Petra de Salon & Spa is a Black-owned full-service salon, spa, and beauty destination at 3401 Main Street in midtown Kansas City, founded in 2015 by beauty professionals Sherrie and Martez Gardner after 21+ years in the industry — one of the most comprehensive independently owned beauty operations in the KC urban core.

Description

Petra de Salon & Spa is a full-service, Black-owned beauty destination at 3401 Main Street in Kansas City, Missouri, operated by Sherrie and Martez Gardner.¹² The Gardners are experienced stylists and beauty technicians with over 21 years in the industry, and their vision when founding Petra de Salon was to create a single location that could offer “almost every type of salon service.”² That vision has been realized: the shop’s service menu is one of the most expansive found in an independently owned KC salon, encompassing natural hair services, color, keratin treatments, cuts, weaves, braids, locs, crochet braids, and relaxers; eyelash extensions (Novalash); nail services (acrylic, gel, chrome, brow tinting); waxing; makeup artistry; facials; therapeutic, hot stone, medical, and sports massage; henna tattoos; and event photography and party packages.¹²

The salon is located on Main Street in midtown Kansas City, a corridor that has seen significant streetcar-related disruption and construction activity, positioning Petra de Salon as part of the residential-commercial fabric of the 39th Street–area midtown corridor.³ The Main Street location also places the business directly on the KC Streetcar expansion route, a practical note for visitors. Petra de Salon operates under the “TEZ GARDNER” brand identity for some services, reflecting Martez Gardner’s individual stylist reputation within the shop.¹
