Hi, I’m Lindsay Nawash!

With over 14 years behind the chair (plus a few years off to raise my family), I bring a blend of creativity, precision, and a deep love for color. As a Redken Certified Hair Colorist, I specialize in seamless lived-in blondes, dimensional brunettes, bold coppers, and everything in between. Whether it’s highlights, balayage, or all-over color, I customize each shade to enhance your unique style.

I stay on top of trends while always appreciating the timeless classics. In addition to color, I offer precision cutting and hair extensions to elevate your look even further. My goal is simple: for you to leave my chair feeling confident and excited about your hair.

When I’m not in the salon, you’ll find me chasing after my two adventurous boys, running my size-inclusive clothing brand, Lost in Layers, or enjoying great food with friends.

Hi, I’m Amanda!

I’ve been a stylist behind the chair for over 17 years, and people say you’ve got to love what you do… I put the L O V E in it! ❤️

The best part of my career is connecting with my clients, building lifelong relationships, and seeing the smiles that light up my day.

I bring a zest for my craft and a vivacious personality, almost as bold as my favorite lip color! Behind the chair, I’m happiest working with blondes and creating multi-dimensional color magic.

Education is a huge part of our ever-evolving industry, and I’m always learning! I’ve had the privilege of attending courses in coloring and cutting with icons like Vidal Sassoon, Bumble and Bumble, and Redken, just to name a few.

Ready to step into the future of hair with me? I can’t wait to have you in my chair!

Hi, I’m Serena.

Manager of our Aspen location. I’ve been behind the chair for 15 years and still fall in love with this career every single day.

I’m passionate about the diversity hair brings. No two clients or styles are ever the same! I’m always learning and growing so I can give my clients the very best. I have a soft spot for lived-in blondes and brunettes, bobs, and men’s cut, but honestly, I love it all.

I’m also a fine-hair girly myself, which is why I love helping other fine-haired clients understand and embrace our texture so they can love their hair every day.

I’m a small-town girl at heart who’s happiest outside, whether I’m working hard in the sun or out on the golf course, pretending I actually know what I’m doing. I’m also a huge dog person, and when I’m not at the salon, you’ll find me with my cuddle buddy, Finn.

Can’t wait to meet you and create something amazing together.

Hi, I’m Chelsey – a stylist who’s been dreaming of this career since I was little (ask my childhood dolls — they were my first clients).

I officially kicked things off by starting school in 2020 right in the middle of the chaos — yep, I’m a proud Pandemic hairdresser baby

I graduated with honors and hit the ground running, bringing passion, creativity, and a whole lot of heart to every client who sits in my chair. I love creating dimensional blondes, lived-in color, and full transformations — especially when paired with big '90s layers and voluminous blowouts

that bring the whole look to life. And as someone who’s been wearing extensions since I was 17, I’m obsessed with helping my fine-haired babes add length, volume, and confidence with seamless, natural-looking extensions.

I'm new to Rootbar and beyond excited to start this journey surrounded by such incredibly talented and inspiring women. I can’t wait to bring that same magic into every appointment.

Let’s make some magic!

Hi, I’m Rebekka!

Yes, I’m aware most have “c’s” in their name but my mama thought it would be unique to add k’s to mine - and that is exactly I am as a stylist. Or so I’d like to believe.

I have been a hair artist for 11 years and a lash artist for 4 (certified in UV lash extensions). I strongly believe hair is the crown you wear and that your mood for the day is most definitely set by if it’s a good hair day or a bad, and I absolutely work my tail off to ensure it’s a good hair day the day of the appointment and with the right products and routine, post appointment. I’m in love with toning, blondes, and funky colours. Whether it’s a lived in blonde or a modern day “emo” cut or something fun & outside of the box you can find me excitedly jumping up and down like a child at Christmas. I come from both a small town and the city - so modern day mullets are right up my alley. My mom taught me at a young age to cut hair, she was a stylist for a brief time in her youth and urged me to go into hair, I fought and fought and fought, finally caved and found not only my passion but my personality.

Outside of work I have two children, a teenaged son and a toddler daughter (my two-a-saurous-rex) when I’m not annoying them with my shenanigans you can find me drinking tea and binge watching the walking dead (for the millionth time) & the rookie! I love road trips, the ocean, painting, and a good book!

Hi! I’m Natalia♡

Whether it’s a bold transformation or subtle maintenance, my goal is always the same: hair that looks amazing and feels even better. With 5 years of experience, I come from a family of hairstylists. So instead of passing down recipes, I was handed shears, color formulas, and the ability to spot who needs a haircut from across the room. I pride myself on being able to cater to both men's and women's styles, working closely with inspiration pictures while focusing on how to customize each service specifically for you.

Earning my Red Seal was a huge milestone in my career, but I never stop striving for more. The beauty industry never stands still, and neither do I. I’m always evolving through continued education, refining my skills to give my clients the best I have to offer. To me, great hair isn't just about the end result, it starts with listening; which is why I value consultations and love to create a blueprint for the next step in your hair journey.

At every appointment, I bring high energy, a big smile, and lots of laughs. I love creating a fun, lively atmosphere where you can feel relaxed and enjoy the experience. Plus, I’ll make sure you leave with the knowledge (and maybe a few product secrets) to keep your hair looking salon-fresh every day.

When I’m not at the salon, you’ll probably find me cruising the city, buried in books as I prep for exams, or getting lost in a good book with a cup of tea in hand.

I believe your hair should be as unique as you are, a true reflection of both your personality and our collaboration. With your vision and my expertise, you’ll leave feeling empowered, knowing your hair perfectly matches who you are.

I can’t wait to welcome you to my chair and to Rootbar!

Hi everyone! My name is Hannah!

I have been behind the chair for close to 7 years and have my red seal certification. I'm passionate about anything lived in and I love a good blonde but continuing to learn and grow is my biggest passion.

As a kid I started to notice my own hair sparkles start to make an appearance and now into my adult years they definitely shine bright! As much as we try and cover them up I do love a natural grey blend which is where my love for lived in color flourished.

Growing up it was always my passion to help and inspire others. Becoming a part of the beauty industry has only made that fire burn brighter! It's my belief that not only are you in my chair to get the hair of your dreams but also to bring out your inner beauty and confidence!

It's important to have clients who sit in my chair feel comfortable, judgement free, relaxed and pampered. Starting with a thorough consultation to a custom color/cut plan, the massage at the sink and the finishing style so you can leave feeling as beautiful as you deserve to feel!

When im not behind the chair I really enjoy going to the mountains whenever i can and spending a good night at home with my kitties.
