In a world where beauty is often rushed, replicated, and reduced to trends, there are still sacred spaces where care, culture, and connection come first.
Urban Rootz is one of those spaces.
Founded by Jada, a seasoned natural hair specialist with over 20 years of experience and study, Urban Rootz is more than a salon—it’s an intentional environment built on care, precision, integrity, and consistency. Every client who sits in Jada’s chair is treated like family, with a level of respect and attentiveness that reflects not only her professionalism, but her purpose.
Her mission is simple, yet powerful:
To ensure that every client feels good when they walk in—and even better when they leave.
But what truly sets Urban Rootz apart isn’t just the outcome—it’s the experience.
Jada has carved out a distinct lane in the natural hair industry, specializing in loc care and repair, loc styling, coloring, and adornments. Her work reflects both technical mastery and artistic expression, honoring the beauty and individuality of each client.
With a focused commitment to excellence, Urban Rootz is currently dedicated exclusively to loc services. Jada is not accepting new loose natural clients or offering added hair services, allowing her to maintain the quality, consistency, and intentional care her brand is known for.
This level of specialization isn’t limitation—it’s refinement.
And it’s part of what makes the Urban Rootz experience so trusted.
Beyond the styles, there’s something deeper happening inside Urban Rootz.
There are conversations.
There are breakthroughs.
There are quiet moments of healing.
Over the years, Jada has become more than a stylist—she’s become a listener, a witness, and a safe space for the real-life journeys her clients carry with them.
Each appointment holds a story.
Each transformation reflects something internal.
And it’s from these lived experiences that something bigger is being born.
Expanding beyond the salon, Jada is stepping into a new role as host of the upcoming podcast series:
“Rooted Conversations: Stories of Identity, Healing, and Transformation Through Hair.”
This series will bring the powerful, unfiltered stories from her chair to a wider audience—featuring real clients sharing their journeys of becoming. From life transitions and personal healing to identity and self-discovery, the podcast will explore the deeper connection between hair and life.
Because at Urban Rootz, hair has never just been about appearance—it’s about alignment.
In addition to the podcast, Urban Rootz will be the creative force behind an upcoming visual project:
“ROOTED: A Visual Story of Becoming.”
This lookbook will feature clients as models, capturing the beauty, diversity, and power of loc’d hair through editorial photography and storytelling. Each featured individual will share a glimpse into their personal journey—creating a timeless collection that celebrates culture, identity, and self-expression.
This is more than a beauty book.
It’s a visual archive of transformation.
Urban Rootz is now seeking clients and community members to be part of both the podcast and lookbook experience.
Selected participants will have the opportunity to:
This is an invitation to be seen—not just for your style, but for your story.
Casting details and submission information will be released soon.
What Jada has built is already impactful—but what she’s building next is legacy.
Urban Rootz is evolving from a salon into a storytelling platform, a cultural space, and a movement rooted in authenticity, care, and connection.
Because when people feel safe enough to be themselves…
transformation happens naturally.
And when those transformations are shared…
they inspire others to begin their own journey.
Whether you’re beginning your loc journey, maintaining your crown, or stepping into a new phase of life, Urban Rootz offers more than a service—it offers an experience that nurtures the mind, body, and soul.
Come discover what it means to be rooted.
