Our Mission:
Meet
Katelyn
Hi! I’m Katelyn and I am so happy to meet you! I am the founder of Rooted Salon and I’m so glad you landed on this page.
I’m an Emmaus High School graduate who has always had a strong affection for the art of hairdressing. Born and raised in Allentown, Pennsylvania, I graduated from Empire Beauty School in 2007 and began my career in the Lehigh Valley right away. My husband, Brandon, and I opened Rooted in the spring of 2017 and had the honor of being voted “Best Women’s Salon’ four consecutive years; 2017-2020.
Some of my professional accolades include my studies at Vidal Sassoon in New York City and Toronto. I was a scholarship winner for Beauty Changes Lives and was awarded a week-long training on precision haircutting. I hold multiple certifications for the latest techniques, including balayage, foilayage, and gray blending. I am well versed in Wella Professional hair color as this is the line I’ve worked with for the entirety of my career. I pride myself on being versatile and enjoy the variety that each guest’s hair brings to my chair.
As I’ve been around the industry for some time now, I am often asked what my favorite part of my job is. Aside from making a woman feel refreshed and beautiful, I strive to offer my professional opinion on what color and haircut best suits a guest’s face shape and skin/eye coloring. It is so rewarding to see the ‘before + after’ unveiled in real time, right in front of me. The softness a proper haircut can bring to a hard jawline; the pink in someone’s cheeks brought back to life with the correct depth of color around their face…I am a complete hair nerd and live for these types of transformations!
As the founder of Rooted Salon, I believe that the customer experience and service go hand-in-hand to loving your new hair. I strive to make sure everyone who enters the salon feels welcomed, relaxed, and pampered.
While I am not in the shop, you can find me wiping runny noses and cleaning up the messes of our three-year-old daughter and eight-month-old son. My husband and I are both Lehigh Valley natives who have been married since 2013. I jokingly mention that my hobbies include running a business and taking care of my family. In my (imaginative) free time, I love to read, be outdoors, or enjoy a family-friendly adventure.
I look forward to connecting with you soon!

A Welcoming Place
For Everyone
Enjoy a specialty beverage such as a complimentary glass of wine, a mimosa, or a seasonal cocktail while you sit peacefully and enjoy the calm ambiance of the candlelit fireplace while relaxing comfortably in our lounge. Katelyn has built her brand based on experience and customer service. Using only the highest quality of hair color, Rooted Salon is proudly partnered with Wella Professionals- a color line trusted throughout the beauty industry for over one hundred years. In addition to Wella hair color, the team works with a variety of products including Redken ShadesEQ and Oligo lighteners to bring you the very best in all color services.
Our chosen and coveted retail line, Oribe, pronounced OR-bay, is a luxury line for the hair-obsessed. This exclusive product line is unique in every category: gels that condition, oils that hold, sprays that don’t flake, skincare-grade shampoos that prep hair for styling and gently balance the scalp, masques that have the richness and body of a lavish moisturizing cream. And that’s just the beginning. While the products are ultra-high-tech, the formulations are innovative and modern — formulated without parabens and sodium chloride. All the products are gluten-free, cruelty-free, color and keratin treatment safe, and have UV protection for hair. They perform like magic.
