Ringletts

Have always heard good things an know many whove visited and love this salon.Grew my hair out for a couple of years before i went to see them. I was important to me to give them something to work with. My appointment started out well. Mindy was running a little behind-not a big deal even though my she seemed to be moving around in a hurry. Book she gave me to select a curly cut had about 8 different pics but no one with a texture close to mine (3c, 4a). All were pics of loose curl patterns. She said its important to cut hair where it lives. I took her at her word. My Fredrick Douglas looking hair was cut dry without any product or combing other than the combing i did at home while wet. Clean, detangled hair with little to no product is a requirement per the stylist instructions on the website. I explained as best as i could what i wanted in the style. Mindy proceded to quickly chop my half semi-curly, half afro-ish type hair. Once she was done I felt it would be too short once it was styled with product and it was. No turning back but not a deal breaker. Then she shampooed and styled. I was supposed to be diffused but when she came to get me from under the dryer my hair was completely dry as there wasn't much hair there. She blows and fluffs. It look ok but felt amazingly good. 3 days later i noticed super long and super short strands after shampooing. Im talking 4 inch and less differnces. My hair did not look as if I had gotten a $300 cut or a supercut and im sure this drastic imprescision was noted during styling and not addressed. I was so distraught I wept and contcted the stylist i use to straighten and cut my hair to fix the jagged cut. She fit me in the next day but i had to go to work with feeling emembarrassed and another $150 lighterI contacted the salon via email but have not heard back. While I still believe Mindy does great hair especially straightened and looser patterns, I dont believe tight curls are her specially. It is my belief that cutting tight curl patterns dry without product where they live is a recipe for disaster. Highly disappointed

I give Morgan a 5/5 she's super sweet and friendly. I was very specific about how I wanted my hair and she didn't do too much. She was able to give it the shape that it needed. I usually don't like how hair dressers style my curly hair(as I was hesitant about booking the transformation service) , but I really liked the end result. I also liked the products used. They left my hair feeling super clean, light and soft. My hair had so much bounce when I left. If I'm ever in the area again I'd definitely get my hair cut by Morgan again. I'll post more follow up pics of when I style my hair myself.

Do NOT book here, especially not with Morgan. Waste of time and money. Me and my aunt booked back to back appointments and both had specific requests that were ignored. She also alternated between me and my aunt instead of focusing on one at a time. $300 for the job to halfway done.

I came to New Orleans from Atlanta for work. I thought I knew about humidity...until I got here! I needed immediate help with my curls/frizz/waves. I actually googled Brazilian Blowout and Ringlets came up. I decided to try to work with the curl. Morgan is amazing. She educated as she worked to get curls instead of frizz! Fabulous! I'm so happy that I chose to go this route!Morgan knew the products and how to explain them for easy use!

I really wanted to like this place, I really did. I saw the page & thought they knew what they were doing. Unfortunately hair was cut unevenly & I cannot wear my hair in any other style besides a bun or down because you can see how uneven the cut is. I reach out to Morgan to get a partial refund because I have to get my hair fixed (another $250) it took her forever to respond to me and even after I sent pictures she took almost another two weeks to address my concern. I wasn't mean or nasty in the messages at all, so it seemed like she was avoiding me so she didn't have to take responsibility for my uneven hair cut & bangs. She did give me a partial refund , but it was way less than I was hoping because curly haircuts aren't cheap! She said that even her ponytail isn't all the way around, but Ive never had a haircut where my ponytail is so lopsided that everyone makes comments about it. It's really unfortunate that my hair came out so bad, cos I really wanted to like it there!Update! After the owner replied to my review she sent me a message. As a woman that works in the service industry I can confidently say to avoid this place at all costs ladies.

Felt like home from the moment I walked in, a high end comfy home. Mindy and Morgan were amazing and treated my hair like the crown that it is. Never seen my curls come so alive and never felt so cared for by a stylist. These women know their stuff, are passionate about hair, and can teach you how to love on your curls. I walked out feeling like a million bucks. My curls have new sass. (They also sell their own all natural hair products. I'm here for all of it!)

I learned more about how to style and care for my curly hair in two hours than in the previous 58 years - Kendra you are goddess!! My dad was African - 100% natural Afro, and my mom is a fair, fine haired Scot. Finding a stylist to cut my many textured hair is a nightmare! Kendra shaped my hair to suit me and my face and it actually looked even better a couple of days after she cut it. Totally new experience for me!I left with a hand written 'prescription' for how to care for my hair on wash day and non-wash days. Instead of hawking one particular line of products that might not be available where I live, Kendra taught me what qualities the product for each step needs to have and why do that I know what to look for. Certainly my most expensive haircut ever but Kendra, as styling artist and curl knowledge nerd extraordinaire, made it all worthwhile.

My hair is not easy to deal with, at all. It is curly, it is long, it's coarse and it's frizzy, oh an I'm tender-headed to boot! Trying to deal with it on a daily basis can be rough...making it look gorgeous for a fancy occasion is a downright nightmarish challenge! I woke up on the morning of my nephew's wedding feeling like I could make it look good myself since I had just gotten it professionally straightened the week prior. I looked in the mirror and quickly realized, "what am I thinking?!?!. I need to look good and I need help!! But I had no appointment anywhere and it was the Saturday of Labor Day weekend and I was already downtown at the Westin hotel and time was getting limited. I started making calls and I found they had immediate availability at Ringletts right across the street at the Hilton. It wasn't until I got there that I even realized they specialize in curly hair, that was a freebie bonus and make it feel a little like good karma . I had an appointment with Kake Jones (that's not a typo...her name is Kake). She was very nice and not intimidated at all by my frizzy, curly mane. She proceeded to start blowing out my hair and was gentle with my tender head. She made quick work of what other stylists have deemed a challenging job in the past. She engaged me in easy small talk and before I knew it, she was done. My hair was smooth and silky and so healthy looking ! I received tons of compliments from family and friends at the wedding! Some even said they barely recognized me because they've never seen my hair hanging so straight and so shiny. I was a little fearful at firstof how much this appointment would cost but I found it to be very moderate at about $45. I would go back to Ringlett's in a heartbeat and definitely recommend Kake as your stylist.

Morgan Taylor is VERY unprofessional and I would NEVER recommend her for a service. I scheduled an appointment with her a week in-advance, the deposit was accepted, but she canceled the morning of my appointment at 9:49am via text, which was an hour before my appointment time. I called her immediately after receiving her text several times to discuss via phone, the next steps to take, but she ignored my calls. I did not get a text back until 11:30 PM saying she will no longer be moving forward with my service. No explanation why nor was my deposit returned.

I really wanted to like this salon, but was not happy with my haircut ($275 + $43 tip) or the service. I requested to come back to get it cut more so how I wanted, showed up to my appointment, and got stood up. The front desk lady told me that my hairstylist would call me in a few minutes (texting the hairstylist in front of me) and I never got a call to make things right that day. The front desk lady sent me home. I got a message the next day saying her reason was "her brain wasn't working right" and to come back again. I had to get childcare and was stood up, unfortunately, I will not return after that. I'm very flexible when it comes to running behind, etc., but to be stood up and not make things right isn't okay.
