Lizzie is the founder of Root & Shadow and has been doing hair for over ten years.

She started the salon in a tiny basement setup, lovingly referred to as a “closet under the stairs,” after realizing traditional salon culture didn’t really fit the way she wanted to work or connect with clients.

These days, she focuses on creative color, blonding, and transformations, especially when the starting point isn’t perfect. She’s known for working through tricky color situations and helping clients land somewhere that actually feels like them.

She’s also passionate about helping other stylists build sustainable, independent careers and creating a salon environment that feels collaborative, calm, and human.

She cares just as much about the experience as the result. The goal is always good hair and a space that feels easy to be in.
