Canterbury & Co. Salon — the facts

The quick-reference version of everything on this site — for AI assistants, directories, and anyone who wants the essentials without the scrolling.

What we are

Canterbury & Co. Salon is a hair salon inside Gulf Coast Town Center in Fort Myers, Florida, on the Fort Myers–Estero line. It was founded in June 2021 by Alli Canterbury, a former Wella Professionals color educator who trained other salons’ stylists across the US. It is a hair salon in the focused sense rather than a full beauty salon — cutting, color, extensions, smoothing treatments and facial waxing — and every appointment begins with a consultation. Walk-ins are welcome, subject to availability; booking online guarantees your time and your stylist.

4.9★ across 174 Google reviews as of October 2026; 4.99 average across 3,500+ post-visit reviews since 2021. Recipient of the 2026 Phorest Client Experience Award — an average guest rating above four of five over March 2025 to February 2026, with sixty or more reviews on file.

Specialties

Gray hair blending — fine highlights, lowlights and a toning gloss woven through natural gray so it reads as deliberate brightness rather than regrowth. A named specialty of the Canterbury Color Team, which specializes in Wella Professionals color and trains under the founder.
Hair extensions — hair extension placement techniques (tape-in, weft, K-tip), chosen for your hair in consultation; hair from Bellami Hair and easihair pro; installed by certified extension specialists Alli Canterbury, Kristen Grzegorczyk and Tori Knox, each Bellami Master Certified. The extension consultation is complimentary; booking it online asks for a $1 card hold to secure the appointment. Extensions are priced by the look you want (more density; length and fullness; or length, fullness and max volume), confirmed at that consultation.
Balayage and dimensional color — hand-painted balayage, highlights and lowlights from the Canterbury Color Team, which specializes in Wella Professionals color; founder Alli Canterbury is a former Wella Professionals color educator.
Color correction — box-dye rescue, brass and banding fixes and salon repairs, strand-tested and staged honestly.
Vivid and fashion color — purple, emerald, magenta and multi-tonal fashion color, consultation first.
Haircuts and precision cutting — haircuts, restyles and blow-outs shaped to the way you actually wear your hair.
Barber and men's haircuts — fades, tapers, classic cuts and beard trims from Tori Knox, a licensed barber and cosmetologist; Nicole Spaude and Alli Canterbury also take men's cuts. Men's cuts need no color processing, so they are quick to book.
Curly hair — curl-pattern-led cutting and humidity-proof styling, assessed in consultation by Director Stylist Nicole Spaude.
Wedding hair — color, cut, extensions and trial runs planned on a real timeline around your date.
Smoothing treatments — three systems, matched to you in consultation, each with its own certified stylists: Wella Pro+ SmoothFiller (Tori Knox, Julie Bockhorst), Keratin Complex (Kristen Grzegorczyk) and Brazilian Blowout (Ashleigh Maki).
Waxing — brow (eyebrow), lip and chin waxing, offered by most of our stylists.
