I very much appreciate Michelle taking time to consult with me about what I want in a hair cut, color, etc. She is meticulous & does an excellent job. After getting a botch job from another stylist last week, I was a bit distressed and she fit me in right away. I now have a beautiful cut & know that I have a new stylist! Thank you Michelle! read more

What a great day when I found Michelle. I have been looking for a stylist that can cut a full head of hair that is baby fine. She layered my hair cutting it dry. It looks amazing...am getting so many compliments. Aside from a master at hair cutting, Michelle has a charming personality. Her salon is easy to find, and the parking is good. Give Michelle a try...you won't be disappointed! Anna S read more

Rituals Hairdressing - Hair Stylists Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Cut my hair for the first time in AZ! Super scared but came across Michelle on yelp and decided to trust her based on her reviews. She brought my hair vision to life! Cut off 15 inches and thinned it out just as I hoped for and had a low high cut Thank you Michelle read more

Michelle is absolutely everything you want in a stylist! She's super nice and relatable. She listens closely to what you're asking for and has the talent, education, and experience to make it happen. I normally see a stylist in Portland but couldn't return there in time, and my hair was suffering. I had delayed trying to find someone in the Chandler area because I have fine hair and have had a lot of trouble finding stylists with the appropriate background to be able to handle it appropriately. I've found that Sassoon-trained stylists come closest due to their training in precision cutting. I texted then talked with Michelle, and she assured me she was well versed in precision cutting and could handle my color request as well. During the course of the cut, she also informed me that, among other schools in her background, she is Sassoon-trained as well. Long story short, she knocked it out of the park! The cut was excellent! The color spot-on! And the woman herself is a delight to work with! I am really extremely pleased with my hair! I recommend Michelle WHOLEHEARTEDLY!!! read more

I lost my hairdresser of 10+ years when she moved away. When I started looking for a new stylist, I was admittedly shocked at the going rate for a simple hair trim. I'm a low-maintenance, no-frills kinda gal, you see. My old hairdresser had only been charging me $25 all these years! So when I was getting quotes for 50-80 for a basic trim, I was shocked. I ended up going to someone my old hairdresser had referred me to and was SOOO disappointed. She charged me $40 and didn't even dry or style my hair! And she really hurt me whilst washing my hair and scratching my scalp with her long fake nails! The real kicker was when she made me feel like a weirdo for wanting a straight bang cut and tried to convince me to do something I didn't want. It was like high school peer pressure BS. Anyway, that was the first and last time I went to her. Then, one day I was sitting at Palette Collective getting a coffee while waiting for my truck to get new tires on it at Costco and I thought, hmmmm... I'll Yelp some stylists in this place and see if I can find someone. I came across Michelle's yelp reviews and decided to text her. She responded right away, and as it turns out, she was sitting across from me at a table. LOL Michelle only charged $10 more than the other stylist, but she dries and styles my hair after cutting it. Plus, she doesn't charge me to get my bangs trimmed every 4 weeks between getting the mane cut every 8 weeks (the other stylist was going to charge $5 for the bangs only, and I had some stylists who told me they couldn't take less than the full rate for the bang cut). Michelle is meticulous when cutting my hair. I was surprised when she dried me up, flat ironed my hair, checked for and trimmed up additional uneven ends. No other stylist had ever checked for uneven ends post-dry. I look forward to having Michelle style my hair for years to come! read more

