Strebler best describes her salon as nostalgia-meets-nails. “It’s packed full of nostalgic collectibles, toys, four selfie spots and a big screen that constantly plays old school music videos,” she says. Photographs of celebrities from the 1990s through early 2000s hang on the walls throughout the salon, which also feature hand-painted murals courtesy of Strebler herself.

The appointment-only salon serves as a place for clients to escape and travel back in time. Strebler wanted to create a space reminiscent of a time “when the music was better and days were carefree.” When designing the space, Strebler focused on girly, chic-meets-edgy, retro. She thrifted and refurbished most of the furniture, desks, tables and decor herself and even created a space for skincare, facials and waxing.
