Nicole Antonini 
Owner, Hairstylist, Makeup Artist

I began my career in 2003 and knew from the beginning that some day I would have my own salon. Ritual Salon is a vision that has been building in my mind since the day I was licensed. I want our clients to receive exceptional services and feel like they are in a special space. Continuing education, high quality products, and a strong team is where my focus is as an owner. As a stylist, make up artist, and lash technician I get to maintain that strong connection with my clients and remain part of the action. Ritual Salon is my "third baby". I'm the mom of two beautiful children and wife to an amazing husband. We're an active family that loves to travel, camp, and explore. I look forward to seeing familiar faces but also meeting all the new ones that will make Ritual Salon part of their ritual!

Joli
Salon Greeter

I may be tiny and a bit shy but don't let that fool you. I actually have quite a big personality. You will find me perched on the edge of the couch watching out the window for all of our guests to arrive. I love belly rubs and treats. Bring me my toy and I'll play with you. Can't wait to make new friends.

Kimberly Reilly
Hairstylist

I have been in the industry since 2003 and I have loved connecting with people and helping them find a look that works for them and makes them feel good. Working with bridal parties and doing formal styles for peoples' special events is one of my favorite things to do. I moved here from the Buffalo area in September of 2017 and it's been great exploring all that Rochester has to offer. Eating my way through all of the restaurants, heading to the festivals and meeting great people. It has been great to get to know people behind the chair, and I would love to get to know you!

Samantha Roselli 
hairstylist

As long as I can remember I've always had a passion for hair and make up. From a young age I was always doing hair for my friends just for fun or special events. Throughout college and the different jobs I've had, my love for hair was always there. In March 2018, I decided to pursue my dream and enrolled in cosmetology school. While I was in school I worked as a salon receptionist, learning the business side of the beauty industry. White I love all aspects of hairstyling, I specialize in blonding techniques and lived-in color. I love bringing my clients/ inspirational pictures to life. When I'm not at work you can find me enjoying local food, listening to a podcast or planning my next trip for a music festival or concert. 

Sierra Schwartz
Hairstylist

I am a native of Brighton, NY. I graduated from the EMCC/Continental School of Beauty in 2015. During my cosmetology training I was recognized by the National Honors Society for perfect overall performance. I have always had a passion for beauty and an eye for creativity.  My main goal is to inspire women's confidence by making them look and feel their best. To further my knowledge and expertise I attended classes at the VIdal Sassoon Academy in Santa Monica, CA as well as business education seminars with Nick Arrojo. Blonding techniques are my specialty! In my free time I enjoy traveling and working out.
