Rosana’s Beauty Salon

I had come in a few times to get my hair blown out by Osias, but I’d never gotten a haircut or any other treatment. First, let me say that Osias gives an incredible blowout. I have very curly, thick hair, and it’s hard to find someone who really does a great job not blowing it out and leaving it with nice volume and shape. That being said, I saw a Unilocal deal for services here, and since I needed a haircut and was considering the Brazilian Keratin, I bought it and booked an appointment with Osias. I’ll just say that this is not the place to come to if you’re in a rush. Each time I’ve come, I’ve had to wait a bit or he’s had to stop my blowout to attend to someone else’s hair for a bit, etc. I would mind were it not for the fact that Osias very obviously knows hair. I told him that I didn’t necessarily want the keratin treatment, but that I had the blowout done at a salon in Coral Gables and paid a very pretty penny for it, only for it to not really stick or make my hair look any healthier, so he recommended I do the Brazilian shock treatment (which, IMO, may or may not be similar to the Brazilian botox?). I agreed to that and let him work his magic. He did not rush through it and paid extra special attention to the parts of my hair which are the curliest. He also really took his time with my haircut; cutting some at the beginning, then finishing it off dry. It’s a nice looking cut (he went a little shorter than I wanted, but my hair kinda needed it) and, more importantly, the hair treatment turned out amazing. It’s been about five weeks, and it still looks great. I can actually blow my hair out on my own almost effortlessly (I’ve never been able to say that before); I mean, really, tops 20 minutes, and I don’t have to iron it at all for it to look GREAT — straight, yet with great volume. Also, there’s nothing worse than having to sit through a loooooooong hair appointment with an unoleasant stylist. You won’t have that problem here; both Osias and his sister Rosana are very pleasant and friendly. I highly recommend this salon to my fellow curly-​haired ladies.

So friendly and professional!
My hair came out great and the products I purchased are amazing!

Rosana is great. She was very specific and very careful with myhair. She spent almost 4 hours working on it– Brazilian blowout. highlights, cauterization. She did a fantastic job and i will definitely go back.

I’m not going to another salon ever again, and if I move away, I’ll insist on coming back to Astoria to get my hair done. Obrigada!!!

Went about 2 weeks ago but I wanted to wait a little to see how this BKT held out. Well, it came out AMAZING!!! Couldn’t have asked for anything more. The attention and the professionalism was superb. Rosanna and her brother know what they do and pay attention to every detail. I am so happy I found them! They are my new salon! Thank you, Rosana!

I love Rosana! I have not let anyone else cut my hair the past 4 years. She always listens to what I ask for and never cuts more than I want— which is very important to me because my hair is curly but I have keratin.

I have tried MANY MANY hairstylists and have never been satisfied 100% with anyone. I can happily say I walked out Rosana’s beauty salon with a huge smile to my face. Rosana is the BEST and I will continue to go to her. I’m beyond happy with my blonde/​caramel highlights. Yay!

(Using my husband’s Unilocal account)
I have to give 5 stars!!!
Not just for the amazing transformation that Rosana made on my hair (from a long and boring to a fun and short haircut !) but also for the best Brazilian Wax in NY.
I love how Rosana takes time to understand what do you want and what works best on your hair. She is going to be very honest!
Im already client from Osiane for about 1 year now doing Brazilian Wax and I just love her job! She is so sweet and will give you all attention that you need! The weird moment of Deep Brazilian wax that we all are shy? Disappears with her! It goes super fast without pain! :)
I live 1 hour from the salon, but its worth it!!!

