What People Are Saying About Rita Hazan

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

In Short – Moving her solo venture to a larger space, celebrity stylist Rita Hazan has pulled together a salon-spa hybrid filled with lively, happy energy. Music pumps down a long corridor of treatment rooms (for microdermabrasion, facials, and a revolutionary spray-on tanning that goes on clear) to a buzzing room where stylists converse with their clients, seated in mod white leather chairs before sunken mirrors. Eyebrow guru Ramy also calls the space home, and has toted his line of makeup along, too.

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
A cut and style ranges from $150 to $500, depending on the stylist.
What to Drink:
Cappuccino and espresso is on offer in terms of beverages.
The Extras:
For the publicity shy, the just plain shy, and men who shy away from women's salons but want the services, there's a VIP room hidden away and equipped with a TV, fax machine and laptop.
Manicures:
Standard manis are $30 and pedis are $70, but why go with the norm when you can get one with champagne ($40 for the mani, $85 for the pedi, or $120 for both)?
ambiance
90.0% positive
  1. People are friendly, they get you whatever you like to drink, and I found the vibe and decor to be pretty mellow, although a non-New Yorker might say different.
  2. Her salon is very nice but certain people on her staff have major attitude and don't make you feel comfortable at all.
  3. The salon was beautiful and fun!
  4. the decor was okay and yeah music was good but who cares about that I went there for hair !
  5. waited over 45 min to see my clorist Carrie she seemed nice but I didn't get a comfortable assured feeling with her , when I was describing what I wanted she just seemed to say okay with a blank spacey stare.

service

  1. The manager Erin, was super sweet and offered a mimosa, which I thought was so cool!
  2. Very disappointing - rushed, rude service
  3. Wherever I go people compliment me on my color asking me where I get it done.
  4. not only was she a rude person but she was not such a great colorist!
  5. horrible service, Rita is the worst colorist ever!
  6. Her salon is very nice but certain people on her staff have major attitude and don't make you feel comfortable at all.
  7. read the other reviews and have to say that Rita was very nice but very busy and maybe that is why people thought in the other reviews that she was not that friendly.
  8. Otherwise, people will be tunred off to go to what I must say is the best salon in NYC
  9. Listen, for good service and results, I will spend the money.
  10. Luckily, I've found another place for half the price with wonderful talented people who listen and pride themselves on good service and building repeat clientele.
  11. Their service is terrible and their pricing is inconsistent.
  12. But I called up and spoke with a very friendly and helpful receptionist who instructed me that for my price range I could see another colorist who was trained by Rita.
  13. From the wonderful people and the amazing cuts and spectacular color from Rita, we would never leave!
  14. First of all, Rita and her staff are the most warm and welcoming staff at any salon I have ever been to.
  15. Rita was not warm or friendly.
  16. Amazing staff
  17. am always greeted by her warm unpretensious staff and taken promptly.
  18. People are friendly, they get you whatever you like to drink, and I found the vibe and decor to be pretty mellow, although a non-New Yorker might say different.
  19. Rita isn't friendly at all, I had to sit and wait with other clients while she got her make-up done, and after waiting she wasn't apolagetic at all.
  20. All that aside, the staff is friendly enough, in an "LA, I don't really care how you are but asking to be polite" kind of way.
  21. Amazing service, Amazing results, everytime.

Rita is a mean lady! Color is Bad always too light!

by yuu

Rita has a horrible personality, no social skills and is full of BS. She is just not a nice person, very mean!!! The color she gives you is great in the beginning and then she goes lighter and lighter so you need to come in more often, the name of the game is money, she does not care about the way you look all she cares about is the bottom line, MONEY. Not a true artist as she doesn't care how you look when you leave she doesn't care to even see you before you leave, she is always busy getting her makeup done, self centered and mean. Money is her God, not true artistry. Give your money to a nice person, there are many talented nice people out there!!!! She needs to learn about spirituality maybe her weight would stop going up and down.

please don“t go

by Wallstreet02

Experience in Rita Hazan salon was overall bad. If you pay such a big money for your hairdresser or makeup artist you should get nice treat. I was amazed that hairstylist talked behind their customers. Non acceptable attitude. It made me feel very vulnerable and bad after I left salon. My makeup artist was a nicest guy but did not take my previous makeup properly away, did not do basement (under the makeup at all..)so makeup did not last long.I do better job myself. Not worth of 250UDS! Just please, Don´t waist your money here.

Are you here for hair or a hug??

by srymazz

Listen, you make an appointment and pay the money for the service. You're hair is a mess and needs an update. Rita may not coddle you, but she tells you like it is. She is up front about pricing and the fact that this takes time and it may not even be exactly what you want you're first time, but after a few visits, you're hair will not only be the color you seek, but will be healthy as well. Ive been to too many salons where the promise something that cant happen, fry your hair just to take your money. She is young, modern and beyond talented, but its an investment. She doesnt push products or put you down, but rather tries to relate to what you have been through and what your lifestyle is. I felt comfortable in my sweats and was treated very well by her staff; the manager Erin, and her color assistant Nicole were more than acommodating, even setting me up with a haircut when I didnt make an appointment. Love the salon, love the staff, love the hair..annnd I was out in 2hours!

Rita is Horrible

by alli3fire

So, I decided to fork up the $ for Rita. The color was fine, nothing special, my hair was a little dry and just a little brassy. I thought it looked okay. I read that she was rude but I didn't want to believe it. Honestly, though, she really is rude and condescending.

She wanted me to lighten my base and then get highlights. I have been getting natural highlights for years without lightening my base and been very happy with the results. I was hesitant to lighten my base, not unwilling, just hesitant and asked a few questions about the process and she was beyond rude. I am a professional, calm, woman and I still can't believe how horrible she was just for asking questions. On top of that, I paid $750 for an less than average color. She spent a total of 15 minutes with me. She will not spend a lot of time with you, please know she works on multiple clients at the same time and you will not get her undivided attention despite the high price. I almost laughed at how bad it was except it killed my pocketbook.

AMAZING COLORIST

by dmgal

I loved the color I got from Rita yesterday! I have gone through no less than 4 colorists in the last 6 months in an attempt to correct my brassy highlights. Discouraged, I decided to invest in Rita to correct my hair color. Within a few hours, she had made my hair color exactly what I wanted. Incredible!! So worth the investment!!!
