I used ritual for my wedding hair and makeup and it may have been the most seamless part of wedding planning for me. Communication and planning with ritual was very easy and prompt. Nataly is a wizard with hair and did exactly what I asked. Brittany is so fun to talk with and did a great job on my makeup both times, while listening to my feedback on personal preferences (as someone who doesnt wear makeup on the regular this is very important). Best of all, it lasted all day and night! read more

I cannot recommend Ritual salon enough! Natalie, who coordinated both my trial and wedding day, was amazing to work with. Her communication was incredibly fast, she was organized, and she made the entire planning process so easy and stress-free. Kiana did the hair for my bridal party, and she was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone looked and felt beautiful, and every hairstyle turned out perfectly and lasted all day. Florencia did our makeup, and it was absolutely flawless! She listened to exactly what we wanted, and every makeup look was stunning and lasted all day as well. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they were also so much fun to work with. They were the ultimate hype girls, kept the energy positive and exciting all morning, and made getting ready such a memorable part of our wedding day. They arrived right on time, were professional, friendly, and made the entire experience seamless and perfect! read more

Response to the owner : The conversation was via phone for a full highlight . So no you would not have a request for a full highlight in text. The Text messages I do have, are confirmed appointments that changed three times by the salon . The text doesn't say partial highlight nor full highlights for that matter. The only scene caused was by Ashlee berating me for saying I booked a full highlight . She scolded me like a two year old demanding respect . If anyone in the salon was uncomfortable it was because of her . You weren't there. Ashlee made cry . The whole thing was uncomfortable and awkward. I would be equally embarrassed as a salon Owner to say you back up your stylist 100% considering the photos I posted . Any decent stylists would admit the cut was less than acceptable and offer to fix it . I'm just. Baffled on how you're proud to have that horrendous hair cut as proof of stylist work . Apparently the bar is pretty low for the work produce in your salon. read more

Matthew Benson is a wizard. I have very fine, thin, soft hair that never seems to grow as long as I'd like, and it's been years since I've had a haircut I truly loved. Most cuts either fall flat or just don't work, and over time I started feeling like I hated my hair. I stopped doing much with it because nothing ever felt right, and that doesn't feel good when you don't feel your best. Matthew changed that completely. He understood exactly what my hair needed and gave me a cut that feels effortless, looks great, and actually makes me happy when I look in the mirror. For the first time in years, I'm genuinely excited about my hair. I couldn't be more grateful. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!! Austin has been doing my hair for 6 plus years and I would recommend her to everyone ! Everyone at ritual salon is amazing . I have recently worked with a few other stylist while Austin was out and while everyone has their own style I was pleased and overly happy with how everyone made it so easy to adjust to new stylists . Ritual Salon is inviting, creative and an amazing experience I look forward to every time . read more

Ashlee is a sweetheart and really knows her stuff! I'm challenged when it comes to anything aesthetic. I use the wrong terminology and have difficulty explaining what I want. Ashlee took charge and guided me right towards what would look best, while giving me exactly what I wanted!! My head is shaped like a bowling ball.. the layers she cut in actually elongate my face!! I'm very pleased with the cut and the overall experience. Thank you Ritual! read more

I was married on June 6th of this year and had the MOST incredible experience with Ritual Salon! Firstly, Natalie made booking with them incredibly easy, flexible and was so attentive throughout the whole process. I was lucky enough to have Melissa (hair) and Cheyenne (makeup) for my hair and makeup team! They were both so sweet, so accommodating, talented, professional, fun and cared very much about the look I was going for. I felt in the best of hands, and felt absolutely beautiful on our wedding day. I truly cannot recommend Ritual enough, you will not regret booking with them!!!! read more

