I got a blow out. All the stylists no matter who you choose are SO talented and my hair lasts all night where with typical blowouts it does not hold. read more

Stephanie is phenomenally talented. Her precision with extensions and her exquisite, long-lasting blowouts are not to be missed!

My hair looked the best it's ever been! Blowout still looks fab on day 3! Ask for Stephanie! read more

RPZL - Hair Extensions Near Me - New York, New York

When I'm in NY, I don't carry products. I get blowouts instead. I'm high maintenance like that. I've used RPLZ twice now since my regular spot closed due to covid. It's a new location. It's directly next to Sephora. -That's convenient. You have to get buzzed in and then take the elevator up. It's a new space and it's quite nice. They offer many packages depending on your hair. A basic blowout takes 45 min and is $55. Well worth it to me. Who wants to be on vacation with basic hair? Not me. read more

Stephanie was so helpful and understood what I wanted without adding bits and making it complicated.

As to not demean the styling service, the blowout was terrific. Stephanie even upsold me on a brush. I love the brush, however, I am knocking down 2 stars for the service on the back end by Lisa. My 3rd blowout in my package of 3 was not applied, and I was fully charged for a blowout as if I had not purchased the package. I have been in constant contact for three weeks providing my order information, including a copy of my package purchase and past service dates, without resolution. I will happily update my review once the refund transaction is completed. The blowout service from Stephanie was excellent. read more

Stephanie did an amazing job drying my difficult hair! I have very curly, dry, colored hair and she made my hair bouncy and smooth. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town! read more

Went for a last minute blowout and Stephanie gave me the best blowout of my LIFE! She was so quick and efficient. It lasted me the whole weekend! read more

Got a same day blowout and was so happy with the experience. The location is great (inside the equinox building in Rockefeller plaza) and my stylist Mercedes was such a professional. She got my curly hair pin straight in record time. Can't wait for an excuse to come back and don't forget to check out their accessories before you leave. I ended up getting a brush and headband, which were too cute to resist. read more

Found this salon on google and so glad I did. Stylist was on time, helpful and knew her stuff. Destiny was wonderful and my hair is still great a day later! And it's in Rockefeller Center, so close to work. read more

Destiny is literally the best and my hair looks amazing even the day after. No matter the style I ask for, she always nails it. and she is just a great person - everyone who works there is so sweet. I was having a horrible day because I got into a car accident and was running super late, and she was so accommodating and still took me late. On top of that, the other people in the salon let me stay in there in front of a mirror to do my makeup. they are the best!! will always keep coming back here read more

The hair stylists are friendly and really know what they're doing. They're also very much considerate of your time and it it done in a timely manner. Would highly recommend to get your blowout done with them. read more

I don't think I've ever had a more horrible experience at a salon in my life. For over $800 for half a head of extensions, you'd think you would get to experience a nice service. Instead, I was rushed through, the hair wash was awful. My shirt was soaked, water splashed all over my face and in my ears. Then the stylist poked me in the eye with her nail not once but twice. No one contacted me about color matching my hair ahead of time or asking me to come in early. The stylist was freaking out on her phone all nervous about having to go down to pick up the hair delivery. When it came it was jet black and my hair is dark brown. It was hard to tell with the lighting in the room so I will have to dye my hair at home. Never again will I ever return or recommend. read more

Best blow outs in the world. Period. I wish Stephanie would move to California because no one else can get my hair to look so beautiful and last for days! Whenever I'm in the city I have to get my hair done at RPZL because I feel and look great for my whole trip. The owner and stylists are all so sweet and considerate of the style I am looking for. Plus the salon is super cute and in a great central area. Cannot recommend enough. read more

