Root Essentials Salon

One of the best salon experiences of my life. They are all super talented, authentic, & friendly. Megan worked with me & made me feel so comfortable & safe to say what I want. My hair has never felt so healthy & alive right after a coloring. They use the best products & are very conscious & mindful of the environment. It’s a super zen space. I finally found my hair place. Thanks Megan!!!

Molly was able to get me in for a haircut and an eyebrow wax plus my boyfriend in on super short notice which I really appreciated! I had been going to the same hair salon for 8 years before moving to humboldt so I was pretty nervous about trying someone new. I felt super comfortable in the salon and I loved chatting with molly! Molly did my hair exactly how I wanted it and the other woman (I can’t remember her name) who cut my boyfriends hair did a great job! He’d never looked better. Molly didn’t do my eyebrows quite the way I like them but I think that was my fault for not being specific about what I wanted. She still did a great job, just not my style. On top of all of that their prices are great! Definitely my new go to salon

I met Molly a few years ago at another salon. I’ve been following her around since. I knew that I wanted to go short for the first time, but had no idea on the style I wanted. Molly studied my hair and went to town, and showed me helpful and easy ways to style my hair. It’s been two weeks since my hair was cut and everyday I love it more. She is an artist!

I’ve never felt so complete after a hair appointment before. I made an appointment with Megan after my friend who has similar hair (curly, crazy — shout out to Halie G!) and have never left the salon feeling happier than that day. I went in for a trim and left with a follow up appointment to get the blombre of my dreams.
Megan paid so much attention to detail and made me feel comfortable during both appointments. She really understands curly hair, and doesn’t let you leave until you’re satisfied. She was cool with talking sometimes, and also cool without talking, which I really appreciated. I wanted to get my ombré before I left for a festival, and she came in on a Saturday (her day off) because she couldn’t fit me in on any other days.
Call ahead before going in! She’s in high demand, it seems, and for good reason. I even got my boyfriend to get his hair cut from her. He left happy as a clam :) thanks Megan!

Suzanne did an awesome job on my hair! I had never gotten it colored before and wanted to do ombré. She got a feel for exactly how I wanted it to look and it turned out perfect. She talked me through the whole process and I felt totally relaxed knowing I was in good hands. I will definitely be going back to Suzanne again!

I have been getting haircuts from Molly Robles for as long as I can remember and she is amazing! She will work with you to make you look your best. If you are looking for great conversation and an awesome hairstyle, she’s your girl.

I’ve been living in Eureka for almost a year now and before I went to Roots it was a constant struggle to find a decent place to get a haircut/​style. My job requires me to get a nice haircut on the regular. I’m one of those people who constantly gets my haircut and never knows what I want. But… I do know when it’s done right and not just clipped and they send me on my way. One day finally fed up with those bogus spots at the Bay Shore mall I decided to give roots a try. Barbershops are awesome don’t get me wrong, but a Salon is way more top notch. And Therese at Roots proved that theory right. (Hands down one of the best haircuts I’ve ever received.) Tucked away right near the rock gym, Roots is clean, has a bright, vibrant and humble feeling. The friendly atmosphere made me feel comfortable as soon as I walked in. Therese was awesome. Like I said I tried my best to explain what I wanted and she worked with me and produce a perfect end result. The wash was spot on, got a warm towel on the face. Very relaxing and uplifting. We had great conversation all the way through. I can only imagine that her haircuts for a woman are just as good. So do yourself a favor, before you even think to yourself about even stepping foot at the tweaker mall, take what I said in this review, go to Roots and get your haircut. 5 stars, A+, 100% hands down. Support local business. –Matt

LOVE this place to get my hair done. Megan has done my hair for many, many years now and shes never done me wrong. Whatever I have in mind for her to do, she always takes it above and beyond what I had imagined for myself. She gives great consulting feedback, and will let you know if she feels a certain cut or color will work for your type of hair. Trust this one, she knows her hair and color! And for all you curly haired ones out there, she’s got you covered. Plus, the salon itself is bright, full of color and very welcoming; Megan and Suzanne have created a nice, positive atmosphere. If you live in Humboldt, this is the place to go.

Fate brought Megan and I together and for years we made magic together… or rather, she made magic while I watched in awe of her talent. Point is she is amazing and I miss her dearly now that I have moved to San Francisco :(. I will however continue to call her up when planning a visit to Humboldt. Do yourself a favor people…

I’ve been going to Suzanne for 7 yrs now. I met her at a previous salon and I’ve followed her to her new spot! She is AMAZING. Let me start off by saying when I first moved here and I made my appt I asked who was the best, they suggested the owner, then I asked to be booked with whoever does the owners hair. I figured anyone could own a salon, but whoever the owner has do her hair is probably a few notches up. She did not disappoint!!! 7 yrs later and now Suzanne and Megan have opened their own place. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
