Rootbar Salon Shawnee

An express-service model shapes the menu at this Rootbar location, where appointments are built around colour work that can be completed in about an hour. The Calgary studio handles full and partial colour, cutting, styling and blow-dry add-ons, along with hair extensions and bridal or event looks. Guests can combine services or keep the visit simple; an express root service is performed on clean, dry hair and finished with a rinse and dry, while blowouts are charged separately. Colour product cost is calculated with the SalonScale app so clients pay for what is used. Booking runs through the salon's online portal with email and text confirmations, and new clients leave a 50 per cent deposit toward their first service under a 48-hour cancellation policy.