My experience with RPZL was not one I can recommend. TLDR version: This business seems friendly and a tad aggressive before they get your money, but once they have it you are not relevant and they don't care if the job was done well. I had extensions for a short time, which ended up ripping out and destroying my natural hair. The owner was unresponsive and unhelpful in the process. I was excited to get keratin extensions and booked with their "top stylist". From the start, a few things were not great, but I rolled with it. 1. The color did not match my hair despite sending photos ahead of time. I was told to "tone it myself". 2. I booked a half head which I thought was enough for my thin hair. I was upsold to buy the full set for $1000+ upon arrival. Half was used and the stylist appeased me by saying I could keep the rest for the next appt. However, when I returned for them after using the restroom, I was told they were "thrown out". 3. I am not fussy about salon experiences. I expect average service at high turnover place. However this was an uncomfortable, unfriendly experience. They stylist was noticeably condescending as if I didn't know anything about hair or what I wanted bc I was new to keratin. At the end, she was weirdly pushy about the Venmo tip and hovered over me until I sent it which made me uneasy. (I always tip) I still was happy to have my extensions and wasn't fussed about the experience. The texture was unruly when I left but I figured I could fix at home. After leaving, I texted the stylist a simple question and didnt respond, despite being very responsive pre appt. Within 2 weeks my hair was very frizzy. They were supposedly remy hair but the texture felt synthetic. When it got unmanageable I emailed the owner for advice. I also expressed concern that a few extensions fell out in the first two week, taking my real hair with them. She offered no advice, but said it must be "my fault because no one complains about frizzy extensions" (clearly is not true based on other reviews). The suggestion was that I come in to get it styled. I returned despite living far away, was treated like an annoyance; the stylist said the only solution was to cut the frizzy extensions. I left with hair that was 4 inches shorter and the same length as my natural hair, completely defeating the purpose of $1000 extensions. I asked to replace the few that fell out ; she said that it was normal to lose a few but couldn't replace them because she had none on hand. She confirmed i was caring for them properly. Essentially I drove 4 hours for a 10 minute appointment and left with a lot less hair. Upon following up with the owner she said she couldn't do anything and I should just take them out since they were "almost ready to be removed anyway". (It was a few weeks in and these are meant to last 3months+) A few weeks later after 15-20 fell out and ripped more of my hair, I reached out again to Lisa and essentially asked if they could just take them out. I got no response. I at least expected they would take them out for me but they still charge $220 for removal. I went elsewhere to get them removed and the stylist was appalled. She explained the bonds were way too large/heavy for my thin hair ,too close together, and RPZL should have fixed it immediately after the first fell out. It took hours to get them removed since they had started to mat. I left that appointment with about half of my natural hair and really devastated. I obviously did not count on losing my hair in this process and now have bald patches and broken hair all over my head. It will take years to grow back. No one gets extensions because they have hair to lose. For now I'm using luxy clip ins and super happy with the texture. This is not a business I would revisit or recommend to anyone. I'm sure they treat their high profile clients better, but normal clients its horrendous. The owner clearly goes AWOL whenever people raise concerns. It's a very unprofessional response when people are paying thousands of dollars for a service. read more

DO NOT COME HERE!! I had a terrible experience at this sham of a business. I booked an updo for an event. I corresponded multiple times via text (iMessage specifically) with Lisa Richards from the salon about my appointment, the location, etc. When I went in for the service, there were some stylists working but no management or front desk. My "stylist" washed and dried my hair and then I showed her a photo of what I wanted. It's attached. It's a romantic, loose bun. She got to work. Immediately, I was concerned. I could tell from looking straight on at the mirror that whatever she was doing was a hot mess and not at all what I wanted. It was lopsided and messy from the front. I kept asking her to let me see what she was doing in the back as I had a sense we needed to regroup and start over, but she insisted I just let her keep going. Multiple times I pointed to random bulges on the side of my head and asked her what it was and she just kept adding more and more pins. You can see from the pictures that at no point did she even create a bun shape. Hanging down on one side of my head there is something circular sort of resembling a bun... but why is it on the side? What shape is the hairdo I got? It's like a messy beehive? It is so terrible. I knew how bad it was while it was happening and when it was done, but the stylist had made it clear that she didn't have time to fix it and there was no management, front desk or other staff there for me to discuss with. I just had to walk out dissatisfied. When I got back to the hotel and met up with family and friends, everyone broke out laughing at how bad it was. I immediately had to take it out and was forced to wear my hair in a ponytail for my event as I didn't have time to do anything else. Within an hour of the end of my appointment, I texted Lisa Richards in the text thread and said I was completely dissatisfied with my service and requested a refund. I sent a whole bunch of photos of my hair. I have texted and called multiple times and have been ignored - the business won't communicate with me. How gross and unprofessional. I would caution anyone to stay away! read more

