About Strands

A Legacy of Craftsmanship Since 2013

Strands was born from a belief that a great haircut is more than a service — it's an experience. Founded by master stylist Marcus Chen, our salon has grown into New York's premier destination for those who appreciate the art of personal style.

Every member of our team has trained under world-renowned stylists in London, Tokyo, and Milan. We bring international artistry to the heart of Manhattan, combining time-honored barbering techniques with cutting-edge trends.

What Our Clients Say

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our clients have to say about their Strands experience.

"Sofia's color work is absolutely world-class. She gave me a natural-looking balayage that gets me compliments everywhere I go. The color has held up beautifully after six weeks. Truly an artist with hair."
