Katelyn
Owner & Founder
Katelyn opened Rooted Salon in 2017 with a vision to create a space where both guests and stylists feel truly at home. With over 15 years behind the chair, her career has evolved from stylist to salon owner to mentor—shifting her focus toward building a supportive, sustainable career path for future professionals in an often unpredictable industry.
While she still specializes in short cuts and working with silver hair and mature women, Katelyn’s heart is now fully rooted in cultivating a strong salon culture, refining the guest experience, and leading with intention. She treats the salon as an extension of her home, and finds deep joy in welcoming every guest with warmth and care.
Katelyn has two beautiful children—Arlow (5) and Declan (3)—and is raising a family while growing a business that reflects her values.
Rooted is more than a salon—it’s a reflection of Katelyn’s passion for people, progress, and purpose.
Favorite Service: I love working with short hair, mature women who feel intimidated coming into a salon as they “might not belong,” and blonding services
Favorite Product: DRY TEXTURE SPRAY

My Personal Style
I would say simplistic, casual, girl-next-door vibes. In the summer, I will most definitely be wearing my platform Birks, and in the winter, a simple black chelsea boot is my go-to. I’m shoe obsessed!
My Inspiration
My mom’s hairdresser. By the age of 6, I knew I was destined to be a stylist. I never wavered in my decision.
Education Highlights
I am extensively trained in Wella Professionals Hair Color and have completed advanced haircut training at the prestigious Vidal Sassoon Academies in both Toronto and New York City.
