The salon is cute and everyone I spoke with was friendly. Savannah is AMAZING!! We went from long and brown to short and blonde- I'm obsessed with my hair and have been getting nonstop compliments.

A word of caution! I enjoyed my experience at the salon the first time but something happened this past time. My blond highlights have turned orange, within just two weeks of the visit! I went in for my appointment the day before my vacation, and notified the salon as soon as I returned to the country, two weeks later. Because it was outside of their very short window (which is 24 hours...of course, before you'd know the color was going to tarnish!), they would not fix my hair at no cost to me. I would have to pay some $80 (on top of the $200 I already paid to get it done) to get the color corrected even though I have been coloring my hair blond for years and this has never happened. Of course, I'm aware that blond color tarnishes with time. But definitely not just two weeks in. :( Really disappointed in the recovery (or lack thereof); for this reason, I wouldn't return.

I've been going to Sharamey a long time. Thought about it the other day and I think it's been since 2015 or so. She's fantastic handling my back and forth hairstyle requests. Last weeks appointment, I decided I wanted to do something different and get a full balayage with a color glaze/gloss. We had done a half or so months ago because I'm so picky about my hair. Natural redhead, who has had bad experiences about just getting it cut. But I totally trust Sharamey and she it it out of the park. We went with copper and blonde that was toned toward a strawberry blonde. My hair looks amazing! I absolutely love it. Before and After

This place is AMAZING. friendly , nice vibe , very clean and chic ! My reason for coming in was I had my hair fryed ! My hair was so over toned literally gray , I went to this salon called " gala salon " on Cameron rd . The Chick Lizbeth RUINED my hair . I asked for a cute blond balayage and came out looking like doc from " back to the future " I couldn't go out looking like I had been electrocuted in public . So I called ritual salon .Luckily I got a last minute consultation with Tory . She is a professional ! I LOVE HER ! She got me in the next day , Five minutes into the appointment she was already washing out the toner, I could not believe it , she got me to the color I needed in less than a hour. Her hands are seriously a blessing ! I can't thank Tory enough .

4 hours can seem like an Eternity sometimes with particular clients. Like me. Unfortunately in my 30 yrs of having my hair Blonde I have never had this happen before now, my hair was burned off with bleach from SW at Mirror Mirror about 2 yrs ago, so I'm a nervous wreck when I get referrals for a new stylist. I was referred to Savannah from a girl from the gym. I've seen this girls blonde hair over a year now and she has always had great color. Poor Savannah had no idea what she was getting into, meeting me, however! She answered everything I asked, never showed frustration with me (that's what back rooms are for lol).. seriously though she was funny, kind and patient with me through the entire process until the end. Blondes in Austin, if you are looking for someone who understands Blonde Color and Toning plus really knows how blonde color should process come to Ritual Salon and see Savannah. You will be glad you did!! Look at my photos! This is what she had to work with. Look what she made it!!! Savannah will save your blonde hair.

I don't even know how to feel about my hair, most days. It defies me, it confuses me, I like it, but it's such a nuisance. On top of these feelings, every time I sit down in a new stylist's chair I feel woefully uneducated and unfeminine. I want easy hair, but I want good hair. I want to understand the magic that they can work, but I just don't. After a few unhappy experiences in another salon, it was time to throw caution to the winds and walk into Ritual with no appointment. The receptionist was so friendly and welcoming, and helped me to choose the best hairstylist for my sort of helpless-with-hair attitude. I don't want anyone who will make me feel silly when I ask dumb questions. I want someone who can look at my hair and my face and my style and help me make a decision. The receptionist set me up with Shannon, and I am so so so so grateful. She talked to me, game me some insight, didn't talk down to me but didn't make me feel like an unfeminine hair-idiot. She explained the cut she wanted to give, what she thought would be best, and she executed. I left feeling happier and lighter than I have in YEARS. I'll be coming back, and I'm so grateful to have someone to trust my hair, and my personality, with.

Goodies!

