Nice location with ample parking. My boys were in need of a haircut and we just so happen to be in Mira Mesa for vacation. Five stars for Ian goldfingers! He cut both my boys mops, 16 yo & 7 yo. It was the first time someone other than a family member cut my 7 yo hair and Ian made him so comfortable. Not a tear or complaint the entire time. They're looking frrresh, thanks to Ian. I loved the ambiance of the shop and everyone really made us feel welcome. They have snacks for patrons. Huge Mahalos to Ian and the Ritual Experience. read more

Great experience, with folks who care about their craft. Thank you to Brandon and Vivian for taking their time and considering what would work best for me. Brandon gave me a cut that fit my hairstyle best, while Vivian gave a great wax and facial. She even included nose and ear waxing, which were needed and appreciated. I'll be coming back! read more

My son decided it was time to cut his locs off. After much research I found The Ritual Experience and booked an appointment with Brandon. He happened to have a same day appointment available which was great since we had just cut the locs off the night before. We got to the shop and was greeted by Brandon who didn't hesitate to make us feel welcomed. There was no wait so my son sat in the chair and Brandon got to work. Everyone in the shop was very friendly and welcoming. I sat in the waiting area where I think I was hit on by a decorative skeleton who had its arm around me the whole time. Needless to say the Halloween decorations were pretty fun. By the end of the appointment, my son was very happy with his new cut, felt comfortable in the chair and was excited to show off his new look. We are grateful for Brandon's care and expertise and look forward to going back in a few weeks for yet another great experience! read more

This barbershop is fantastic, especially for kids. They always do an amazing job cutting my son's hair and make the whole experience comfortable and stress-free. The barber, Conrad is patient, kind, and really takes the time to make sure the cut looks great every time. My son leaves happy and confident, and the haircut always grows in nicely. It's clear they care about their work and their customers. We wouldn't go anywhere else--highly recommend, especially for parents looking for a barber who's great with children. read more

Definitely will be my main barber shop. Everyone was welcoming and chill. I received a haircut from Mr. Goldfinger himself I was very impressed on how quick he got me right. His experience in the industry definitely shows. Thank you guys for all you do. read more

Second time here. Amazing for my son's confidence. Wife we his cut and she was completely sold on the place

The ritual experience truly lives up to the name. My son grew out his hair for six years to donate; david made sure his big transformation cut was done step by step and inch by inch to ensure he was happy with every decision. Now he goes back for his regular cuts and can't imagine going anywhere else because when he walks in, he feels like he's with barbers who sincerely care about helping him feel like he looks amazing. Couldn't recommend more or ask for a better shop in our community. read more

This place is a VIBE!!! My son has been seeing Conrad for the past three months after we moved to this area, and let me tell you, he's amazing!! His attention to detail and skills are always on point. I love how my son looks after his appointments. read more

Ian is the man ! Very professional and gave me a clean cut. He's very talkative and engages with his clients really well. I wasn't too sure how I wanted my haircut yet he nailed it perfectly, he talked me through what he was doing and gave suggestions. Definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get a fresh cut. Apart from him the rest of the staff were friendly greeting me when I walked in and also wishing me a good day as I left. The place is clean and cozy, with snacks and beverages to grab from as you wait. 10/10 experience read more

Quality service and great customer care! They are always professional and great pricing!

Came for a beard line up, haircut but left even better with a facial and waxing done by Vivian that was exceptional. Brandon is a master of his craft and never fails to deliver. I've come here for years at this point and it has consistently been the best barber I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. The addition of Vivian is the icing on top. read more

I have been getting my hair cut by Viven for over a decade. She does an amazing job working with my thinning hair. I've gotten many compliments at work. She has also trimmed my beard on occasion leaving it looking sharp. She's also waxed hair in a mole on my back and the grow back much more slowly than shaving. Thanks Vivien! read more

Service is great, quality of my haircut is excellent! I would recommend this barbershop/salon to everyone. read more

My haircut sucked. These guys are more interested in themselves than their customer's hair. Fools spend more time watching bad tv shows than attending to their clientele. Best thing I can say is my hair was cut. I won't be back. Also, don't fall for the Vagaro b.s. - it's a way they can make sure you pay even if you'd rather cancel once you get there... read more

They were on time and it's nice that they offer treats and drinks for their customers. Absolutely the best! They pay attention to detail!

