Strand-studio

STRAND PSA: there's a new business, whose name begins with Strand, located on E Washington St (the street I've been on for 11+ years) offering similar hair services. For those of you who patronize my joint, please be careful when booking as I had someone accidentally book with the other place and was charged a no show/cancellation fee on their credit card. There is only one STRAND. And that is me. My booking site:

Keep reading if you’d like to know more about what a tin type actually is. (thank you Wikipedia)
“A tintype, also known as a melanotype or ferrotype, is a photograph made by creating a direct positive on a thin sheet of metal, colloquially called ‘tin’ (though not actually tin-coated), coated with a dark lacquer or enamel and used as the support for the photographic emulsion”.

C always pushes my skillset!

A classic Sassoon crop for this stunner who wears it well!

Did you get the memo? It was officially “its too hot for long hair” season as of yesterday (tell the others!) This is Richard. He’s a runner, a consummate home renovator, and cat daddy to his Maine C**n, Espen. Like many, his long hair was the result of the shut down so here we are a few years later and several degrees hotter out there. Nine out of 10 Richards agree, shorter is better! Thank you Richard for the always interesting conversation and coming to STRAND!

STRAND is a dog (and ginger) friendly establishment. Meet Meeko and his person and the Dibs with hers

Lets hear it for the baseball mullet! Meet Harry. This articulate, beautiful, smiley guy knew exactly what he wanted and sat like a champ! He plays baseball and soccer, watches Tom and Jerry toons, is known to call his peeps “bro,” digs super heroes and Ozzy Osbourne! He makes me laugh and I truly enjoy visiting with him. Had a blast cutting this kool kid!
