ritual pedi spa

I’ve been coming to ritual since they opened and they are so professional and welcoming. They’re always accommodating of my last-minute request for an appointment and they always remember my preferences. I don’t even ask for a specific person because they’re all equally good. For me, being so sensitive to smells, I can attest to the fact that they really are low odor. They have a new kind of polish that is long lasting and it really is long fasting. It’s $10 extra, but it is not the gel nails, which has historically damaged my nails this goes on like normal polish and comes off like normal polish. I love it!

This is my favorite nail spa - ever! It’s hands down the best nail salon in the GOOF Garden Oaks / Oak Forest / Heights area. It is so clean, doesn’t smell like acrylics and paint and has calming, relaxing music. They take their time, the prices are reasonable and they have a great selection of services and colors. I am OBSESSED with Gel-X shellac. It lasts so long and I wash my hands a ton throughout the day. I cannot recommend this place enough. I’ve been a regular for 8 years and definitely am spoiled to the quiet, luxurious experience I have here. There are so many nail salons in the area now, but ritual sets the standard so high I never need to look anywhere else. It is so cute inside and has great parking! Come treat yourself to the best manicure or pedicure in Houston - You will be glad you did! I highly recommend making an appointment too.

Went in at 9:15, got out at at 9:35, hands and feet done. They definitely ment express lol. They were so nice! Im a gel girly so that also helps with the timing which is perfect for me, I like efficiency. Will be back

So FOUR days ago I Was in the area and decided to try a new place for pedicures because it seems very difficult to find a place in Houston that actually takes pride in doing your nails (not originally from here). I came across this place when I googled salons near me. Reviews seemed legit so I tried it out. I came in for a pedicure and they sat me immediately. They asked me which pedicure I wanted and I don’t remember the name I just know it had “ash” in it or something. So the guy Andy (I think that’s his name) starts removing the gel from my toes. In the MIDDLE of the pedicure he stops walks away and comes back with a paper breaking down my price for the pedicure which ended up being $110. I found this extremely uncomfortable because I, being the only woman of color in the salon, didn’t see any of the other technicians doing this with their clients. I chalked it up to me being in my head and told him I’m fine with the price. I live in the galleria area lol that’s what I’m used to paying, if not, more. Anyway, he starts doing the pedicure and he cut my big toe (I’ll take a picture of the scab) but again I disregarded it because MISTAKES HAPPEN. We’re human. Afterwards I asked to do my eyebrows. Don’t remember her name but she did an amazing job. I paid my tab, tipped 20%, and left thinking…”this might be my new go-to salon…” then I tossed and turned in my bed today and I felt like something was snagged on my toes I look down and the polish is GONE on not one but TWO of my toes, the ring and pinky toes. How does that even happen? This is so annoying because I have a trip coming up and I’m scared I’m gonna go to the beach and come out of the ocean with a half a foot of French painted toes. I could’ve went back but it’s like 20 minutes away so I ended up having to go to one of these salons on westheimer and paying them to fix it. Super disappointing

Natalie went above and beyond, making my GF feel at home and taking exceptional care at removing her acrylics and applying dip powder to her own nails, after taking the time to tell her the pros and cons of the different options. Enjoyed a complimentary drink while waiting. The other guests also seemed very happy with their manicures and pedicures. Highly recommend this Houston nail salon!
