The team

Who you'll meet at Root

Two of us look after the scalp-care room. Each practitioner's license is listed in the footer under their name.

  • Vicky Tseng, owner and cosmetologist, with a short grey bob and a cream sweater, holding a wide-tooth comb at her styling station

    Vicky opened the salon and added the scalp-care room when clients kept asking for a longer, slower wash. She works the room on Saturdays and is the one to ask about booking a whole family. She speaks English and Cantonese.

  • Oneika Whyte, scalp-care specialist and cosmetologist, with a natural afro and a mustard shirt, arms folded at her station

    Oneika works with coily and tightly curled hair every day and knows how to keep a style in place around a session. She takes the Wednesday to Friday bookings and is the one to ask about braids, twists and locs.

The salon is up front

Root shares the building with our family salon. If you'd like a cut or a style the same day, ask when you book and we will line the two up.
