Root & Shadow started in a small basement studio with one chair, when Lizzie began doing hair there. It now operates from a suite on North Broadway in Denver with a small team of stylists.
The salon cares about how a visit feels as much as the finished result. Stylists begin with a consultation to talk through a client's past color and treatments, what they want to keep, and what fits their daily routine, and the team aims to set realistic expectations from the start. The stated approach is people-first, collaborative and grounded.
Clients can park in the free lot directly in front of the building, and street parking is also available. Guests are asked not to use the small lot across the alley. Appointments are booked through the Book Now page on the salon's website.
Most of the work falls into creative and vivid color, blonding, bold and creative cuts, and everyday hair. The stylists are known for transformations and for hair that is thick, unusual, or has a complicated color history.
Consultations come first, with an emphasis on how the process feels as well as the outcome, and on realistic expectations.
Considered and intentional, with a setting meant to feel easy to settle into.
