I bring 18 years of beauty industry experience to the Salon. Specializing in bridal makeup and hair color, I have won the prestigious corporation makeover contest. I was also named Employee of the Year in 2013 and 2015.
I am one of only three American Board Certified Haircolorists in Western New York, all of us from the same salon. This took many hours of studying and testing to compete. I also hold certification in the Kenra smoothing system.
To further my education, I have traveled to N.Y.C., Nashville, Cleveland, Washington, D.C., and Jamaica. It has been my privilege to study under Vidal Sassoon’s protégé, Phillip Wilson as well as Matthew Swinney, L’ANZA's Global Creative Director and recipient of the 2016’s NAHA Hairstylist of the Year Award.
My goal is to excel in every aspect of our salon and to help put Root 39 Salon & Spa on the map. And hopefully, one day, bring home the coveted NAHA. (I am also a part of the Nationwide Wetbrush Sing-off Champions! You can look up the video via our Facebook page or Youtube!)

I have been a proud member of the Root 39 family since 2014! From appearance enhancement to fashion, I am passionate about helping people realize how beautiful they are.
As any good stylist should, I love expanding upon my education. I travel for classes and hair shows, bringing my new skills home to implement in our salon. I have been blessed with the opportunities to work side by side with and learn from some of the top artists in our industry.
At Root 39, I offer a wide variety of services, specializing in tape-in extensions, and blonding. However, nothing makes me happier than taking the time to get to know everyone that sits in my chair and build a relationship with them.
As of March 2025 my books are permanently closed. Any of my clients who need to contact me can do so at (716)599-0173, though no further appointments for current or new clients will be made.

Danielle
Front Desk
Hello everyone, my name is Danielle Visnesky & I am the full-time receptionist. I have worked for the salon for the past 6 yrs. as a former part-time evening receptionist, as well as cleaning for the salon. When an opportunity arose for full-time, I jumped at the chance. I had previously worked in a health care setting for 16+ years & needed a change. It has been the best move for me.
As the first person to answer your calls, I will be sure to provide you with a friendly voice & listen to what you're looking to have done. I will work with you to find the best stylist to suit your needs. If you have questions, I will try my best to answer them for you in a timely manner. You are a guest in our "home away from home" & I want you to feel as comfortable as possible. If you have any concerns, I want you to feel as though you can address them with me. We are always looking for ways to improve. Please give us a call if you haven't been here before. You won't regret it!
