Katie Statler, Owner & Stylist
After graduating from cosmetology school in 2006 with a cosmetology license, Katie pursued her cosmetology teacher’s license and attended beauty school. She’s Brazilian Blowout Certified a Mirabella Makeup Artist and specializes in Pure Extensions and Cinderella Hair Extensions and Redken Products.
In May of 2010, she opened Roots and fulfilled her passion to style hair. When she is interacting with her guest it doesn’t feel like work when you consider them friends. Katie loves to give them a new cut or color to make them feel confident and beautiful. However, the love for her career and business is in the personal relationship and conversation they have. She wants each guest to feel exclusive and important to her. She loves when a customer loves their hair so much that they post a picture of their new style and it was taken in the salon bathroom salon parking lot! She knows they love it if they cannot wait to post a pic! Katie’s mission is to help her guests experience life better lived – with better hair- ready to leave the salon inspired and ready to achieve their dreams. She took a leap of faith for her dreams and had so many guests who were more than supportive of her, so in return Katie wants to encourage others to be whom she believes they can become!
Outside the salon, her life revolves around her husband and 2 little boys. They love the outdoors; camping, fishing and kayaking. Their favorite place to escape to is the beach.
Katie has been a local Marion girl her entire life. Shopping local, supporting local, she loves to see the little town grow with new business. Roots is Katie’s dream and her bucket list. She wants to be different; to stand out. Katie doesn’t want to offer a typical “job” with typical “employees” and typical “clients.” She wants special, personal and enjoyable.
