    Long hair blow out with curls. - A woman with long, dark, curly hair stands outdoors with her back to the camera, next to a green wall and leafy plants.

    I came to root bar for a blow out for a wedding I was officiating. I think her name is Naomi was my stylist. She was chatty but not over the top, friendly, professional and sweet. She asked me questions about the tone of my event and how my long hair does with curls etc. She did a wonderful job and I most definitely will be back. I highly recommend.

    I've been to this color bar a few times, the first was to go back to my natural color from having blonde for several years. I saw Tori most times. She originally took my color way too dark (see attached photo), it was not color matched properly. When I went back for a consultation about bringing up the color so that my regrowth wasn't harsh, the lady said that my original color was not done properly as she didn't even "fill" my blonde color. The lady that gave me this advice is no longer there and actually moved salons, we did not do anything that day because she advised me that I would most likely require an entire color correction unless I let my hair grown out and balanced to color from there. Flash forward to about 3 weeks ago, I went to see them again and was placed with the lady that originally took me too dark. I requested her to just blend my roots in with an all over color because I had some bands in my hair. I even acknowledged that it is OKAY if my bands are still showing, that I do not want a darker color just to cover the imperfections. She then took my hair even darker than it has ever been. I called the following day*** and calmly explained why I was unhappy, asking for suggestions on how to remove this. I was told that they would get back to me on a way they could fix the mishap since it was a staff error in color matching. When I was reached back out to by a manager, Katie. She said she was going to seek out the color remover and would contact me that Monday. It was in this same phone call that she confided that the staff I had been seeing has had previous color matching challenges, keep that in mind. The following Monday, I didn't get a call as promised as a matter of fact I never got a call. I called them a week and a half after they had verbally said they would call me and a man answered, he put me on hold, came back on the line and said "I want to reiterate that we do not usually do this service here, we are doing this as a courtesy." I agreed because this was what I understood about my situation already, that it was an error and mistake on their end so they were responsible for mending the issue. He booked me in, I came in, saw Katie who was color removing me that day and was the one who agreed to take on the service. The service itself was pleasant, the staff is great and was kind in person. After my service though, she requested $100 for the service that was supposed to be "complimentary" because of one of their*** staff errors, not an error on my end. I was not prepared to pay this and I am extremely disappointed in not only the communication but also the integrity among the staff. I believe this is a disappointing way to conduct business given a.) this was a staff error, so a color remover should not be charged, b.) I was told from their own management that this staff had previous color matching issues and c.) they requested a payment of $100, because it was a "color correction" service, which it is not. It is a color remover/wash service. I will unfortunately not feel comfortable coming here again and I don't expect to get a refund for what I was able to "pay" which I should never had to front in the first place. I will update this post if anything gets resolved. I've attached a photo of the stark difference you can see in the color matching. This was my regrowth before coming in my last time to show how poorly color matched this was in the first place. Maybe it's my bad for ever coming back...

    Before: pumpkin explosion hair
    Annalisa E.

    I moved to Phoenix from NYC. I'm really particular and weary of colorists since I'm Asian ( been through so many disappointments and waste of money) and it is very hard to find someone who understands this type of hair and colors to match my skin tone. I miss my fabulous colorist at Warren Tricomi at The Plaza. She was the only person who always made my hair look natural and amazing. It was a sad day when I had to say good bye. After a few bad experiences here in Phoenix with other colorists which left my hair brassy & looking like a pumpkin explosion....I'm happy to share that I found my new hair home!! Yesterday I booked with Katie a root to tip, gloss and blowout service . To be honest I was apprehensive trying a new place. But as soon as I walked in Root bar, I felt really welcomed by (I'm sorry I forgot your name! ) a beautiful lady (she was so nice and informative) and chic decor made me have a little more confidence in the salon. Let's talk about my beautiful luscious "new" hair! Immediately upon meeting Katie - well...I felt like I was meeting up with a good friend! I didn't quite know what I wanted and after the consult - she somehow knew exactly what I wanted and needed! My hair never felt softer, shinier and beautiful! I think I thanked her a gazillion times, saying she gave me brand new hair lol and was totally blown away and HAPPY with every service I received. If you need a colorist who makes miracles happen make an appt with Katie! They are currently running a Valentine's Day special which ends soon... $140 (not sure on exact price) I think for either 4 blowouts or 4 root SO worth it. I bought a package before my appointment but in my excitement after seeing my hair I forgot to buy another one and will be doing that right after my review! Thank you Root bar for being my new hair home.