After going to a salon at Mission and Highway 12 several times (because I really liked the owner ) hoping to get a good haircut I ended up coming home trying to touch it up myself each time and it never looked great. I know how the person I had before I moved here cut my hair and I did not see the same skill when it came to my haircuts. My hair is curly and frizzy with different textures in different spots and very difficult to cut. I've actually only found one place where she could cut my hair and followed her until I moved up here to Santa Rosa. Thank God I tried this Salon and found JJ. I picked her from some of the photos that were shown of different cuts and although she is young she is very talented and funny and entertaining and the second person EVER who can cut my difficult hair! Every time I get a haircut (about every 5 to 6 months) the price has gone up but it's still pretty reasonable. It may be because the owners encourage continued updated training which is fantastic and also the cost of living. Anyhow I am sticking with JJ! read more

This was my first time at Ritual Salon since reading all their raving reviews and I'm so glad I booked with them! I was in need of a long overdue haircut and had been hoping to find someone who could work their magic with both fine and thinned out hair (I had recent weight loss and with that a good amount of hair loss, too ). I was booked with Noelani for my cut and she was absolutely AMAZING! She was knowledgeable, gave me excellent advice and recommendations for styling my type of hair, and delivered 100% for what I asked for - curtain bangs with a little face framing and some layers to help give me back that volume I've been so desperate for. I also greatly appreciated her approach of 'starting small and can always cut more' as initially I was thinking maybe I wanted to go a little shorter but realized I wanted to keep more of my length than I thought! I am so in love with this cut and will absolutely be back here for her services. read more

I've been going to Ritual Salon + Style Bar for a while, and when it comes to blondes, there's one stylist who just gets it and who I am completely now faithful to - JJ. Seriously -she is the best! JJ is a legit blonde-magician. She gets my vision from the get-go, then works her magic so my hair comes out bright, fresh, and exactly how I imagined, but even better. Beyond her talent, she's hilarious, super chill, and radiates good vibes. Every time I'm in her chair, it's like I'm hanging out with my funniest, most stylish friend, which totally makes getting your hair done feel like a treat.

Ritual Salon is the BEST! I've been getting my hair done there since 2019 and the fabulous Natalie did my hair for my wedding! I wanted my hair to look like I stepped out of a whimsical fairy forest meets Meg from Hercules and Natalie delivered above and beyond!

This review isn't about the quality of the service. My hair stylist and makeup artist were amazing and I have no complaints about them. This is for the salon itself and for the front desk staff. I wrote to them requesting pricing for getting my hair and makeup done for my elopement and they quoted me $125 each service so $250 total. That is all the info they provided. I let them know I needed to be done at 11am and they said that's fine they would start at 9am. I decided to book. The day of I got my hair done first and then my makeup. Everything went well. I got a very simple hairstyle just curled and pinned back half up half down and a very standard makeup look. I got there right at 9am and they started around 9:10. I wrapped up hair around 10:15 and makeup around 11:10. When I went to pay the front desk staff told me that my total was $325. I was like ???? Why? I was quoted $125 per service. They very rudely said that it was because of the extra time my hair took. I mentioned nobody had told me about a time limit and the girl just goes "yeah..." I didn't have time to stay and argue so I paid the extra $75 I wasn't expecting and tipped and left but honestly this is UNACCEPTABLE. $75 for an extra 5-10 mins?? It's not like I asked for some crazy elaborate hairstyle. Why am I being blindsided after everything when I go to pay that it's actually an extra $75? I would have just booked somewhere else that was more in my budget. Not to mention then I get the receipt and it literally says $175 for hair and $150 for makeup and they both say 1 hour so I'm confused??? Terrible business model and rude front staff. My hair stylist and makeup artist were very kind though and none of it was their fault. EDIT: I literally said it was for an elopement and I get my hair is thick but it still only took an hour and 5 mins. Adding a photo of my first message. Also please tell me the difference if it was for a bday or elopement and I had the same service done? lol read more