I don’t know why it took me so long to write a review about Rosana and her hair salon.
I’ve been coming to Rosana’s for three years now and couldnt be happier with all the services I’ve received.
First, I come to Rosana’s twice a year to get my Brazilian keratin done. This is where you will get the real deal, Rosana is brazilian and her brother, Osias travels back ans forth between Brazil and New York to bring the latest Brazilian hair innovations. And we all know that Brazilian ladies are way advanced when it comes to silky smooth hair! I also always get a haircut — my main stylists for the past three years have been Rosana herself or her brother Osias, equally as talented. I never left the salon unhappy — even when I went for it and cut bangs for the first time of my life. Being a super duper curly haired chick, I never thought this day would come but with the help of the Brazilian keratin treatment, it happened!
In between keratin treatments, Rosana advises to come back either for roots touch up or for a treatment. I tend not to retouch my roots in order to limit the chemicals to twice a year but gladly come back every six to eight weeks for a treatment and a trim.
This is a family run salon, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Rosana recently even opened her salon on a Sunday for another client and I who were both getting time consuming services! Hats off for customer service!
All in all, great service, great people oh and did I mention AMAZING prices? Forget the over priced Manhattan fake keratin treatment when you can get the original keratin from Brazil for half the price! Make sure to sign up for her newsletter as she often send special offers to her regulars!
Now, go!

Rosana is the most perfectionist-​professional hair dresser I have ever had. I trust her 100%. Her choices are always good for me. She does what I ask not she feels like.
I highly recommend Rosana’s salon to any customer.

I am not Brazilian but my hair is damage and Rosana Beauty Salon know exactly what they are doing. Keratin Treatment is unreal

Hands-​down the best salon in New York. I first came here for a Brazilian straightening treatment and I cannot recommend this salon enough if you are looking for the same type of treatment. I saw Rosana and she was the best hairdresser I ever had (mind you this is saying a lot being that I went to some of the most popular and expensive hair salons New York city has to offer). Rosana does an amazing job of discussing the process with you and detailing every small concern or issue that you might have with your hair. In actually doing the process she took her time and I was not rushed at all. They utilize the real Brazilian chemicals which require a face mask and proper ventilation throughout the salon. After performing the process, you return to the salon, 3 to 5 days later, depending on the type of Brazilian that you received. At that point she will wash and blow dry your hair for you. My spiral curly hair literally blew dry completely straight without even the use of a brush. I returned to the salon since my straightening treatment several times in order to have different conditioning and revitalizing treatments done. Each one is better than the next and this salon certainly offers the best conditioning treatment I’ve ever received. My hair has never looked healthier and I’ve never been to a salon that was so welcoming and the employees make you feel so comfortable. I rarely ever write reviews but I just had to let all you girls know what an amazing hair salon this is. Trust me go see Rosana and you can thank me later :)

Best wax ever! Go see Osiani, she’s a sweet heart and knows what she’s doing! She’s the only one I’ll go to for my Brazilian and i never get skin irritation after. She’s also competitively priced. Thanks Osiani!

I’ve been coming here for years… quite simply because Rosana and her team are amazing! I first came to the salon as a walk-​in new to the neighborhood and that was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
While convenience brought me in there, her stellar work keeps me coming back… from Manhattan now! Brazillians are known for their talent with hair and anything beauty related and Rosana & team do not disappoint! She really listens to you and makes sure to give you what you asked for. I get so many compliments after she does my hair, I’ve gotten quite used to it :)
The salon’s team is made up of great people and the time you spend in the salon getting beautified is always a good time and feels like you’re with family. CLEARLY, I’m a fan and of Rosanna’s Beauty Salon!

I hate to write a bad review because everyone there was so nice, but my hair is a disaster. I came in with several pictures of what I wanted – a long (shoulder-​length or a few inches longer) bob with a layered or angled front. I told her that my hair was thick and wavy, so short haircuts (anything above shoulder-​length) just don’t work on me.
And what does she do? Cuts my hair super short in back in some kind of weird layered thing that is impossible for me to blow-​dry in a normal way. When she was finished she showed me the back and noted a part of the back of my hair that refused to curl under the way she’d cut it, so she said that if I had any trouble to come back and she’d give me keratin… but I DON’T WANT keratin! I’ve never needed it! And as a high-​school teacher, frankly I can’t afford it. I wanted a cut that is manageable and fits with my lifestyle, and this is the complete opposite.
My hair looks all right from the front, but it is absolutely not what I wanted nor what I asked for (and showed her pictures of!!). I want to go somewhere else to get it fixed, but it’s so short in back I think I’m just going to have to wait it out, which sucks. I hate, hate, hate not being listened to and given an awful cut that I’m going to have to live with for months and feel ugly. I’m never coming back. So disappointed in you, fellow Unilocalers who led me here.

