It was my first time at this salon and it did not disappoint. I saw Gabby with no real clue about what I wanted and she listened patiently and gave suggestions and gave me a really cute cut! I never like my haircuts but this one looks great. Highly recommend! read more

Tried out this salon while home for the holidays and cannot recommend. I had a lovely time and they were so nice I hate to leave a bad review, but I came home to a total nightmare. My hair is so chopped up and uneven it isn't even funny. I also wanted help growing in my natural dark color and am somehow back to a full head of blonde highlights. I was in town only for the holidays and now have to spend another fortune getting this mess fixed. Was hoping to grow my hair out a little for my wedding in 6 months but now have to cut it back short again read more

Roots And Branches Salon - Hair cut - Hair Salons Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Wonderful ambiance - very relaxin, friendly, professional. My stylist did a fantastic job; top of the line hair products.

I had gone here a few times, but recently received the worst haircut of my life at this salon. They barely paid attention to what I was asking for when I provided reference photos and detailed shots of what I was looking for. I thought to myself, "I'm sure she knows what she's doing and is actually listening, I must be imagining this." I wanted a tapered and highly feathered cut without losing much length of my past-shoulder length hair. I've had this haircut many times and it's quite simple with my long layers and length. The stylist cut off over 7+ inches. I was polite, tipped of course but left clearly unhappy with the result though realizing that haircuts are subjective. What upset me was that despite my clear dissatisfaction the stylist seemed in a hurry and did not offer to adjust the blunt styling to something more feathered, layered, etc. She had more of a, "Oh well, see ya never," aloof attitude. I actually reached out after the fact to see if she could fix it, she got back days later and seemed ultimately put out by the request. I was disappointed and stuck in a "bad haircut" state of panic. I returned to my regular, albeit pricier salon (Helm, also in River Market) and was thrilled at what the stylist there was able to do to salvage my hair. She got me in last minute late at night to help. She also charged me half of what a normal haircut would cost. A stark contrast from the service I received at R&B. Needless to say I went back to Helm for coloring and will continue to moving forward! read more

I returned to purchase a styling product after services. Not only was I sold by the stylist a product she didn's use on me. But she charged me double the price the product is online. read more

I came here for the first time and Jillian Huan was sooo sweet and personable. The salon is super cute and aesthetic and I felt comfortable the entire time. Jillian was amazing to work with because she really took the time to understand what I was hoping for with my balayage and the end product was absolutely beautiful. I trusted her with making judgements about certain aspects because I was unsure about certain things I wanted, and she really had the creative touch to fit my face and skin tone. I highly recommend Jillian!!! read more

Roots And Branches Salon - Subtle dark brown balayage in very black hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I just moved to KC from CA. I researched the salon and chose Erin based on her bio. Finding a new stylist is tough. I always want a great hair do with pleasant conversation and a warm heart. While waiting for my appointment, Erin was kind to her client, so I felt confident in my choice. When I took the chair, the first thing Erin said, was "You should tell your stylist you have long hair in the future". Her tone spoke as if it was a burden. The appointment was booked online, perhaps a prompt for additional hair would help... I've had my hair done all over the country, I've never had to mention it before. I apologized throughout my appointment for making more trouble with the style. Needless to say, conversation was awkward. I asked various questions about options and her opinion. Erin's response was, "It's up to you, when I cut I cut. No going back", coldly. Technically, Erin did a good job on my hair. Price point was where I expected this salon to be. However, I expect to pay for a relaxing day away from the stress of life. I left feeling sad and lacking that warm fuzzy, "just got my hair done" feeling. Maybe Erin will treat you better. read more

A fantastic salon in the River Market neighborhood-I scheduled a bang trim with Erin and she did a fabulous job on my angles. They are dedicated to providing their customers with great service and a wonderful inside that will help you escape the rush of the day and relax while getting your hair styled! read more

I've been coming to Erin at Roots & Branches since I moved to KC about 2 years ago. I've got naturally dark hair and a lot of it. I asked for a balayage and for a cut that makes my hair looks healthy. Erin delivers every time!! I always leave feeling like I have a sense of pride in my hair. read more