Ashlee was truly the best hair stylist I have ever had. I came in saying the words "Risky" and "My wedding" in the same sentence and she gave me REALISTIC and classy options that made me feel so sure of what I was going to get. And she gave me exactly what she said she would. That takes so much experience- she's been cutting hair for 19 years. We chatted the entire time and I love her personality. I will be back to get my bridal cut just before my wedding. I left with more knowledge about my hair and a few products to make it glow. Love her!!! The music was good, the receptionist very sweet. I was offered a water and asked by someone else if I was helped, just to make sure. This is a high end salon! And I just want to say something because I was shocked by some of the reviews here: Tell the stylist what you would like to get, be detailed, ask what the price would be BEFORE THEY START. It keeps communication clear and hair stylist have to juggle a lot of things besides pricing. They have to give you the perfect cut, can't talk too little or too much, engage in active listening while using precision. If I was worried about pricing- I would make that clear when I sat down. In my case I was willing to pay whatever for what I wanted so I didn't have to. Just keep it real and stop blaming businesses for your lack of communication. Just a thought! read more

Came to Ritual to get partial highlights by Holly! I am amazed by her work, she did such a great job consulting with me what I wanted to walked me through each step. I initially wasn't sure if I wanted to do a honey brown balayage or if I want a lived in honey brown but Holly was able to make it happen with the coloring that best suited my skin tone. The salon was super modern and sleek and there were so many other salonist in the salon. I was also treated to a beverage during my hair coloring process. I would definitely come back for other hair services. Thank you Holly! read more

Matthew Benson has been cutting my hair every 6 or so weeks for several months, because I like a short fresh chin length bob. I've been changing my trim a little each time to figure out what I like best between the length and texturizing and every single time he interprets exactly what I'm asking for and delivers. The location is super convenient, downtown parking is easy, staff is friendly and I always look forward to my next appointment. read more

I've been a client of Ritual for quite some time now and I have never had a bad experience. Over the years I've seen various stylists for toners, haircuts and color corrections. The consistency this salon offers when it comes to services has kept me coming back. I normally book appts with the first available stylist. I always book my appts knowing that there is consistency in work here. Each stylist at this salon is talented and I have full faith in everyone. This amount of trust has been built through years of being a returning client. For my last two visits I had the pleasure of working with the talented JJ Janes. From the moment I sat in her chair I knew I had found my preferred stylist. JJ is not only such a fun person to be around but she is also very knowledge in her craft. This girl knows hair! She takes her time explaining and educating. I had a crash course 101 on my hair during my first appt with her. Her passion for hair sold me on trusting her to do a much needed color change I've been wanting to do for ages. Not an easy task after having a few years of box dye in my hair. For my second appt JJ worked her magic and took me from an dark brown botched box dye to a warm brunette. Not an easy task to take on but we were both equally excited to start. I truly enjoyed my appt and JJ's energy throughout this process - she is such a gem to work with and more importantly she saw the vision and delivered. 1000/10 for Ritual Salon per usual and A million/10 for JJ Janes read more

Thank you so much to the Ritual Bridal team for providing a 10/10 experience for myself, my bridesmaids, and my family on my wedding day! I received exceptional service from the moment I booked with Ritual. Natalie made the whole process seamless and kept me so organized. I absolutely loved working with Melissa for my bridal hair and makeup! She gave me the best care imaginable and made me feel so beautiful and confident for my rehearsal dinner and wedding. Amber and Genesis were so talented, efficient, and made sure all my bridesmaids and family felt confident for the day. They are the best in the business! Thank you!! read more

