I've been going to Lily for years and truly can't recommend her enough (in fact, several friends and family members come to Golden Roots now, too!). She is always on time, professional, and consistently does an amazing job with my hair. I never leave disappointed- she really listens and delivers exactly what I'm hoping for (sometimes even better!). The salon itself has such a great environment and ambiance- it's welcoming, relaxing, and just feels good to be in. It's one of those places where you actually look forward to your appointment. One of my favorite parts is when their resident mascot, Champ (the most well behaved service and therapy dog you'll ever meet), greets me!! If you're looking for someone talented, reliable, and genuinely enjoyable to be around, she's your person. I'm so grateful I found her! read more

I always love my color and treatments! The stylists pay great attention to detail and I get exactly what I want every time. And Champ is the sweetest dog ever, he should be the Mayor of Golden! read more

I love this salon! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. I have been seeing Lillie for a while now, and love her work! She's very talented and very accommodating if I need to reschedule an appointment. I love her sweet therapy dog, Champ, who brings a smile to everyone's face in the salon. Not only does this salon do a great job, the environment is so relaxing and friendly. I highly recommend this place! read more

My maid of honor and I came here before my rehearsal dinner for my wedding and let me tell you - these are the ladies (and the dog) you want to hang with. I fully trusted them to make me look good, just told them what I was there for, and they nailed it. My hair looked Hollywood glamour without going overboard which is exactly what I wanted. My curls held all night (from 5-11 pm) and looked gorgeous even in a windy night in Golden. Would recommend to everyone! read more

Jessica has been doing an awesome job on my cut and color for over 10 years - I HIGHLY recommend her! She is funny, kind, professional and has a true talent for color! Champ the pooch is so sweet and mellow - I have never even heard him make a sound much less bark! Everyone who works there is very friendly including Champ! read more

I can't say enough good things about this salon and Ali. The service is top-notch, and the vibe is so welcoming. After years of driving to Denver for overpriced haircuts, I was thrilled to find this gem in Golden. The quality of the cuts and color is just as fantastic, but at a much more reasonable price. Plus, you can't beat the charming atmosphere! And let's not forget about Champ, the adorable golden (support dog) who greets you at the door. I look forward to seeing him and my stylist. Highly recommend this place read more

I had setup an appointment for a root coloring about 5 days in advance at Golden Roots Salon in downtown Golden, CO. When arriving at the salon, they were just starting the day, however, I believe it was the owner, brought her golden lab into the salon. Since their site did not state they had a dog, I would have not scheduled an appt since not only being allergic, I do not want to spend $100 to have someone's dog pestering me for a pat. I ask if she could keep the dog away from me, however, that really did not happen which tells me, there was no consideration for the customer. This was suppose to be a relaxing, enjoyable time but instead was a stressful, disrespectful time. I cancelled my appointment, and will never go to this salon again, and will not recommend it to others. I wish dog owners would realize, not everyone wants to be around their pets! read more

Jessie has been doing my daughter's and my hair for over 9 years now (not just at GRS). My daughter has thick, long hair and she gets a cut. I have thinner, fine hair and get color and a cut. Jessie does an amazing job for both of us. She is a great listener and offers suggestions as needed. I also love the salon. It has a calm environment, beautiful look and feel and I love coming to Golden. read more

My hair was spectacular at the end of my appointment. They were able to fit my friend in at the last minute for a wedding do and makeup. Very impressed with their professionalism. read more

Golden Roots Salon - Our hair do's - Hair Salons Near Me - Golden, Colorado

Best hair salon I've gone to so far! The girls are very friendly and the vibe is great! Jessica did an awesome job on my hair definitely recommend this place and will be back 10 for me! read more

