A Letter from Our Founder

Hey Babe,

When I opened the doors to Cheeky Strut in 2009, I dreamed of creating more than just a salon—I wanted to build a space where creativity thrives, confidence soars, and every client feels seen, heard, and completely taken care of. Located in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids, our salon has been a place of transformation, artistry, and connection since 2009.

Cheeky Strut is brought to life by the incredible talent of our stylists—the artists who craft and create within these walls. We believe in delivering not just beautiful hair, but an unforgettable experience, where every detail matters. From the moment you step through our doors, our team is here to make sure you leave feeling refreshed, empowered, and undeniably you.

We take pride in offering luxury services, premium haircare, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere where our clients and stylists alike can grow and thrive. Whether you're here for a bold transformation, seamless extensions, or a subtle refresh, we are honored that you trust us with your hair.

It’s the little things that make all the difference, and we don’t take that for granted. Thank you for being part of the Cheeky Strut family—we can’t wait to continue this journey with you.

With love & great hair,
Kaite Lyn Christofferson
Founder & Owner, Cheeky Strut

Come for the hair,  stay for the vibes!
