 FAQs.

  • We do not. As a cutting specialist salon, we focus on giving clients the very best haircut possible. This means, we’re well versed in cutting all textures, shapes and styles of hair.

  • What-you-see-is-what-you-pay pricing. That means, gratuity is already factored into the price listed. No surprises. Because we charge hourly rates, there will always be clarity around what each appointment costs and why.

    New Client? Welcome! Your first appointment will be a little longer to ensure we have thorough consultation time to get to know you and what you are looking for in your service.

    Already been here? You are an existing client and can book a shorter appointment time moving forward! However, we always default to our stylists recommendations. If you need more time every time, we got you! No shortcuts here- we want to make sure you get what you want every single time.

  • We are the first ever truly clean air cutting salon in Texas, meaning there are no aerosol, chemical, or hair color fumes in our salon- providing a safe space for those with sensitivities and allergies. Even our styling products are made from 100% natural ingredients!

  • Where to park during your appointment:

    • Holly Commons ✅

      • This lot is attached to our building! But it is a paid lot. Be sure to scan the QR codes posted in the lot to pay for parking. It's roughly $4/hr to park. But beware-they do ticket if you refuse to pay!

“I’ve been using Strange Bird for all my haircutting needs for the last 5 years and I really just can’t say enough positive things about my experiences here. The salon is beautiful and the talent of their stylists is unmatched.”

— Hannah Ballou

“First of all: I love everything about Strange Bird Salon. With everything going on in the world right now, it feels so good to support a business whose values align with mine—values of inclusivity, social equity, and justice. From the moment I walked in, the space, the staff, and even the art made me feel at ease. On top of that, the aesthetic is gorgeous—I really appreciate a beautiful, welcoming environment.”

— Ziona Debbie Rodriguez

“If you're looking for the best cut of your life, from the most amazing people in town, go here. Lo (the owner) is one of the most incredible people I know and she's a damn fine artist, too. Everyone she brings into her space has to be of a certain humanity; this is not a ‘warm body gets the chair’ environment.”
