Haircuts

Enjoy a haircut crafted and sculpted specifically to your face shape. We have the experience and vision to bring to life your hair vision. Our goal is to give you confidence through your haircut!

Blow-dry

Get a finished and polished look with your haircut service with a full blow-dry experience.

Gray-Blending

This low-maintenance technique hides the gray by adding in other colors that are similar to your hair’s natural shade.

Lived-in-Color

This is a color service that enhances your natural color by adding soft dimension for an easy and low-maintenance grow out.

Balayage

Balayage is a French word that means “to sweep.” In this hair color technique, highlights are hand-painted or “swept” on the surface of sections of hair. This will create a melted look, making the hair look sunkissed and naturally lightened.

Foilwork

With so many foiling techniques out there, we take the guesswork out and can help you choose which option is best to achieve your desired look. We offer techniques such as babylights. foilyage, teasy-lites, and lowlights.

client love

Katelyn is amazing, as is her salon. It was my first time there and I felt very welcome and at home. I was greeted and offered coffee, and then Katelyn did an amazing job on my hair. It had been a year since I had it cut, so it really needed it. My head feels five pounds lighter now. She did a great cut and beautiful blowout. So glad I found Rooted!

Katelyn gave me a PERFECT cut and color that was just right for my hair. Her attention to detail, the way she really listens to her clients, her winsome personality, and the lovely atmosphere in the salon makes for a wonderful experience. I’m so glad my friend recommended Rooted. I’ve finally found a place where the owner’s expertise is top notch and her concern for her clients is genuine. I look forward to visiting again!

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 hair dressing. 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, foilayge, 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 a founder, I believe that the customer experience and service go hand-in-hand to loving your new hair. I strive to make sure everyone that 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 that 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!

Meet

Gabriela

You will know you’ve met Gabby when you are greeted by her beautiful, smiling face! Gabriela is Rooted Salon’s apprentice, studying directly under Katelyn. Gabby graduated Metro Beauty Academy in October 2022. She works full-time at the salon making sure all guests receive an amazing shampoo and head massage, all while keeping things tidy and organized. In the beauty industry, once licensed, it is imperative that your education be continued and you are given the opportunity to learn in a ‘real-world’ situation. You will notice Gabby working simultaneously on a mannequin, observing Katelyn’s color placement and formula, blowdrying, and applying client’s glazes. Our goal is to build Gabby’s book and have her flourish into a stylist at Rooted! Stay tuned for announcements regarding Gabby taking on new guests.

While Gabby is not at the salon, she enjoys spending time with her friends and family. She is a cat mom to Harrison and Sushi. Gabby, originally from Mexico, moved to the States with her family when she was thirteen. Her hobbies include spending time cooking in the kitchen, practicing new eye makeup looks, working out, reading, and enjoying a perfect cup of coffee! She is looking forward to advancing in her career and is looking forward to making your salon visit just that much sweeter!
