Strand & Lock — curly and textured hair specialists in Digbeth

Opposite the Custard Factory on Gibb Street in Deritend, Strand & Lock is an independent salon at the heart of Digbeth’s creative quarter. It has made its name as a curly and textured hair specialist with an inclusive, all-are-welcome ethos.

Services

The salon offers personalised curl-by-curl cutting and styling for textured, curly and wavy hair, plus expert cuts, shaping and maintenance for every hair type. Beyond hair, there are gel-polish manicures and pedicures and advanced aesthetics such as anti-wrinkle treatments, facial contouring and semi-permanent makeup.

Technology & brands

The signature is a curl-by-curl approach — cutting and styling read to each client’s individual curl pattern and lifestyle — supported by gel-polish nail work and clinician-led aesthetic treatments. Tools and stations are kept clean between clients.

Team & masters

The salon is run by a dedicated team of curly-hair specialists who take a personal, one-to-one approach to every head of hair, tailoring the result to the client’s natural texture.

The Space

A relaxed, non-judgmental salon in a converted Digbeth unit beside the Custard Factory — creative, informal and welcoming to every hair type.

Who it’s for

For anyone with curly, coily or textured hair seeking a true specialist, clients who want hair, nails and light aesthetics under one roof, and those who value an inclusive, unhurried space.