Roots And Branches Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

As a curly-haired girl, I am very particular about where I get my hair cut and I'm willing to spend money on someone that can tame this mane. This has only become increasingly more difficult for me since moving from the dryness of Colorado to this godforsaken humidity- someone really should have warned me! So, I decided to try this salon when I first moved to the River Market about two years ago. I've actually seen a number of the stylists: Molly, Sarah, Emma, Abigail, and Erin. My schedule varies a lot so it makes it hard to consistently see the same person. But they have all done such a beautiful job and I always leave happy! My last appointment was with Erin and she thinned out my hair a bit, which I really liked because otherwise my hair just grows out into this unattractive triangle shape. They use Kevin Murphy and R&Co products, which both happen to be cruelty-free. They are also both vegan friendly, meaning that they have both vegan and vegetarian offerings. The stylists suggested that I start using the Atlantis R&Co shampoo and conditioner, which are both vegan and ideal for thick, curly hair. You can purchase these products at Roots and Branches. read more

I had my haircut by Erin & she was great. I showed her a few pictures of what I wanted & trusted her judgement with the rest. I ended up with exactly what I wanted. Thanks Erin! read more

Janice Pumpkin was great! I came in for a color and haircut. I was immediately greeted and seated. Janice did a quick consultation and asked what I wanted done. I got an extra conditioner (apparently no facials done so basically the Yelp checkin) is what I got. I appreciated the same person coloring, washing, and cutting my hair. I loved the color and style. The salon was cozy with an elegant feel. I didn't have time to really walk around the River Market neighborhood, but seems like an interesting place to explore. A friend recommended this salon and of course happy to see awesome reviews from yelpers. Highly recommended salon and for sure I'd make an appointment before walking in. read more

Roots And Branches Salon - Front desk - Hair Salons Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Anyone who has moved to a new city or has been in search for a new hair stylist can agree that finding one is usually a process. However, my search started and ended at this salon. The staff at the salon is so friendly. They made it a point to really take care of me while I waited, even though I only had to wait only about 2 minutes. My stylist, Kayla was extremely kind and very attentive to what I wanted. I know I am picky, but she was noting but pleasant. She is a true perfectionist. I was perfectly satisfied with the style, even then, she reviewed the cut and color again, critiqued and corrected anything she saw and made it flawless. She has a fantastic personality, which was both professional and personal. It was like visiting with a good friend. She really loves her work and it shows. I don't take the time to write reviews unless I have a deep impression with my experience at a store or with a service. I would and will recommend Kayla, and most likely her colleagues to anyone in search for a great cut, color and style all for a great price. If you also care about the setting of the salon, then you will be pleasantly pleased. The building is very clean and very historic with many creative aspects of the architecture maintained. Just look online and you will be able to see what I mean. Easy parking and access. read more

I have been going to Kayla Mullarney for over six months now, and every time I leave, I am so impressed with my experience! Most recently, she did a balayage and a haircut, and I love how it turned out. I told her to do whatever she thought would be best with the color, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Although I feel I can be challenged when trying to style my hair, she always is giving me tips on how I can achieve the look I want. It is so nice to have a hair stylist who gives advice on styling it, rather than just styling it and sending you on your way. Roots and Branches is such a cute salon with all of the conveniences you could want with a salon. I really like the ability to book my appointments online, and I love the products they carry including Kevin Murphy and R+Co. I highly recommend Kayla at Roots and Branches! read more

Molly has been my stylist for quite some time. She is personally nothing short of amazing. When she told me her plans to open her own salon, I knew that it would be a success. Since Roots and Branches has opened, I have loved the experience. Not only can you get an amazing cut, color and style but there are tons of great products as well. Roots and Branches is one of the only salons in the KC area carrying the EVO line of products. I have personally used several of the products and have been extremely happy with them. There is also a line of candles Molly has in the salon Archipelago Botanicals is the name and these candles are some of the best you can find anywhere! If you haven't been to Roots and Branches, you have to check it out. Ask for Molly, I guarantee you will come back!! read more

