SANDPOINT — Two local friends have teamed up to offer Sandpoint a one-stop shop of hair services for everyone.
After attending the Paul Mitchell school in Spokane, Alysha McLelland and Kylee Cropper graduated together and started planning a future business in their hometown of Sandpoint.
With McLelland working with mostly female cuts and coloring and Cropper specializing in men’s cuts, they had a vision of working together to provide a wide range of services to fit all needs and clientele. When a spot opened at 219 Church St., the pair knew it was meant to be — a spot where they could share the space, yet create their own unique yet complementary look and feel.
A|M Studio Salon, located in Suite A, specializes in color, color correction, cuts, styling, and extensions.
You can find McLelland on Instagram at am_studiosalon and text 208-610-7407 for appointments.
Hours are by appointment only Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.-4:45 p.m.
Cropper & Co. Barber Shop, in Suite B, offers men’s cuts, kids cut’s, beard shaping, as well as products and instruction on beard maintenance.
You can find them on Instagram at CropperAndCoBarber, for messaging and online booking.
Hours are Tuesday-Friday, 10:30 a.m. and the last cut at 5 p.m. (walk-ins and appointments), Saturday is dedicated to walk-ins only starting at 9:30 a.m.
The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce recently welcomed A|M Studio Salon and Cropper & Co. Barber Shop as new chamber members. They celebrated with a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, Aug. 10 at their shared location on Church Street in downtown Sandpoint.
