Had my hair colored with Jennifer, first time. She was friendly, professional and spent a good amount of time discussing my color and her recommendation. Very happy with the result. She did a nice blow out too. Will be going back-good service all around. read more

I have lived in New York for over 40 years and have been to almost every famous and exclusive salon. There are many great hairdressers in the city. My hairdresser was also a dear friend of mine. When he passed away a few years ago I knew that I couldn't replace his friendship but a friend recommended a new hairdresser - Ania. I thought that it would take months to find someone I liked to do my hair. I am very fussy. I was shocked and delighted to find Ania so quickly. She is amazing. She does cut and color and I love the salon. It is comfortable, friendly and just a pleasure. Her prices are reasonable and she goes out of her way to accommodate me - sometimes squeezing me in when I have a sudden event to attend. I always walk out feeling good! I would highly recommend the salon and in particular, Ania herself although everyone there is nice, welcoming, and professional. By the way, I also ended up with a new friend as a bonus! read more

There is nobody more highly skilled, creative and pleasant to work with than Ania at this neighborhood gem of a salon.

Ania is amazing, and I am so so so glad that I came to see her. My boyfriend and his family highly recommended that I make an appointment with Ania as they have known her (and gotten their hair done here) for years. I had a specific color in mind, and she did better. I was looking for a dark, sexy brunette with cool and ashy tones. I have received SO many compliments from friends and strangers that its the perfect color for my skin tone. I've finally found it with her help! Thanks so much Ania, you're amazing and I will certainly be returning :) read more

I have been coming here for cut/ color with Ai. Highly recommend!

My roommate and I decided to skip Drybar and opt for a blowout from this salon on our block instead. The price was higher but I give 2 stars for convenience and the fact they could fit us in the same day as I called to make the appointments. My stylist was critical of every aspect of my being for the next hour while she blew dry and curled my hair. My hair was too thin, breaks too easily, has been colored poorly, my boyfriend should not have stopped by to say hello, I was sitting unevenly, I was looking at my phone too much, etc. Her scoffing and rolled eyes did not end. I asked for loose waves, and she insisted on using a 1/2 inch barrel and pinning each curl to set. Even after asking her if maybe she should use a thicker barrel and not set because I didn't want to look like a poodle, she said I didn't know what I was talking about. Spoiler: I looked like a poodle. I regret paying $100 for an unfriendly stylist and a style that I did not like at all. The haircut was pretty good though (hence 2 stars). Take your money elsewhere! At least at Drybar, you know you will walk out with the style you ask for. read more

Ania Rybka Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Based on a recommendation from a friend, Lilli did not disappoint! She did exactly what I wanted and more! Great salon! I will be back!

I have been going to Ania for years. I have always been super happy with the cuts, blow outs and color. This year, I decided I would straighten my hair for the summer season since my hair is hopelessly frizzy in humid conditions. The straightening was long and laborious, Ania went out of her way to make sure every stand was straightened numerous times. Her dedication and devotion was truly remarkable and very appreciated because the end result is spectacular. I am beyond thrilled and now feel like I should have done this sooner. After the straightening I wanted to color my hair a shade darker since the solution stripped the color. Ania suggested I wait a day. She wanted me to live with the new light color because she was sure I would come to my senses and leave it lighter. She was absolutely right. When I got home I got plenty of compliments from my husband and kids. And when I looked in the mirror I loved what I saw. So I booked an appointment to touch up my roots (which Ania matched perfectly) and I was floored at how amazing my color was. SO HAPPY. read more

I've never dealt with such a patient and kind stylist as Lili!!! She is absolutely amazing and has hands of gold, I came in with dark brown hair wanting to go blonde and not the yellow kind that you get at other salons but Platinum and Lili was able to over achieve exactly want I wanted in one shot, and WITHOUT completely damaging my hair, which was pretty surprising, but like I said LILI has hands of GOLD! Would deff. Recommend going to Lili for all your hair needs! read more

I went in to get an angled hair cut or long bob... I hadn't cut my hair after straightening precisely for this. I ended up having a terrible hair cut.100$ for nothing. read more

