Go to Edita for color

by alexvn

I am an international student and I am so glad that I don't have to keep looking for a good colorist in the US. Edita is not just good- she is AMAZING, and such a nice person too. I came in with a horrible dye job and I left the salon a different person. She was incredibly conscientious and seems very devoted to her work and her clients. The two hour train I took to go see her were totally worth it. She will make you look--and feel--beautiful!

Best blond highlights ever !!

by aovss99

I JUST LOVE PATRICIA R...... don't know how I'll survive without her, now that I can't come back to NYC on a regular basis. I used to live in NYC and then moved to Scottsdale, but thank goodness work always brought me back, and i was able to get my hair highlights. I tried hi end, low end, mid end ...you name it (even Vidal Sassoon) salons in Scottsdale and no one was able to give me the natural blond highlights that I asked for, you know like Jennifer Aniston. I showed a picture to Patricia and she got me right away...this was 6 Years ago... SHE IS THE BEST BLOND COLORIST OUT THERE!! I will miss her for sure!! She is caring , accommodating, sweet and very professional and knowledgeable, and she will tell you what will work and what will not work, which is great, since she does know best. I always leave feeling like a Million bucks (with the exception of some of the blow outs form the beginners).. and i don't mind spending the cash as i know I'm getting a great color. (I used to go to John Barrett salon, but the color wasn't that great and it was crazy expensive).

My friends even ask if I highlight my hair or is it natural, NOW THAT IS THE ULTIMATE COMPLIMENT!!

If you want Natural looking highlights go to Patricia Ribiero!!

Have your highlights done by Adita!

by nicolefara

I have been going to Adita to have my hair highlighted since my senior year of high school (I am now out of college). She's great- I don't even have to tell her what I want her to do anymore, I just sit down and every time my hair comes out looking great. It's always a really enjoyable experience!

This Place Rocks

by xandria1971

I had originally picked the this salon just because they participatein the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program -- (every single Wednesday you can schedule for a great free cut by a talented stylist when you donate a min of 8 inches of hair). Didn't know what to expect- I mean for free. Well this staff and stylist ROCK! I was greated by kind welcomeing people. My stylist, James was kind warm and listed to what I had to say; I was able to do good deed and still get quality service. I will go back as a paying customer!

EDITA the best hair colorist on the eastern seaboard!

by Chimay

I've been to the most popular and expensive colorists' in the city, but none live up to their hype or PRICE! My friend turned me on to Edita and while I lost the friend I kept EDITA!

Always on time, always caring, but above all, talented.

What sets her apart from the others is the amount of thought and care she gives to achieve the perfect color balance and depth for my skin color.
