I was excited to try this place because it's a cute local salon that is woman owned and I wanted to freshen up my hair. Just know what stylist you are getting before you let them cut your hair. I have long hair and wanted the same haircut I have had for the past 10 years - long layers and curtain bangs. The haircut I received was kind of two haircuts in one with a long layer below my shoulders and then a chin length layer stacked on top of that. They were kind enough to emergency book me in with another stylist who was able to remedy the cut by cutting the long layer shorter so it could kind of blend with the very short layer and not look insane. This second stylist said that the first stylist did a 'technically correct cut' but because my hair was fine it didn't come out right. I know she was just trying to stick up for the other stylist but I felt like I was being gaslit because I would not have been in her chair if anything about that first cut had been technically correct. I now have hair that is shoulder length and I just have to wait for the even shorter layers to grow out. I tipped the original stylist 20% on a 200$ service. The color came out very good but I will never go back for another haircut and feel like I should have been refunded on the haircut portion of the service. These are big prices for this kind of service. Good luck. read more

I had a great experience with Ana! Thankfully she had a cancellation so I could get in last minute. A great experience and she was very nice. The haircut turned out so cute and now I'll have to go back and try color! read more

Alexa always does a great job! Even juggling 2 appt, she made sure I wasnt sitting more than needed for processing by asking a colleague to wash my hair and give a great head massage. By the time we finished, she was back with me. read more

So saddened to have to write this review on roots. We had a 2 year client/stylist relationship with Ricky in Brookfield. I truly thought a lot of him. The last visit my daughter had full foils blonde long hair every 4/6 weeks not cheap. Well this last visit her hair was 4 different colors from white blonde to red blonde and her hair near her neck line was untouched just dark. the outgrowth was still showing and she also had not been fully rinsed and her hair was still wet when she left the only partial blow dry. I called that very evening to speak with Ricky he never text nor called me back. I tried two more times the next day with a promise that he'll be given the message and will return my call he never called nor did anyone from roots Brookfield ever contact me. I only wanted the bare minimum reassurance or information questions about whether my daughters hair would lighten up on its own using a product I could buy. I got nothing after two years of going to Ricky not even a text I guess he ghosted is that a thing professional hair stylist that charge top dollar do nowadays? Just sad and let down by lack of professionalism, and class. What more could I do in this situation? read more

Bailey is amazing! I see her every 6-8 weeks to keep my icy blonde hair fresh and she never disappoints! Definitely have recommended this salon to many friends and they have loved it! Clean and welcoming staff! read more

I had a bridal hair trial with Jae, and she did such a fantastic job. She asked really good questions about the hair style I chose that I hadn't considered and I am really thankful that she asked! All of the other staff were equally as kind. Thanks so much! read more

went in to get my hair only textured. mentioned multiple times only texture. they ended up giving me texture and trimming without asking, so now I don't have the flow I wanted. seem like my person wasn't confident in my strait hair as well. Workers were very nice and welcoming. read more

Excellent service as always! Jae is an amazing stylist, always greeted with professionalusm

The hair cut was fine. Stylists are qualified. The booking system is a mess (don't forget to book your blow dry with a color or hair cut or you leave with wet hair - good luck finding the option, the front desk couldn't even help me find it). This last visit, checked in at 3:55 for my son's 4pm haircut with a level 1 stylist ($19). A few minutes later a girl walks in and they take her back. 4:30 I finally ask when he is going to be cut and the front desk lady disappears, then comes back to tell me oops, there was a mix up. They took the 4:30 girl in our place. Uhm, how does that happen? Did we have the same name? So at 4:45 they finally take my kid back for his cut with a different stylist, level 3. At checkout, front desk person tells me they will give me $10 off - of the stylist 3 price kid cut ($34). Uhm, no - we should pay the $19 we signed up for (and frankly should have gotten the $10 off that.) I just paid and left. I've been going there for about 8 years. So much turnover and the last three visits have not been impressive. Get it back together Roots. read more

