From the moment you walk through our doors, it’s all about you and your hair journey.
We’re a collective of talented stylists dedicated to helping you achieve your best hair yet. Our expertise isn’t confined to one specialty, because at Thatch & Fringe, our niche is simple: Good hair. Whether you’re looking for a fresh cut, dimensional color, seamless extensions, or rejuvenating treatments, our approach is all about enhancing your natural beauty and making sure you leave feeling your most confident, radiant self.
What truly sets us apart is our team-first philosophy and commitment to creating a welcoming, drama-free environment. At Thatch & Fringe, we work together to ensure you receive the best experience every time you visit. We encourage you to see whoever you want, whenever you want. We keep meticulous client notes to make sure your preferences are honored and your hair journey remains consistent and exceptional, no matter which stylist you choose.
And when it comes to hair health, we’ve curated one of the most extensive and unique treatment menus serving the Kitchener-Waterloo area. Our treatments are designed to nourish, revive, and transform, offering real, noticeable results. From luxurious hot oil steams and refreshing scalp facials to deep, reparative treatments, we deliver indulgent self-care rituals that elevate hair health and beauty to the next level. Even if you have a regular stylist elsewhere, our specialized treatments are worth the visit.
It’s not just about beautiful hair. It’s about feeling beautiful, inside and out. We’re here to make your hair journey extraordinary.