I am writing this review not to throw salt in anybody's game or to throw shade, but I feel like I need to let my black women know what's up in regards to our choices regarding hair salons, especially in Arizona where the pickings are slim. Warning; if you don't see another black woman working in the hair salon or you don't see another patronizing the salon, run as fast as you can! Seriously, all Stylists are not created equal!! Let me repeat, all Stylists are not created equal. The only type of white girl you want in your head is the chick who hangs out with pookie and dem and definitely my girl, Rachel dolezal. Straight up!! I should have known better, but I wanted to try a new experience, an equal opportunity experience. Coloring all hair textures shouldn't be hard. No need for a style, just color and go! I mean, how hard could it be to color a pinch of coarse hair?? Not a big ass afro, but a pinch of hair?! So I wanted my hair a vibrant blue black color. I sent photos ahead of time. Michelle explained to me the pros and cons of bleaching the hair to achieve the desired result, which I appreciated since I explained to her that I was trying to grow it out . But sometimes you have to give the customer what they want. First, she dyed my hair black and mixed blue into it. Nothing showed up. Then, she put a demi color on my hair to try to lift it slighty. While the hair was wet, it appeared to have a slight tint, but that turned out to be just the reflection of the water in my hair from the lighting. I found that out real quick as soon as this kinky hair dried up. I paid $75 for the same color I had when I left. I reached back out to her because nothing showed up. I told her that i wanted to do whatever it took to get the desired results, especially since i spent $90($75, and still left a tip to be nice). She agreed to fix it the next day. So she starts to lift my hair, and I notice she didn't put me under the dryer. My hair has been lifted to gold blonde in the past, and the Stylist put me under the dryer. I didn't say anything because she is the professional, and I trusted that she knew what she was doing. She left it on for about 30 minutes and then she washed it out. She showed me what it looked like, it wasn't lifted evenly, it was 3 different colors, lighter in some areas and darker in others.I didn't think anything of it, because again, I gave her the benefit of the doubt because this is her expertise But I hindsight, that made all of the difference. When she added the color and rinsed, we finally saw a little progress...under the artifical light. I was happy!! I couldn't wait to go stunt and show off my hair. I dropped another $10 for a total of $100!! I walk outside And my daughter says, "mommy, your hair is green and blue. Wtf!! I didnt ask for mermaid hair. She took these photos of my hair so I could see, and I was mortified!! My hair looks like someone scribbled with a green and blue crayon in the lower part of my hair and the top is black with some speckling of color. I am super disappointed! My shit is dry af, itchy, and damaged because of this mishap. I spent $100 and I look like a fool. I give this place 2 thumbs down and a black girl starter kit hair tutorial! read more

See all

Went from having long hair my whole life to doing something completely different and was absolutely in love with the way she cut and styled my hair! I asked for something different and she delivered 100 percent! Thank You Michelle I feel like a completely new women :) read more

Seriously Michelle did such great work on my hair and I already have another appointment with her to go lighter!

The color is so awesome from all the highlights. I have my 2nd appointment in 4 weeks to go even lighter and I'm so excited. She definitely knows her stuff!!!

Rituals Hairdressing - My Kaley Cuoco inspired hair! Michelle made it a reality - Hair Stylists Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I just got my hair cut and colored with Michelle a few weeks ago-I always like to write hair reviews a little after getting it done, and doing it myself a few times. I have to say, I LOVE my hair! I hadn't gone lighter in a few years, and I get so many compliments on the color, and how healthy it looks (not at all the case pre-Michelle). Additionally, the cut makes it very low maintanence for my crazy hair. Lastly, she is so nice and easy to be around, I loved talking with her! read more

So happy with my haircut! Really great visit with Michelle she was prompt to respond to my inquiry on yelp and gave me her personal number. We texted back-and-forth a bit I found her location it was adorable, and was very happy with my haircut I will return to her when I return to the Chandler area for a visit. Highly recommend! read more

My hair experience today was awesome! I seriously love the coloring she did, and my hair feels a lot healthier after the treatment she recommended. Michelle applied balayage highlights and recommended a treatment that's good for colored hair. It was only $15 and made my dry, damaged ends like new! I asked her to trim the ends and she barely had to take any off because of the treatment. She styled my hair nicely at the end, explained the products she used, and helped me find a nice clarifying shampoo. She's easy to talk to and makes your trip to the salon very pleasant. I plan on returning as long as I live in the area and will send anyone I know in need of a stylist her way!! read more

First big girl hair cut. There is no other person I would trust other than Michelle to have done the job. She has been doing my hair for a few years now and I've never left unhappy. She fixed my drugstore colored hair. I moved from Boston and was afraid I wouldn't find a stylist so I started doing it myself... I'm never going anywhere else! Thank you Michelle for always making me look fabulous and now my Granddaughter! It would be to your best interest to give her a try! read more

Michelle just fixed my frustrating hair and I am sooo happy to have found her thanks to Yelp. She made me feel good about myself again after many months of going to another stylist who didn't listen to why my haircuts were not working out for me. I decided to make the switch and am very glad I did. Michelle consults for as long as it takes to hear what you want and look at your hair. Then she acts on it and voila, a nice haircut that even I can style myself. I look forward to putting my hair in Michelle's care from now on!!! read more

Michelle is amazing. She asks what you want and actually does it and gives you her opinion if she thinks she can make something better. She is sweet, talkative and puts you right at ease. On top of everything else she gives you a lovely scalp massage during your shampoo. read more

Michelle was awesome... friendly, personable, listened to what I wanted but also gave me her opinion.. I would and will recomend her to everyone.. and luckily she is close to one of my business, so Ican see her on a regualar basis for clean ups and cuts.. and dont forget to get the SCALP MASSAGE.... to die for!! read more

If your looking for a colorist/stylist you MUST go see Michelle. She is professional and amazingly talented. I drive over an hour to get my hair done as she is the BEST! I WOULDN'T go anywhere else. Thank you for always making me look & feel Beautiful. read more

Michelle! Such a professional. But also fun. Consultation before, great color and cut; just what I was looking for. Time flew by!

