Maria Bonita Salon & Spa

Oliver and his team were absolutely fantastic! They arrived early and truly started our wedding day on the right foot. From the moment they walked in, they brought such great energy and immediately put us, and our families, at ease. And their work was beautiful. We have a lot of curly-haired women in our group, and every single hairstyle looked flawless. The makeup was equally stunning: very natural and perfectly tailored to each person, never overdone. On top of all of that, they worked even faster than planned, which meant we were comfortably ahead of schedule. They are true professionals in every sense, and we are so happy we were able to work with Oliver and his team on our wedding day. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to have Oliver style them!

I can’t recommend Rik at Maria Bonita enough! He gave me the best haircut I’ve had in years—my hair feels so lightweight and fresh. Rik is incredibly precise and meticulous, making sure every detail is perfect. You can really tell he cares about his craft. And the Brazilian blow dry? Absolute perfection. My hair has never looked or felt better. Rik is worth every penny—I’m so glad I found him!

I found my new favorite salon - Had an amazing experience with Oliver Francisco and his assistant. They are super friendly, professional, talented. They understood exactly what I wanted and I left happier than I expected I would be!

I’ve been going for the past two years, and Rik has taken amazing care of my hair from highlights to cuts. When I decided to put my tape in extensions back in, he nailed it. He’s an expert in the technique and matched the color of my hair perfectly something I hadn’t found anywhere else in NYC. He’s precise, skilled, and truly knows what he’s doing. Fabi is always there assisting and she’s incredible too.

I went to Maria Bonita today to get my hair ready for summer, and once again, Ricardo Sarmiento did an incredible job! I have very fine hair, and I usually get balayage and Brazilian keratin. Since I started seeing Ricardo, my hair has never been healthier. It’s shiny, smooth, and the color looks so natural. I get compliments all the time on how well it suits me. While I was there, another Brazilian woman came in because her hair had been damaged by a hairdresser in Jersey City. Ricardo took care of her, too, and she left with a big smile, just like I always do. It was so nice to see someone else experience the same transformation and happiness. Ricardo really knows hair. He’s talented, professional, and genuinely cares about making you look and feel your best. If you're looking for some
