Color & Extension Specialists for Novi, MI
Rooted Salon is in Grand Blanc, about an hour north of Novi. That's a real drive, so we'd rather earn it than assume it. From Novi, the trip makes the most sense for one of two things: color that grows out without a hard line, or extensions custom enough that nobody can find them.
Two ways north from Novi
The simplest route is I-96 west to US-23, then US-23 north to Grand Blanc; it's all expressway and runs a little over 50 miles. The back-road option cuts north through western Oakland County toward I-75 and is shorter on the map, but with more lights. Either one usually lands close to an hour.
Both finish a few minutes from our studio at 214 McFarland St, where parking is on site.
What's worth the drive
Balayage is hand-painted, placed where light would naturally catch your hair, and planned so the grow-out is soft. Done well, it stretches the time between visits, which is exactly what you want when the salon is an hour away. Foiled highlights are the brighter, more structured option when that's the look you're after.
If you're weighing extensions, the consultation and install are separate appointments, since your hair is custom-ordered after the color match. Ask Rooted, our free online consultation, lets you start that conversation from home.
Novi questions
- How far is Rooted from Novi?
- About an hour. The expressway route, I-96 west to US-23 north, is a little over 50 miles. We're at 214 McFarland St in Grand Blanc with on-site parking.
- Is an hour's drive worth it for color?
- For lived-in color and custom extensions, it can be, especially because good balayage means fewer trips over the year. If you're not sure, start with Ask Rooted at rootedsalons.com/guide. It's free, and you can share photos from home before committing to the drive.
- How often would I need to come back?
- It depends on the service. Lived-in balayage is designed to stretch between appointments, and a gloss can refresh the tone in between. Extensions need a move-up roughly every six to eight weeks. We'll set a schedule that makes sense for the distance.
