a curly hair salon located in Salinas, CA
Monterey County’s Dedicated Curl Salon Since 2006
Ringlets & Roots is my one-stylist curly hair salon in Oldtown Salinas, built for people who have been let down by wet cuts and one-size-fits-all advice. I’ve specialized in curly hair since 2006, and I cut every head dry, curl by curl, so your shape works with your natural pattern instead of against it. Each visit includes hands-on education, so you leave knowing how to cleanse, style and care for your curls at home, whether your hair is wavy, curly or coily.
Before curls became my focus, I spent decades as a color educator, including roles as a former L’Oreal and Schwarzkopf Education Director. That depth shows in my highlights, balayage, gray coverage and silver transitions, all done with clean, organic-based products in my private upstairs studio. Women, men, teens and kids come to see me from across Monterey County and the Monterey Peninsula for a curly haircut and color experience that is personal from start to finish.
Find me upstairs at 105 E. Alisal Street, Suite #201, in Oldtown Salinas.

That’s why you need a curly hair specialist in Salinas, CA. At Ringlets and Roots by Kristen King, a curly hair specialist (since 2006) will guide you through education, “how-to” demonstrations, styling & proper curl by curl dry cutting to, perfectly, compliment your personal curl style. Whether you need a curl specialist for women, men, young adults, or children, you can count on Kristen.