Horrible I would not recommend going to this salon at all only employed for one day prices seem to be high for their mediocre services just from a one day experience read more

I love this salon and I love my stylist Lili. Before the Covid Pandemic I was getting a blow dry once or twice a week. When the Pandemic came I was doing my hair myself as best as I could. Then in October 2021 I had a wedding and decided it was time to get my hair done professionally again. The salon I had been going to had moved. I would often pass Ania Rybka Salon on my many walks abe decided to give it a try. I couldn't have been happier. Everyone is very friendly and the stations are not on top of each as in many salons. Most importantly Lili listens to me. I am very particular about my bangs and she takes great care to be sure I am happy with them!! I now go every week to get a blow dry and just had my haired colored there too. Lili did a great job of matching my color!! I have finally found a great salon!! read more

Maria, the hair extension operator decided in her mind that I don't trust her and when I went to book an appointment 6 months later she had words to tell me find someone else. I was a little in shock because she held in our mind for so long that I did not trust her. This is a hair salon!! I am not part of her family. lol I guess I ask to many questions and that made her mad and she decided that I did not trust her and she compared hair extensions to selling bikinis. I know that hair extensions is a service and bikinis are a product. Find another place that does hair extensions without drama and everything so sensitive and who works with you and not thinks every questions you ask like how many hair extensions come in a pack that immediately think you don't trust them. By the way I found another place!!! read more

I have been going to this salon for about 2 plus months now. Lili does my hair and she always does a fantastic job with the color and my highlights! Everyone is super friendly and accommodating. Ania the owner one time recently stayed a few hours after hours with me getting my hair just the way I wanted it and she wanted me to leave as a happy customer and did not mind staying late with me to ensure I left satisfied. You can tell that she really cares about her customers and she is super friendly and accommodating. She also did a fantastic job on my hair. This is a great salon with great hair color. The best blonde hair color I have come across in all NYC so far. Please give them a shot! You won't regret it they are great! Thank you read more

I have been going to Ania Rybka for a few years now and thought I was a valued customer. Ania had her assistant call me at 4:30 pm on a Friday to cancel my 5:00 pm appointment. She did this because there was a keratin treatment at the same time, and she remembered I had told her many times I could not be in the salon as I was allergic to the toxic keratin fumes. I told the assistant that I had a big important event Sat night and desperately needed my hair colored. I offered to come in at 6:00 pm as I had made my appt two weeks in advance. Ania said no and that she could only take me five days later the following week. I had been invited downtown that evening to go on a boat but had declined because I desperately needed my hair colored as I have dark hair and, at this point, very gray roots. I am very disappointed that Ania does not know how to treat a valuable steady client. I will say Jennifer is fantastic, as is Ai, who has cut my hair, and I give both of them five stars but Ania I give 1 star sadly. read more

I have been Ania's client for more then 3 years now. Ania is extremly talented ,She is true artist. I used to have highlights,.very blond for few years. I love it each time when she did them. Last year I decided to go back to my natural dark blond/brown color. I was scared but Ania said she can do it. And she did, And I love it again..... it was perfect , she matched my natural color so I did not have to do roots every 6 weeks . I came back for refreshing after 6 months and she did amazing job again. But mu husband likes me more in blond, so I saw Ania today and told her I want go back to blond. She said it will be not easy but she can do it. She was right again, I am back to color what I wanted, my hair are shiny, looks healthy ..... I can not believe someone can do this kind of magic during single visit in salon. Perfections. ANITA read more

I was in the city for a few days and was recommended to see Ai. I was having some major hair loss from over processing... and SHE FIXED ME! We went more natural with the color and she gave me a great cut! Will be back for sure!!! read more