Erin was absolutely awesome. I went in needing a trim, root color, and wanted to add some dimension to my super dark hair. Not only did it look amazing, but she was a great stylist and great to talk with. I would recommend her to anyone! read more

Kayla did my hair and makeup for my recent wedding, as well as the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law. Every single one of us felt beautiful after Kayla's touch! She is truly extremely talented at her craft, and listens extremely well to what you want. Then, she makes sure you're happy. :-) I have started going to Kayla for haircuts now and am very happy. Can't say enough about her professionalism, warmth, and talent! read more

I went in for a haircut and bayalage treatment from Kayla and she cut and styled my hair exactly the way I wanted it. I had never tried bayalage in my hair and wanted subtle chestnut coloring with my dark brunette hair and gave Kayla an example picture that she replicated perfectly. She also cut and styled my hair exactly the way I had asked. I would definitely consider coming back. read more

Timmy, It was love at first cut! You are fabulous. Your knowledge & expertise in product was over the top! Welcome to KCMO! You have a new client! Me!!! I can't wait to see what you do next! read more

See all

I have been looking for a stylist and salon that makes you feel like you are at home and finally found the spot! I had read reviews on Yelp and decided to give it a shot after needing some serious color correction from a previous salon. I booked my appointment with Janice online through Yelp and could not have asked for a better outcome! Janice took the time to genuinely ask what I was looking for in my hair color as well as what my concerns were from a previous bad hair color. She found the perfect blend and correction for my concerns and I walked away extremely happy! The good reviews for this salon are legit, what a great group of stylists who listen to what you want and make it happen. Already booked my appointment in 8 weeks for my touch up! read more

Timothy was just fantastic. Saw exactly what I needed and wanted and the salon itself is very fun. I came in needing help because I have a very VERY short haircut and not a lot of people know what to do with it. Tim was on point and kind and wonderful. Lots to browse and see and a great aesthetic. Thanks to the shop! read more

Erin was my stylist at Roots & Branches. I don't recommend her at all. I am a 47yr old brunette and requested to remain a chocolate brunette. I made it very clear that I do not like red and don't want red dye to be added to the color. I have never had a problem requesting that I don't want this anywhere else. 3/5 times Erin added red to my hair arguing with me that I asked her to do it and then chastised me in the salon that 'she was the professional and she shouldn't have to tell me what she decides to do"!! Erin, doesn't listen to her clients concerns and definitely doesn't make you feel comfortable. She also forgot to give me a robe to put on and spilt hair dye on my sweater. I had to ask for a robe. She doesn't seem to care. And forgets that without customers she wouldn't have any business. read more

I cannot recommend Abby enough. I recently moved to KC from Chicago and figured it would take a while to find someone who could nail a good blonde. I miraculously found Abby right away. On top of giving me some of the best highlights I've ever had, Abby is super fun and chill. #blessed read more

What a lovely salon!! I was in from out of town for a special event and saw Janice for a fancy hairdo. She listened to what I wanted and did an amazing job. I felt pampered and beautiful all through my event and was so sad to take out all the bobby pins at the end of the night. I also loved the decor and ambiance of the salon as well as the hair products she used. I'll definitely be back if I return to KC in the future! Thank you! read more

New to KC and sick of making the three hour trip to my stylist back home, I took a total shot in the dark and made an appointment based on yelp reviews and location. Salon was clean, bright, and cozy. Erin was warm and kind and VERY thorough with my cut. Blowout was one of the best I've had. Happy to say I found my KC stylist salon home on the first try! read more

