First time here. Kellie is at the front desk and she’s amazing! So sweet and welcoming. My stylist was Emily and she did an exceptional job with my impossible hair. Such a cute shag cut! I highly recommend The Zealous Root. Yet another gem in GPP.

I had my balayage done here last summer with Beth and she did a beautiful job. She listened to what I wanted to achieve and she took her time doing my hair and paid attention to details and and my hair turned out beautiful . I can’t wait to be back again soon! Thank you .

I can’t recommend this place enough! Miranda is ridiculously talented. She has given me the best haircuts I’ve ever had! Seriously, I have never received so many compliments on my hair in my life!! Everyone there is friendly and the atmosphere is laid back. I love walking in here knowing that I will walk out feeling so good.