Michelle is amazing. I made a huge coloring mistake and she was able to correct it beyond my expectations. I am so thankful that I found her. She made me feel like myself again. I will be recommending her to all of my friends and family. I will not trust anyone else with my hair. I am so happy that I have found a permanent stylist. read more

I had the best experience getting my haircut by Michelle today. She took her time to ask questions to really understand what I wanted done to my hair. She cut the perfect layers and face frame on my long hair. Michelle was awesome and her studio is super cute! read more

Never felt so comfortable with someone; especially someone with my hair! Michelle replied so quick with my questions and booked me for an appointment last minute. I showed her to pictures of the kind of haircut that I wanted (hair was already to my butt) and knocked the haircut and style out of the park!! I love it and I'm definitely coming back! Found a permanent stylist read more

Being a traveling consultant, I've had my hair done by many different stylists in many different cities, from LA to New York to London to Tokyo. Based on this experience, I can wholeheartedly say that Michelle's skills are amongst very the best. Sad to say but I have an odd shaped head (think little green men), so finding stylists who can craft haircuts to complement the shape has always been difficult. Michelle, however, was able to create an amazing cut in our very first session! And it got even better in the subsequent sessions! Bottom line, if you are looking for a GREAT hair cut and a pleasant conversation, do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Michelle. I wish I still could but I don't live in Arizona :( read more

Great haircut. I was on the verge of just buzzing it. Michelle saved me from that frustrated impulse. We went with a short cut and I just let her do her thing. Came out perfect. She is super nice and conversation was great too. read more

I recently moved to AZ from CA and left behind my great stylist of 12 years. After searching on yelp I found Michelle at Rituals and decided to give her a try. I have baby-fine, thin hair and was looking for a Vidal Sassoon trained stylist. Today I had my first appointment with her and I'm thrilled! Even my husband gave her 5 stars....he loves my new cut! I will happily make the drive from Wickenburg just to have her cut my hair. read more

I found Michelle here on yelp when searching for color/balayage, who is close by my house. I was fortunate because she was able to get me in the next day. After going to my appointment, I feel even more lucky because she will probably be booking appointments out further for the holiday months. Michelle is super cool. She's very friendly and conversation comes easy. She knows how to get the results you want using her extended knowledge when you tell her your ideas. I had my hair done balayage style when i came in, so I had roots plus pink and red ends but she brought everything together with the platinum ends I asked for. Even with all the coloring and chemicals I've had on my hair recently, the end result had no damage and looks great. I'm very happy with the end product, with her time management (I've spent 6 hours in salons before getting my hair done). Not this time. Completely transformed my hair and I'll be back to lighten some more later. she uses great products and the salon is very clean which shows she respects the work. If you want to get balayage or color, or color correction, Michelle is your gal. Love the salon location too, in downtown Chandler. I've got her cards too because I know I'll refer some people to her salon :) read more

Michelle is THE BEST! She is easy going and comforting, but always delivers above and beyond what I had even imagined. She has years of experience and has traveled all over the country to take classes in hair cutting and coloring. I don't trust my highlights to anyone else! (Literally! I'm booking a flight to Tempe in December) She's truly an artist who NEVER disappoints! read more

Michelle is an amazing stylist with an enlightened spirit and an awesome sense of style. You will love her!!! Her cuts and colors are flawless. Run, don't walk, to this girl! read more

I went to michelle for the first time today. I did a lot of research before deciding to go to Michelle. All of the reviews I read about her are true. She is very knowledgeable and educated about hair. Not only does she do a fabulous job coloring hair (including balayage), she is also very easy to talk to, and she gives a great shampoo! I could have fallen asleep in the chair while she was washing my hair. I would highly recommend Michelle! read more

I went to Michelle B yesterday with a disaster on my head. I have dark hair and my regular hair dresser who highlighted my hair for a year turned my roots orange red. I went back to him and he made it worse. I was so afraid to have someone else turn my hair red that I waited, but after two months I was looking really bad. I went to Michelle B and she listened to me and discussed options on correcting the orange. With a plan she worked diligently to remove the orange. She removed the orange, highlighted my dark hair blond and gave me an awesome hair cut. I am just so thankful I found Michelle B on yelp, thanks to the comments left by others. I wanted to return the favor and share my experience. Michelle B is an awesome hair dresser and a fun person to chat with while she is fixing your hair. I am so happy and I love my hair!!!!!!! read more

