Alyssa has given me the best haircuts I’ve had. She takes her time, checks her work, and asks you what you want. She’s down to earth and easy to talk to. I’ll follow her to any salon. I’d give 6 stars if I could.

Thanks Tammy, yesterday when I came in I was feeling blah about my hair, not sure what to do with it. You took just enough off and today it is so much better. Thanks for the little lift.

I had the pleasure of getting highlights, a cut, and style done by Melanie, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the moment I walked into the salon, she made me feel comfortable and truly listened to what I wanted. So happy to have found myself a new stylist!

My appointments with Cheryl are always great. She listens to what I want in a haircut, offers great suggestions when I can't decide and even spends time teaching me the best way to achieve it.

This is my fourth time to the salon. Easy to book online, friendly staff, and reasonable pricing (industry standards). Got a balayage today by Melanie. Very pleased with the results and will return. Melanie listened to my requests and added her own expertise.

I had a lovely visit to Strands salon today. Tammy, the owner and hairstylist, is so genuine, warm, friendly and welcoming. After looking at my hair, she knew the cut that would suit me perfectly. She did a great job in a wonderful cozy salon. Thank you Tammy.

Great experience. Booked easily online with Fresha and am pleased with the haircut. Thanks Kay!

Tammy was so lovely and really listened to what I was looking to achieve with my hair and executed on the vision wonderfully !

We enjoy going to Kate. Very accommodating as he is in a wheelchair and doesn't transfer well. Kate goes the extra mile and trims his eyebrows and mustache. I highly recommend her smiling face and great service. She really cares

Tammy is a hair genius!
