I have been to Ritual for emergency waxing - e.g. my regular waxers are too far or unavailable or I am going away and need some salon care pronto!
PROs:
Seems easy to get appointments
A quick in-out experience
Some people seemed pleasant - exceptionally one waxer in particular - can't remember her name (for her she gets 4 stars)
I hear the Shellac is great
It's busy - so assume there are a lot of regulars that come for regular appts
Cons:
It's a lot going on in that small space
It's not relaxing (think of one of those quicky nail salons that's more high end)
It's not super cheap - but not super expensive as some downtown places try to scam (I think eyebrow waxing is $15).
You can't do tip on debit - so I felt bad that I didn't have enough for a tip (why not have this feature???? - horrible for the employees)
It's kind of dirty in the waxing rooms (the actual table bed is dirty and then they put clean paper on it - kind of grossed me out).
I think they double-dip the wax (don't use a new stick every time they dip)
I feel I should use this place more - but it's never been a wow experience....it's ok and convenient if I need it.
