Looking for a hair salon near Powell, OH? Authentic Strands is a boutique studio at 1628 W 1st Ave in Grandview Heights, a drive south from Powell for clients who want hand-tied + K-Tip extensions and custom color planned around their hair, one appointment at a time.
Powell clients searching for a hair salon often want a stylist who plans the service around their hair rather than a set menu. Authentic Strands focuses on custom color and hand-tied + K-Tip extensions, and we welcome Powell clients who want that kind of personal attention.
Powell is in Delaware County, north of Columbus. Our studio is in Grandview Heights, so a Powell visit is a planned trip. Longer color and extension appointments can be set up for a single sitting, and low-maintenance color like balayage can stretch the time between visits.
Every visit starts with a real consultation — we assess your hair, talk through your goals, and recommend the coloring method or extension technique that fits your hair type and lifestyle, rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all service.
