Our Story

A team of six specialists united by a love of great hair and a commitment to doing things the right way.

Who We Are

Dublin's Home of Great Hair

Strand & Co. opened its doors in Dublin in 2016 with a singular vision: to create a salon where every client feels genuinely seen, heard, and transformed. Eight years later, that vision remains unchanged — but our reputation has grown far beyond what we ever imagined.

We were founded by Aoife Kelly, a master stylist with a background in some of London and Dublin's most prestigious salons. She assembled a team of like-minded specialists who share her passion for technical excellence, creative thinking and personalised service.

Today, our team of six expert stylists serves hundreds of loyal Dublin clients each week, offering everything from precision cuts and balayage to bridal styling and clinical scalp treatments. Every single appointment is approached with the same care — whether it's a quick fringe trim or a full colour correction.

Our Values

Committed to Doing Better

From the products we use to the way we run the salon, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.

Ethical Product Choices

Every brand we stock and use is chosen for its commitment to cruelty-free, sustainable manufacturing. We only partner with brands that align with our values — including Davines, whose B Corp certification sets the gold standard for sustainable beauty.

Reduced Waste

We've eliminated single-use plastics from the salon floor, implemented colour mixing precision to reduce chemical waste, and partner with a local recycling programme for all professional product packaging.

Energy & Water Conscious

We use energy-efficient appliances throughout the salon, have installed water-saving shower heads, and our salon lighting is fully LED. Small changes, meaningful impact.
