First time in this salon and Europe did my hair and I love it, she listens to what you want and explains as she goes on what she's doing. She did a color and a trim. I highly recommend her

I recently visited Artistic Strands Salon for the first time. Europe was my stylist. She took the time to talk to me about my hair and look at a picture that I brought in. She carefully explained what she intended to do and the different products she was using and why. When completed, I was very pleased with my new haircut and the way she made my curls really pop! It looked and felt so great. Let me also say that Europe was extremely kind and caring in her interactions with me. She gave me a tour of the salon and recommended some wonderful products that were not extremely expensive. I really appreciate her enthusiasm and passion for her work!

Bri did an absolutely phenomenal job on my hair and she explained everything along the way, along with how to maintain my hair style. She does an amazing job with men’s cuts!!

I will preface this five-star rating by saying that I do not like getting my haircut. My stylist was very accommodating to my needs and my wants and I swear to you my curls have never looked this good in my entire life. The atmosphere of the salon is cozy and welcoming and I love all of the living plants throughout the studio. I would recommend artistic strands to anyone, especially those who may struggle with Salon cuts

Went for Eyebrow waxing with Europe and she was so sweet, easy to talk to and even gave a tour of the salon! 10/10 would recommend! I have also used Andraya for Sugaring and she’s also very informative and thorough!

I had my consultation about two weeks ago and she had explained to me the whole process of a curly haircut. She explained to me what she was doing and how I could achieve it at home and I absolutely love my new hair. I never knew I could get it to curl like she was able to get my hair curl definitely will be going back everybody. There was just so nice and friendly.

Sarah is fantastic. It had admittedly been a while since my last haircut and I definitely needed some help on how to best care for my fine, brittle hair. She explained the "why" behind what products I needed and additional tips and tricks to help work on repairing my damaged hair. She's the best. This was also my first time in the new salon and I love the environment! Everyone was so helpful from walking in, the actual cut, product recommendations, reschedule, and check out. THANK YOU!

I have been going to Sarah to have my hair styled for a few years now. Each and every time I have an appointment, Sarah takes the time to discuss new ideas, thoughts and possible new directions to try. It's not everyday that you find such an interesting and caring salon. I highly recommend Artistic Strands Salon!

Abby was wonderful. She listened to everything I had to say and my cut came out perfect. My hair goes back and forth from wavy to curly and Abby was able to cut and style it perfectly. 10/10

I have gone to Denise for many years. This week I went in for a cut and color and asked her about trying a new style. She did some searching and found something we both thought would work for me (face shape, styling skill, lifestyle etc). She spent a lot of time trimming to get just the right shape and then showed me how to blow dry and style it on my own. She explained all about how to use styling products. I really like my new hairstyle and can do it myself. She loves the creative aspects of cutting and styling hair. If you want an excellent stylist who will help you achieve a great look, see Denise at Artistic Strands!

I absolutely love this place. Been coming here for a couple of years now. My hair has never looked better or been healthier. They take great care of me.

I have long, white, curly hair and have always struggle to find someone that understand cutting curly hair. I'm also one that doesn't like a lot of products on my hair. Sarah was recommended to me and I found her to be very professional and knowledgeable. The cut is great and she really took the time to find out how I take care of my hair and give me techniques and suggestions that fit with my lifestyle.

I moved from out of state and was concerned about finding someone who knew how to work with my thyroid-hair. I had lost a LOT of hair while I had thyroid and parathyroid tumors (and doctors kept refusing to order the labs I requested). My hair became thinner and more fine. (Thyroid hair is thin at the front/top and it is dry and scraggly looking around the face) Denise took the time to talk, listen and make recommendations. She also took the time to make sure my allergies and sensitive skin would not react to the products she chose for me before shampooing and styling. We also discussed what I like and don't like and set some goals for future changes. She did a great job cutting and styling my hair and left me with fuller looking hair. The products she used also helped my hair look fuller. The ladies were all friendly and welcoming. I am so glad this was the first place I went when I moved here. I will not need to keep searching.

Always a great experience

Bre is a joy and I am never disappointed

Denise is amazing! I came in with a awful haircut that needed to be fixed. She made me feel comfortable and confident she would fix it. She took her time to analyze my hair and talk through how she would fix it. She has years of experience under her belt and passion that can really be seen in the haircut. I will definitely be back.

I have had 5+ perms in my lifetime, Denise talked with me and after she heard what I was looking for/what I would like to do differently from the past perms she trimmed my hair and put more curler rods in! She gave me the most natural looking, curly perm that I have ever had! It still looks just as good as when she did it for me a month or so ago! Denise is so friendly, made me feel comfortable, and runs a wonderful salon! Thank you Denise!!!

I have never had a bad experience here. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Abby does a fantastic job with cutting and styling my hair. If I'm not sure what I want I just leave it up to her and I have never been disappointed.

I have very curly hair and have always been anxious about getting my haircut. I set my first appointment with a first time curly cut with Bre. She was phenomenal! Listened to my concerns and walked me the whole process. I got most of my hair chopped off( about mid back dry and curled, to just below my chin) and left feeling happy and informed. I just came back in for my 12 week trim and was in and out with an awesome cut. I can’t recommend them enough. I tell all my curly haired friends to come out here, if you have any doubts, give them a chance. They won’t disappoint

Last time I went, the whole experience was pleasant. From figuring out what I wanted to do to walking out with a specially curated curly hair cut - Bre is the best!
