I was looking for a new hair stylist as I had become complacent with mine but was very tired of not getting what I was asking for. I feel like it is always hard to look for a new stylist because it can be hard to know where to start. Sometimes referrals from friends are great, but because the Charlotte area is large, the last thing I want is a commute for getting my hair done, that process always takes enough time! I went back to yelp again, and found Southern Roots. While they only had a few reviews, they were all great. I called in and Tiffany actually answered, but had to book me with Donna because of the day I was requesting. She was very kind in trying to set this up for me. When I went to Donna the first time, I asked for my usual cut, a little off the bottom and plenty off the layers, as I love to see my layers. I also asked for my hair color to pop. Unfortunately this is where things went wrong. Everyone can interpret their definitions differently, and my thought of pop was different than Donna's. That is my fault for not going further into likes/dislikes. My hair is naturally brown and she added in blonde highlights that were way too bright and blonde for me. I hated how I looked and hated the contrast. While I did receive compliments on my new look, I did not like the shade of blonde in my hair. However, I loved the cut. I finally received a cut that I had been asking for! As I stated before, I love to see my layers, so I always ask for much shorter layers, and for some reason, other hair stylists only seem to go about an inch above my longer length even though I always ask for much more. Since I got the cut and realized my communication was poor on my likes/dislikes and what I wanted out of color, I decided to go back. At the second appointment, I told Donna I hated the color from the first visit. She was very kind in taking my hatred and even suggested I should have come back, but I really just wanted to try to get used to it, maybe I would eventually like it. I found pictures off the internet of colors that I liked and had them saved for this second visit. I showed Donna a couple, and she picked right up on the colors! She added in some red to my brown while darkening up the blonde from the last visit. My color was spot on! And to me, adding in the red and darker blonde, was my pop. It looked great, along with the cut! I just went back this weekend for a third visit. I confirmed my love for the looks from the second visit and we updated the red and brown this time. After we finished with the cut/color, I pointed out what I loved so that she could make notes on what to do and how to update the different colors for next time. My hair is naturally curly, but I probably style my hair curly half the week and half the week I style it straight. I love that Donna is willing to take the time to style it straight so that I can see the layers and see the cut, that way I can ask for a little bit more if needed. I am happy to say and excited to say, I have found my new stylist! I think it is great someone is willing to listen to my critiques and wants me to be happy. While I can't say anything about Tiffany here, I can say Donna is great and I would recommend her easily! read more

Southern Roots Salon - Love the color!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

After this Covid-19 thing, I went to Tiffany for the first and last time. I shared I went through a color correction and I brought pictures of my hair before coloring and after beginning just less then a handful of years ago. I left cash and a tip on a hair color job that nearly three long weeks later is so much darker than I am comfortable with that I still can't believe what I see in the mirror. She missed the mark on me. I'm not playful with my hair color... I wasn't trying to play with it. I loved it - even in its faded, sad post crisis condition it was "my" color. What I have now is a deep dark strange head that even my young children still can't figure out. My eye brow pencil is too light for my new Tiffany given color. Be warned and fore-armed about paying cash for such services. Tiffany apologetically and frankly unapologetic business manner won't do anything for me to adjust or fix this color "because of my hair history." So now my budget is spent and there isn't anything that can be done... I still look like "crisis hell". ....I'm just sad, mad, and feel entirely unlike myself - - mismatched to this dark mop -- just ugly. read more

Southern Roots Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

I am new to the area and was looking for a new salon. I found Tiffany at Southern Roots and my experience has been great. She was able to accommodate my schedule and made me feel welcomed the second I walked through the doors. Even though I don't get my hair colored, I understand that it's her specialty. I have long, thick and curly/wavy hair and she did a great job at cutting and styling. I'm very happy with my cut and look forward to coming back. It also helps that Tiffany is a lot of fun, it's like hanging out with an old friend. Thanks Tiffany! read more

Since moving to Tega Cay five years ago, I searched and searched for a stylist. I am so happy I found Tiffany G. During her consultation, she took so much time asking me questions about what I liked, what I did not like about my hair., and what I ideally wanted and hoped for. She did an amazing job, and I can't imagine going anywhere else. I have been going almost 2 years and have NEVER been disappointed!! Sometimes stylists become complacent, but Tiffany asks questions and reassesses every time. Her attention to detail, her charismatic personality and her grasp of the science of her job makes her a true artist! 1000x recommend her! read more

I was so thrilled to find this great salon!! I was looking for a new stylist in the area so I went on Yelp and came upon this salon! I saw some of the photos of some beautiful bobs done by Tiffany, so I called her to see how long it would take to get an appointment. Tiffany called me later that evening and said she just so happened to have a cancellation the next morning! I could not have been more thrilled because I needed the works!! When I walked in the salon that morning and was happily greeted by Tiffany! As soon as we started talking, I felt like I had known her for years! So sweet, funny and pretty too! The more we talked the more excited I got at seeing the end result we had talked about!! She made me feel very sure she knew exactly what I wanted!! The end result was even better than I expected!! Tiffany did an amazing job and she has a client for as long as she is here in Charlotte which I hope is forever because I am here to stay! Thank you so much Tiffany!! read more

I am so happy I found this salon. I have ALOT of hair!!! It is very dry and unmanageable. My hair was really long and dead looking. I found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. Got my hair cut and dried with Tracy. She was amazing!! Not only did my hair come out looking great but she did it all in just a little over an hour (which with my super think hair is much faster than anyone has ever done) and it was not rushed either. (I usually take over an hour just to blow dry my hair). Thank you Tracy! I will surely be a regular customer. read more

I love Southern Roots Salon!!! I have been going to Donna Williams for 8 years and I love her. Her prices are very reasonable and she does a great job. I have her do my color and cuts. I'm very picky about which brand of hair color - I will only use Goldwell and that is what Donna uses. I highly recommend her and the salon. read more