I've been going to Ania for almost a decade and I refuse to go anywhere else. She is the GODDESS of hair styling! I have very long thick hair and it's always a daunting task to undertake for any stylist especially when I ask for extreme layers, a new base color, AND highlights. Ania ALWAYS delivers beyond my expectations every time. Not only that, but she and her staff are very professional and you can tell she cares for them as well as her clients well being. The studio is VERY clean and always up to date with the latest decor, styling tools, and products. She's normally ahead of the game with products and techniques before anybody else has them too! The prices are pretty reasonable too for the UES. Ania's laidback, fun energy permeates throughout the salon, she knows you by name when you walk in the door, and she always listens to exactly the goal you want for your hair. If you want a color on your hair that "isn't in the book" she'll combine a few to get you the color YOU want and nobody else will have. Simply put: GO. TO. THIS. SALON. read more

I came here looking for a color correction. After the last place I went my hair was burnt and destroyed. In comes Maria!Wow she made my hair come to life again! She was able to fix the color. I ended up placing some hair extension until my hair grew back little. I am so happy with how everything came out. I really liked how professional maria was and how she prioritized the health of my hair. Will be going back to her for sure. read more

I love this salon! It's the best salon on the Upper East Side! It is a small cute boutique salon - non of that pretentious stuff that you see around. Just good stylists and great products. Maria is the best hair stylist! I don't let anyone but her touch my hair! I get my highlights done by her, my root color and extensions. I always get so many compliments on my hair- I look like I stepped out of a magazine! I don't know how she does it- she is truly an artist! Definitely recommend her! read more

EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN & DISINFECTED IN THE DAYS OF THE CORONAVIRUS My long-time hairdresser moved to this salon over a year ago. It is always pleasant to visit and, of course, I have been very happy with my hair coloring and cuts. Today, 3/19/2020, I had an appointment. In these anxiety filled days, I wondered if I should be visiting the salon, but I wanted my treatment and also wanted to support a small business. Ania is carefully scheduling appointments so that the salon is not crowded. Clients are not being put next to one another in chairs (at least one chair in between). All of the people working there are wearing masks and gloves (and changing gloves between clients). There is hand sanitizer, and all of the chairs and knobs are being wiped down regularly with Clorox wipes. I even saw them sanitizing the pen customers use to sign receipts! If you want to get your hair done and feel comfortable doing so, this is the place. read more

A non-pretentious and amazing salon with some of the best stylists around. I've been going to Ai (pronounced "eye") for my cut and color for over 15 years and I get stopped on the street on a weekly basis to ask who does my hair. I live downtown and still come up to the UES to get my hair done because she is THAT good. I highly recommend her to anyone! read more

I have been a client at Ania Rybka with Maria for 9+ years. I have lived on the UWS, the Bronx and Washington Heights and I have no problem traveling to the UES to see Maria. She is the only person I would trust with my hair. I let her make color changes, highlight and cut my hair as she wishes because she is an an amazing colorist, stylist and professional. After so many compliments on my hair, my Mom has traveled from Long Island and my cousins from the Bronx and Brooklyn to see Maria. The entire staff is friendly, respectful and customer service oriented. Ania, the owner of the salon, is top notch! I am always happy to refer Maria new clients because she listens to her customers and takes excellent care of them. Everyone who goes to Maria at Ania Rybka will be extremely satisfied with the end product. Simply the Best! read more

I was a walk into the salon, I began losing my hair from chemo yesterday and asked how much it would be to shave my head. After giving me a hug they buzzed my scalp free of charge and refused a tip. This act of kindness on a difficult day helped enormously. My regular hairdresser recently retired. They will gain a new customer when my hair returns. read more

Ania Rykba Salon is a FABULOUS Hair Salon!!! Great atmosphere, wonderful energy, and super nice and lovely hair cutters. Make sure to ask for Lili! She is always so precise with my hair cuts and has me walking out of the salon looking like a super model. ‍ read more

I don't normally do walkins when cutting my hair but i needed one before an important interview and Ania Rybka delivered! Everyone was pleasant and Maria one of the stylists who cut my hair had a radiant smile on her the whole time i was there! They just won themselves a regular! read more

Ania is a great hairstylist, and while I've only gotten my hair cut by her and not the other hair dressers I assume they are of the same caliber. Having left New York for a few months, I came back to have my hair cut by Ania. She noticed the texture of my hair seemed funny and said "did you get you haircut by someone else?" She clearly has an eye for quality to a fine detail. She is also very nice and a pleasure to talk with. The women who shampoo your hair are also very nice. Warning: this place is relatively expensive and does not take credit. Other than that I would certainly recommend. read more

