her story

​

I am Julie Ann Olsen, founder, independent luxury hairstylist, and intentional artist behind the chair in Indianapolis.

 

For over 17 years, I have worked in creative design and individualized service. But stepping fully into the beauty industry was a decision rooted in something deeper: belief. Belief that it is never too late to build something extraordinary. Belief that reinvention is powerful. Belief that every person deserves to feel aligned with the image they see in the mirror.

 

My 21-year-old daughter is a hairstylist.

She didn’t follow in my footsteps — she gave me the courage to create my own.

 

Watching her pursue her dream awakened something in me. It reminded me that passion does not expire. That legacy can move both directions. That sometimes the greatest inspiration comes from the very people you raised.

 

I am also a proud mother to my 15-year-old daughter, a dedicated cheer mom traveling to national-tier competitions, and a dog mom to English Bulldogs and a spirited Siberian Husky. My life is full — intentionally so.

 

Since 2020, I’ve called downtown Indianapolis home. I find inspiration walking city streets, admiring monuments, supporting local businesses, and immersing myself in live music whenever I can. Energy fuels artistry. Community fuels purpose.

 

And intention fuels everything I create.

 

Guests often describe me as an intentional stylist — someone who truly listens. That is the greatest compliment I could receive. Because hair is not just color. It is not just texture. It is not just a cut. It is identity, expression, confidence, and growth. It is how you move through the world. It is how you feel when you catch your reflection unexpectedly. It is deeply personal — and it deserves thoughtful care.

 

Rooted Crown was designed as a private, elevated studio experience for individuals who want more than an appointment. Here, consultations are collaborative. Color is customized. Haircuts are shaped with purpose. Every formula, every placement, every decision is made with long-term hair health and wearability in mind.

 

I specialize in:

• Dimensional blonding and lived-in color

• Custom balayage and modern highlighting

• Grey blending and seamless transitions

• Vivid, bold, and creative color

• Precision haircutting and personalized shaping

• Hair health-focused color design

• Scandinavian Head Spa Treatments

 

Luxury, to me, is not excess.

It is detail.

It is intention.

It is creating results that grow out beautifully and support your lifestyle — not compete with it.

 

Rooted Crown is for those who value refinement.

For those evolving.

For those ready to feel seen, heard, and elevated.

 

Because becoming is not a phase.

 

It’s a lifelong art form.

And I am honored to create alongside you.

her story

​

I’m Avree Ann Buis, an independent luxury hairstylist and artist behind the chair in Noblesville, Indiana, and now Downtown Indianapolis.

​

My love for hair began at a very young age, inspired by my aunt, who has not only been an inspiration to me, but continues to be one of my greatest mentors in the beauty industry. I feel incredibly lucky to have grown through this journey surrounded by people who have shared their knowledge, creativity, and love for this craft with me.

​

There is no greater joy to me than collaborating with the talented people who have become part of my journey and continuing to learn, create, and grow along the way.

You can find me behind the chair in Noblesville, and now on Tuesdays at Rooted Crown in Downtown Indianapolis. Getting to create in my mom's space and share this part of my journey with her is something that means so much to me.

​

When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll usually find me taking a walk with my fiancé and our silly, floppy English Bulldog, Penelope, or Peanut for short. I love spending time with my family, and one of my favorite little things lately has been listening to my fiancé learn to play the bass guitar.

​

Whether you’re dreaming of bold color, lived-in color, or simply a fresh new look, I want to take your vision and make it feel completely yours.

​

I specialize in:

• Blonding and lived-in color

• Custom balayage and modern highlighting

• Grey blending and seamless transitions

• Vivid, bold, and creative color

• Hair health-focused color design

​​

I can’t wait to meet you, hear your vision, and create a little beauty together.