Michelle is amazing! Literally did what I asked while still implementing her professional skill! I've gotten so many compliments already. She's definitely someone to go to for color and my cut was super cute too. I will for sure be coming back to Michelle for my next cut/color. Her prices are GREAT too read more

Michelle was my go to hairdresser when she lived in Nebraska and she is coming to Colorado to do my hair and makeup as well as my bridesmaids hair and makeup in for my wedding. I have really thick hair that requires a lot of time and patience and she always took the time to make it look great. One thing that is really great is after she cuts and colors my hair she always shows me all the different ways I can style which I find really helpful. read more

Recently moved to Phoenix from NYC and was worried I wouldn't be able to find a stylist that understood what I wanted. I'm so grateful to have found Michelle!! Not only is she extremely talented but she talks me out of making bad hair decisions and knows how to work with my very fine hair! I wouldn't consider going to anyone else for my color and cut! read more

I have known Michelle for many years, throughout her entire career as a hairdresser. She is skillful, knowledgeable, creative, and passionate. She is full of ideas and suggestions to help create your inner dream hair. She cares about making you feel your best! Her services don't stop at cut & color- she will always offer advice on styling, products, and upkeep so you are able to achieve a salon styled look at home. Michelle is a kind and generous soul, and a wonderful stylist. You won't regret sitting in her chair! read more

Best haircut and color I've ever had! I just moved to AZ from Nashville a few months ago, and was worried about finding someone good since I've only colored my hair a few times before and it turned out badly. I came in with a few pictures of what I wanted (a very low maintenance, balayage-like lighter shade of brown/blonde highlights to shine up my brunette hair), and she was able to make it happen but even better! Michelle seemed very knowledgeable about hair and color, and I am very satisfied with the results. Her rates are affordable given the service you receive, and her new location was really relaxing and nice. It was really a pleasure to not be in a busy, loud hair salon and have hair dryers and what-not going off like crazy, and I like that it was just a studio room inside a larger building. Her hours are also awesome in the evenings for coming in after work! read more

Michelle is now my new hair girl! I've been looking for a new one for years. She's is very personable and great at what she does and her salon is intimate and cute. I was looking for a salon and tried a couple herein Yelp-no call back or didn't seem interested in getting my business. Then I found Rituals Hairdressing. It's a bit further than I wanted to drive but boy is it worth it. She gave me the cut I wanted with lots of layers in my long hair and rejuvenated it with a dark rich chocolate color. I left the salon driving recklessly because I was busy trying to get glimpses of my hair in the mirror! Totally satisfied experience!!! Do yourself a favor and give Michelle a call. You will not be disappointed. :) read more

I live in California but Tempe is my hometown and I was home for break. I wanted to try balayage for the first time and did a lot of research. I found Michelle and I'm so glad I did! She is friendly and professional and took the time to listen and figure out exactly what I wanted. I have really dark hair, so she decided to go a little conservative this first time, which I appreciated. I walked out with some really natural looking highlights that made my hair look sun-kissed, which is just what I wanted. She is great and I hope to return to her soon. Plus, she gives the best scalp massages I've EVER had during my shampoo! I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you're just starting out with this coloring stuff. read more

Michelle is so freaking AMAZING!!! I always get so many compliments on my layers, I would follow her to the ends of the earth if I had to. She is truly a hair artist!! Thank you Michelle for another awesome job!! You truly are the best!!! read more

I walked in with patchy uneven lemon yellow hair with pink ends( left over from previous purple hair ), a pintrist photo, and walked out with gorgeous blue toned silver hair with a shadow root(to make my natural roots easier to blend when they grow in), and I could not be happier with the results! I expected to have some damage, a multistage process, and the possibility of multiple visits to attain my lofty silver hair goal, instead she did a low level lift to even out my "pink lemonade" color and did some color alchemy to give me my blue silver hair in a couple of hours with out any noticeable damage and without cutting any length off at all, which is just unheard of! So if you want absolute quality and someone that actually cares about the health of your hair and will give you a though consultation about what you can realistically achieve then she is the stylist for you, then if she happens to sprinkle pixy dust in the mixing bowls to blow you away with some instagram worthy hair magic don't be surprised! read more

Michelle is absolutely amazing! I had previously had a horrible dye job, the tone was terrible and the transition from brown to blonde was just awful. Michelle gave me a very detailed consultation and ready to answer all my questions. My hair is now better than ever! She gave me exactly what I had been looking for the first time and I am obsessed with it! I didn't expect that anyone would be able to make my color correction look so great. Michelle is going to be the only person I let touch my hair from now on! Thanks Michelle! read more
