Rizos Spa

I’ve been getting my hair done at Rizos for a major part of my life. I’ve been a customer here for about 18 – 19 years, from picture day, 18^th birthday, prom, weddings and just a regular blow dry, Rizos was there for my hair and nails needs. I’ve moved from Corona within the past few years and I still make the trip to my old hood because they are that good.
Back in November 2015 I came in to get a Balayage but the lady I got was new to the place and did an ombré instead, it wasn’t what I wanted but I still liked how my hair came out. This time I waited for Summer 16 to redo what I wanted and I made sure I got the girl I needed for the job. I emailed Edith and got an appointment. Edith is the best and she’s forever booked, I made my June 11^th appointment back in early March. After she did my hair she said she’s booked for August and that she has some spots available to tone my hair in September. Yes folks she’s that good just follow her on IG to see her great work. I even set my Costa Rica vacation to come back on time for my appointment.
Back in the day when I started coming here, Rizos was very small and you had to go to the second floor to a much smaller place to get your nails done. Throughout the years this place expanded and bought the place next door and now the place is enormous, since then they do more than just hair and nails. The nail technicians take their time with all of their clients and I have no complaints with them. They are a little more pricey than most nail salons but these ladies get the job done and the nail polish last longer too. People travel from all lover to come here but make sure you book an appointment because if not you will be waiting for an available technician for hours, I noticed that the same ladies who did my nails back in the 90’s are no longer there, heard some of them open up a nail salon nearby and since then they have new ladies.
Hands down this is my favorite Dominican hair/​nail salon that I come to.

2^nd time I was here. Color didn’t come out at all as expected and showed on the color chart. Looks white and u can see blue in the reflection of the light. Person who did my hair said one price at first (which was over 200) than when it was time to pay she told the receptionist $ 10 more than what she told me. this was just for color and blow I didn’t even cut my
I didn’t have enough to tip her when I told her I was going to get cash out for her she said she’s going out too that she would come which was very hasty. Really didn’t expect this at all definitely last time I’m coming here, fixing it somewhere else tomorrow.

Having curly and thick hair, it’s hard to find a hair salon who can manage my hair while not causing damage to it. I had always heard great things about Rizos from my curly-​haired friends, and looking back I can’t believe I waited so long to give them a try! For starters, my first time there was a Saturday, which we all know is one of the busiest days to go to a hair salon. This is never a problem for Rizos. They are always fully-​staffed — as soon as I walked in, they immediately sat me down to wash my hair. The products they use smell great and they protect your hair from heat-​damage, so your hair doesn’t smell burnt after a blowdry. They finish my blowdry in about 30 minutes, and I have a LOT of hair. Once it’s finished, my hair smells great, looks shiny and silky, and most importantly, it looks HEALTHY. I love all of the stylists and don’t have a preference when I go– they are all so friendly, and each of them do an AMAZING job! I won’t go anywhere else.

I went two more times to get my nails done and it just got progressively worse. They literally looks like big blobs on my nails and they were almost falling off immediately after getting them done. Needless to say, the girl that did my nails is no longer there. Now, on to the other part of my review.
I went there today to do my hair. I have long curly hair (down to my lower back) and I BARELY get my hair done professionally. I love my job they did! I got a base color with some highlights and lowlights, a trim and some layers in the front. Overall, I like what Dileo’s work. I did bring in a picture for reference. My hair feels super soft not damaged at all, which it usually looks damaged immediately after getting dyed. I guess she’s my go to stylist now.

I absolutely love this salon, it is very beautiful! I go there to get my hair done with Edith and only Edith! Hands down that girl is the best! She has amazing skills. Edith is very sweet, funny and very friendly. She is always booked, which just tells you that she is good at what she does. I highly recommend going to get your hair done by her, just be sure to set up and appointment in advance. Prices are also very affordable, compared to what I use to pay in the city.

I started going to Rizo’s a few years ago and it was the best decision. Damaris is the best stylist and always does an amazing job. Love her work and would recommend her to anyone. If your looking for a stylist contact her for a consultation. You will not be disappointed.

My first experience there TERRIBLE Customer service. Damaris rushed me and told me she doesn’t have the hair color I want. For being a «professional» I was truly dissapointed. She was then rushing me to pick another color that I did NOT want. She then even said if you don’t pick soon someone else is going to do your hair. To make things short she has a BIG attitude and it’s not professional at all. Ended up leaving because she does not know how to treat her customers.
**Also I booked an appointment online on their website but apparently I was told it doesn’t work that way… so why make it an option online?

