    Amanda was amazing! She took time to listen to me and made me feel comfortable. This was my first time in and I wanted to pamper myself. I got the head spa service and treatment and it was incredibly relaxing. I will absolutely be coming back to see her. Update: I was initially put off by them not having a way to reach anyone in the salon and the concierge number was no help. HOWEVER, when I emailed about my concerns I received a quick reply. I have a weird "shelf" thing that my hair does and Amanda let me come back to get it "fixed". She genuinely wanted me to love my hair and after the fix I absolutely do! Not only is my shelf gone but my curls seem to have come back from the dead. Will definitely go back to see Amanda again!

    If you're looking for the Michelangelo of hair styling, Tyler is your artist! Words alone can't do justice to his expertise, so here's a picture to show you what a masterpiece looks like in Tyler's hands. Every time I sit in his chair, I know I'm about to walk out looking (and feeling) my absolute best. His eye for detail and ability to create a style that truly matches my personality and vision is unparalleled. It's as if he reads my mind and knows exactly what I need. I leave with hair that's not only stunning but feels easy to style day-to-day, which is such a rare find! If you're looking to elevate your look, Tyler is the one to see. ‍ Prepare for the compliments to roll in!

    First time coming to a new salon after my current hair stylist retired. I'm so glad I stumbled across root salon, super cute inside and I love the service I received. Amanda was so sweet and welcoming and I left loving my hair. She was able to take me from dark brown to the light auburn color I wanted in one session.

    I CANT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT SHANE! Thank you for always coming through and making my hair amazing. Real MVP! Vibe of the salon is unmatched

    Tyler's hack job and gold highlights. I asked for cool highlights not warm.

    After waiting 3 years to get my hair done I finally decided to go to Tyler. He had great reviews and I felt confident that he could highlight and cut my fine hair. He was professional and acted like he knew what he was doing especially because since he said he had 17 years of experience. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. I asked for a full highlight and the back of my hair is DARK still. Like no highlights at the nape. That's not the bad part though, I did not want any length off the front of my hair since it's very fine. It was passed my shoulders in the back and sat on my collar bone in the front. Tyler proceeded to cut all my hair off and then didn't know what to do. He ended up not finishing my haircut and I had to wait for someone else to finish my haircut. That was even worse! I asked if I could just be done because the haircut was a disaster and he was hacking my hair in the back. I'm devastated they still charged me $223 for the service for such a horrific experience and outcome and I still tipped on that. The next day I had to pay someone else to fix my hair so I could look presentable. I would never go back and I wish they would refund me money. No one should sit through 4+ hours to get a botched job done and then have to go somewhere else and pay to fix what you they messed up at a professional salon. I had to pay for my highlights to be toned again too since I left with gold hair. This review is not based on the salon at all but the 2 stylist who made my hair so ugly. Such an unfortunate experience. I'm hoping to hear from the owner to get this resolved.

    Here is a screenshot of the confirmation for my appointment.

    I have a special event and wanted to look my best. I called and booked an appointment with Jules on Saturday for the following Thursday. I received a confirmation text Saturday. I received another confirmation text on Wednesday which I again confirmed. I also called and spoke with the receptionist in person to confirm. Thursday morning, they sent me a text saying they had to cancel my appointment. I called and they said they had double booked. I explained this was for a special event and I had already confirmed with them 3 times. I requested to speak with a manager. The receptionist said the manager was not available. I am very disappointed by their unprofessional service. They could have had a new and loyal customer. I will be taking my business elsewhere.

    I saw TN I love my haircut…read more 2 weeks later and it looks amazing. I was a bit skeptical at first. I get nervous letting a just anyone touch my hair (he's not just anyone). I came in kinda looking like a drowned rat. Meaning, my hair was wet dark and limp. My hair had been growing out for too long without a trim. TN was focused, amicable, and attentive. He kept my layers, which a lot of places could mess up. He started to do face framing bangs and I was like No! I like to keep the front long. He did some anyway, where I needed it, and followed direction to stop when I said No. And it turned into these cute wings around my face. While there, I kept twisting it, trying to get it to do its usual flounce, but it wouldn't go. I'm from California. He said he was, too. I think the Arizona dry air was making my hair dull. He told me to style it, like with product. I don't know what I'm doing. I brought my Kerastase Gloss Absolute products, bc I'd followed the Sephora sample directions. We didn't shampoo, so maybe I should try that next time. But idk, the shampoo area was kinda dirty. The place could be cleaner. Meanwhile, I just kept trying putting oil on it to make my hair move. I left feeling satisfied. Then later- wow- it's a really great haircut. Except now, with this haircut, I don't have to do anything to my hair. It just comes out nice. Everything lays perfectly. It's sexy hair. TN styled it right. I'd say for anyone in Arizona to YouTube what to do with your hair in the desert. As soon as my hair hit some humidity it looked gorgeous with this cut. It was so reasonably priced compared to my stylist- I want to go back

