The house, for Tybee IslandPage 01

Every service, on your side of town.

Every discipline below is available to Tybee Island guests — the same room, the same standards, and notes that follow you between visits.

Salt, humidity, and a full island week can pull blonde warmer than the photo on your phone. If you live on Tybee Island and the last color came out darker, brassier, or more orange than you asked for, Roots Southern Salon is the downtown Savannah Redken Color Salon built for lived-in color that grows out cleanly. We are at 310 East Bay Street in historic downtown Savannah, a short drive inland from Tybee Island and from neighboring Wilmington Island. Every service starts with a personalized consultation. First-time guests can take a virtual consultation before they leave the island, so the formula talk happens before anyone mixes a bowl.

Appointments are preferred and walk-ins are welcome. Guests coming off Tybee Island often want a blowout that still looks like itself after wind and sunscreen, or a color plan that does not demand a chair every few weeks. We match lifestyle and reference photos before promising a result. If you cannot tell whether an online menu price is the real total or only a starting rate, we walk through length, density, prior color, and chair time before color starts and confirm a written range for the package you actually booked. We also say the menu items out loud before mixing, and we pause if the plan starts to grow. A small face-framing request should not become an all-over you did not approve.

The women-owned team works with the L’Oréal family — Pureology, Redken, Mizani, K18, and Pulp Riot — to protect color, support healthy hair, and keep texture looking like yours. Guests from Pooler, Garden City, Port Wentworth, Richmond Hill, Effingham County, Hilton Head Island, and Bluffton make the same trip when they want a consultative color home rather than a rushed chair. Street parking, onsite parking, and lot parking are part of the visit; the entrance, parking, and restroom are wheelchair accessible, and we welcome LGBTQ guests. Call (912) 239-5181. Bring the photos. We will tell you what is achievable on your hair history, including when a lift should wait for bond repair instead of chasing platinum in one sitting.

How we work in Tybee Island

  • Balayage

    Island sun shows every stripe. Balayage at Roots is painted for lived-in color and dimensional color, with grow-out in mind so Tybee Island weeks between visits do not look like a hard line. We talk money piece, root smudge, and how often you actually want to sit in the chair before a brush goes in your hair.

  • Custom Hair Color

    Custom hair color here is Redken formulas, gloss, and toner matched to the photos you can live with on the island, not a surprise warm fill. If your last result drifted orange or too dark, the consult names what your history will allow this visit. A glaze can refresh tone between bigger color days without pretending it is a full redo.

  • Hand-Tied Hair Extensions

    Hand-tied hair extensions start with a consultation about volume goals, row count, and how you wear your hair in salt air and humidity. Lived-in color on the wefts should match the grow-out plan on your own hair. We will also talk move-up timing so the install does not fight your island calendar.

  • Blonding & Highlights

    Blonding and highlights for Tybee Island guests often means babylights, face-framing, and a toner that still looks cool after a humid week — or an honest no if your hair cannot take that lift yet. Traditional highlights and a money piece are different asks; we name which one you are booking so the finish matches the photo.

  • Gray Blending

    Gray blending is natural color and lived-in color, not a solid cap that flashes at the root the first windy walk on Tybee Island. We plan grow-out so blending stretches between appointments. If you are heading back toward your natural shade, we map that as a sequence, not a one-day cover-up.

  • Color Correction

    Color correction after a mismatched island visit starts with consultation and bond repair, not a promise to hit the photo today. Redken work on a correction is staged when the hair needs it. If the tone is warmer, darker, or more orange than you agreed, we talk what the next chair can fix versus what would fry the hair.

  • Precision Haircuts

    Precision haircuts here are face-framing and consult-led, including the trim you want when you are not ready for a full color day. Tybee Island guests who only need a cut should hear that plan confirmed before color talk expands. We will not shame a home trim; we will cut what you booked.

  • Brazilian Blowout

    A Brazilian blowout is a Brazilian treatment plus a blowout, and appointment preferred, because humidity on Tybee Island is the whole point. We set time on the books so you are not squeezed into a leftover slot. If you only wanted a blowdry, say so in the consult and we keep the service to that.

  • Bridal Hair Styling

    Bridal hair styling for guests staying on Tybee Island or coming in from Hilton Head Island and Bluffton is appointment preferred, with the blowout and updo plan locked before the morning of. Virtual consultation helps out-of-town parties set the look without a wasted drive. We stay with the agreed style, not a last-minute add-on stack.

  • Makeup

    Makeup is consultation and appointment preferred, whether you are dressing for a downtown Savannah evening or a weekend off the island. We match the hair plan so color and makeup do not fight. Walk-ins may be possible, but a timed makeup seat is the calmer path.

  • Bond Repair Treatments

    Bond repair treatments with K18 are for hair that feels dry after color or after too much sun and salt, not an automatic add-on. If integrity is not there for the lift you want, we recommend bond support or we refuse the unsafe pass. That conversation belongs in the consult, before the lightener.

Tybee Island questions, answered

Do I need to leave Tybee Island for a color appointment, or can I sort the plan first?

You come to us at 310 East Bay Street in historic downtown Savannah. First-time guests can book a virtual consultation so the formula, photos, and a written range are set before you drive in from Tybee Island.

Will salt and humidity wreck a new blonde before I get used to it?

Humidity and sun can pull warmth into blonde. We plan lived-in color, toner, and grow-out for island weeks, and we will say when a cooler target needs more than one visit instead of forcing an ashy finish that will not hold.

How do I know the online menu price is not just a starting rate?

Length, density, prior color, and chair time are what move a quote above the menu floor. We walk through scope before color starts and confirm the exact package, so a face-framing request does not quietly become a full highlight.

Can I get a blowout if I am only on Tybee Island for a few days?

Yes. Appointments are preferred and walk-ins are welcome. Call (912) 239-5181 and we will match you to an open chair rather than promising a color-correction window you do not have.
