Cooper & Strop Hair Parlor

I just moved up here to Apple Valley and needed a new hair salon. I saw the reviews for this salon and sent a message through Unilocal late one night. The owner Michelle replied right back to me and set me up ASAP with a stylist for a cut. I went for the appointment and met Brandee she was awesome! After my great hair cut I went back 5 days later and got color! My hair is amazing! And Brandi is the BEST!!!

UPDATE: I received an email from Alyssa shortly after I left the salon. It was thoughtful, kind and considerate with an offer to still do my hair. I wrote back, apologized to her for my rudeness (I was rude) and we put any bad feelings aside — both of us willing to reach out an olive branch.
I recently emailed Alyssa asking her if I could take her up on her offer of an appointment to do my hair and I now have an appointment on July 13, 2016 at 3:00 pm. I am so pleased she reached out and initiated this conversation and we were able to work this out. That’s first uclass service.
I am looking forward to working with her. She and I decided on a vision at our first appointment which she came in on her day off to do. It is exactly how I envisioned my hair to be
My review is updated to 5 beautiful *****.

Missy DeBellis cut my hair and gave me balayage highlights and did a great job. I really love the highlights and am 80% satisfied with the cut. She is seeing me again to adjust my cut so that I am fully satisfied. I appreciate that. The salon was cute and bustling – a little hot on the day I went due to a broken AC, hopefully it is fixed soon.

Alyssa has always been so amazing that I drive from Ventura county just to come see her! I haven’t had my hair done by anyone else in years! I have always been so amazed by her work. I can honestly sit in her chair and have nothing to worry about because I know I’m in good hands! Her passion for hair has far succeeded any other stylist I’ve ever met! She is honest and would never allow anything but her best! Thank you Alyssa for all you do!!! You’re truly an amazing stylist!

Oh my goodness! 32 years of my life wasted until I found this place!!! All I got was a haircut and a blowdry by Samantha but Im going back for more! My hair has never felt this good! She did an amazing job! Totally tipping her a hundred bucks next week! Cant wait!!! Customer for life!!!

Being due for a haircut but short on recognizable and quality salons, took to Unilocal as so many of us tend to. The first recommendation with astoundingly high reviews was this fine establishment.
As soon as I entered I was served immediately, despite the salon being quite busy. A polite and friendly gentleman with blonde hair and nice tattoos asked me what I’d like. I told him, and to work he went.
A nice conversation and trim later, I had my hair shampooed and conditioned by a lovely lady with red hair. We talked about Sweeney Todd and how awkward it’d be to have a straight razor shave with someone you don’t know. All in all, the service was quick and fantastic. The cut was exactly what I asked for, and the people were polite and pleasant.
In retrospect, I wish I’d have gotten my stylists name along with others but hey, I’ll have the chance for that next time. Since I definitely plan to head here again.
TLDR: Great people, great atmosphere, great conversation. You should probably give this place a try.

I have been a client of Kat’s for many years. I continue to see her because she is very good at what she does, is a sweet person and strives to get you feeling and looking your best. She is honest and will give me her opinion, but never pressures me into anything. She really takes the time to do a great job. Cooper and Strop has a very nice and relaxing vibe. Thank you for the great service! I highly recommend Kat and this
salon!

I’ve been going to this salon for almost a year and I always have a great experience. My stylist, Tiffany Myers, is amazing and all of the other stylist are super friendly as well. Getting my hair done is a treat for me and the cool and relaxing environment only makes the experience so much better! I highly recommend this salon to anyone!

Best salon in the High Desert! Full service, even massages. Have Arielle cut your hair. She is a hair goddess!

A huge thanks to Tiffany Lee!!! After explaining my phobia of getting my hair cut after a couple foul experiences, she amazed me with her understanding, active listening and patience. She consistently made sure I was happy with the length and shape. I am in love with my new bangs and will definitely be coming back to see her from now on!

I just wanted to take a minute to write a review on hair stylist Samantha O. I had a color correction performed by her today, and she did an amazing job. Sweet, and professional as well. The salon is one of the few nicest places I’ve seen in the high desert. My new favorite salon !

Loved how Kristen did my hair sweet girl and talented ! Book her and you won’t be disappointed!

I just wanted to take a moment to express my happiness! Yesterday I enjoyed a day of true pampering. From the moment I walked into the salon to when I left I was truly cared for. Let me start by saying that I drove almost an hour for my hair appointment with my new hair stylist Alyssa, who I must say rocks not only color and cuts but truly understands full service and the importance of client comfort. I arrived on time and appreciated that she did not have me wait, then went right into the consultation and immediately felt I was in good hands. We designed a plan and she went to work doing her magic. I really think people need to be realistic. A photo is great, but understand that’s most likely a person with a different hair history, with different texture from you… it’s a journey so be open to the process! While I was with Alyssa she paid full attention to me, her kindness surpasses anything I could have thought for a first appointment. I must say that she did not disappoint! Her work speaks for itself. I walked out feeling better educated on my hair, products I can use to improve my hair, with rocking hair, and ready to spend more time with this incredible human.
The salon itself is simply beautiful. Obviously the owner has put her heart into the style and design and I greatly appreciate what she has done. The other hair stylists seemed happy in their environment and this their clients seemed at ease and happy as well. Great VIBE!!!
If your looking for a change maybe something new or something you’ve wanted to try with your hair check out this salon as it doesn’t disappoint.

