Our Story

Craft over hype. People over trends.

Strand & Shear Studio was founded on a simple idea: great hair should feel like you—easy to live in, expressive, and healthy long-term. Our team trains continuously in advanced cutting, color theory, curly methods, and scalp care so every guest—across all identities, textures, and hair goals—feels seen and expertly served.

We’re appointment-focused with time to consult, educate, and tailor maintenance plans. We keep our product shelf tight and clean, prioritizing bond-building and scalp health. Expect attentive service, transparent recommendations, and a calm space designed to be genuinely inclusive.
