your stylists
Siera
Owner and founder
Siera had a specific vision when it came to opening Desert Strands for clients and stylists. She wanted stylists to have a space to create, grow, and inspire. Also, for clients to feel welcomed as soon as they walk through the doors and know they are exactly where they are supposed to be. She wants clients to come for the luxury experience and stay for the chill vibes.
Siera wants Desert Strands to always feel like a place to escape whether it’s to sit down and receive a relaxing service with a drink in hand, or to catch up with their favorite hairstylist.