If you are a guy I would strongly suggest going to another establishment. I walked in on the recommendation of my female roommate. They clearly have new people right out of beauty school here that have no clue how to do a fade. It looked like the lower half of my head was done with a weed wacker. Patchy as f*ck. I went to another establishment to fix it. Thankfully they fixed it. I give it 2 stars cause she was really nice and tried to fix it twice after it looked horrid. read more

This was the worst salon . I asked for a light brown and she gave me a bright red. She then cut my hair crooked and then they said they'd give me a redo and they couldn't get there red out they just turned it even darker into a blackish red. My hair is fucked , no thank you roots salon . I spoke to the manager she was very rude and said that she'd only refund me half and accused me of using box dye which I have never done or used in my life. Horrible place , gave them too many chances do not go there !! Downloaded yelp just for this. read more

Roots Salon - This is my hair after going to this salon. Horrible. - Hair Salons Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

I have been a faithful client to this salon for over 10 years and today is where we part ways. Earlier in the year the salon switched from the Redken and Pureology product lines to the inferior Paul Mitchell and Colorproof lines. I was very disappointed but willing to give it a try. I have had my highlights and lowlights done three times with the Paul Mitchell line and NO more! A short 3 weeks after having full highlights and lowlights done my hair looks horrible and I called to ask if they would be able to special order the Redken products to use at my next appointment. The receptionist talked to my stylist who said she was unable to do that and the receptionist then claimed she would have a manager contact me after I told her that my sister (who is also a client that I had referred) had a stylist that special orders her Redken color and has been using that on her. It has been over a week and no call! The new products the salon has switched over to are no where comparable to the previous products they carried. When I have paid full price for a full head of highlights and lowlights that looks like a 3 month of grow out after only 3 weeks, I say the new products SUCK! My hair has gotten progressively duller and more damaged after each recent visit. I enjoy my stylist, it's the products they now use that have determined my decision to look elsewhere! Something that has bothered me for several years in regards to this salon is the constant revolving door of employees it seems to have. Rather than sending me (a client) solicitations for employment, maybe notifications of upcoming specials, promotions and events would be more beneficial. Why do I literally have to walk into the salon to discover current, in addition to upcoming specials? Birthday special? What a joke, why send it mid month?I believe the product switch to Paul Mitchell probably has something to do with possibly having first dibs at nabbing the best new grads from the Paul Mitchell beauty school to fulfill that revolving door void when maybe concentrating on finding established, experienced stylists would be a far better business option. You may notice that Roots does have a fairly decent Yelp star reputation, don't be fooled! There are plenty of one star reviews for inept stylists which are then bolstered by 5 star (mostly not recommended) reviews. If you will, please note that the majority of these 5 star reviews are Yelpers that have posted only that one review and keep in mind that quite a few are employed by Roots! If you are a newbie to hair coloring and using a groupon or whatever new talent $49 special, Roots maybe for you. If you are looking for a luscious, vibrantly colored head of gorgeous hair that you spend a pretty penny on, I suggest you look into another salon that offers QUALITY products that are represented and reflected on the best billboard, YOU! read more

I used to drive to janesville (almost two hours for my wax) and I went to roots today to get a wax with Brittany and she is absolutely incredible. I'm never making the drive to janesville again! Brittany is the girl to go to here in Milwaukee!!!! ( all the staff is very kind and attentive but she is absolutely above and beyond.) Such a fun person to talk to and she makes SURE to get all the hair down there and!! That you are comfortable throughout the whole process. I got a coupon online on Groupon at a really great deal to try it out and it's simply amazing. I highly recommend her and I will be going back :) luv her! read more

I had a cut and color appointment with Flynn. It was my first time meeting her. I think she did an OK job. I think color wise- I have had better color that I liked more in the past. I am not sure I would go back at this point. read more

Ericka was amazing!!!!!! I needed help fixing my orange hair from a previous salon and she did a wonderful job and I love my hair now!!! She also did my friends hair and she loved hers too!!! We will definitely be going back to her!! read more

