Uniting The Beauty Industry
and Dermatologists
S.T.R.A.N.D. was created after the success of our founder’s dermatologic salon, Peterkindred. Susan and Dr. Kindred began working in tandem to treat hair loss clients, and witnessed a significant improvement in restoration when hair loss is detected early, diagnosed and treated properly, and when proper in-salon techniques are utilized to prevent contributing to further damage. Having witnessed the success in their collaboration, Susan and Dr. Kindred seek to bridge the gap between dermatologists and hair care professionals specializing in hair loss.
Balancing Science and Wellness
Our approach acknowledges and respects the roles science and wellness play in combatting hair loss. We understand that stylists and estheticians are key to early detection, and with the proper techniques and care procedures, we are able to contribute to the success of restoration treatments. We also respect the medical knowledge and authority of dermatologists specializing in hair loss, respecting their ability to diagnose our clients and treat the root cause of their condition. By following the science and working together, we are able to form the frontline of defense against hair loss, combat misinformation, and produce the best possible outcome for our hair loss clients.

"Together, We Heal"
“There is a great interconnectedness between the science of hair and the styling of hair, which was displayed at each session. Learning more about the health of hair will help me become even more caring for my clients, and it will answer some of the biggest questions that have stumped me for years as a braider.”