Dre has been giving me amazing haircuts since my much needed pandemic cut. I had grown out a messy beard, and was planning to shave it all off, but Dre insisted giving him a chance to make it look good, and he delivered big time! Now having a beard is a full on part of my identity! He always does a great job cutting my hair which has me feeling very confident as I walk out. The Ritual Experience is a very comfortable and vibey space with couches, tv's, and snacks while you wait. Scheduling an appointment online is super easy, and they usually have plenty of different time slots throughout the week to best work with my schedule. They also have an adorable dog named Rosie that is super sweet and adds to the great energy in the room! Overall, I highly recommend The Ritual Experience if you are looking for an amazing haircut from very experienced and friendly barbers! read more

This was my first time here, the ambiance is fantastic they took me as a walk in. I was just getting my midburst fade touched up, didn't know it was going to be 45 bucks for a 15 min hair cut. It did take 45 mins but mostly because they were in the middle of watching a movie and talking about while cutting my hair. I also noticed website said $5 off first time hair cuts which I didn't get, but I guess that's my fault for not checking first. read more

This place is amazing! The VIBE, the way it makes you feel like home, the amazing people there that treat you like family. Brandon made me look 10 years younger! Appreciate the clean cut and the VIP experience. Highly recommend! read more

I brought my boys in to see Conrad and he's amazing!! His attention to detail and skill are evident in the time and care he puts into every haircut. From my son - I think he did a very good job and I really like my hair cut read more

I had a great experience here! I came in looking to shave my locs off and get a fresh look. I didn't know to much about how to style my hair, but Brandon got me right! I told him a few things and he did a great job! I didn't know what to expect after cutting my hair because I've had my locs for about 15 years, but all of my family and friends love my new look and it's all thanks to Brandon! Highly recommend this spot, great vibes and energy from everyone in the shop! Thank you Brandon! read more

Sharpest cuts in SD and convenient to set appointments on the app. This is a side fade with a part I got from Dre. Great barbershop vibes every time. read more

The Ritual Experience - This is a side fade with a part I got from Dre. - Barbers Near Me - San Diego, California

If I could give this spot 10 stars, I definitely would. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was chill, relaxed and comfortable but still professional. Conrad and Dre each cut one of my boys (9 and 7 years old) and could not have been nicer or interacted better with them. 10/10 for sure. Brandon (the owner) was cutting hair when we arrived, but still took a moment to welcome us, offer refreshments and thank us for coming in. Don't let any of that overshadow the haircuts though, because those are also above and beyond. We live in East County and have tried a number of barbershops, all with different pros and cons, but The Ritual Experience is top notch and we'll be going back, regularly. read more

Finding a great barber is hard, but every barber at the Ritual Experience is ! Thank you Brandon for the years of excellent cuts and service. It's been a joy to see your business grow over the years and see the smiles come and go as they get the best cuts in town while relaxing in your quality comfortable chairs. Nothing but VIP service here. I'll be back soon for my next line up. read more

I have been with Shay since 2017, and have not looked back! Shay has been a staple to my look through the years and without her, I don't think I would ever be fully satisfied with any other haircut or barber. With the signature drop fade, blended sides and textured top, nothing has me feeling cleaner and fresher than a cut from Shay. Shay was a barber turned family and that's all due to her attention to detail to both her craft and all clientele that sits in her chair. She is open to feedback and constantly finding ways to perfect her game. Iron Sharpens Iron: Brandon's energy is infectious and creates an atmosphere in the shop that many will feel welcome to. You know the VIBES: This shop is the definition of a man's place to kick back, relax, enjoy great company, laugh and get you feeling good again! read more

Great haircut, exactly what I was looking for, thanks David! Highly recommend this place!

Shay has been cutting my hair for over 2 years, but having her at The Ritual Experience has been such a blessing for me with it being so close to home. You know you've found your barber when my fiancé(now wife) says "Shay is going to be doing your hair for the wedding right?!" Every time I get a haircut, coworkers are always saying "damn what a clean fade, whose your barber" and my response is always "well let me tell you, best one I've ever been to". The shop atmosphere and ambience feels like you're amongst friends and family. Even found myself just hanging out with my friends because we scheduled our appointments around the same time and it is always a good time. Brandon the shop owner is very dope as well and professional. Find myself talking with him even about life as well as future plans and suggestions on how to handle things that I'm currently dealing with. You definitely get what you paid for, not only in the quality of the haircuts but also in the quality of the relationships you will build here! read more
