Moving to a new city, one challenge has always been finding someone I could really trust with my hair. After a few disappointing cuts from other places, I was finally recommended to Victor at Strands, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
From short-haired fades to long-haired flow, Victor continues to give me the best haircuts I’ve ever had. You can tell he’s been in the industry for years (his experience shows in every detail) but what really sets him apart is that he stays up to date with the latest styles and techniques. He listens closely when you describe what you’re looking for and then executes it flawlessly.
The prices at Strands are incredibly reasonable for the level of care and skill Victor brings. More than just a haircut, he makes the whole experience feel personal and intentional. You never feel like just another number in a chair, he truly wants you to leave feeling your best.
If you’re looking for a stylist who combines expertise, style, and genuine care, Victor at Strands is it. I’m so glad I found him!

If you're a woman....don't go here. I used to get my hair done by Luisa, and she was incredible. She moved away, and so I booked an appointment with Miko. Went in for a bang trim and root retouch-up for my medium dark brown hair and curtain bangs. Ended up with roots looking the same color as my natural roots (black) and not what I asked for. The bangs were cut to look like a bowl cut. Ruined hair that I LOVED before coming in, even though I did not ask for a change in the slightest....Miko made rude/unprofessional/uncomfortable comments. We agreed on below my eyebrows, and my bangs now sit above my eyebrows. I am currently styling my hair, wearing the bangs back, and booked an appointment with a more trustworthy salon in December once they grow out again. It will take 1-2 months for my hair to get back to the shape it was in. During the bang trim, I told him directly to stop cutting because he was making it very, very short. He didn't listen and told me he knew what he was doing. Well, my bangs aren't curtain bang length anymore. My hair is one of my favorite and most distinctive features about me. Walked in confident & feeling good, walked out crying...
Had to cancel and postpone my DMV appointment (new license picture), my first day of work is next week, and my birthday is the week after...safe to say I will be wearing a headband until whenever the bangs grow back to a length that would be plausible for curtain bangs....hopefully by 2026.
Went to a more trustworthy salon the next day, and they told me they can't do anything until the bangs grow out and roots grow out to my virgin hair color (since they don't wanna bleach the roots)....Very upset...a huge waste of $100 to feel worse about myself....in this economy...crazy...
