    The areas where the dye stayed on longer appear to have the best color you cant see any color in the back or sides
    Nydia T.

    Kristin is a nice person but it's important I speak my truth so let me explain why I'm rating a 1 when its really a 0. To begin with I had to make 2 separate appointments one for a rezo cut and the other for color. Day 1 rezo cut: a good amount came off but I had a decent sized ponytail 5 inches which was important to me, it felt great and healthy which my hair already was (I had virgin hair) but it felt lighter you know. She said she'd see how it looks tomorrow before color and maybe add some more layers for volume in back if needed, she wanted to see what my hair would do. When I went home and played with it, I realized it wasn't very well shaped, it was almost boxy and was flat on the back so when I went in for color on day 2 I brought a photo of a rezo client from the rezo salon in Jersey and asked to have same style, very nice shape, looked even, plus she similar curls. She said since my hair was dry she'd cut first despite her having put products in it the day before and it wasn't the same as the day before when she asked my hair be free from all product for my cut but she assured me it was fine and I'd have a ponytail. Well before I knew it there was a freakin mountain of my precious curls on the floor and she said since it's dry it won't shrink but let's be real this isn't my first time cutting my hair and I was very nervous like EVERY curly haired person knows it always shrinks, my hair looked horrible. I was too shocked and embarrassed to cry! I couldn't do anything my hair was already on the floor!!! She started to color my hair and when I asked about the balayage my whole head like we agreed the day before she tells me it would be too much to maintain and I didn't have time for that cause I got little ones like I'm paying and I sent photos of what I wanted done I literally saved for this (for reference my hair is black 1 and we went 4 shades lighter but essentially it's still brown with reddish undertone) so she gave me "baby lights". So how did the color come out? Besides the front top of my head with some color difference my hair took no other color on the sides or back it's still is all black with my grays she didn't cover like she said she would. So I was robbed! I didn't get what I asked for, provided an example of in regards to color and shape and what's worse I paid $380 ($180 1st appointment rezo cut with "education" which besides weird names for steps to cleanse and curly girl products I already knew to use for my hair it was unnecessary and day 2 the massacre of my hair she charged $200 for coloring, the mop cut was "free") I've never had hair above my shoulders or right below my ears and I absolutely HATE IT! I look like a damn poodle and my curls are not popping she didn't care for the shape! it's as if I got 2 completely different people to do my hair. She said she wasn't going to charge for cutting my hair again but Im sure that's due to her knowing she ruined my beautiful curly hair and she knew it didn't look right but she made it worse rather than fix her mistake. I can't do anything to my hair at this length, it's legit a puff ball, my ponytail is a tiny numb (almost an inch) with most of my curls falling out toward my neck cause there is no length. When she tried to put it in a ponytail she realized it was too short and said "you can do a cute messy ponytail with hair on your neck, I think that's cute" she also said "it'll grow" like WTF?! I feel ugly, devastated, upset and regret not stopping her when I realized she was going scissor happy but I trusted her as a fellow curly but honestly that doesn't mean they're an expert on your curls. I really wanted to do something special for myself after 2 babies and all the changes, I told her how I planned take some nice photos with my boys but now I just want to wake up from this nightmare. I can't even do frenchbraids that's how short my hair is, I have to braid my head in 4 sections. This was my unfortunate experience as soon as I got in my car I cried my eyes out and still am as I write this review. Pray my hair grows back fast and I'll never cut it again just trims!!! To my fellow natural curlies RUN, invest going to a legit salon where other experts can provide input or actually give you what you want. To my Afro Caribbean and Latina sisters she didn't know anything about protective styles, actually advised against it. She swears all curlies need are 4 products shampoo, conditioner, "frizz killer" and gel. Well my hair actually does best with leave ins, foam mousse and light creams and no gel! So save your beautiful curls. Find someone that actually knows about all curl types, is actively doing curly hair of all types, if they have curly hair it actually looks good and most importantly helps the customer achieve the look they want not what the stylist thinks is best or feels like doing or how about owning up to messing up someone's hair.

    I love these curls!!!

    This past year and even today, it's been a healing process for me and just learning to love ALL of me. I wanted to start the year with the real me, the curly me. I wanted to embrace my curls, because again this is a part of me! I just didn't know how to care of my curls or style my hair. Thanks to Kristen King, from Ringlets and Roots, she taught me how to take care of my curls and she revived them! I don't think girls with curly hair ever got as much attention, but in her salon I felt like a curly queen! She is an expert with curly hair and only cuts/styles curly hair. I'm absolutely in love with my curls! Swipe right to see my before pictures!

