Meet the Hair Stylists at The Strand

Find Your Columbia, MO Hairstylist

The right stylist isn't just someone who knows how to cut or color hair. They're someone who listens, understands what you want, and gets to know you over time.

That's always been part of The Strand.

Our team includes professional hairstylists with different specialties, experience, and approaches to hair. Whether you're looking for a balayage specialist, a stylist experienced with curly or textured hair, men's hair services, gray blending, razor cutting, fine hair, or simply someone who feels like the right fit, start here.
