Cape Coral clients cross the bridge for this
We won’t pretend we’re around the corner — from Cape Coral it’s a proper half-hour. But great color is not an errand, and clients cross the bridge because the result outlasts the drive by months.

Why the bridge is worth it
Hand-painted balayage that grows out gracefully, dimensional color placed for how your hair moves, and a consultation that actually listens. Book a morning slot, pair it with the Town Center, and make a day of it.
What clients come for
Consultation-first color — lived-in balayage, dimensional highlights, rich all-over tone — precision cutting, hand-matched extensions, and the Wella Pro+ SmoothFiller treatment our stylists are certified in. Bumble and bumble. lists us as a Bb.Exclusive Salon, and the whole team trains across its full range.
Finding us from Cape Coral
Cross the river on the Midpoint or Cape Coral bridge, follow Colonial Boulevard east to I-75, then head south a few exits to Alico Road — Gulf Coast Town Center sits right at the interchange, with free parking outside suite F135. Once you are over the bridge it is interstate almost the whole way, so the drive is easier than it sounds: plan on about 30–40 minutes, door to door. Many Cape clients book a morning appointment and make an afternoon of the Town Center.
Which crossing suits you
Cape Coral is wide, and the honest drive time depends far more on which bridge you use than on how far south or north you live. Here is how the run looks from each part of the Cape.
South Cape — Cape Harbour & Tarpon Point
Cape Coral Parkway east over the Cape Coral Bridge, then College Parkway to Summerlin and south to I-75 — or stay on Colonial if the bridge traffic is kind. Around 40 minutes, and the far end of the Cape is the one drive we would call a proper outing.
South-west Cape — Sandoval & Surfside
Veterans Parkway east across the Midpoint Bridge, straight onto Colonial Boulevard, then I-75 south to Alico Road. Roughly 35 minutes, almost all of it on divided road.
Central & east Cape — Entrada, Coral Lakes
Del Prado Boulevard to Veterans Parkway and over the Midpoint — the shortest crossing from this side. About 30 minutes once you are on Colonial heading east.
North Cape — Burnt Store corridor
Pine Island Road east to US-41, south to Colonial Boulevard, then I-75. Nearer 45 minutes, so north-Cape clients tend to book a morning slot and make a day of the Town Center.

Bumble and bumble. lists us as a Bb.Exclusive Salon — an authorized stockist of its full range — and color by the Canterbury & Co. team is formulated with Wella Professionals. Most Cape clients come to us for balayage, hand-matched extensions, or color correction — the work where a second opinion and an unhurried consultation change the outcome. Planning a first visit?

How long is the drive from Cape Coral?
Between about 30 and 45 minutes, depending on which end of the Cape you start from and which bridge you take. The bridge is the variable — once you are across and on I-75, the rest is quick.
Which bridge should I take?
The Midpoint Memorial Bridge is usually the simplest: Veterans Parkway becomes Colonial Boulevard, which runs straight east to I-75. The Cape Coral Bridge suits the south Cape, and the US-41 bridge is worth it only if you are already heading that way.
Is it really worth crossing the bridge for a hair appointment?
For a trim, honestly, probably not. For color it is a different question — balayage and dimensional work grow out over months, so the drive is a one-off cost against a result you live with until the next appointment. That is the trade most of our Cape clients have made.
Is parking easy when I get there?
Yes. Parking throughout Gulf Coast Town Center is free and open, and you can usually stop within a few steps of our door at suite F135.
