I got the lived in luxury from Timberlee and absolutely LOVE it! She is not only very talented but also fast, it is genuinely my favorite hair I have ever had. I have tried 2 other salons in the area and they were fine, but the service I got here was really great and I will be returning! She was very kind and easy to talk to as well, and appointments at 5pm are very convenient. read more

Love everything about this salon. Everyone is so kind and professional. Timberlee always goes above and beyond. I always leave feeling FABULOUS! read more

Charged $250 for a haircut when I requested a haircut and color. The owner and salon said I only scheduled a color. Ridiculous. I have never been back to this salon. read more

Kara did an amazing job on my cut and style! Wonderful experience overall. I will definitely be back

Love my haircut with Andrea and would definitely revisit! My appointment started on time and lasted about 30 minutes for a simple haircut and style. I enjoyed the experience but would recommend they serve mini bottled water vs. tap water. My hair has more bounce and volume with the added long layers. The style is super flattering too. 10/10. read more

Ritual The Salon - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Milton, Georgia

I absolutely love Sarah Crimi atThe Ritual Salon. Previously, I have been a stylist/salon hopper, not ever finding one that didn't take eight hours or didn't provide consistent service, but I know exactly the serviceI'm going to get consistently at The Ritual Salon. Sarah has so much experience and innate knowledge when it comes to hair. Not to mention, I love her personality, and always enjoy the time, which I should mention is very minimal, considering I get either full or partial, highlights all over and a full haircut and style in right at two hours. I also love that she offers early morning appointments, like 8 AM, so it's not interfering with my entire day! Really, can't praise Sarah @ ritual enough! Definitely check them out, I'm sure you'll be a customer for life. read more

I've been going to Ritual and seeing Sarah C. for several months now. My hair is fine and short and its always hard to fine someone that knows how to cut hair like mine. Plus, I've also been trying to get my hair healthy again after having more than normal hair loss due to stress. Sarah has helped me to get my hair back on track and its looking so much better. And she's super cool, too. read more

I've been going to this salon since they opened. Lauren and her team are wonderful. If you're looking for salon, you definitely have to check this place out! read more

Landis is a queen! She saved my hair from its brassy disaster and gave me everything I asked for and more! After spending four years in Atlanta trying to find someone to do my hair, I've finally found my person! The salon is also beautiful and everyone was friendly and helpful ;) 20/10!!!! read more

I love bringing inspo pics and then getting her fun twist on how to make it perfect for my skin tone and complexion. She is the sweetest person and makes you feel like you are just one of her girlfriends. Can't recommend Landis enough and you will definitely leave loving your hair! read more

EDIT: As I mentioned earlier, the staff on the phone gave the wrong information. Even with this miscommunication, it's unfortunate to see that the salon take no accountability- as I would not have booked this appointment if I knew. The policy which they mention isn't posted on the website and it is sent only after you book/are charged for the appointment (helpful, right?). The credit is pretty pointless since I don't visit Atlanta often. So again, if you're making an appointment there, hopefully this review saves you some frustration read more

EDIT TO REPLY TO OWNER: I think the point of my review is getting lost in the shuffle, I acknowledge I was late to the appointment, and that is my fault. But what i cannot accept is how rude I was treated because I was late. Your receptionist did not politely explain anything to me. She was short with me and rude. You can treat customers correctly and be lenient with them, while also protecting your stylists. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. Plenty of salons do it, yet your establishment hasn't been able to strike that balance. I stand by my earlier statements that there are a LOT of places to get your haircut, you might as well pick one that is a bit more human and understanding than this place. ORIGINAL REVIEW: While the haircut I received was fine (nothing to rave about for the price), the real reason you should avoid this salon is because the owner has no regard for actual customer service. She has a strict policy on appointments and if you don't follow their rules, they have no grace. I've spent hundreds of dollars at this salon, and the one instance where I had an issue with my appointment last minute, they charged me $65 and told me I was a no show when I was on the phone actively speaking with the rude receptionist, TRYING to show up. I offered as much flexibility as I could, and they just kept telling me I owed them money. I understand salons have policies to ensure the stylists get paid and a 15 minute grace period to showing up to an appointment, but sometimes life happens. People can get covid, be in traffic, get rear-ended, etc, and the last thing you want when you are in those situations is your literal hair salon nickle and diming you. This salon cares about money, not their customers. There's plenty of other places in the area that wont treat you like they treated me - save yourself the trouble. If you read other reviews my experience is not unique. My advice to management: be more human, be more flexible. read more

