urbAn rootS

I just had the most incredible haircut experience with Alli at urbAn rootS, and I cannot stop smiling! Not only did she give me a fabulous new look that perfectly suits my style, but she also took the time to truly educate me on how to care for and preserve my natural curls in a way that’s low maintenance yet high impact 🙌 Alli is pure talent — thoughtful, passionate, and deeply knowledgeable about hair health and styling. She didn’t just cut my hair; she transformed my relationship with it. I walked in looking for a refresh and walked out feeling *empowered*, *gorgeous*, and *seen* 🌿 If you’re looking for a stylist who listens, delivers magic with her scissors, and genuinely cares about your hair journey, Alli at urbAn rootS is your person. Book the appointment — your hair (and confidence) will thank you! 💚💚💚 thank you so so much, Alli 🫶🏼

Great haircut from Alcion. She always does an amazing job! Also purchased the new shampoo and conditioner from Paul Mitchell. She carries a lot of the product and can order anything desired. Alcion has added a small boutique with adorable and sassy t-shirts. I just had to have this one!

I really need a trim my hair was so dead lol. I just moved to Rolla and also needed a hairdresser. I decided to try Urban Roots. Oh my gosh Alcion is the sweetest not only does she give great cuts she is such a cool person. If you want a hair dresser who will also be your bestie go here. She is super knowledgeable and I’m so excited I found such a great salon.

Alcion is an amazing hairstylist. I’ve gotten cut and color and every time she knocks it out of the park. Being a redhead, she never ask me are you sure when I want to do a different color and I love that. If I want to go short she says “I love it” and starts cutting. She is the best and comes highly recommended from myself and all her other clients. She goes above and beyond to give you want you want or may need when it comes to hair. You’ll feel like family anytime you sit in her chair.

When I moved to Rolla I had a hard time finding a stylist that made me feel comfortable. I was recommended by a friend to Alicion. Now me and my boyfriend have been going to her for around a year. Alcion has been the most amazing stylist. She is accommodating and understanding. She genuinely cares for her clients in all aspects of their life. We always leave with exactly what we asked for (and sometimes more with her amazing products recommendations). It’s amazing all that she can do as a one woman show owning her own business. She’s our favorite!

Every time I leave the salon after Alcion does my hair, it honestly feels better than when I arrived. I was used to feeling damage as soon as I left the salon I used to go to and now every single time I leave urbAn rootS, it looks healthy and feels healthy. She goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable in her chair not to mention helping me bring the natural texture I already had alive. I highly recommend getting pampered by her, you won’t regret it!

I have very fine and wavy hair ~ it truly has a mind of its own. But Alcion has helped me get my confidence back. I appreciate her willingness to always listen and address whatever is going on about how I feel with my hair. From phenomenal shades of new color to epic layers during haircuts, I walk away from every appointment feeling like a rock star. I especially appreciated the preparation for my sisters wedding. With a longer style and special color for the big day, I truly felt like a fairy godmother (I am 24 years older than my sis). Blessed to have Alcion as my stylist and “hairapy” support specialist.

Walking into Urban Roots, I couldn't help but be amazed by the love and investment Ali has poured into creating such a stunning and nurturing space. It's clear Ali pours her heart into not just the beauty industry but also in fostering the next wave of hairstyling talent at Urban Roots. Everywhere you look, there's evidence of this commitment, from the sleek, modern tools to the comprehensive training programs aimed at equipping aspiring stylists with everything they need to succeed. However, it's hard not to notice a bit of a disconnect. Despite all these incredible resources and opportunities laid out for growth at Urban Roots, there seems to be a gap in how much the new talents are grabbing hold of these chances. It's a bit of a puzzle—on one hand, you have this incredible environment designed to lift stylists up, and on the other, there's a struggle to see that same drive and commitment mirrored in the trainees. This situation makes me wonder about the challenges of aligning expectations and truly motivating those who are just starting out in such a competitive field. Ali, with her professionalism and genuine love for her craft, stands as a beacon of what's possible. The services offered are top-notch, meeting the needs of a wide variety of clients with care and precision that's truly admirable. It's this level of dedication and skill that I hope the next generation of stylists will aspire to reach, inspired by the environment and opportunities that have been so thoughtfully provided for them at Urban Roots.

Alcion has worked miracles on my curly hair. Before moving here, my hair had never known hard water. When I met Alcion, she met my recon mission (my words not hers) of recovering my curls to their former glory head on. 2 years later, this is still the best hair experience I have had! Recent upgrades to the salon have been done amazingly and it includes a nail salon space (pending nail tech) and esthetician space. I also love that this salon is also now a learning space for those newly out of cosmetology school.

Love going to see Alcion! She is so fun and really helped me figure out the best shampoo to get my hair back to where it needed to be. And her cuts always look amazing!
