Cassy Wallace
The woman behind the vision for Native Roots, Cassy Wallace, a former stay-at-home mother, saw a unique opportunity to own a salon in Central Oregon. She and her husband partnered with her then-hairdresser to purchase Apollo, which became the now-recognized Native Roots after a luxurious remodel. After a short time of ownership, Cassy made the decision to enroll in beauty school because she saw the way people felt after getting a fresh haircut or spa service and she wanted the ability to perform those services as well. Now, she does blonding and root touch-ups for everyone who wants it, from children to the elderly - with a focus on empowering everyone through their unique beauty. When she's not at the salon or out selling real estate, she enjoys riding dirt bokes, boating, and riding horses. She's also a big University of Oregon fan - Go Ducks!

What our clients are saying...

Robert just gave me the very best color and cut of my life.  He analyzed my current hodge-podge of natural and chemical color, thoughtfully created a multi-faceted strategy, and executed it beyong my expectations.  Everyone in the salon was impressed.

Ruth and her gals came to our house on a Saturday morning to do hair and make up for our daughters wedding. I cannot say enough good things about how awesome they were... Would give them 10 stars if we could. Thank you Ruth – you and your girls were amazing!
