Customers appreciate being able to secure appointments on short notice: “They were able to get me in a bit earlier, which I appreciated!” and “The salon was able to get my grandmother and me in for an appointment with short notice.”

While many find our prices fair and competitive—“Price for the cut was reasonable as well”—we know there’s room for improvement around pricing transparency. If you ever have questions about add-on services or product fees, our front-desk team is happy to explain every detail, so you never face unexpected charges at checkout.

Indulgent Specialty Services

Beyond cuts and color, Iron Roots Salon shines with a curated menu of specialty treatments designed to deliver a true “wow” factor:
• Signature Head Spa with Rachel or Ana: Immerse yourself in a rejuvenating ritual that combines soothing scalp massage, hydrating essences, and a gentle waterfall rinse. One guest confesses, “The waterfall gave me chills…the pressure of the massage was perfect! I wish I could book a 3-hour treatment.”
