I recently had my hair colored by **Ms. Angela Andersen**, and I can honestly say it may be the best hair color I’ve ever had.
Angela is an exceptionally talented master colorist with an incredible eye for tone, depth and dimension. The color she created has beautiful variation rather than looking flat or one-dimensional, and the tones are absolutely perfect for complementing my skin tone and eyes. The result is rich, sophisticated and remarkably natural-looking.
What impressed me most is the artistry behind it. Angela clearly understands that truly great hair color isn’t simply about choosing a shade—it’s about creating the right combination of tones and dimension… read full review

Some appointments are just about getting your hair done. This wasn't one of them.
From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed. Angela created a space where I could simply relax, trust the process, and enjoy the experience. We had effortless conversations, shared a few laughs, and before I knew it, several hours had passed. By the time I left, it felt like this wasn't just the end of a great salon visit—it was the beginning of a genuine friendship.
What I appreciated most was her honesty. She wasn't trying to sell me on something that wouldn't suit me—she genuinely wanted the best outcome for my hair. That kind of integrity is rare and made me trust her completely.
Angela at Staerk Hair is a true artist. She transformed my old colour into a beautifully personalized blend while strategically letting my natural greys shine through. I feel like a confident and refreshed version of myself. She listened carefully during our consultation, offered expert advice, and delivered exactly what we planned during my five-hour grey-blending appointment.
Her studio is a calming, welcoming space, and her sweet dog Jughead adds the perfect cozy touch (along with tea and treats!). I felt right at home from the moment I walked in. What an amazing experience! I am thrilled with the results and highly recommend Angela.
