From the moment you walk in, the vibe is so cute and inviting. The space is beautifully designed, and the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. All the stylists and assistants are incredibly friendly, making every visit feel like a little treat. Now, if you're looking for someone truly exceptional, Lauren is the person to go to. I’ve been a loyal client of hers for over 10 years, and she continues to amaze me with her talent. Whether it's a color refresh, a cut, extensions or a whole new look, Lauren always nails it. She’s not just a stylist—she's an artist. I trust her completely with my hair, and she never disappoints. Even if you're not getting your hair done by Lauren, rest assured that everyone in the salon is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable. The whole team is top-notch, so you’re in great hands no matter who you see. Highly recommend this place for both the vibe and the talent!" — Skyler Marston (Google, ★5) > "I have been with Lauren since the inception of Stranded Salon and am continually blown away by the standard of excellence Stranded offers. Immediately as you walk through the doors, you’re immersed into a high end luxury boutique salon and meet with a friendly welcome. Before you even sit in the chair, you’re handed a beverage menu with curated drinks, coffee, holiday lattes (depending on the season) and a mini snack offering. Lauren and the Stranded team have thought of everything when giving their clients the BEST experience. If you’re new to the area or looking for an ultra fabulous experience with your next haircut/blowout, I HIGHLY recommend calling Stranded." — Katie Bakker (Google, ★5) > "I cannot say enough good things about this salon. I have been going to Lauren for my cut and color for almost 10 years now and I cannot stray away. She makes my hair look the best every time… the most consistent stylist I’ve ever known. Also, the salon is VERY clean and well kept. They offer you snacks and beverages which I’m always happy with when you’re there for multiple hours. The location is beautiful as well.