I had been a paying client at Ritual Salon + Style Bar and previously spent hundreds of dollars there, including $450 for partial highlights and a cut a couple of months ago. At that visit, the stylist scheduled me for a retouch one month later (I don't know why exactly given that I had spent around half a grant already but let's just say I trusted her). Two days before the appointment, they sent a text reminder stating that cancellation was free until 24 hours prior and that cancellations after that would be charged 100%. Unfortunately, I did not see the reminder in time. When I saw the follow-up message the morning of the appointment, I immediately called (30 minutes before the scheduled time) to explain that I could not make it and that I was about to go into my class. The first response I received was that I would be charged the full $250 service fee. There was no attempt to offer a partial late fee, reschedule, or extend any courtesy as a returning client , just immediate enforcement of the 100% charge. They then processed the charge to my card on file and sent a receipt listing it as "Custom Partial Lightening," even though no service was performed. I understand that salons have cancellation policies, especially for longer color appointments. However, I was disappointed by the lack of flexibility or goodwill. Most of their stylists are good, but management felt rigid and impersonal. Despite being a pricey salon, their service acumen leaves much to be desired. I told them on the phone that I no longer wished to return there and that our professional relationship was over. I then went into my class. They kept calling me, disrupting my class. (I need my phone on for emergencies since I have small children). I finally exited the classroom and picked up so I can tell them "please stop harassing me, I do not wish to be contacted by you anymore." Before I had a chance to block their number they (Angelica, the stylist who charged me $250 for a service I never received) had sent me a vulgar text bemoaning my "hostile" behavior. I guess telling them I was never going back to their salon constituted hostility. That the stylist, a person with whom I have no personal relationship used my private contact which was on file to send me unsolicited messages and lecture me on professional conduct was ironically the most unprofessional thing a hair salon has done before. The have all my information and card numbers on file. And each and every stylist in there apparently has access to that information, Fantastic. Live and learn? If you book here, be aware. Also, never protest or complain about anything. No Soup For YOU kinda place. I won't be returning. read more

I have been a loyal customer of ritual salon since they opened, every hair professional I've had has been amazing, but I fell in love with Amber S. She's my person and has changed my " hair life" my whole life I've had long hair and she helped me slowly cut away all that weight and work I've been dragging around. Everyone there is super supportive and smiling and just all around a great vibe to be apart of. If you haven't been I highly recommend trying them out. They also have a Sebastopol location for convenience if your not wanting to venture into downtown Santa Rosa. Shout out to the owners who took the leap and made one hell of a hair salon business!

I recently tried Ritual Salon + Style Bar for the first time to get my hair styled for a wedding. I made a reservation online a couple of weeks in advance for a Friday morning appointment. I selected the dry style for them to style my hair in 30 minutes. I did want more than just a style with hot tools and added in a braid. I didn't realize the style is just hot tools and nothing else so be sure to book that in advance as they seemed a little surprised and were booked back to back for style appointments. The salon is very modern, open and welcoming. Be sure to get there early to give yourself some time to find parking downtown and pay for parking before your appointment too! I thought the overall price and style turned out great! I would absolutely come back in the future and recommend them to everyone! read more

I had the absolute pleasure of working with the team at Ritual Salon + Style Bar for my wedding last month, and I cannot recommend them enough! From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and stress-free, thanks in large part to Delanie, the Wedding & Events Coordinator. She made planning and communication incredibly easy and was always available via email to answer my questions and help with any details. On the big day, Haley and Nataly were my dream team for hair and makeup. Nataly did an amazing job with my curly hair--something that's often a challenge at other salons. She was wonderful during both the trial and on the wedding day itself, and her kindness made the experience even better. Haley did my makeup for both days and was the ultimate hype woman! I was very upfront about wanting a natural, light makeup look, and she absolutely delivered, making me feel comfortable and beautiful. Along with Layla, Haley and Nataly also did hair and makeup for my eight bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law. Everyone was so happy with how they looked, and the morning was relaxed and fun. The whole team at Ritual Salon + Style Bar truly listened to our preferences and made sure everyone felt their best. Thank you so much to Delanie, Haley, Nataly, Layla, and the entire Ritual Salon + Style Bar team for making our wedding morning so special! read more

I've now had my 3rd appointment with Ashlee and I have never been happier. From figuring out the perfect cut, to adding highlights, and then another haircut and toner, she just gets it and gets what I want. For years I've been struggling with getting the right cut and color, and it literally took her one time to assess my hair type and explain what should be done to achieve the look I want. And she came through!!!!! I am so happy to have found someone with the skills and knowledge to take my hair from "ok" to FABULOUS!!! read more
