Root Parlour

Root Parlour is located in the Los Altos neighborhood of Long Beach and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, closed Sunday and Monday. Hours vary with each stylist's schedule. The salon describes itself as a sanctuary for luxury hair services and community, and as a chic, modern space with a relaxing feel.

The salon's owner, Shelby, developed the extension method used here, and every stylist is trained on the installation process. Extensions are installed without tape, bonding or sewing and are custom color matched to the client. Extensions and grey coverage pricing are settled at a consultation, which is required before extension work. Services and pricing are set by each stylist individually, and a deposit is required from all new clients. Appointment requests sent through the contact form receive a reply within up to 48 hours.

Hair health is described as the salon's top priority. Its professional products come from Davines, which the salon says are made with natural, ethically sourced ingredients, and the salon says its stylists are highly educated in gentle color lines. Hair health services include scalp care, moisture and hydration, heat and color protection, and repair and strengthening.

The salon offers services beyond those listed on its site, so clients who have another need can ask about it when they book.
