About

Strands Salon Spa is located in Rancho Bernardo and works exclusively with Aveda products and hair color. The salon describes its mission as providing high-quality services and products while positively affecting each guest at every visit, and it uses eco-friendly products and environmentally sound practices where possible. The salon's own site describes it as the best salon in Rancho Bernardo for 2026.

The menu is organized into haircuts, color, styling, treatments and makeup. Color work covers root touch-ups, shadow roots, all-over color mixed for each client, partial and full highlights, full balayage, bleach and tone, and vibrant color. Haircuts include bang or nape trims, barbering style cuts, custom cuts for any length or style, and kids haircuts for children under 7. Styling includes special occasion up dos and half up and down looks, vintage roller sets, shampoo blow-dries, curling and flat iron styles, texturizing perms, keratin treatments and extensions, which begin with a consultation and are offered as K-tips or tape-ins.

Booking by phone or online is recommended to secure a time, though walk-ins are accepted. Stylists do not necessarily charge the listed starting price, so clients can ask about pricing for a specific stylist. The salon may ask for a credit or debit card on file for services longer than an hour. Arriving more than 15 minutes late may lead to a rescheduled appointment or a no-show mark. Cancellations need 24 hours' notice and must be made by phone during business hours, and cancelling within 24 hours or not showing up incurs a charge of 50% of the scheduled services.

The salon focuses on Aveda products and vegan, cruelty-free formulas, with eco-friendly practices used where possible.