Horrible experience today! I must start off saying that we've been going to this salon for over 3 years and never had an issue with me or my kids. My kids (both under 6) have knots. The ladies there used to be super nice and patient in taking out the knots. As one of my children was having their hair brushed, I heard the lady say that she had a tough head as she would be crying, might have been power of suggestion but my daughter started to cry shortly after. They were doing great and everything they could to finish. As I was holding my daughter's hand one of the ladies there pulled me aside and said, in front of my other child, that it's her professional responsibility that I take out the knots and bring them back later for a haircut. She was very rude stating that they don't have the time to take all the knots out in the 30 min booking. However, they were almost done with my daughter and since we were early our booking hadn't even started yet. Another associate said I can ask for a longer booking next time but I did let her know that as they are asking me to leave my bookings hadn't started yet. I took my daughter with her hair not finished, paid and left. If anyone knows of a better salon for brushing out kids with tangles, please let me know. They seem to not want to do hair for kids and have lost a repeat customer. For adult hair they are very overpriced but since they were nice, I didn't mind paying extra. Too bad and I don't recommend this over priced salon. read more

While on vacation here in Golden, I was able to get in with Alexa for a color and cut. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. She listened to what I requested and helped me achieve my personal goal of an overall refresh of my look! Everyone on staff was friendly and I witnessed them offer to help each other. Overall the vibe was relaxing, I would highly recommend! read more

I used Golden Roots for my wedding hair/makeup and for my bridal party and mother. Myself, my bridesmaids and my mom were extremely disappointed in how their hair turned out for my big day and as I flip through my wedding photos it is not apparent that anyone's hair was professionally done. A week or so before my wedding the owner of the salon called and we talked about my expectations for my wedding day. I told her that everyone in my bridal party had fine hair, myself included, and I was concerned about our hair holding and looking good for photos, etc. She assured me that they only use professional products and that we could head bang and our hair would hold. Coming into Colorado from San Diego for my wedding, I knew the weather had rain in the forecast and once again she put my mind at ease saying our hair would hold even if there was a little rain. Unfortunately, she was incredibly wrong and my bridesmaids hair didn't even hold long enough to get through our photos of us getting ready. As I look through my pictures, one of my sister's curls had fallen out within 1-2 hours of getting her hair curled, my other sister had to have them re-due her hair and put it in an up-due because her hair wouldn't hold either. My best friend had to go to her hotel room after the ceremony to re-curl her hair before the reception. The only highlight from using Golden Roots was that I was extremely happy with my hair. Despite the use of 50 or more bobby pins and loosing a chunk of hair when I took them all out after the reception. I just wish that the majority of the $600+ I spent that day wasn't an absolute waste. read more

Golden Roots Salon - This was taken 1 hour after everyone's hair was completed and you cannot tell any of my bridesmaids had their hair professionally done. - Hair Salons Near Me - Golden, Colorado

I had the best experience at Golden Roots. My wedding was on September 12th,2020. Lily and Mary Kate were fantastic, fun, professional and beyond talented. Lily styled my mom, sister, sister-in-law and me, the bride. MaryKate made are faces more beautiful than what they already are and we looked flawless. Thank you for making my day special. I felt beautiful and confident. My mom, has never had her makeup done and she loved it! And she is picky. Christiana colors my hair on a regular basis and I am so happy every time I see her and walk out of Golden Roots! read more

I hired Golden roots for mine, 4 bridesmaids, 2 mothers and my special needs sister in law and they did an amazing job with our hair and makeup. It was the natural...just enhanced look we all wanted. My sister in law felt and looked like a princess which was the most important! I would go back if I have an event I need my make up and hair done for! read more

I booked hair and make-up for my bridal party, we were a small group of 5 including me and they came to my room at Table Mountain Inn to make the process so easy for us.

