What People Are Saying About Borja Color Studio Salon

Featured Review

The Scene – A favorite of chic celebrities, classy uptowners and quite a few magazine editors, this light-filled, second-floor space is presided over by the quietly friendly French-import Borja and a top-notch staff. – – The Services – Stylists carefully asses each client before hand-mixing an appropriate hair color with French-made dyes so natural and ammonia-free they are even safe for pregnant women. Color is then painted on with a brush, almost strand by strand, to create depth and definition; finished hair is treated with a gloss to seal in the color and add…

Borja Color Studio is Awesome!

by deborah sakrpness

There is no trip to New York for me without a visit to Borja Color Studio. This Spring Break was no exception. I came back looking younger, with a cute haircut and GORGEOUS color. Love the highlights Borja suggested. Thank you Borja. I'll be back again soon. Love it!!

Stunning color, fantastic service

by OBB

I discovered Borja Color Studio after getting disasterous color from another hairdresser. I found them in New York Mag's "Best of" listings. Danke fixed my color FLAWLESSLY on that first visit (a labor-intensive project for her that she made a pleasure for me--wine, cheese, lovely low-key atmosphere) and I've been going back for 7 years. The color is always PERFECT, it looks totally natural whether I'm getting one process to cover the gray or two processes to add some highlights, and they ALWAYS accomodate my schedule for appointments, whether I need "the works" before a big event or an emergency cover-my-roots fix when I can steal away from the office, they make room for me in their busy day. I could not ask for better service, better prices, or a more satisfying experience year after year. And I have seen many of the same faces there with me year after year--there is no better recommendation than a loyal clientele and these ladies have earned that in spades.

Color at Borja

by pavle

Many NY hair salons are all about the 'show off' not quality of service. At Borja, they are courteous and unpretentious, yet classy. It is a most professional hair salon.

The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and they don't make me feel that I need to impress them when I walk in. On the contrary, they try very hard to impress me by making sure they do a great job. I have been going there for hair color for a decade. Danka is an artist with a keen eye for the right color shade and the head massage I get when the assistant washes my hair, toppled with a glass of the best Chardonnay anyone serves on 57th street, complete a perfect experience in one of the best hair salons in the city.
