A hair salon near Estero, right across the line
Canterbury & Co. sits inside Gulf Coast Town Center — technically Fort Myers, but right on the Estero line at the Alico Road interchange. For much of Estero, especially the communities east of I-75, the drive to our chair is as short as — often shorter than — the drive to the salons you may have been considering instead.

Minutes away, not a trip
From most of Estero we are one exit up I-75, or a straight run up Ben Hill Griffin Parkway — with free parking right at our door at Gulf Coast Town Center. Close enough for a lunchtime gloss; convenient enough for a standing appointment that actually stays standing.
What Estero 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 smoothing treatment, from Tori Knox and Julie Bockhorst, who are certified in it. Every appointment starts with an unhurried conversation, because the right result depends on your hair, not a menu. The salon is also home to our certified extension specialists — reason enough on its own for the short drive to hair extensions done properly.
Balayage near Estero
For balayage near Estero, Canterbury & Co. Salon hand-paints it at Gulf Coast Town Center, one exit north of Corkscrew Road on I-75: about 20–25 minutes from Verdana Village, 15–20 from The Place at Corkscrew and Bella Terra, and 5–10 from Miromar Lakes and Esplanade Lake Club. The Canterbury Color Team specializes in Wella Professionals color, from Shinefinity glosses to dimensional balayage, and trains under founder Alli Canterbury, a former Wella Professionals color educator; Director Stylist Nicole Spaude brings more than 20 years behind the chair, including years as a salon owner.
Every balayage starts with a consultation about your hair history and the tone you are picturing; for darker bases that want a brighter result we usually suggest foilyage, the same hand-painted placement wrapped in foil for extra lift. Most clients refresh the painted dimension every three to four months, with a gloss in between to keep the tone fresh through a Florida summer.

The balayage price range is on our services page, and your stylist confirms your quote before any color is mixed.
