Ritual Skin

Absolutely love Melissa and Ritual Skin! The services are very personable, professional, and relaxing. My acne was spreading from my jawline to my cheeks and leaving unsightly hyperpigmentation (dark spots/​scaring). I started getting the acne facial, which includes microdermabrasion, and just after a few sessions I noticed huge improvement! I was never pressured into buying products or extra services. I started using the Lyra products and my breakouts have significantly reduced. I wear far less foundation if any at all! If you have adult acne and have tried everything (like me), I strongly recommend you try one more thing: ritual skin.

I love to get monthly facials and so when I saw that Groupon was having a deal for Ritual Skin, I decided to purchase the Acne Facial with a Microdermabrasion ($ 62). At first impression, Ritual Skin is kind of hard to locate and the area surrounding it has a lot of traffic due to construction for the new Kings Arena.
I did my facial with Melissa who I saw had pretty good reviews. We started with a Glycolic Acid Peel, then did a Hydrating Mask, and finally the Microdermabrasion. This entire process was around roughly 30 minutes which is pretty insane for the price even WITH the Groupon deal! For the microdermabrasion, I didn’t feel a crystal or diamond tip, I only felt suction. In addition, I did not get any extractions done even though, online, it states that extractions would be included. Melissa was nice, but didn’t really tell me what she was doing (which I really like since I’m a skincare junkie) unless I asked.
Overall, for 30 mediocre minutes, I spent $ 62 (facial and microdermabrasion), $ 5 (tip), and $ 2.50 (parking) — $ 69.50 total. To me, it really wasn’t worth it.

I’ve had facials before, but I’ve never had a microdermabrasion treatment and so this was a first. Melissa talked me through each step of the process in between chatting about our personal lives. She’s very knowledgeable about skin care and recommended better ways for me to take care of my skin. She’s very friendly and sweet spirited. I can already see results after one session and I’m looking forward to future sessions. Definitely recommended.

My go to skincare place. I see Melissa every five weeks for a pumpkin peel and microdermabrasion and it has given me my best skin ever! Silky smooth baby skin! I love the deals and products. Down to earth without any upselling. Only downside is parking if they run out of validation tickets, otherwise it’s perfect.

They were accommodating and very knowledgeable. I liked that the professionals was able to answer my skin care questions. She didn’t try to sell me lots of things but gave me good knowledge and a great facial. I recommend them.

I started going to Melissa at Ritual Skin in early 2015 to make sure I was looking my best for my wedding in fall 2015. Every facial was a wonderful experience. Melissa knows what she is doing and really enjoys her job! I must say my skin has improved greatly. Products work fantastic and smell pleasant. Soothing and enjoyable experience. Prices can’t be beat.

Bought Groupon for my first microderm and had a great custom experience. tried for a second time with same person and was given ring around several times. was rescheduled twice stood up once and did not receive full time and treatment for what was bought (did not do any extractions) was real disappointed second time as I thought I had a new facial home.:(

My wife and I have been coming to see Melissa for a year now. She know how to make you feel good and look beautiful. My wife is leaves glowing everytime. We would recommend Ritual Skin and Melissa to everyone.

Melissa at ritual skin is amazing! I received a chemical peel and micro to help with my pigmentation issues. if you suffer from scars/​acne you need to book this combination, I noticed results as soon as I walked out the
skin was instantly smoother.

A little hard to find but its inside sola salons. My sister and I both came in at the same time for our first acne appointments, we both struggle with bad acne prone skin, this was our first acne facial, so we didn’t know what to expect. But Melissa was so nice and very very easy going. She knows her stuff, and very gentle while working on your face.
All the products she used smelled great, they felt great. She’s honest and does not try to sell you any products you don’t need, she just tells you what is best for your skin type.
I would most definitely recommend coming here for your next facial. We already booked our next appointment and I am positive she will have my skin looking great.

If you are looking for the best facial of your life, you need to look no further! I have been to many great places (spa Lale, Images, mellow me out, etc) and this quaint little shop has them beat by far! It’s fun downtown location location feels like you are in another part of the world! Nicole has me hooked on her microdermabrasion & peel. She is awesome! I’ve had adult acne for over 15 years and her affordable pricing has made it possible for me to see her enough times that my face has finally cleared up. They use amazing products that work. She spends quality time on me and my needs. I’m truly in love! Thanks Nicole!

Nice location, wasn’t too hard to find. Melissa was very nice and informative. Cheapest dermabrasion/​peel/​facial/​massage that I have ever had!

I had a lactic peel by Melissa and she was wonderful!!! Now this was my first peel so I was a little nervous. She talked me through the steps and was very clear with me with how I was supposed to feel and what my skin was going through. I had the peel about a month ago and I’m still glowing! Already made a second appointment.

I just had the most refreshing microdermabrasion at «Ritual Skin».
I feel good, look good & loved my experience with Melissa, the
esthetician/​owner. The vibe is relaxing & the outcome is amazing.
This wonderful fountain of youth is inside the Sola Salon and you
do need to make an appointment. So glad I did… I will be back!

If I could give negative stars I would. I hate to be the one to write such a bad review for a new, small business, but they couldn’t have left a worse first impression! I made an appointment for Thursday, July 31, 2014 at 12 P.M. I spent about 10 minutes walking around the whole building (621 Capitol Mall) in search of them. I asked two people for help in finding the place and was directed to Sola Salons-​which I had walked passed but how was I to know that they were located inside. Sola Salons, for those who like me do not know, is a complex-​type space in which there are like 15 small (about 500 sqft) individual salons inside. To be more specific-​their address should be Studio 5 inside Sola Salons-​not Suite 5. Anyways, I knocked on the locked door when I arrived and then sat down on the bench outside the door. I then sat there and waited patiently for the next 1.5 hrs! In that time, I had knocked another 2 times and called 3 times. In addition, another girl came by about 45 minutes into my wait, and she decided to leave. I probably should have left with her! After getting fed up after 1.5 hrs, I went home and wrote them an e-​mail letting them know how I had an appointment and waited all that time. I also gave them the suggestion to be more specific about their location, and to leave a sign on the door that they are with a client if that is the situation. It has been TWO days since I wrote them, and they have not responded. I find that completely rude and unprofessional. I absolutely recommend that you DO NOT GO HERE!!!
