Bexley clients looking for a hair salon near Bexley that offers something more personal than a large salon floor often make the trip across town to Authentic Strands in Grandview Heights, where the focus is on custom color and hand-tied + K-Tip extensions.
Bexley is a tree-lined suburb just east of downtown Columbus. For clients making the trip across town, color that looks natural and grows out softly, like balayage, is a popular request, and it shapes how we approach placement.
