A B O U T
Ritual Hair Studio gets its name from a simple idea: personal grooming is a ritual that makes us look and feel like our most authentic selves.
For decades, the hair care industry has been too rigid, with strict divisions around gender and hair texture. Ritual brings it all together: the classic techniques of barbershops, like razor cuts and hot towel shaves; and the finesse, customer service, and high end products of salons.
So, why limit yourself? Let’s perfect your grooming ritual together.
SERVICES
Cut
Whether its a trim or a transformation haircut, we can find the right cut for you. Using a thorough consultation, your hair wants and needs will be woven together to find the right haircut and hair care ritual for you.
All haircut services include shampoo and style.
Beard services also available. Includes beard wash and shave.
All new clients should book a "new client" service which allows for extra time to get to know you, your desires, and your hair.

STUDIO POLICIES
We understand certain circumstances happen, as part of life, and we aim to be accommodating and flexible. However, we value our time and energy, and thus need to have a policy for cancellations. To ensure the best possible services for all clients, we request that in the event you need to cancel or reschedule, you provide at least 24 hours notice. Cancellations made within 24 hours, as well as arriving later than 10 minutes after the booked service are counted as a no-show and all no-shows require 100% payment for requested services before booking any new service. Two no-shows in a year will result in requiring a card on file to charge in the event a client does not show. Three no-shows in a year will result in no longer being allowed to book services.
Staff is allowed to use their discretion, and will consider reasons for cancellations as to how to handle said cancellation.
​
We do not tolerate any harassment, bullying, or bigotry in the studio, towards us, other clients, or people passing by the shop. This is a safe, welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender, ethnicity, ability, and appearance. But tolerance is a social contract, not a paradox. If you are kind, you will receive kindness in return. If you are rude, bigoted, or just unfun to work with, we hold the right to refuse service, as this is a private business. We are open to everyone, but we are not for everyone. If this is an unreasonable expectation for you, there are many other shops that would be willing to accommodate you.