HORRIBLE SERVICE I was charged $ 230 for an extremely SLOPPY and RUSHED job. My very very curly hair was bleached and I paid 100 extra for the olaplex and they did not care to even leave the step number two which is the leave in treatment LEFT IN ! For not even a minute she washed my hair and it did not even feel clean and she didn’t even run a comb through my curly hair. I told them I get a roller set done every time I get my hair done and they told me I could not because it was Sunday and they did not have time. So she just went ahead and started blow drying my very curly hair that she didn’t even run a comb through she started blow drying my hair and I could already tell she did not even feel like doing it and it was going to turn out horribly. she was leaving all my roots wet I told her to not even try because I will be going to my lady’s salon. I give it a star because I have to and because the color was okay but besides that it was horrible, never again. Unless the colorist moves to another place. But it’s definitely not even worth it

I recently went here to do my hair. First off you never get seen on time. Overall place is nice inside but I had a girl do my hair here and she was suppose to color my hair but she had difficulty getting the color I wanted in my hair. The job wasn’t successfully done here. She had to do it a second time and still wasn’t established right. I would not come back here ever again.

So I found this place on Instagram and I decided to make an appointment with Edith so I can do ombré. Still skeptical I decided to go. This place is beautiful! I didn’t know it was a spa! While doing the color I was able to do a full set of tips which came out amazing and while the treatment was in my hair I got a pedicure downstairs! Best pedicure I’ve ever gotten! I absolutely love the way my hair came out she used olaplex so my hair wouldn’t fall out and it worked this is the first time I’ve had a blondish color on my hair and it didn’t fall out! I really like this place and will be going back!

I recently visited this salon to get grey ombré done and it was horrible. They charged me $ 180 dollars, bleached my hair, and got the color and style all wrong. I showed them multiple picture examples and it wasn’t even close. Then when I returen to get it fixed the owner made a dozen excuses without asking any questions about my experience. Claiming that they’ve been looking for this grey color that everyone wants and that the hairdresser did the best she could do. I spent 20 mins trying to explain to her that the blonde on my head was just not what I asked for. She then agreed to fix it but said I’d have to pay $ 20 for the blow out. Which is just ridiculous!!! (she literally only cares about the money and will NOT give money back) I argued it and she backed down. They didnt even succeed at fixing it. They put toner in to dim down the yellow tones and my hair still wasnt grey but I figured I’d rather take the loss then go back.

I went to Rizos today for a wash and blow. My mom frequents this place and her stylist always does a nice job, so I figured I give this place a try. I was very happy with the results and I am glad I gave them a try. They were super fast, clean and really know how to work with all different types of hair. I have received a lot of compliments and I will be visiting this place often.

Its all about the $$ not your hair. All of my hair fell off after my stylist put keratin in it (btw my hair was already relaxed). Later I found out that you cannot put keratin treatment on relaxed hair. Now I have to find a cute short do for xmas cause I have to chop what’s left of my hair off. Bummed. I really liked this place.

I have very curly hair and it is so hard for me to find a salon that can actually make my hair tamed pin straight with no japanese straightener or keratin treatment.; or they can flip it up making my hair look like Marilyn Monroe pinup style. It all depends what you want but I am sure that Rizo’s can fulfill your request when it comes to hair styles.
I used to do my hair with Janet but unfortunately she no longer works there but that didn’t stop me from trying another stylist that I stopped going to because she has too many clients and there obviously is a reason for it because she is the bomb. I now have to make an appt. at least 1 day in advanced so that i can get the peluquera that i want if not their are several other hairstylists that can make your hair look salon selective. You will not be disappointed with the outcome trust me I am as picky as they get and I always manage to leave feeling like a princess.
I highly recommend Ana she is an adorable friendly woman and i absolutely love going to Rizo’s to see her for my hair needs.
You an bring your own deep conditioner and they will not charge you extra however if you don’t then you can request for deep conditioning for an extra charge of $ 5. Conveniently there is a beauty supply down the block on the other side of the street with really good prices way cheaper than Astoria or Manhattan. I always get my name brand hair goods there like Alfa Parf, Macadamia Oil, Salerm, etc.
Do the right thing and tip the ladies who wash your hair and your stylists because their prices are inexpensive compared to these high end salons that charge an arm and a leg for a crappy job.
With that being send i def recommend.

I have been here to see Ada several times. She does a phenomenal job! Before i started going to her my hair was a disaster, it would grow like an inch every 6 months and had zero volume/​style to it. Ada worked her magic and within the 2 years that I have been seeing her my hair went from a short bob to my lower back. And added plus is the price — ~$ 40 with tip! My stylist-​hopping days are over!

I always walked by rizos going to the train on 103^rd, but never decided to stop in, that was until valentines 2011 my normal eyebrow place was not only packed, but VERY rude to me. Walking home I passed Rizos again and decided to give it a shot.
not only is it very beautiful inside, but CLEAN, well organized, and everyone seemed friendly for the 2 mins i talked to them. They do wax and thread eyebrow shaping, i chose the wax for $ 6 (average price in the area) The waxing room was downstairs (2 floors) and very nice inside, comfy table/​bed to lie down on, and the lady was very nice, striking up a casual conversation which I didn’t mind.
I brought my friend there as well and she loved it, she’s from out of state, and said she will wait to come to NY. I havent done my hair there yet, but i made an appointment for next week.

This is where I’ve been doing my hair since I was a little girl, I’ve been going here since my aunt has been going here back in 2000. They do excellent work and aren’t over priced. I always get my hair done by Dori. Please go!