This place was a strong 5 stars until they moved to their new location - now within a different hair salon. It's still great - but I just preferred the original location. I also liked the products at the old spot better, but whatevs. I'm still a huge fan and will continue to go back for blow outs often. Dori & Stephanie = the best. I have a LOT of long, thick hair, and both of them can give me an epic blow out in 30 mins or less. Great things they do that all blow out spots should copy: - Appts available for 7am = genius. Nothing feels better than a blow out before work. - All stylists accept tip over Venmo - Online booking = easy - They often do bundled packages on Gilt which I'm a huge fan of Dori did my hair for my wedding and I've never looked better. Don't take my word for it - peep these perfect locks in the photos below! read more

RPZL - Hair Extensions Near Me - New York, New York

This is for their online shop. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!! They tell you they "match your hair and 100%" guaranteed, not sure what they mean by that, because if they match your hair wrong, which they did for mine, you will need to pay for your own shipping. So, if they match your hair wrong again? Well, that's when they ignored my messages. What a scam!! read more

Update to my below, now about 2 years later, and I still L-O-V-E RPZL, and I have to say, Mercedes is largely the reason for my accolades. I get consistently fantastic blowouts from her and I visit based on her schedule. She's simply the best...! Old review: I pooped into RPZL (with an appointment, of course) yesterday, and got a fantastic blowout by Jeannea (I hope I spelled her name correctly.) The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars was because they charge a 3.5% surcharge for using a credit card- kinda strange considering that that's how 90% of your clients are going to pay... Charlie up front at check-in was friendly and accommodating, and I'm already planning on going back next week. read more

1 star for terrible business practices. I bought these extensions from GMA Deals for me and my friend. They did not work out for either of us. I returned them, paying for postage. No acknowledgement, no refund. I called and emailed....nothing. Lost 50 dollars! Beware of this company! :( read more

Stephanie is amazing! So quick, personable and professional. Under 30 mins for wash and excellent blow out, that didn't feel rushed. Exactly what I need before the office. read more

The best! Talented staff , amazing extensions. Speedy and efficient. Love the location.

Great service and beautiful blowout from Destiny! I was early and attended to right away. I did a random google search and found Rpzl. I am so glad that I did! I will definitely be back again. read more

I've been going to RPZL for about 3 years, and couldn't be happier about how my hair looks and how well the extensions hold up. They've given me amazing volume, length, (my real hair is also finally growing!) and hold style longer than my natural hair ever would, and most importantly, RPZL does it at much more affordable price than other NYC stylists. Janeaa is my go-to stylist who is the best and consistently has amazing placement, is incredibly efficient, and she styles them so natural to my real hair. The price tag (especially if they have a promotion going on at the time) is a lot less than what I was paying before, and they last longer. I first got tape-in extensions before RPZL because my hair was pretty damaged, stopped growing, and I missed my long hair. Unfortunately the price tag was about $1,200+/set and retape was at least $800, so it became too expensive to maintain. I saw RPZL on a taxi TV in 2015, and decided to check it out since it seemed more affordable and the reviews were pretty good. I've been sold ever since! The hair quality is great, which my other hair stylists confirmed, and if you take good care of them they can last well past 8 weeks. I also brought my sister here to get clip ins for her wedding and she loved them and still uses them for special occasions. read more

Shanys was amazing. I originally came in for a wash, blowout and clippings with my hair down. I decided to ask for an updo. I thought it was more appropriate for the outfit I was wearing for an event that evening. Shanys was able to comply with my request. I wanted a messy bun that was prominent and glamorous. She executed the task perfectly. It looked exactly like I wanted it to. She is very talented. Thanks to her, I had a great evening! read more

Service was not provided. Hairdresser was not available at appointment time. I am waiting for reimbursement for pre-payment of service.

