A hair salon on San Carlos Park’s doorstep
Gulf Coast Town Center sits right beside San Carlos Park — for most of the neighborhood we’re closer than the supermarket. An unhurried, high-end salon, a five-minute drive away.
Reviewed August 2026
Five minutes, door to door
Straight up Three Oaks Parkway or US-41 and you’re here, with free parking at the door. Close enough for a lunchtime gloss, a blow-out before dinner, or a standing appointment that never feels like a journey.
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 San Carlos Park
Gulf Coast Town Center sits at the I-75 Alico Road exit, on San Carlos Park's eastern edge. From most of the neighborhood the simplest run is straight along Three Oaks Parkway or US-41 to Alico Road, then east toward the interstate — the Town Center is on your right before you reach it, with FGCU just a few minutes further along Ben Hill Griffin Parkway. Depending on where in San Carlos Park you start, plan on about 5–15 minutes, with free parking a few steps from our door at suite F135.
Ten minutes, most of it main road
San Carlos Park backs directly onto the Alico Road interchange, so every route here is short. Which one you take depends only on whether you are nearer Three Oaks Parkway, US-41 or the university.
The Three Oaks side
Three Oaks Parkway north to Alico Road, then east — Gulf Coast Town Center is on your right before you reach the interstate. Five to ten minutes, and you never touch I-75.
The US-41 corridor
Straight up US-41 to Alico Road and east. About ten minutes from most addresses on the western side of the neighborhood, all of it on main roads.
The Sunshine Boulevard streets
Out to either Three Oaks Parkway or US-41, whichever you are nearer, then north to Alico. Ten minutes or so from the middle of San Carlos Park.
Near FGCU
Ben Hill Griffin Parkway north to Alico Road puts you at the Town Center in under ten minutes — the shortest run of anywhere we serve, and the reason we see a lot of students and staff.

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. Being this close changes what is practical: a standing gloss or blow-out stops feeling like a trip, and longer work like hand-matched extensions or color correction is easy to split across visits.

How close is Canterbury & Co. to San Carlos Park?
Gulf Coast Town Center sits at the Alico Road interchange on San Carlos Park’s eastern edge. From most of the neighborhood it is a five to fifteen minute drive, and for many streets we are closer than the supermarket.
Can I come in on a lunch break?
For a gloss, a blow-out or a fringe trim, comfortably. Color and extensions need longer, and your stylist will tell you honestly at the consultation how much time to set aside rather than rushing the result.
Do you take walk-ins from the neighborhood?
We welcome walk-ins when there is space, but booking online guarantees your time and your stylist. Being nearby makes it easy to take a cancellation slot at short notice, so it is worth asking.
Is parking easy at Gulf Coast Town Center?
Yes. Parking is free throughout the center and you can usually park within a few steps of suite F135.