Liv is ABSOLUTELY the BEST and my most favorite hair stylist ever!!! This girl kills it every time! Liv has brought my hair back to life! I told her I wanted to go back to my natural color since I killed my ends by going blonde. Other hair stylist told me that it was going to be such a long process, not to Liv, she executed the color, cut, and style in every way possible!! read more

I went in for a trim, I have short hair, and I came out with a haircut so short, I thought for sure the marines were going to recruit me. I cried. This has never happened to me so I called and told them why I was upset. They were very understanding and refunded my haircut (minus the tip, which is fine, the lady who cut my hair was very nice, but did not follow my instructions of what I wanted). Most hair salons would not be so professional, so I was impressed by that, just be sure to remind your hair artist what you want and watch closely as they cut. read more

I went to GRS after a referral from my wedding planner for wedding and makeup trial several months back (6/2020) and arrived 10 minutes late to the appointment after getting lost. Very cute little salon in general and we were obviously super excited to see what our wedding look may be. Was treated absolutely horribly by the owner the moment we walked into the salon, for being late. My mother who had flown in from Iowa for the trial was pushed aside and treated extremely rude. We were so blown away by the absolute disrespect, but stayed for the trial as we had 2 weeks until our wedding day and were unsure we would have time to find a replacement. Being a doctor as a profession, I would never treat someone so inappropriately for being late for an appointment or really any other reason. Would not recommend. We were able to find another makeup artist in time and went in another direction. read more

I think I just found my new favorite hair salon! I specifically booked with Liv based on all the great reviews others had written about her. And she didn't disappoint! I came in with great trepidation that I would leave yet again with another hair cut I hated and never go back and only because that was the case with the last 2 salons I visited and I hadn't had a hair cut in over 8 months because of those places. Liv was Amazing!! She looked at my hair and the pictures I showed her and actually Talked about how she was going to cut my hair based on its type and why she was cutting it that way. It was very different from any way I've ever had someone cut my hair but it made sense! I have a lot of hair that's thick and is naturally wavy but she knew just how to cut it!! She also provides a business card with her cell # so if you have any questions at all she will text or call you back with help! I can't wait to go back, especially knowing I'll leave exceptionally happy and feeling great about myself! Thanks Liv! read more

Golden Roots is exactly what Golden, CO needed! I've been going to Lillie for years and love her work every time! She does it all and will always recommend something beautiful and flattering if you're not completely sure what you want! Mary Kate has done my eyebrows and lip waxing and it's always been perfect. She also gives before and after care that prohibits break- outs which is SO helpful with my sensitive skin. All the staff is so friendly and talented! The salon itself is so adorable and comfortable! I'd give them 6 stars if I could! And beer or wine while you get your beauty services... what's better? read more

Golden Roots Salon - A balayage and cut by Lillie! - Hair Salons Near Me - Golden, Colorado

Lillie knocked my socks off today. I sent her a picture of what I wanted for my balayage and described how I wanted my hair trimmed and layered, but didn't want to lose length. She nailed every aspect of what I wanted. She listened to me, asked questions, and took her time to make sure I was happy. She was a pleasure to chat with, and it is obvious that she is passionate and knowledgable about her profession. The salon is adorable, well-located, and fairly priced. Today Lillie earned a permanent customer, and I look forward to my next visit to Golden Roots! Thank you for your EXCELLENT customer service, Lillie!! read more

I have been to Golden Roots salon half a dozen times between myself and my 3 year-old son. I'm not ashamed to say I'm picky about where I spend my money- I want my hair to look great but I also want to support a small business and have a great experience. I've had the pleasure of sitting in Lillie's, Christiana's, and most recently Liv's chair and each time I have received both exquisite service and walked out feeling amazing. Their customer service is extraordinary-- I always feel so welcomed and listened to to ensure I get exactly what I want even if I'm not sure how to explain it. They're all so talented even with an ever-changing schedule I can know I'm in good hands if I have to reschedule and see any of the girls there. They really have such a great environment that feels like family- and if I'm going to spend a few hours every few weeks somewhere, I'm happy to have a glass of wine and some great conversation to go with it. Great prices, great service, and an incredible team of talented and passionate women. You can't go wrong with this gem!! read more

