Ritas Hair Salon & Spa 96-58 Queens Boulevard, Queens, NY 11374

"I came in to get a part shave and trim. The back of my head was messed up after many barbers misinterpreted what I wanted and Rosie fixed it up. I went with no appointment after the groupon I got for another salon was rejected. Was in a bad mood but felt so much better once she took care of me. I love my hair!"

"I have been here a total of three times and all three times there was something that made me uncomfortable. I live in the area and kept giving it a chance in hopes of it getting better. They do decent work but my biggest issue is the customer service. They constantly change the price throughout the service and I would go as far to say they discriminate against people of color. My last visit I went in for a blowout and a younger brunette woman, unprompted, told me my color wasn't great (after I informed her I didn't get it done there) and that I should let them fix it. I was really happy with my color and found it uncalled for. I denied her suggestion. Then she noticed I just had a mani/pedi done and asked to see my nails and then said "You should come here instead." After my blowout, she spoke directly to the stylist (Rosa, I believe) and said "Do her roots next time" - again, I did not go in for color nor did I have a desire to touch up my roots. I walked out feeling completely judged from head to toe. I have not gone back since and don't plan to."

"I’ve been going to Rita’s ever since the fall for my haircuts with Albina (who I love). She knows how to cut my type 2B/C curls. On and off I consulted with Ella to get Pro Addiction on my hair to tame the frizziness, reduce daily maintenance, improve styling outcomes and promote healthy hair growth. I decided to go all in and I’ve already noticed a difference in the amount of shedding. I’m so happy with my hair. Even in just a week I’ve got so much more time back in my routine and I can’t wait to see how much my hair looks as time goes on. Thank you so much, Ella and Albina, for collaborating to get my pro addiction done in short notice while managing a busy Sunday afternoon at the salon (I also had a laser appointment that day midway through the treatment - they were super flexible). Everything was explained to me - the whole process, benefits, aftercare, which I really appreciated. Thank you!!!"

"I recently got my nails done and honestly I loved it. My nail artist was Margaret (i think thats her name) and she was so sweet and gentle. Not once did I feel uncomfortable. All the staff was very sweet. Compared to other places, their gel manicures are amazing. Not too thick of an application and the way she trimmed my cuticles. I loved it ♥️ after she was done I was so happy I wanted to give her a hug. Ella was also very accommodating and explained to me the different manicures available. Very sweet and welcoming. Will be my go to salon for mani and pedis for sure!"
