Hannah Martin
I can remember being in love with hair since I was a little girl. Shortly after graduating high school, I went to Delmar College and graduated in 2019. Achieving a diploma in Hairstyling, and other achievements such as student of the month in April 2019, and May 2019.
I am continuing to build and expand my career as a stylist everyday in the shop.
I’ve always been obsessed with transformations and just seeing the confidence of my clients radiate after getting their hair done. Having great hair can change everything about someone look.
My favourite services to do are lived-in blondes, brunettes, and everything to do with long locks including long layered cuts. I also have a passion for vivid colors and fun placements. I look forward to expanding my education on hair extensions in the future!
I also love creating content surrounding hair and the work I do.
You can talk to me about anything and I will be an open book, and a friend to you. I can’t wait to welcome you at RootBar salon.

Chantel Sauve
Hi, I'm Chantel!
I have always had a strong passion for hairstyling. I started my journey into the hair industry at the young age of 17, and I have been a specialized colorist for over 17 years. In order to stay relevant with current trends, I have continued my education over the years with extensive cutting, color, and extension training.
I put a lot of focus into well-communicated consultations, as it's important to fully understand a client's wants and to educate clients on realistic expectations.
My passion truly falls with women's hair, from extensions and hair coloring to simple root touch-ups to highlights, balayage, and full-on color corrections.
I love the accompaniment of completing a big, drastic transformation.
I look forward to helping you reach your hair goals, and I can't wait to see you in my chair!
