Our Story
Urban Roots Salon was born from a simple belief: everyone deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, and beautifully taken care of. Nestled on Florence Avenue in Downey, we've built a salon where the conversation flows as naturally as the styling.
Our team brings years of hands-on experience with protective styling, color theory, and precision cutting — but what truly sets us apart is the warmth you'll feel the moment you walk through our doors. No rushing, no judgment — just genuine care for your hair and your comfort.
Our Work
Every style tells a story. Here's a glimpse of what we create every day.
Kind Words
The best compliment is when our clients keep coming back.
I've been coming to Urban Roots for over a year now, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. The braids always last, and the team makes me feel so comfortable every visit.
Finally found a salon in Downey that truly understands my hair. The atmosphere is so welcoming and relaxing — it's my monthly treat. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great stylist.
My daughter and I both get our hair done here, and we love it. The team is patient, talented, and genuinely cares about making you look and feel your best. It's a gem in the neighborhood.
