Horrible service and ambience.

by nikkie05 at Citysearch

My whole Rikrak experience started off bad. I made an appointment at the location on 1428 for my hair and my nails.I just needed to get my hair blown out for an event that i had for work a few evenings ago. I accidentally went to the rikrak at the four season ...which is literally located across the street. The four seasons is amazing. i walked into rikrak and it looked like a mess. It was one of the cheapest looking salons ive ever seen.The man who attended me was just so pleasant. He was in the middle of doing a haircut..but still was so attentive . then some girl that look like a hot mess came out and told me there was no appointments for me in there system...so after some waiting i realized i was at the wrong place..well if it wasnt for the lady doing the nails.I went over to the real rikrak and ohhh man what a JUNGLE. theres a thousand things going on ..i was already about ten minutes late.So my stylest started with someone new. and they just blunt out told me i had to wait.I wanted to start getting my nails done and you would imagine with like 7 manicure table i saw the Manger told me that they were all off to lunch. It was 3 in the afternoon. She was so rudeeeeee and disturbing to look at. Make a long story short my hair that started with a blow dry ended up with a cut ...a bad cut. All they kept on saying was how horrible i looked that i needed everything done. i felt so offended.The owner with the long hair he was trying to reassure me but it seemed he was hitting on me. I had a $10 sandwhich there that i promise was worth like $3. Never again.My nails came out great but not worth it at all.

great facial by sandy

by mesq at Citysearch

first of all as a first customer, I did a pendicure and manicure and they were good. Then, I did my hair and makeup with Cari. She didn't do a good job on either one. with the makeup she made me look like a clown by doing a contour or something like that with my make up face. Then the same person Cari did my hair. At first the shampoo and treatment was nice, but then styling my hair well let's just say that all she did was curl it with her finger and that was the style, Wow something that I could have done at home and then she cut it in some strange layers when i didn't ask her too and she didn't even told me what she was going to do. I really hated that!!! The last visit was Sandy, she did a great job on my face. I was happy for once. I would go back there again because of Sandy and that's it. The staff was nice to me. I didn't have to wait and there was no rudness from any of the staff.

• Pros: Sandy does great facials
• Cons: Hair stylist NOT GOOD!!

best highlights in miami

by lj33146 at Citysearch

When I first moved to miami I was really nervous about anyone touching my color treated hair. I read about Rik Rak in a magazine, the reviews were great so I made an appointment. This was two years ago and I have been going back to Rik Rak exclusively ever since. Theresa does my highlights and she is amazing!!!! They also have a really great selection of accessories, handbags, shoes and clothes.

• Pros: great boutique, knowledge staff, accomidating

worst waxing job ever

by susyfein at Citysearch

The woman that did my bikini and eyebrows was the most unprofessional EVER!!! she talked non stop about her last client, not realizing i can speak spanish she complained how about having too many clients that day and her back was killing her. the wax was too hot and her room was less than clean and smelled of old burnt wax. i wouldn't send my worst enemy to this place. I was told to go for eyebrows by someone that read about her Leticia , now she is so overbooked and $40 for eyebrows come on this place is a mess from desk to door.

NEVER AGAIN

• Pros: DOWNTOWN LOCATION
• Cons: RIP OFF AND FILTHY

Terrible hair dressers, not talented, a total waste of money.

by Giulia21 at Citysearch

I Read all those good reviews specially from those who compare this place with Europe!!!!!!!

Incredible, how can someone said is better or equal to Paris, New York?

I think they are just helping them that's IT!!!!! totally!!!!!! just go and look at the staff? what is the first impression?look at the clients results?

terrible.

They are late, they make you pay for drinks, after all the money they are charging you????

Go to Oribe, that is a good Salon in Miami, and qualify stylists for example.

I will never waste my money again in That Place, not even for an emergency, even though is right infront of my office.

• Cons: Too expensive for the service they provide, bad custumer service, staff not qualified.

Outstanding Hair Salon and Staff

by JolieBalido at Citysearch

I have been a loyal customer of Rik Rak Salon, Spa and Boutique for many years and strongly encourage others to visit the salon. I have very high stadards regarding quality service, and I wouldn't recommend Rik Rak unless I was absolutely pleased. Rik Rak is unique because it provides a full spectrum of salon services while also offering beautiful clothing and accessory items. The owners, Ric and Raquel, truly care about their customers and are very dedicated to their work. One or both of them are always there. Betty, the manager, has always been my hairstylist. She does an outstanding job with my color, and I get many compliments. I have referred many friends and acquaintances to her, and they have also become loyal customers. Betty always makes herself available and is impeccably punctual. She is a true professional, and I am very grateful for all her work over the years. I also enjoy the great boutique, which offers unique jewelry, dresses, casual attire, shoes, and even athletic wear. Whenever I wear something from Rik Rak, I get many compliments. Overall, this is a top-quality operation and I strongly recommend it.

• Pros: Quality, Service, Ambience, Caring Staff
• Cons: None

Best Salon in Miami

by AlejandraM007 at Citysearch

RikRak Salon is simply the best. Here I have found not only the sexiest hair possible, thanks to my beautiful stylist Betty, but amazing color and above all a great welcoming environment. Rick and Raquel are so thoughtful and make all customers feel like queens or kings for the day. You can always find something new: from the best salads in the world to the hottest new trends in fashion. As a news anchor woman in MIami I am very grateful for the care and effort of Betty and her assistant Ilianis in trying to make me look beautiful always in front and behind tv cameras. As I have to my friends and collegues, recommend Rik Rak to anyone looking for the best color, sexiest hair, and the most beautiful salon of all South Florida. Can't miss it.......

just don't go

by nocnoc at Citysearch

I received a gift certificate and was very excited. The first service was a pedicure, which was $45. At my usual salon it is $25. There is no comparison and absolutely no reason they should charge so much. I was taken to a back corner near a sink and got an extremely basic pedicure in an uncomfortable chair. My regular pedicure includes a scrub, foot and leg rub and you are seated in a massage chair.

I then had a massage. You are taken through the office building to another area, which is not at all attractive. The room was freezing and I had to request extra towels to cover myself and try to keep warm. When the massage therapist started, it literally felt as if they had let anyone into the room and he was guessing what a massage is supposed to be like. He seemed extremely nervous and uncomfortable. His hands were uncomfortably cold. At one point he started slapping me (I am not exagerating) to the point that it was painful on my back. He was clumsy and poked me or bumped into areas he was not working on several times. I have had massages for the past 15 years and have never had such a strange experience. He had no idea what he was doing when he placed his hands all over my face. At the end, he did not know how to tell me he was done. So when I realized he was putting things away and putting his watch back on, I opened my eyes to just find him hovering over me and staring. No whisper to tell me he would be exiting or gentle touch to let me know.

I would not recommend this salon to anyone and actually cancelled an appointment for a friend. Do not waste your money. Did I mention it looks like a flea market with shoe boxes all over the place?

• Cons: Overpriced and just not good.

Great place

by shaggyjackson at Citysearch

Excellent results every time. I would recommend that anyone who wishes to have a great and experience should stop by Rik Rak. I am not sure why some of the other reviews are so negative, and I have to believe that these are being done by competitors.

• Pros: Service
• Cons: Not sure
