I've been going to Northern Roots Salon since they first opened, and I've been a loyal client of Danielle for over a decade... so yes, this review is LONG overdue. Let's start with: I actually look forward to my appointments here. Between a demanding work schedule and nonstop days, Northern Roots feels like a mini escape. The vibe is fun, welcoming, and genuinely uplifting... not the kind of place where you're just another appointment on the books. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by Gale, the salon manager and unofficial "big sis" of the place. She's warm, nurturing, and always makes sure you're taken care of... refreshments, snacks, good energy, all of it. You instantly feel at home. And can we talk about the extras? A blowout or head massage from DJ is borderline heavenly. Trust me, just say YES! The team dynamic here is also something special. Nicole and Kylie are always around if you want a second opinion. They'll either hype you into your next look or lovingly talk you out of something you might regret later (and honestly, I need that energy in my life). Their creativity and honesty are gold. And then there's Danielle... where do I even begin. I truly cannot rave about her enough. I've never seen her in a bad mood. She's always energetic, positive, and genuinely happy to see you. Beyond her talent, what sets her apart is how accommodating she is. My schedule can be chaotic, and she has been nothing but flexible and gracious, even staying late or adjusting when I've had last-minute changes. Not once has she been anything less than professional and kind. She also keeps it real... which I appreciate more than anything. She'll absolutely talk me out of a bad idea ("should I get bangs?" hmmmm) and guide me toward what actually fits me and my lifestyle. Half the time, she knows what I need before I do. Overall, Northern Roots is more than just a salon, it's an experience. You feel comfortable, taken care of, and honestly a little spoiled every time you walk in. Only downside? Parking can get a bit hectic during peak times (hello, downtown Danville). Pro tip: circle around and park in the back. If you're looking for a place with talent, heart, and a team that truly cares... this is it! read more

Northern Roots has been a game changer for me, especially as a working mom. I've been meaning to write this review for a while, but you know, mom life?! 1. Danielle does an absolutely beautiful job with my hair. Since I cannot get my hair done as frequently as I would like to, she root taps me as a blonde! This has helped so much because as my hair grows out my hair looks blended instead of a hard root line. 2. I don't know about you, but I love getting my hair washed. Danielle does an amazing job. It feels like being at one of those hair washing spa. Omg, and their shampoo & conditioner smell heavenly. I try to go as long as possible after my appointment to not wash it! I've had other stylists there also wash my hair, like DJ...equally awesome job! Sometimes I wish I could go every day just for the neck massage. I never leave without a beautiful washed head of hair! 3. The atmosphere and vibe are part of why I chose this salon. Not only do they have snacks, but they also have a selection of drinks and a nespresso! It is a very fun salon...there's always laughter and conversation. Not only is it fun, but it's professional. 4. Everyone who works there is so friendly and personal. I also feel that they are very knowledgeable about hair and products. They give you tips and tricks, their favorite products, and a warm smile as you walk in. Shout out to Gayle for always greeting me and checking me out at the end of my appointment. The other stylist; Kyleigh, Nicole, and DJ, are the most friendly and will always ask you how you are. Instead of feeling like 'just another client', you really feel like they know you and want to make you feel like your most beautiful self! Quality service + quality people!!! Sign me up! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Northern Roots. The staff is so kind and they always create a welcoming environment for all. They've also been extremely accommodating of my busy and often changing work schedule. I often book months in advance and have to shift due to last minute work obligations. Even though it's my fault, and even though they are booked well in advanced, they are generous to find time to squeeze me in. I cherish my salon days at Northern Roots, not only for the top-notch hair cut I walk away with, but for the fun, relaxed space that makes it feel like true me time. Would highly recommend, and all their stylists do great work. read more

I've been going to Northern Roots for twenty years. Yes, twenty years. They are ALWAYS kind, fun and my hair never misses. In all those years I've never had an admin issue or a hair issue. They are the best. Period. Dot. read more

I have been going to Northern Roots salon for years, and absolutely love everything about this place! Not only have they always given me the style and color I was hoping for, but the vibes are everything you would hope for - welcoming, fun, and respectful. I can't recommend this salon enough whether you're looking to try something new with your hair or finding your new forever stylist! So much love for the Northern Roots salon book and you won't regret it! read more

I recently parted ways with Northern Roots after many years. This salon is not a good fit for working moms with busy schedules. It was constant rescheduling, admin errors, being asked to come earlier for appts when they were scheduled months in advance. They also do not apologize and make it the clients' fault for getting upset by these last minute changes which is unacceptable. The icing on the cake was the last few times I was told they would not have time to blow dry and would leave my long hair wet. A blow dry is a part of the service you pay for so this was quite shocking and disappointing. There are many salons in Danville that are a great alternative with staff that respects their clients' time, not just the hairdressers. Also, that are more spacious and not nearly as loud as Northern Roots' tiny salon with little to no parking. I should have changed years ago. Highly recommend other great salons in Danville for working moms!! read more

What a lovely and welcoming space. Super clean, bright, chill vibe, and an adorable little dog too. Came here based on the rec of a friend, and so glad I did. Danielle listened to what I wanted (and didn't want) and gave me a great cut that checked all the boxes. I walked out of there feeling amazing with tips to keep my hair looking polished with minimal effort. Very affordable & no bs about consultations and pre-appointments that only alter your bank balance. Love this place! Already booked my next appt. read more

If you're looking for an adorable salon filled with good energy and kind people, this is your place. I just had an appointment with Kyleigh and walked out with a huge smile, loving my much needed new do. From scheduling, to checking in, getting my hair done, and paying, the whole experience was easy. There is ample street parking, which is a huge bonus. Kyleigh did a fantastic job listening and advising, and I walked out afterwards absolutely LOVING my hair. The whole salon has a very warm, cohesive vibe too and while it is a beautiful salon, it isn't stuffy or pretentious. They've done an amazing job creating a welcoming and cozy environment. read more

My daughter highlights are reminiscent of the 90's 2000's. They turned out yellow and not well blended I asked if she could tone them again and she wants to charge $50 more to fix them. We've already paid 250 plus. That's ridiculous read more

After roughly 7 years of trying to find the right stylist for me in our new(ish) home state, a friend recommended Danielle at Northern Roots (this friend has gorgeous hair, always) and, while it's a bit of a drive, I thought I'd give her a call to make an appointment. Loved her from the second I met her. She totally got all of my concerns, made recommendations that were perfect for me and she is absolutely darling and kind. My hair hasn't looked this good in years and I get compliments all the time now. I have young kids and good hair days can go a long way when you're just trying to keep up, and Danielle has helped me find good days again! The whole shop is wonderful. It's the cutest store front in downtown Danville, it's warm and inviting inside. Everyone who works there is lovely and fun. I always look forward to my appointments and can't recommend Northern Roots enough. They are wonderful! read more

I am a huge fan. Have been getting my haircut here for too many years to admit probably and always come away with amazing cuts and color. I've seen Nicole and Kyleigh before and both make my hair dreams come true. Even though I've been coming here for years, I always feel like the style looks fresh. Sometimes stylists get in a rut and just keep following their old work but not here - the gang is always up for trying new cuts and new color techniques! They've seen me through long, short, dark, blond balayage, beautiful thick pregnancy locks, and also hairpost-partum hair loss, etc etc. The new salon is super cute and cozy, a black and white boho dream come true. Grab it if you can get an appointment here! They're a fun family that welcomes you with open arms read more

Love love love my extensions!! Feeling like a brand new woman! I loved the entire vibe of the salon. The staff is friendly, hard working and funny!! I'd highly recommend if you want a salon that makes you feel like a million bucks with a laugh! read more