My advice is to not come to RPZL for extensions if you have platinum hair color. They will not be able to match your color and send you out the door with the wrong color, telling you to tone the extensions yourself. I have heard about this place, so I went to book an appointment to see that they had a Groupon for extensions and a blowout. I decided why not, I was in the market for extensions anyways and thought it would be great to actually get a professional color match me rather than take a guess on the internet. When I called the front desk to make an appointment to ensure they knew I had the Groupon (as I know sometimes places get weird about those) he told me that I would not need a consultation first as they had a good stock of shades in the back. When I came in for my appointment, my stylist was very nice. She brought out two shades a brassy blonde and an ashy blonde.... I am definitely an ashy blonde. When she went to the back and got the ashy blonde extensions package, I could tell she was even second guessing because she asked the stylist next to us if this was the right packaging because the shades looked different. Anyways, she put the extensions in and said they were a bit darker but blended well and I could lighten them up with some purple shampoo. I could see there was a difference and should have spoke up, but I didn't and just said okay thank you and since I already pre paid on the Groupon - I just left a tip. (I should have spoken up right then and there) I was completely upset when I got home and couldn't believe I just paid $200 for extensions that when I got outside in the light looked like a completely different shade. Due to this I called where the receptionist told me that I had to come back in, in order for them to be able to give me the correct color. I explained my apartment was in Astoria and it wasn't convenient and that I had to call back with when I could come. When I called back the male receptionist answered, I explained I just called and what was going on and I wanted to come back in today and his response was "Oh okay....." to then putting me on hold for 5 minutes. The receptionist who I spoke to moments before got back on the phone and I told her I would be back in an hour and she said great see you soon. When I got back in, the stylist who helped me, brought me to the back area and told me that there was no other shades they would be able to swap out my extensions for. She understood it was brassy and gave me recommendations on toners I could use to brighten the extensions. So after being told on the phone they would fix it and having me take another 40 minute subway ride back, I arrived to just be told there was nothing they could do and leaving with the same extensions I was just upset with. The stylist was very nice, but overall I wish I never bought that Groupon causing me to pre-pay and wish I would have had a consultation to tell me they had no shade for me. Overall, I would not go back here. Now it's time to watch YouTube videos on how to dye extensions............. read more

Stephanie gives a damn good blowout and in under 30 minutes which is even better! My hair tends to be impossible to curl, but she managed to get it to stay for the entire day, making it flawless for my photo shoot a few hours later. Thanks again for the speedy service Stephanie!

I came here for a regular blowout on a Friday after work and it was ahhh-mazing! I was searching for an alternative to the Dry Bar since the last few times I've been there I haven't been pleased (on many levels - product, customer service). This place was close to where I lived and seemed really cool so I gave it a shot. I loved! The space is gorgeous - sleek and open. Everything was great all around - reception, consultation, and the final result! I wanted looser casual/beachy curls and I felt like my stylist really listened to me. I wish I could remember her name because she was fantastic! I was offered a complimentary drink and was in and out quickly, but not rushed in any way. Best part......second day hair was v strong..and third day too! This blowout really lasted and I barely had to do anything to it. I will definitely return here over any place in NYC! read more

We just walked 10 blocks to make our appointment only to be greeted like we were uninvited step cousins. The stylist acted like she had no clue someone had an appt and said we could wait an hour or so for her to "get to us." We had an APPOINTMENT. Don't make them if you can't keep them. You'd charge me if I hadn't shown up but who compensates me for a ruined evening in the city. We will never do business with you again. read more

I have to say I was in a bad place a few days ago I received a horrible haircut right before a wedding from a different stylist at another salon and I found this salon and contacted Lisa immediately.
