I started going to Rita 2yrs ago based on these very citysearch reviews. I never wrote a review in return, but after recent experiences, here I am.
I am low maintainence and have simple requests when I get into the chair. Rita has given me great cuts time after time that don't require a lot of maintainence, but that don't look basic either. I always leave with a stylish new look (and money left in my pocket).
After getting to know Rita through my visits, I learned that she adds makeup artist and colorist to her list of many talents. So I booked her for my wedding day makeup and hair. She was super accomodating and highly attentive, and my entourage and I couldn't be happier with our looks - natural, elegant, and above all, lasting in muggy August weather!
Last week I got a trim and with Rita's recommendation, a gloss. My hair - which is untreated - looks highlighted. It's got shine and more body and looks fabulous.
I highly suggest you see Rita! Not only is she super talented and priced VERY reasonably, but she's a warm and wonderful person too! That's a hard combo to find in NYC.
Pros: talented, creative, accomodating
Cons: none