I love Ivy! She does an amazing job with haircuts and hair color. She is very nice and is insightful on helping you get your hair goals! She gave me the hair of my dreams. I've used black box color dye for a couple years now and wanted something different. She gave me a full balayage and it turned out wonderful! Cannot recommend her enough! I added a pic of my hair! read more

Ritual The Salon - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Milton, Georgia

Very disappointing service, and it wasn't cheap. I asked for ash blonde highlights with no warmth or gold tones, and I left with parts of my hair that hadn't lifted and were legitimately brassy yellow/orange. They agreed to redo it, but then turned my hair purple in places due to over-saturating it with toner. When I came back, the colorist mentioned that it had been difficult due to the fact that I had 4-5 months of roots; however, my natural color is like a level 7 (light brown/dark blonde) and I have had plenty of other colorists over the course of time who have been able to lift and blend much better with more root. It just wasn't a sophisticated use of color or technique. I paid $275 too, which is outrageous. I have paid less in places like Chicago and NYC, and they didn't mess up my hair. I ended up flying to my old colorist out of state to get it fixed. Would not recommend at all. read more

I have been "salon surfing" and came upon Sarah at Ritual after reading great reviews. I was sick of the drive to Buckhead and snooty stylists. Sarah is fabulous at color and cut and is additionally delightful to chat with during the process. Ritual The Salon has a great vibe and their staff is attentive and sweet. read more

The worst run salon and the rudest owner and receptionist I've ever encountered. While I understand cancellation policies and have no issue paying that, it was the attitude of the receptionist Cami that was shocking. Because of this, I also canceled an appointment schedule for weeks out and was told the 150 deposit would not be refunded. When the owner, Lauren, called she initially said she had a wait list, but then said she wouldn't refund the deposit because she couldn't fill the time ?? I rarely leave reviews on any business, but feel the need to warn folks about this place. Very bad business and horrible customer service. I feel sorry for the stylists who work in this environment. read more

Just moved here from LA, and you know how scary it can be to find your new hairstylist.... a friend (plus multiple people on an FB group) referred me to Sarah at Ritual and I am soooo happy with my cut!! Love her. read more

What a pleasant surprise! I literally stopped in without an appointment to see if someone could help fix my highlights from a bad job at another salon. Sarah took one look at me and knew just what it needed. She is a stylist from California with 20 years of experience and I was lucky enough to get her in between clients! Sarah is new to the area and eager to grow her business here in Alpharetta, she still travels back to LA monthly to service those clients as well. I highly recommend her!! read more

Two weeks ago I went in for my first appt with Sarah Crimi. From the moment I walked in, every stylist who saw me said hello and was very kind. Sarah was amazing to work with. She listened to what I wanted, and offered suggestions for what else was possible (a much more modern hair cut). Not only is Sarah great at her job, but she has a tremendous warmth about her. If you're going to spend hours in a chair getting your hair done, you want to be around someone who is going to make you comfortable and Sarah did just that. I'm so thankful that I found Sarah, and look forward to our next appt! read more

Lol only go if you can make it exactly on time and plan for traffic because if ur even 5 min late u will be getting charged 65 dollars.

Lauren is the best of the best. She is so talented with color, cut and hand tied extensions. Her salon is beautiful and they carry the best products! I've never been more happy with my hair! read more

Do you like to be pampered and made to feel treasured? Is self care important to you? Having a talented hair stylist is important and vital to looking good and feeling good. Ivy Hibberts is a stylist who listens to her customers and demonstrates a high degree of skill working with color and cut. She truly is a master at her craft-making her clients look fabulous!!! I have been with Ivy nine years-all the compliments I receive about my hair reflect Ivy's skill and talent. She is honest, professional and attentive to her clients desires-oh and did I mention, She has a great sense of humor. TREAT YOURSELF to the best-make an appointment with Ivy. read more

I just relocated here from Delaware and did a lot of research before selecting a new salon. I was very impressed with the reviews and pictures I saw. I'm so happy that I picked Ritual, and Alicia to cut and color my hair. She was so sweet and gave great recommendations on new color that would compliment me well! I highly recommend her and Ritual! read more

Lauren the owner is a very talented colorist however she has talked poorly of current and past clients as well as past employees in the salon which I find very unprofessional. I also, feel that they don't appreciate or value their clients. read more