    Before: flat, dry curls :(

    Kristen is an amazing curl stylist with years of experience! I trusted her with my curls and I was not disappointed! My hair has been totally transformed since my first cut with her, she really knows her stuff!

    Lemme tell ya...Stephanie saved my life…read more Two weeks ago, I had another salon do my hair since my best friends wedding is quickly approaching. What resulted was a complete disaster, especially since she was only supposed to touch up my roots. To her credit, the other gal wanted to fix it but I didn't want to risk her damaging my normally very curly hair with more chemicals. So once I got home from that appointment, I immediately searched for someone else and Stephanie was lovely enough to squeeze me in Two weeks later and here I am. My appointment was first thing this morning and lemme tell you... I'm LOVING my hair! She blended in the choppy roots, killed the brass and suppressed the 90s vibe it was channeling. "Elated" doesn't describe how happy I truly am! She's awesome, great personality and definitely makes time fly when you're sitting in her chair! Do I recommend her? ABSOLUTELY! Speaking of which, I'm gonna book another appointment with her now that I remember...

    After moving to Salinas, I was desperate to find a local hairdresser that could color my hair using…read moreno ammonia permanent hair color (like INOA brand). I contacted Stephanie via Yelp, and she replied to me within an hour. I was so excited to know that Stephanie does this type of coloring, and so I made an appointment. It was a year ago, in January 2018. Since then, I've been seeing Stephanie every 6 weeks as I need to constantly color my grey hair. Every time it is a pure joy and pleasure! She listens carefully what I'd like to do with my hair, from a haircut to a specific color, and suggests what would be the best. Stephanie never promises to do something that can't be done. Another great thing is that the time allocated for the haircut is purely yours! Stephanie doesn't take multiple clients at a time, her attention is 100% yours all the time. I always look forward next appointment with Stephanie, as I know it would be a quality time with interesting conversations, and in the end I will leave her salon with an amazing haircut and a great hair color! P.S. Tip - look for Stephanie's Instagram, to check most recent photos.

    I've been to this salon 3x. The first being the reason I came back twice more. My first experience…read morewas wonderful, they were able to squeeze me in before an appointment, which I was extremely grateful for, they gave me exactly what I asked for and that set the tone for me, finally I found a salon I will love! Or so I thought.. I came back a second time after being assured over the phone they could take us in, great! We're on our way! Mind you we live 35 min away. I come in with my daughter, only one of the ladies was available as soon as we walked in, fine I'll wait, no big deal. After sitting and waiting for the other person to be free (which wasn't long after we arrived) she proceeded to ignore me sitting there, walking past me MULTIPLE times, being reassured by the lady cutting my daughter's hair that they'd be right with me, and then after an hr I am told that they'd had an appointment and didn't have time for me, I understand an appointment take precedence over a walk in, but then why make me wait just to be told no?! STILL, I came back again! Trying to give it yet ANOTHER chance, this time being considerate of THEIR time and making an appointment. I show up for my appointment 10min early, she is still with her current client, no big deal, I'm early. Waiting, waiting, waiting and yes WAITING, I was barely acknowledged when I walked in, and then proceeded to be ignored while the stylist went well past MY scheduled appointment, not once offering any reassurance that she would be right with me, talking and taking her time and completely being inconsiderate of MY time. 20min PAST my scheduled appointment and STILL she talked and laughed even inviting another employee into the conversation further prolonging the other person's appointment and completely ignoring me and my time. Unless they know you personally and have built a relationship with you, don't bother coming here, you'll be completely ignored and made to feel completely irrelevant. I don't make it a habit of writing reviews, even when I've left feeling less than satisfied, however when I try so hard to give a business the opportunity to keep me coming back and they continue to give me reasons not to come back, I have to voice my experience. And no, I wasn't a Karen or rude, I simply walked out.

    They could stand to bring more honest, instead of just wanting the money and uncaring to the…read moreoblivious incorrect order of service. I was ordered hair extensions in the the wrong color, and the installation was a horrifying mess. All this for an overpriced, didn't receive a whole $250 of service given with that $550 total I paid into this mess. Look below at the before photos and the after Rosie, the salon worker, got a hold of my hair photos. Bad business! Never again!
