Our Story

It started with a chair
and a conversation.

The Rooted wash station area — warm tones, textured tile, and an olive tree grounding the space

Two stylists. One vision.

With nearly four decades of combined experience between them, Jared and Alishia Fite didn’t just open a salon — they built the one they always wished existed.

The industry had split into two extremes. Big salons that moved fast, ran loud, and treated clients like numbers. And solo suites that felt isolated — closed off from the energy and collaboration that makes great work happen.

Neither felt right.

Rooted was born from a simple belief: people deserve to feel at home in the chair. Not rushed. Not overlooked. Not lost in the noise. A place where the conversation matters as much as the cut. Where every detail is intentional and every client is known by name.

We found our space — intimate enough to feel personal, open enough to feel alive. No chaos, no isolation. Just expert care in a setting designed around you.

This is salon reimagined. This is Rooted.

The Space

Walk in and you’ll feel it.

The space is warm without trying too hard. Natural light, clean lines, the kind of intentional simplicity that takes real thought to achieve. No sterile white walls. No sensory overload. Just a calm, grounded environment designed to make you exhale the moment you sit down.

What We Stand For

What “rooted.” means

Craft

We take our time because your hair deserves it. Every technique we use, we’ve studied, practiced, and refined. We attend advanced education, follow the industry’s best, and never stop learning — because standing still isn’t an option when people trust you with how they face the world.

Community

We’re part of this town. We’ve watched kids grow up, celebrated milestones, and held space during hard seasons. Rooted isn’t just where our chairs are — it’s where our roots are.

Care

Every client is a person, not an appointment slot. We listen before we touch a single strand. We remember details. We follow up. Because genuine care isn’t a service we offer — it’s who we are.