Gott dang it this place is good! I really, really, really do NOT want to share this information about Ritual and my stylist. Why, you ask? Because I am selfish and do not want you all to book her up and make me wait longer to get in to see her! This is what I will begrudgingly write, and only because my desire to keep the best kept secret in Austin, conflicts with my desire to Yelp about awesome businesses in my community. I found out about this salon from a colleague who goes here. I had recently had a bad color experience and needed help correcting it. Color correction is a b&*#h so I was a little nervous. My colleague assured me that they have great colorist and stylist and if they could not help me, I was doomed. She was correct, thank you Donna Rene! I booked an appointment with Sharamey who not only fixed my botched color job, she made my hair look fabulous. I will not allow anyone else to touch my locks, she is that good. She is also smart, funny as hell and reminds of why I love Austin. That said, she is mine! Do not try to book her on the days i go! The salon itself is well appointed, vibes Austin without being too hippy dippy or too pretentious. They use quality products, their prices are reasonable and yes, they even allow you to enjoy a glass of wine while you process. So there you have it, my passion to Yelp over road my desire to keep Austin's best salon a secret. Damn you Yelp!

So, I really debated on writing this review because my stylist was so sweet but after talking to multiple people about my experience I've decided to share. I was looking for a stylist that can work with a pixie since my usual girl is all booked up through March. When I called I specifically asked for someone that could work with pixies and that I needed it cleaned up on the bottom half. I got to my appointment about 15 minutes early, they were pretty polite, asked me if I wanted anything to drink, and I proceeded to wait for my stylist to come and get me. Throughout the haircut she was very friendly, chatted with me, and was just overall pleasant. About halfway through the cut, my stylist cuts me pretty significantly on my right ear. She is extremely apologetic, gets someone to help her because the bleeding didn't want to stop, and just continues To profusely apologize and let me know how she has never cut anyone before. I let her know the accidents happen, but it did definitely affect her confidence because she pulls out the clippers instead of continuing with a scissor cut like we had previously discussed. By this point I just want the cut to be over because I get it, you feel bad you cut me, but I'm the one that is still bleeding. The stylus was sweet and I truly do believe accidents happen so the one start is not for her effort, it's for what came when it was time to check out. Not only were they NOT apologetic for my poor experience with getting cut at their salon, there was not even an offer of a discount or anything to show "hey your service is appreciated and we're sorry you had less than excellent service today". I have never been cut at a hair salon before so I was expecting some sort of a discount for this poor experience, but after talking to several people they were surprised that my haircut wasn't free. I have been going to Salon's that tend to be on the pricey side because I enjoyed the experience, the products, and I truly believe you get what you pay for. But at this location, I did not get what I paid for. I got cut, I have a huge scab on my ear in two spots because I was cut into different parts on my ear, and I will never go back to the salon again. If your customers have less than stellar experience and you are charging over $60 for a haircut, then the experience better be amazing. I am extremely disappointed in my experience at ritual salon and you must do something to revise your policies on how you support your customers when your stylist do not do an amazing job. The stylist was very sweet and I am OK with the haircut I received, but the entire experience has left a bad taste in my mouth and you should avoid this place if you want professional customer service.

I'm originally from Houston, but I've moved to Austin six years ago and have been so hesitant to find a hairstylist who can cut my hair.. I saw Stevie's ad on Instagram (@steviehairnandez), checked out his Instagram, and booked a haircut appointment for the next day! I'm so glad that I did. The salon is friendly, clean, with a beautiful view of burnet. I originally wanted only two inches cut, but that wasn't realistic and we cut off almost 4 inches of dead, damaged ends. Stevie was so great with my hair and he definitely took his time, which I appreciate because I have a lot of hair. This salon uses high quality products - my hair smells fantastic with the Oribe products. I wanted layers with textured ends and that's what I got and more! I feel like a whole new person with my hair. I used the $20 off new client special, but I'm going to be coming back! I highly recommend Stevie!

i'm legit surprised with these reviews, but I trust yelp when I try a new place. I was a few minutes early for my appointment, but ended up waiting for 25 minutes until I was called back. I explained to the stylist that I cut my own hair, dye it, and having fine and thinning hair. next, we spoke about what I wanted. I wasnt quite sure, so I showed her several photos of my hair in the past. we get started. as I walked out, I realized I left with the same hair as I began with, just about an inch shorter. she made sort of a tilted bob thing of my hair, and dried my crooked bangs against my head. sure, my hair looks healthier, but not anything like in the photos, or as I described to her. guys. she didn't even clean up the back of my neck, so it's prickly and irritating. I want my fifty bucks back. i'll keep cutting my own hair.

