Terms of Service

Effective June 12, 2026

Welcome to Strand. By using StrandConnects.com or submitting a founding member application, you agree to these terms.

What Strand is

Strand is a marketplace and directory that connects clients with certified hair extension specialists. Strand is currently in its pre-launch founding member phase. Strand is a discovery platform, not a salon. All appointments, services, and payments for services are arranged directly between clients and stylists through the stylist's own booking system. Strand is not a party to those arrangements and takes no commission or booking fees.

Founding member applications

  • Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance. Strand hand-reviews every application and may accept or decline at its discretion.
  • Every stylist on Strand must hold a valid, current cosmetology license, which we verify against the issuing state's board before a profile goes live. License details are never displayed publicly.
  • There is no charge until your license is verified and your application is approved. Paid memberships may be cancelled anytime.
  • Founding members who choose annual billing at signup lock in that rate permanently, as described at signup.

Your responsibilities

You agree to provide accurate, current information in your application and profile — including your license, certifications, photos, and pricing tier — and to keep it up to date. Portfolio photos must be your own work or work you have the right to use.

Our content

The Strand name, wordmark, website design, and all site content belong to Strand and may not be copied or used without our written permission.

Disclaimers

Strand verifies stylist licenses and reviews certifications, but stylists are independent professionals — Strand does not employ them, supervise their work, or guarantee any outcome of services. The site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Strand will not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or from services arranged between clients and stylists.

Changes

We may update these terms as Strand grows. Updated terms will be posted here with a new effective date, and continued use of the site means you accept them.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California.