TLDR version - Lauren Blauser is an incredible stylist and a kind, genuine person. Book your appointment. Due to experiences in my past, I'll admit that I may have a bit of "bad haircut PTSD". ;) I have had 2 stylists move out of state within the past 5 years, and it took a full year without even a trim before I committed to an appointment at Ritual. I asked for recommendations from friends, searched Yelp reviews, and finally entered a hashtag on Instagram where I found Lauren's work. I called and booked an appointment for the following week with her. There was a bit of a scheduling snafu, and I actually didn't get my hair cut until 6 weeks later, but I don't even feel the need to go into detail, because Lauren more than made up for the inconvenience. I walked into the salon which is decorated in a simple modern style, and very clean. Lauren greeted me right on time and listened to my concerns during the consult. I wanted a pretty simple cut, with long layers, but minimal face framing. Any other time I have asked stylists to please avoid the "Jennifer Aniston" cut, because somehow I've walked out of salons so many times with that cut. I didn't even have to say it to her -- she said "I promise I won't cut your hair like Jennifer Aniston's" before I could even bring it up lol. She gave excellent suggestions on how she could cut and style my hair to give it more volume. I have parted my hair to the side for probably 5 years, and she showed me how much fuller my hair would look with a middle part, so we went with that. I gave her a heads up about my scalp psoriasis, and she used a shampoo and conditioner for scalp issues. Bonus -- they use Oribe products, which are in the mid to high range in cost, but worth it --life changing! The products she used smelled lovely -- nothing like the horrid T-Gel that I typically use every other wash. She also applied a scalp treatment, and was very knowledgeable about the ingredients. I can tell that she pays attention to her reps when they bring in new products. I felt that she used styling products specifically for my hair and scalp, and not just her own personal favorites. Another thing that I typically dread about getting my hair cut is the usual small talk. I am horrible at small talk, and prefer meaningful conversation. No small talk with Lauren-- we had a very enjoyable conversation about shared experiences, and she offered lots of food for thought on topics unrelated to hair. I felt like I was talking to a friend. It is apparent that not only is Lauren a pro stylist, but also a compassionate person who truly cares about others. I am very happy with my cut, and I will continue to go to Ritual in the future. Maybe I'll even go more often than once or twice a year now that I have met a stylist that makes me very happy! Thank you for boosting my confidence with my haircut, Lauren!! read more

Lauren is amazing! I love the energy at her salon. She's def worth the wait. Finally found my go to salon. They use top quality products. Cat washed and blow dried my hair for me. I loved how she asked me how I wanted it and went the extra mile to make it happen. Looking forward to my next visit. Thanks Ritual the Salon! read more

Andrea is the best! I've seen her a couple times now and she is awesome. Always look forward to the next hair day!

Lauren is the best stylist I have ever been too! I have been struggling with my hair color for years now, and have never been satisfied. I have gone to multiple people and they all gave me the same answer that what I wanted was impossible. Lauren, after a 10 minute consultation, got to work and perfected my hair after the first time seeing her!! I have been seeing her for almost a year now and am so happy I found her! If you want beautiful and healthy hair go to Lauren! read more

This is the salon that the Alpharetta/Milton community has waited 20 years for! Modern, clean, and conveniently located on Windward Parkway right by the drive-thru Starbucks (bonus for early morning appointments!) I was a new client when this location opened and owner Lauren has made me feel like I have been a part of the Ritual Salon family for years. She takes the time to ask if I have had any issues with styling or products from the last visit, and suggests techniques to combat my nemesis, the front bangs cowlick. Her color is always spot-on, and I LOVE that once I sat down in her chair and she said "your color looks great let's just tone it this time" without feeling the need to charge me for a full head of highlights when she knew I didn't need it. As the salon has added new talent I have booked appointments for my three teenage daughters and we have all been extremely happy with the level of talent and service. If you are looking for a talented, super-friendly, honest team of hairstylists, look no further than Ritual The Salon. read more

Lauren and her team are amazzzzing! Expert consultation, followed up by the perfect color and cut. Finding that "perfect" shade was a challenge before finding Ritual salon!

I love watching what she creates for other people too! It's like art! read more

Such a wonderful experience! I came to this salon for the amazing reviews I heard about them, and they did not disappoint! I left here so happy and satisfied. Lauren did my hair and she did an exceptional job! I wanted baby lights and wanted them to be very subtle so that they look natural. She knew exactly what I wanted and how to work with my hair! My hair came out even better than I imagined! I'll definitely be coming back and becoming a regular! So glad I finally found someone who understands my hair! read more