I moved from the inland empire back up to the high desert and was definitely in need of a hair make over. It had to be over 7 months since my hair had been trimmed or lightened. After extensive research from instagram and Unilocal,I narrowed my search to the high desert. The commute down the hill is just not worth it. Anyway, I discovered this amazing place that has been lighting up the high desert with all the 5 star reviews!
It took me about a week until I really decided to go through with making an appointment with Alyssa and she was absolutely thorough. She contacted me immediately to figure out more about my hair texture and history. We then finalized the appointment two weeks from when i contacted her. She is very considerate of your time and really makes sure you’re comfortable.
When I came for my appointment, I was met with Alyssa at the counter with her previous client. I immediately felt welcomed as her client kept reassuring me how talented and amazing Alyssa is.
Everything during the appointment went smooth. The 15 minute consultation helped me figure out the direction we were taking to transform my straw, crispy blonde hair into an incredible steel gray. Alyssa was attentive, asking whether I would like a drink or a snack. She informed me about every process and step we took.
I am extremely in love with my hair!!! If you are in need of some TLC for your hair, definitely come here. I highly recommend this place!
Careful on your drive home though. You will be staring at your new, beautiful hair for hours after leaving this place!

I was looking for a new place to try and saw this place on Unilocal… I decided to give it a try because I did not like the color of my hair from my old salon… i stopped by on a Monday and hoped that someone can rescue me from this color… well, The ladies were so kind to find me someone and I was so fortunate to have Valerie as my stylist! She did such an amazing job!!! I got exactly what I asked for and she was so pleasant to have been with! Thank you so much, Valerie!!! I am definitely coming back to you!

I have been a customer here on four different occasions. Michelle has done my hair and my son’s hair. She is an expert with coloring, cuts, and overall hair treatments. She listens to my ideas and gives me a look I always love. I also get my eyebrows done, which takes maybe 2 minutes. I love the efficiency and ease of getting them done when I’m here anyway.
Every time we are here, we have been given the royal treatment! I love how friendly everyone is and am always greeted upon arrival. When stylists pass through the front area, they ask if I’ve been helped and if they can get me anything. When I come without my kids, I can relax and enjoy the laid back atmosphere, organic coffee and biscotti.
I am looking forward to my next appointment!

This is a much needed salon up in the high desert! I love the modern industrial chicness of it. Yes, chicness.
I absolutely love Kristin and thinks she does a great job of not only cutting and coloring but also styling the hair afterward! Nothing worse than a hair stylist who curls your hair all wonky, right? Been there before. But not at cooper & strop! I definitely recommend!

Go to Alyssa. Don’t even question it. I met her (my massage therapist is here too… Britnie…she is also BRILLIANT!) and I just knew she would make my hair amazing. I left it in her hands (merely warning her that my hair loves to embrace brassy tones), and I could not be more pleased with the results.
It’s perfect. Exactly what I have always wanted my hair to look like, but no stylist has ever been able to make it happen. I didn’t even really tell her what I wanted, she’s like a ninja mind reader… she just KNEW, and it’s gorgeous. I’ve not had a regular stylist in over 6 years… but let me tell you, I booked my next appointment, and will continue to book with her. Her pricing is amazing, she’s got a great sense of humor, and yes, it was a fabulous hair washing experience. I walked in slightly frazzled, exhausted, and almost fell asleep while she was putting colour in my hair. Alyssa didn’t miss a beat, she rolled with it and even made sure I had water AND coffee.
The salon itself has a great atmosphere, it’s rustic chic barn meets vintage shop. It’s peaceful, and everyone who works there just seems so happy. There’s no stress, and the salon owner put together a great little spot here in our sometimes dismal desert. You feel like you are in some cute little downtown area with the «brick» & reclaimed wood walls. I love it.
For massage, go see Britnie. She’s very knowledgable about bodywork and how interconnected everything is. I see her at least twice a month and she keeps me sane.
High Desert, this place is the Next Big Thing. Go. Find a stylist (Alyssa…but make sure she still has room for me), and enjoy a lovely afternoon.

Please do not be deterred by negative reviews!!!
My friend referred me to Michelle, the owner, to do my hair while she was on maternity leave. Even knowing I would only be there for a few months she was great to me. I came in with a custom-​style cut my friend had given me and on the first appt Michelle took great care to match the cut and color. Every girl I came in contact there over these past few months were just as friendly and professional. Also over this period the shop tripled in size almost solely because of the people who wanted to come work for her. The construction never got in the way or slowed anything down. I have since referee two people to C&S and will continue to do so. Even after I’m back at my friend’s I will still return to this shop for other services.

This salon is fantastic! Beautifully set up, and the staff was really nice & welcoming! It’s chic with a little country/​tavern look! Full service salon at that!
Now for hair stylist! I am sure they have the absolute best around town, but I recommend Alyssa! She is such a beautiful soul who has a passion for the art of hair! She is very patient & understanding! And I can be so neurotic and OCD about my hair! Always has wonderful suggestions!