    Lisa, Lisa, Lisa!…read more Y'all, if you're looking for an amazing stylist, look no further. I'm someone who has done a lot to my hair over the years. I previously owned a modeling agency, and we were constantly changing hair styles and working with some of the best stylists in the world. After moving to the Sedona area, I had three disappointing experiences in a row--honestly, some of the worst hair I've ever had. I finally decided to make the trip to Scottsdale, where I knew I could find someone who truly cared about their craft. After doing some research, I chose this salon and booked with Lisa. In just one appointment, she completely understood what I wanted and delivered it flawlessly. With over 20 years of experience, she made what seemed impossible look effortless. She not only got me back to where I wanted to be--she exceeded my expectations. What I appreciated most was that she listened. Really listened. Then she combined that understanding with incredible skill and precision. On top of that, she's an absolute delight to spend time with. If you've been struggling to find a stylist you trust, I know how stressful that can be. Great hair makes such a difference, and we all deserve exceptional service and results. Run, don't walk, and book with Lisa. You'll be so glad you did! xoxo

    Think twice before you go to this place! I honestly have…read morenever had an experience like this with a haircut, and I'm still incredibly frustrated and upset about it. I showed exactly what I wanted simple face framing and long layers but my hair was cut so unevenly that the layers didn't blend at all. There were random short pieces, completely different lengths, and the back was uneven and had no shape. It genuinely looked like a 5 year old had cut my hair, not a certified professional. Almost everyone who has seen my hair since has asked me the same thing: how could this possibly happen at a professional salon? Yes, I received a full refund, and I appreciate that. But I then had to go somewhere else to try to fix the damage. The second stylist had to take off even more hair, so I lost both the length AND the density of my hair just to make it look somewhat normal again. And even now, there is only so much that can be fixed. I have to wait for it to grow out. What frustrated me even more was how the situation was handled afterward. I asked the manager for their number because I genuinely wanted someone to explain to me HOW this happened. She never responded. I got my money back, but I felt absolutely no real empathy or understanding of what I was dealing with just scripted comments like I would be sad like you too and "Everybody loves this hairstylist. That completely misses the point. This is MY hair. I can't undo what was done. Giving me my money back doesn't give me back the length and density I lost or change how awful I feel every time I look at my hair. I wasn't looking for drama or anything extra from them. I just wanted someone to actually acknowledge how badly this went, take it seriously, and explain how something like this could happen with a professional stylist. I never got that.

    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.

I live like five minutes down the street, so it's very convenient for me, but not convenient when I have to go back a second time every single time lately in order for the stylist to get the look right. I work in the medical field, so obviously, I know nothing about hair! They ended up charging me $510 the past four weeks to get my 14 year old daughter's hair done correctly when they should've charged me 250 or $300 to get it right the first time! She sat in that chair for three something hours and then had to come back and sit in the chair for another three something hours, which was a total and complete pain in the ass for both her and I! I also had a horrible experience with that place recently... My stylist is the sweetest person ever, but she doesn't have a clue what she's doing! My hair looks like fucking shit, I had to bust my way through two managers only to be told to leave because "I was never going to be happy". . My hair looks like shit right now, so now I need to go somewhere else and pay another $3-$500 to get it fixed. I will never be taking my business to Roway Hair ever again! One time when I left that place about three years ago, I left there looking like Tony the Tiger!! Literally had strips of white hair, strips of black hair and orange hair! The stylist completely fucked my hair up, so the manager ended up having to correct it for free a week or two later. Done with this place! Does the pictures look like I just paid $180 (because I didn't get a haircut or even make her dry my hair all the way for me??)?