I've been going to ritual salon for the last several years now and my main stylist who I loved was not going to be available as much due to starting a family. I was nervous to have a new stylist work on my hair because my hair is not the easiest to work with plus there's A LOT of it!.....like a ton! Ritual salon matched me with Taylor and I have to say it's the best haircut and color job I've ever had done! Taylor took her time, was not overwhelmed with the workload, and truly painted my hair like an artist. She did such a wonderful job and I couldn't be happier! Taylor is also super sweet, kind, and outgoing......I felt like I had known her for years and would actually love to become friends with her. Thank you for turning me into a blonde bombshell and making me feel comfortable during the whole process. See you soon, Taylor!

I've been going to Kali for over 10 years. I made one appointment with her and never went back to…read moreanyone else. What sets Kali apart is that she continuously educates herself on the latest equipment, procedures, and skincare innovations. She vigorously researches anything she sells or puts on your face, which gives me complete confidence in her recommendations. A few treatments that have transformed my skin: Fibroblast, microneedling, peels, dermaplaning, and now Sofwave. Fibroblast virtually erased my lip lines and crow's feet, improved skin texture, minimized large pores, and tightened areas of laxity. The results have been remarkable. Kali's facials are exceptional because they're customized. She analyzes your skin, listens to your goals, and tailors treatments to achieve the best results. You're never rushed. If you book a facial and your skin needs something different that day, she'll discuss your options and help you achieve the results you're looking for. For microblading and lash lifts/tints, anyone at Love + Roots is fantastic. The entire team is talented, professional, and focused on delivering beautiful, natural-looking results. Kali and Jessica have built something special. They are kind, passionate, knowledgeable professionals who genuinely care about their clients. I could go on and on, but I'll simply say this: go see them. You'll thank me later. And don't skip the retail boutique--I've found countless gifts there for friends and, of course, myself!

I go home to Pittsburgh to get my hair done. Can't help it, I've been with the same two stylists…read morefor decades. However, when I need something done straight away, Love + Roots is the only place I'll go. It's a modern, beautiful salon. Upscale. The staff are really friendly and really strive to provide top-notch services. They excel at customer service and their craft. Kiyita is an incredible stylist who got me right away. I needed a good hair braiding and she nailed it. I looked like I walked out of an NYC salon. Absolutely amazing salon.

10/28/25 I was in…read morethe market for a digital perm and found the right place! So happy to have found Windy, love the warmth and service. Will recommend Can't wait to come back

Rumor had it that Windy retired, but I'm here to set the record straight: she's still in the game…read moreand stronger than ever! While she's no longer at the Airport location, Windy has moved to a homey studio space inside Sola Salon on Burnet. Teaming up with a second hairstylist, Windy and her partner continue to offer their specialized Korean services, but in a more intimate setting. It feels like you've stepped into her home rather than a typical salon. There aren't any flashy decorations here--just a curtain for privacy when clients are in session, along with some faded pictures and personal fans scattered around. I came in after reading several reviews about her expertise in cutting Asian hair at an affordable price. I went in with my standard request: long layers and curtain bangs. Going into a hair salon, I always have an inspo pic in hand, but I know not to expect an exact match. Although there's a bit of a language barrier (I'm not sure if Windy speaks fluent English), I trusted her with the process, and she delivered. I wasn't sure how I felt about the shorter length, but after a few days, I'm pretty content with the outcome. Pro tip: I would recommend paying in cash for a discount, but even with a card, my total came to be $55, excluding tip.