I usually only get my hair cut once a year or less because I don't like going to the salon - it never seems to come out right and I end up stop trying to explain what I want or hearing that the girl in the picture only has that hair because she has an expensive stylist and extension, so I normally end up going home and fixing it... but man, I really enjoyed my experience at golden roots with Alex! I only showed her a picture, and told her briefly what I was looking for and she seemed to just know exactly what I wanted and did it. I was really nervous going in because I was chopping all of my hair off, but felt way less nervous almost immediately after sitting down and am super happy with the cut! Also, it's so awesome that they offer free bang trims! Keep up the good work guys! :) read more

Congrats to all of the fabulous women of Golden Roots Salon on their 1 year anniversary! What a fantastic place this is! The atmosphere and positive energy hits you the minute you enter. I've known most of these ladies for about 3-5 years and it's so great to see them so happy and successful. No matter what your beauty needs might be, Gold Roots has you covered!

I would recommend Liv to anyone and everyone!! Liv is absolutely exceptional! I am from New York City, have lived here for 5 years and haven't been able to find a stylist up to par. Found my stylist!! Randomly came across this lovely salon, the owners are so friendly and it is a great atmosphere. I can come read my paper, get my hair color and cut done to perfection and enjoy some great conversation with Liv. read more

My hair cut and blow dry was great. The concern I have is the lack of concern for protecting clients from possible COVID contact. No masks or concerns for their customers whether vacillated or not. read more

I had a great experience with Alexandra! After two bad previous experiences at other salons, my hair became a brassy mix of different colors. I told Alex that my goal was to lighten my hair and to get rid of the brassiness. She took care of everything! Alex took 3 hours out of her day to work with me - making sure everything looked precise and great. I love the shape and color of my hair! I have another appointment in 3 months with Alex for partial highlights. Thanks again! NOTE: My hair is naturally curly, but I did straighten it ahead of time for the appointment. It made the job easier for putting in highlights. read more

This salon is a treasure! The decor, ambiance, and people make this place such a pleasurable and relaxing experience--not what I expected for just getting a haircut, but a nice surprise. I typically go to cheap salons, but I saw this place and thought I'd give it a try. You cannot beat the value for the quality, genuine customer service, and pleasant experience. I've never enjoyed talking to my stylist and getting my haircut more! Lillie gave me a cut and style. I really appreciate and look for hair stylists that give their input and creativity to create a beautiful hair cut for your face. I walked in not knowing what I wanted other than a fix for my outgrown style, and she gave me such a beautiful cut. She also showed me how to achieve the style I want and made it so that I could easily re-create it on my own, without having to buy a million products. I have to say this was probably the best styling experience I have ever had let alone in a beautiful salon for a very reasonable price. They also give discounts to Mines students and trim bands for cheap. I will most definitely be back! read more

This place is fabulous. We were visiting from out of town and called 1 day prior. My husband and I both got an appointment together at the same time. Newer space with about 4 chairs in operation. Reasonable rates. We both had cuts and are in love. We will be back when we are in the area. read more

I was charged a $112 deposit that was not applied to my service. When I questioned it they gave me a runaround but not a refund. Partial highlights with toner came to almost $400. I've been getting my hair done the same at a higher end salon in Boulder for far less. Add to the experience that my stylist was sure to let me know she's religious and Christian music was playing the entire time. Very off-putting experience all around. read more

Lillie and Alex always do the best jobs with my highlights. The color and cut are perfect every time, and they also do a great job at Keratin treatments. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming; I always look forward to my appointments there. This is 100% the best salon in the Golden area. read more

My haircut was just fine, but despite the mask mandate being reinstated, nobody was wearing a mask in here (no customers or employees). It was definitely uncomfortable with Omicron on the rise... read more

I love coming here to get my hair down. It's a modern and comfortable environment with only 4 chairs, Sonora never chaotic. I love that they have a sweet resident dog that is here most of the time. Liv is my stylist and I always love how my hair turns out and I really enjoy her company. If you need a glass of wine and come pampering, come check it out. Oh and they do some really fun things with hair color and eyelashes. My little retreat. read more

The salon is adorable and classy with beverages to offer during the cut. read more
