Rising Strong: Rustic Ritual Beauty’s Journey After Hurricane Helene

It all begins with an idea.

In April 2024, a lifelong dream came true when I opened the doors to my first salon in Asheville. Rustic Ritual Beauty was built to be more than a salon—it was a space for clean beauty, creativity, and community. Just a few months later, in September, Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina and completely destroyed that space.

Losing the salon so soon after opening was heartbreaking. Not only was it a financial loss, but it felt like years of vision and hard work had been washed away. Still, one thing became clear during the recovery: the Asheville community and organizations like Operation Blessing were determined to help small businesses rise again.

Operation Blessing stepped in with incredible generosity, making it possible for Rustic Ritual Beauty to rebuild. Their donation provided resources we could never have managed alone and gave us the chance to start fresh in a new home in Asheville’s South Slope. Their support wasn’t just financial—it was a reminder that resilience and community go hand in hand.

Today, Rustic Ritual Beauty is back and stronger than ever. Our new salon in South Slope carries forward the same mission: offering non-toxic salon services in Asheville that prioritize health, sustainability, and beauty without compromise. From intentional hair color to scalp therapy, everything we do is rooted in clean beauty principles.

While Hurricane Helene may have destroyed our first location, it didn’t destroy our vision. Thanks to Operation Blessing and the unwavering support of our clients and neighbors, we’re proud to welcome you back—this time with even more gratitude and determination.

Rustic Ritual Beauty is proof that even after the storm, beauty and resilience can grow again.

From the Mountains of Wyoming to Asheville: The Journey of Our Lip & Cheek Tint

It all begins with an idea.

Every great idea starts with a vision—and for Rustic Ritual Beauty, it began in the wide-open skies of Wyoming. Surrounded by rugged beauty and endless adventure, I imagined a two-in-one makeup line made for adventure professionals on the go. Something simple, clean, and effective that could keep up with a lifestyle spent outdoors, on the move, or balancing work and travel.

That vision became our first product: the Rustic Ritual Beauty Lip & Cheek Tint. Created with clean ingredients, it delivers natural color while nourishing the skin—perfect for those who want multitasking products that fit seamlessly into their day. No fuss, no excess, just beauty that moves with you.

Over time, what started as a single product grew into something much bigger. My passion for clean beauty and sustainable self-care led me back to Asheville, NC, where Rustic Ritual Beauty has transformed into a full salon and product line. Today, our Asheville salon carries forward the same spirit of that original vision: intentional, non-toxic beauty designed for real life.

Whether it’s a lip and cheek tint that fits in your pocket or a transformative salon service in the heart of South Slope, our mission is the same—to help you feel confident, cared for, and connected to the beauty of simplicity.

From Wyoming’s mountain trails to Asheville’s creative streets, Rustic Ritual Beauty is proof that vision, adventure, and resilience can bloom into something beautiful.