Very nice salon. They seem to offer everything. I am trying them out today with a Groupon (full highlights and haircut for $47) and so far so good. I see they have a loyalty program, I may just sign up. I will be back! read more

Roots Salon - A busy Saturday afternoon at the salon. - Hair Salons Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

Since I'd had a disappointing experience at the Oak Creek location, I was a tad worried the same would happen at the Brookfield location. Thankfully, I was worried for nothing! BreHanna did a fantastic job with my color and Nina gave me a great style! Everyone on staff was friendly and kind. I'll definitely return to this location!! read more

I had a much better experience with the Brookfield salon ! My colorist was very helpful and empathetic to my previous experience with the Tosa salon ! The highlights were discussed and options reviewed . Overall quite pleased with the results , and the follow up maintenence schedule read more

I'm open to updating review based on my visit today to fix my hair, but so far this has been a terrible experience. What should've been simple highlights (I've been getting blonde highlights since I was 14) turned out orange and white. Wish I would've looked at the reviews here first. read more

Horrible haircut. I had taken my daughter for a cut and style. The stylist was supposed to be 'level 2' but according to their website, she is 'level 1'. To be honest, Half of the problem was my daughter. She had no idea what she wanted so she gave free reign to the stylist. So the haircut was short at the back but longer in the front, particularly the hair framing her face. BUT the stylist cut unevenly so that the front hair on the left side was much, much longer than the right. $42 dollars wasted. I don't know, is this a new hair style that youngsters are wearing? But my daughter's a teenager and she must live and learn. Needless to say, we will NOT be returning. read more

Awful. Daughter has bleach on her head before being told about the service and it's over &100.00 per hour...3 hours later and you can see a line, the color is t matched and parts of her head gave the green chlorine tint. And, " we are t quite finished yet. You can make your next appointment for 6 weeks and we will match it again....will never return. read more

Ana is the best! She takes the time to listen to what you need and always explains what she is going to do! I love my hair every time!!

I absolutely love this salon! I have very rarely been back to a place more than once or twice, but I have been coming here for almost a year now and I could not be happier. Jessica is absolutely AMAZING with what she does. I am in the process of lightening my hair and it is still in beautiful condition with little to no damage. (Following recommendations and using quality products helps too) She is excited about what she does and gets you excited about the change or new look you are looking for. I have never left feeling less than 150% satisfied. I see her every 6-8 weeks for color and I love my time there. I now take my daughter who is 8 to see her as well and Jessica treats her like a star and makes her feel important and beautiful, too! I had been searching for a place to cut my boys hair after many bad experience at discount places. I finally decided to call Roots to see if anyone could see my two boys hoping that maybe the place I love could do something that didn't make my boys look like major dorks. Noah was available and man does she do great work! My boys (9 and 8) have seen her twice and she listens to what we are looking for and engages in the boys, too. I love the option of getting a mani or pedi while my hair processes. I love the produces that the salon uses. Pureology is simply amazing and worth every penny. I don't mind traveling here one bit. Love, love, LOVE this salon. read more

paid $200 for color without a cut (including 30% off color only). unfortunately there is a very obvious LINE in the balayage of blonde against brown in my hair about 1/3 of the way down and all the way across my head. the color is pretty but the way she made these obvious lines ruined it for me. read more

They got hair dye on the collar of my sweater. Refused to compensate me for this. Wanted the front fixed because they had a thick strand not colored, and highlighted instead. Instead of fixing just that area, the girl redid the whole thing and changed the highlights. So instead of subtle and tiny, she made them all thick and bold - rather like skunk stripes. Then I was told they could fix that or they would melt my hair. Said I needed to now grow it out. I did and went back. They refused to fix or redo or refund. Never went back since. Still have the photos of my ruined sweater too. read more

They totally fried my hair. And this was a level 4 stylist! I also asked that she later cut my hair to blend in the previous damage from before and she didn't do that either. Pretty disappointed and will be looking for another place to redo my ombré. read more

