Rontal Salon in Arroyo Grande, CA

Teri Jewell had taken over for Rontal Salon on Traffic Way. What a huge blessing and gift that has been! If you need an appointment, they've got one. If you need anything to do with hair, they can either accommodate or recommend. Beautiful place and beautiful people. I'll never go anywhere's else. Six out of five stars

Crisie did a amazing job cutting my hair. I absolutely love the way it came out, I definitely recommend this salon. Especially Crisie!

I was looking for a new stylist as the one I previously went to had a baby and was on leave. I was referred to Danielle or Daniella. It had been over a year since I had my hair done due to COVID. I told her I wanted highlights and low lights as that was what I had done previously and came out really nice, and showed her the pictures of what I was looking to achieve. She suggested I only do highlights, so I decided to go with her opinion thinking she knows best. As far as the cut I told her I potentially wanted to do some layering to have some more fullness and body, she suggested I didn't, so I payed $60 for a basic trim and she did not offer to style it. I was definitely not in love with my hair when I left the salon, but I did not realize how bad the highlights were until I got home. I had people asking me at work if I tried to do my own hair or let a friend do it. I was pretty horrified as I am getting married in a month, had a photo shoot coming up just weeks later and multiple other wedding events. I called the salon to let them know how unsatisfied I was with my service and I also sent pictures to the stylist. I let the manager know that I obviously did not want to go back to the same stylist, as she thought my hair looked great when I left the salon, and I needed this fixed ASAP. I asked if there was anything they could do for me, she said she would speak with the owner and return my call. Never returned my call. I sent an email explaining my situation and how unhappy I was, and still they never responded. I finally decided to ask the stylist for a refund, which she agreed to, however, basically made me make an appointment with her to go and pick up the money as I paid in cash. The times she had available for me were only when I was working so it took 3 weeks out for me to get the refund at a time we could both agree on, for something that was going to take less than a minute of her time to do! She refused to give it to the manager or let anyone else come and pick it up. She said I needed to come and pick it up myself directly from her. When I did finally go in, she was extremely uncomfortable and weird about it. I was able to get into a different salon right away that took great care of me. It cost me double the price and double the time to fix what she did! I will be telling everyone I know to avoid this salon!

Me and the wifey stopped in to get some product. Great selection and I found my favorite hair ties from Di Prima. The staff was so friendly and helpful.

I got great treatment from Rik Rontal himself. He knows and loves curly hair, didn't push any certain product or routine, wore his mask and even gave me a glass of wine while we waited for the color to set. I highly recommend this salon when salons reopen!