I have been to a few places and this is the bEST so far. Rosana is so creative and truly listens to you and even looks at your curly hair and tells you she loves it, which I think is extremely sweet. I left with silky, shiny hair that is easy to style. I will definitely go back.

Being Brazilian myself and after 6 years searching for a salon in NY that provides a real Brazilian Keratin Treatment, I believe I can say I finally found one! Phew! Yes, it’s Rosana’s Beauty Salon!
Over the years, when I didn’t get the chance to fly to Brazil (mostly for work) to do the real thing, I’ve tried many salons in NYC which provided treatments that did not seem right as the ones I got in Brazil — i.e. they should last for 3 months, (they never did) and not disintegrate after 2 weeks to a month so ones get curly hair again (they often did).
I’ve done this treatment at Rosana’s about 20 days ago and so far my hair still looks great! I think they use the real Keratin imported from Brazil, as opposed to salons in NYC. I should have known better — if you need a treatment from Brazil, go to Astoria and to a Brazilian salon to do it! Quite obvious but Queens is really far from me… and not convenient to go all the way there. But so far, it seems to be the best treatment I got in the city so it was totally worth it! Oh, and I get to do some delicious Brazilian grocery shopping on my way back at Rio Market ;) I hope it last 3 months as in Brazil. If it does, I will be hooked and coming again!
Besides that, Rosana seems to be a good-​hearted person who truly cares about her business and clients which obviously makes a difference. The stylist who did my treatment was a sweet girl from Chile who also seemed to care.
The best thing is the convenience: it takes me 10 minutes to blow dry my hair — as opposed to 40 minutes before — and it looks fantastic! Only bad side — besides the inconvenient location, I wish they had promotions because it’s kind of expensive…
All in all, a great experience — recommended by a Brazilian!

Rosana is amazing! She listen’s to what you want and makes your vision come true! She is caring and puts the customer’s needs first. I have long hair and I’m traumatized whenever I go for a TRIM because I end up with half my hair being chopped off! However, my ends were horrible and needed a serious trim. Rosana was GREAT she cut all my dead ends but still maintained my hair’s length… I absolutely love it! I’ve has a great experience here, the people are lovely and they really know what they’re doing. I definitely recommend this place you will not regret it!

Brazilian Beauty has become popular & envious over the past 2 years.
Brazilian Hair Keratin was difficult to find in «American» salons but now almost every single company in the USA is imitating the «Brazilian Keratin Treatment».
I ask you this: Why would you go to a place where people RECENTLY ‘learned’ how to do Brazilian Keratin when you can simply go to an experienced actual BRAZILIAN with LIFETIME experience & knowledge??? WHY?! No offense your stylist must be awesome but COME ON!!!
Getting Brazilian Keratin Treatment here is like getting a diamond ring.
Getting Brazilian Keratin Treatment ELSEWHERE is like getting a glass ring.
This Salon uses Exclusive, Famous & Well Respected products straight from Brazil, Italy & other parts of the world.
Rosana herself is the most professional, down to earth & friendly hair stylist & person you could possibly meet.
I came in here to fix a hair color gone wrong. In 2 visits she made my hair look similar to what I wanted, I say similar because it is even more wonderful & sexier than I had imagined!!!
Rosana will give you the sexiest hair you could ever have!

I Love the service at the salon, people are great, excellent professional .