I've been coming to this salon for years. My usual gal had moved so it's been a while since I got my hair cut. I booked online with an apprentice (which I didn't know at all or wouldn't have booked with her). This is the worst haircut I've ever had in my 24 years in this earth. When she blew me out it looked like I had come out of a tornado. It looked so horrible and NOBODY said a word. I went home to straighten it and was in tears. My hair was extremely uneven. She cut choppy "bangs" into my hair which I NOT asked for. And took literal chunks out of my hair. I went to the Tosa location to have it fixed (same day because it was that horrible). It took two stylists to try and fix what she did. It still looks horrendous and I've never felt so horrible about myself. My hair used to be something everyone pointed out. It was so long when I came in, now it's way shorter than I wanted and I have super choppy and ugly bangs. I wish I just never came in. This girl should never touch another head in her life. read more

The service I received was good however...please put ON YOUR WEBSITE not as a post-it on the door the protocol for calling from the parking lot. I actually searched for what I needed to do & found no instructions UNTIL I was standing at the door & read the sign. It's the little things that set you apart read more

Alexa was my 12 year old daughter's stylist and I cannot tell how happy we have been with her. She is a good listener and gave my daughter the best hair cut ever. read more

i have given up on this salon twice. i used to come to get hair coloring by missy, she did good work , was quite expensive but i quickly got left to any of the entry level stylists and abandoned by my high dollar stylist. i asked to be contacted by the owner manager and after trying to do that three times i gave up. i tried to see if the salon was better since i had been there and just got rude non help from the desk staff and could not even get info if missy still even worked there. i would only rate the salon as not worth attempting to deal with. i started going there with a groupon but they were never able to even perform the service that i paid for that got me to the salon. i guess i should have realized more quickly that this salon needs a remake themselves. read more

Enjoyed my hair appointment with Stephanie, aka "Bradley" here @ Roots! It was a lot bigger inside than expected and it has a professional and salon type atmosphere. It reminds me of Vici Beauty school...except for this are beauty school graduates ;). I got a really good deal from__ Groupon for only $40 for a color/trim/style. Also, I was given some coupons for any friends who would set up an appointment w/ Bradley/Stephanie...this included $15/off any service, and I would also be receiving the same deal after they had redeemed theirs, on my next visit! Overall, I felt very comfortable with my stylist and was pleased with my experience here. 5 read more

The 5 stars is for Kelsey who did a fabulous job correcting my earlier botched job by an entry level stylist at this same salon. I felt so bad I didn't tip her because I spent so much money on this already but I will be sure to make it up the next time. read more

Roots Salon is amazing and the only place I trust to go to get my hair done. If you are looking for a great hair stylist see Alexa! Myself and my daughter go to her. She does great with color and cuts. We always leave very happy! read more

I went for low lights as my hair is almost white. She went too dark and the color took on hues of purple and blue. Very unnatural and ugly. I went back and the shampoo BLEACHED my whole head - now it was pumpkin orange and straw. The girl was pulling out my hair trying to comb through it until I took the comb away. The manager said, "no worries, we'll get it how you wanted it." After 4 hours and 4 different people working on it, I left with yellow hair - not what I wanted. Manager never checked back. I called back for area Roots manager. She sent me to Tosa salon where the color was corrected. My hair is long and it is ruined. It's like straw, I've lost a lot trying to get through it even after leaving conditioner on 15 minutes after every washing. read more

Do not go here!! I decided to give Roots Brookfield a second try at my eyebrow waxing when I couldn't get in with my regular girl and it was an emergency. TWICE it was a total HACK JOB! Uneven brows, a huge space in between my eyebrows and the girl left my face covered in wax!! She didn't even ask me to look at them when I left. Probably because she saw her shotty work. Never again!!! read more

Beautiful salon and great people! Love that they do nail polish changes for you while your hair is processing! I absolutely love the product lines they use especially Pureology! Highly recommend this salon! read more