    What brand of coloring this place uses? I'd love to give them a try, but I only color my hair with Goldwell and wonder if they have it

I did a color consultation to confirm the stylist could bring my hair back to the original copper tone I had gotten in April 2025 and booked less than a month later. I needed my hair done for graduation pictures and was nervous about having a different stylist complete my service this time. Thankfully, Tori was on time, patient, friendly, and confident she could get it right and she did! I absolutely love my hair and their prices are very affordable (I'll take a $100+ full color that lasts over a year compared to cheap box dye that probably wouldn't have lasted me six months).

Three employees were sitting down chatting away while I waited for my appt. I went because i wanted to cut my hair into a long bob but my consultation specialist looked at my hair and said my hair was fried. There was nothing he could do, I was so confused. I said, I'm not here to dye my hair. I'm here for a haircut. He said, I know. You need keratin and once your hair gets healthy I could try. Out of curiosity I asked, if I get my hair back to "healthy " again. I asked who he would recommend and he said nobody here. I was shocked and to be honest, I was so over the consultation that I awkwardly laughed and promised him I'd be back. He could honestly care less. I wasn't too irritated because it smelled like hard boiled eggs or broccoli in there. Not to mention, The older woman at the front desk was hella grumpy as well. I figured, if I'm going to spend $3-400 somewhere... I'd rather not spend it there thank you Looking at there reviews.. maybe they just don't serve latinas. Idk. ‍

    I was recommended Thanh, a male barber at this salon, by my cousin who's been a loyal customer of…read morehis for YEARS! She texted him personally to make a Saturday afternoon appointment for me and sent pictures of the wolf-cut I desired. I arrived on time for my 2pm appointment and was greeted by Thanh and seated immediately. I showed him the pictures again. Then he asked me if I wanted to shampoo my hair, which I agreed to. Then we got straight to work. At the end of my cut, he made sure I liked the result, to which I asked for my bangs a bit shorted and he readily obliged. I paid $45 (excluding an additional tip) in cash, but I didn't inquire further if they also accept card or if there's an additional fee for paying by card. I looked around the salon for a menu of costs of services, which he said there wasn't one. No problem, I plan on coming back for haircuts only anyway which I know are $45! Otherwise, I'll text him personally asking for other services if I want them! All in all, I was in and out the door at 2:00 and 2:30 respectively, literally (I looked at the clock). I was so happy with my haircut, especially for the price AND quick in/out time. Thank you Thanh for your amazing work!!!

    Honestly very disappointed in my haircut. I was initially enticed by the $45 price but it felt…read moreextremely rushed, mediocre, and hardly like the inspo photos I showed the stylist. I would rather go a salon that actually cares about their customer service and attention to detail at a higher cost - you're getting what you pay for, if not less. Firstly, my stylist was on her phone for a full 4 minutes in the middle of my 18-minute (fast? or rushed?) haircut without explanation; I would be more understanding if I were given a heads up about a personal emergency or something, but to simply step away from your client and text nonstop at the front desk without saying anything, is unacceptable. Secondly, I've never been to a salon where my hair was not washed prior to it being cut; until I came here. My hair was not even styled at the end (see photo of when I got home right after my appointment). Thirdly, it's the bare minimum to ask your customer if they like their haircut, or smile at the end. When I was paying at the front desk kiosk, my stylist went straight back to texting with the click clack of her fake nails on the phone screen. I stood at the desk for a good minute or so after payment was completed before she looked up, and quickly said "bye thank you". There were no other customers in the store except for the nail artist and her client in the shared salon space. I would NOT recommend this salon to any of my friends and advise you to get your haircut elsewhere if you care about professional service and a good haircut.