Let me walk you through my entire experience. I made an appointment for 5:30pm. When 5:30 came around as I was parking, the hairstylist called said that she was still doing the previous appointment and asked if I could wait until 6:30. I was not happy because appointments are two weeks out and I drove a long way to get there. I was still very nice to the stylish. I realized one thing during my waiting time that I was not their demographic which was mostly white. Every other hair stylish was very chatty and super friendly to their clients. I showed her the pictures of what I wanted and told her I understood that I was going from dark to quite lighter so it might not turn out exactly like the pictures. We went through the process with a bit of rush because we didn't start dying the hair until 7pm. The entire time she barely spoke to me. I made a couple convo initiators but nothing passed 3 4 sentences. So imagine that from 5:30pm till 9:30. The color was NOT even closed to what I wanted (honest it looked choppy and chunky) but liked the haircut then probably because it was blowdryed and style. Thats why I booked a follow up appointment. I also tip 15%. But after 1 week, I tried to make it work but the cut looked so bad because I dont blowdry or straighten my hair every day. The day before the follow up appointment, she contacted me sayint that she had been sick (probably cancel the appointment again). I said i wouldn't make it and I hope she felt better. No reply. Not even a "okay, thanks". It took her 2 seconds to cancel?my appointment (I received a text almost immediately). The bottom line is that my experience at this salon was NOT good. Below average turnout and unacceptable customer service. read more

We really miss Kayla now that we've moved away from KC. She does a great job and is careful not to cut too much too quickly, like many other stylists. Best of all, she has a fabulous sense of style. I even trust her with my bangs. :) She also does an amazing job cutting guys' hair. Highly recommended! read more

Absolutely love love love my hair! I've been going to different salons for the past two years because I had a hard time finding a stylist that understood my hair cut needs and executed it well. After my visit with Ryan I can say that I have finally found my stylist! He's so sweet and talented! He did a phenomenal job cutting and styling my hair. Never have I had a cut turn out so perfect! The products they use are also very eco-friendly and high quality. I cannot get over how much I love my hair now!! read more

Just had my hair highlighted and cut by Sarah P. I just moved back to KC from California and this is by far the best blonde I've had outside of LA. Feeling Hollywood glamorous. Thanks Sarah! read more

Kayla was great! She was very attentive and took the time to have an in depth chat with me , so she knew exactly what I wanted. My color looks wonderful I have no doubt that when Kayla cuts my hair at my next visit, I will be equally pleased:) In addition to all of the professional praise, I would be remiss if I didn't mention what a nice person Kayla is. It was lovely chatting with her. read more

I met Molly years ago through a friend. She has given me several haircuts through out the years (I moved away from KC, moved back, then moved away again). She did a fantastic job every time. I took a trip back to KC last week and decided to call her up. Unfortunately, she couldn't fit me in so she recommended Sarah. I was nervous having a new person cut my hair, but I should've known Molly would take care of me! Sarah did an amazing job!!!! I love my haircut and I can't wait to have her cut it again! Both ladies do amazing things with their hands and scissors. I highly recommend this salon. read more

Kayla is awesome. Very nice and welcoming:-) loved my hair cut and products. Loved the salon was very clean and also everyone was very welcoming also. Can't wait for my next hair appointment. :-) read more

I have to say that the vibe in this place is great! It is very modern but also very cozy. They have a nice selection of beverages to make your experience as relaxing as you want too! (Blue Moon beer, wine, tea..you name it)I love that they sell little quirky things for the home as well as hair and beauty products too! Debbie is my stylist and has been for years. She rocks. I first met her after a haircut disaster, which she saved me from. Haven't been to anyone since. She always has an idea for color and cut. I don't really have to say much or tell her what I want.I think that is a great quality in an artistic stylist! They should know your personality and be able to do your hair in a way that shows off who you are! :) Go check this place out! read more

Had my first apt here today for highlight and trim with Abby. She was great. I would def recommend. Love love love my hair. Thank you so much Abby. read more

Sarah is the best! I've trusted her with my hair for 7 years. I was more than happy to move wherever she has moved. I can go in with a vague explanation of what i want and I always walk out happy. Not only is she is a great stylist, she is great person. She is positive and bubbly and can make anyone feel comfortable in her chair. read more

I LOVE this salon and I would recommend it to anyone. Kayla is a thoughtful stylist who cares about giving her clients the best cut/style/color possible. I highly recommend this salon. read more