I walked into this beautiful salon yesterday in desperate need of a haircut and wanting something a little different. Jennifer was awesome. She was very personable and gave me great suggestions. Everyone from the hair washer to the receptionist were so pleasant. This is a clean and very reasonable salon. I definitely recommend! read more

I've been going to Ania for 9 years and I NEVER let anyone else near my hair. Ania is a complete genius. I say this because we recently embarked on a pretty big project regarding my hair... So I am a natural brunette, with brown hair just about as dark as it gets. I've colored my hair with pink/blue/red/purple streaks and I've coated the whole lot of it in red tint-basically I've been to every hair frontier their is, except for one. I had never gone completely blonde. I decided going blonde was going to be my next experiment and of course I can only trust Ania to do it. She handled my hair (as she always does) with complete professionalism and care. It was a bit of a journey to bleach my whole head because I have colored my hair so many times, so parts came out different colors, but Ania evened out my whole head and put toner in that made it match my skin tone. Now, Ania, being the salon owner, is a busy lady, but she had the help of nearly every other hair specialist in her salon-together, they are a cohesive hair-doing machine. My thanks to everyone in the salon! I was a little worried going into the transformation, but Ania worked miracles on my head and I am even happier than I thought I'd be. I am forever loyal and indebted to you guys! (I can't figure out how to post a picture of my new hair on here, but I would if I could!) read more

This salon advertises as a moderate priced salon. Do not be fooled by the $$ signs. They charge $90 for a trim on a 9 year old. When questioned about the price they told me that if you are a walk-in client then the price is $80 but if you are recommended a stylist then the price is $90. My recommendation is to NOT go to this salon! Maria-we will not be coming back! read more

eeded a keratin treatment, I get one 3 times a year for the last 5 plus yrs!!! I was looking for a new place as my stylist is now in Brooklyn and I live on the upper east side. A few salons were recommended to me.... I went to all 3 and spoke w/ someone there re/ their keratin options!!!! Well needless to say I chose Ania Rybka and was using Ania herself. She convinced me of a new type of keratin called Magic Sleek!!! More expensive but NO CHEMICALS!!! Also said it retains your body in your hair instead of being chinese straight...I was sold and made an appt!! Here goes.... I have the process done and while she is hot ironing it...my hair which is normally brunette w blonde highlights is now BLONDE BLONDE BLONDE!!!!! I am devastated!! Of course she says no worries she is going to fix it!!! Well fix it??? I now have black [Dark dark dark brown] hair w coppery highlights...UGH!!! She says you see you look just the same as you did before...who is she kidding!!! But I paid my bill and even tipped because I am me... I waited a couple of days and washed my hair...the body that she said I would have is no where to be seen...my hair is limp and straight!!!!!! Wow...never never after washing my hair w keratin have I had such limp hair Anyway I decided to call Sleek Hair to see what can be done. First lie - THERE ARE CHEMICALS!!!! They just say they are less harsh chemicals..... 2nd lie - they tell all the salons they use to warn customers that there color might get very light??? Never told me ... Last Sleek Hair contacted the salon and asked her to go step thru step what she did. Well they realized she didn't rinse out the product before flat ironing it and therefore all color was stripped from my hair and I have limp hair. Sleek Hair called me back and told me what went wrong and apologized . They said since the hair is so dark underneath I can't do anything until the non permanent hair color she used washes out and then I can color my normal color. Also they claim the body will come back w/ in a month . Did I mention I paid alot more for this process than a normal keratin, I was thrilled to hear no chemicals and body in my hair!!!! Now I just want to not look in a mirror for a month!!! Please no ANIA!!!!!! Other people who work there might be great...but please do not make the same mistake I made. Last Ania told Sleek Hair if I wasn't happy I should come back in and she will fix it....I told them I will never go there and trust her again!!! Fool me once but please!!! read more
