First time client to Borja Color Studio today....my google search on NYC's best hair color and highlights led me to her and I am so thrilled.
Borja transformed my long brassy-orange-brown-highlighted hair into the perfect latte brown hair with golden honey highlights...gorgeous!
Borja is a bonafide expert, using a technique I have never seen before, she paints your hair with the most natural ...
Read More On Citysearch NYC4me 2/13/2010 - Best hair color in cityI have been going to Borja Color Studio for 6+ years and it is in my opinion the best colorist in the city. I have gone to the big and fancy salons but they do not compare. Both Borja and Danka are color pros and they provide an intimacy and understanding this is so refreshing. If you want natural and beautiful looking hair than look no further.

Today they must have heard something in my voice because, warm and friendly as always, I heard: do you want to come tonight or tomorrow?
Borja Color Studio is friendly, professional, and most important consistent. I love that my hair alwa...
Read More On Citysearch jdrury 5/1/2009 - Great Experience at Borja Color StudioBorja Color Studio exceeded all of my expectations for a New York hair color salon!! I love my blond hair; I look as I still live on the beach on West Coast.
I would recommend anyone who is looking for a great color, friendly stylist, and the best location to go and check out Borja Color Studio.
Read More On Citysearch AP1940 3/30/2009 - Fantastic Color, Great AtmosphereTruly personal service - Borja listened to what I wanted, including asking me a lot of questions. She made suggestions, and then kept checking in with me. My ideas were taken seriously and I got the color I was expecting. The salon is comfortable and the staff is very caring. I've been to other Midtown salons, but Borja Color Studio is the best.
Read More On Citysearch Marlene1 3/29/2009 - Best Coloring StudioIt is nice to be able to go to a hair salon where you can find service, quality and atmosphere at the same time. From the moment that you enter Borja Color Studio you feel pampered. The staff is very friendly and professional. Borja is not only a wonderful colorist but a superb busineswoman who knows how to create a professional salon and quality of work with a friendly, relaxing and trendy ambia...

I was so excited to go to Borjo from the rating it got from city search.
I went during the week. The salon was empty and I still had to wait over 30 minutes to have my hair done. No apology either.
This was the worst highlights I have ever had done.
I walked out looking like my roots hadn't been touched. After the blowdry, I asked if i could get the roots touched up. She got very upset with...
Read More On Citysearch lee24 3/16/2009 - A true highlight!After a friends recommendation I found myself in this cozy, comfortable coloring salon in the middle of the city's hustle and bustle. I walked in and was intastly greeted and felt very comfortable almost a feeling you get when you get back home after a long time away.
When I met Borja, who is the owner of the salon, I felt instant trust and I didn't get disappointed.
My highlights were a true...
Read More On Citysearch gnyce 2/20/2009 - Expensive, rushed job!I recently came here and got highlights from Borja herself from all the great reviews I read. At the moment I walked in, Borja shook my hand and looked at me slowly from head to toe in a condescending way, which I felt was so rude and should've walked out right after that. I told her I wanted noticeable highlights, but she probably only did about 10-12 streaks of highlights in my hair, which actu...
Read More On Citysearch neena79 2/10/2009 - brunette turned blondI've been coming to Borja for 3 years. I love what she does. My hair is dark brown but turns out with wonderful golden highlights. She always works with me and adapts to any changes I want to make. I really like that she paints on the color rather than uses foil - as a result she can get a lot closer to the hairline. Aside from her talent, I like the ambience of the salon. It's not at all a...
Read More On Citysearch mlogo 2/9/2009 - Best Hair Color in ManhattanBorja and Danka at Borja Color Studio are two of the most gifted colorists I've had the pleasure of meeting. Borja does my hair now for over a year and I love it every time. She is fantastic about making sure the color works for me and she is totally honest about the best cut and color for my face shape. I get compliments about my hair wherever I go. Also, the shop is elegant, relaxing, and fun;...
Read More On Citysearch schuster51 2/4/2009 - Not impressed with the "Impressionist" of the hair set!I went to Borja for highlights and was sadly very disappointed. I had an appointment with Borja thinking I would walk out of the salon with fabulous highlights. Instead I left with brassy, blondish highlights...that might worked had I not had dark brown. I've had my hair highlighted several times in the past (at other salons) and I've always been very happy with the results. Borja used only c...
Read More On Citysearch nportant22 1/28/2009 - Great ColorI heard about the things Borja can do with colors but I was still a little skeptical since I've been to some of the "creme de la creme of NY" and have never been fully satisfied with my color. Last week I came in with a very difficult situation - I had about 4 different colors in my hair due to a mishap and thought I'd see what they think. I was hesitant to do anything but decided to go for it,...
Read More On Citysearch NYC1718 1/27/2009 - Phenomenal colorist!I have seen Borja for haircuts and color on and off for about 6 years. Moving from Manhattan was difficult but finding someone as good was IMPOSSIBLE so I'm pleased to be home again and have her in my backyard again.
What I like about Borja's salon is not only that they do a very natural top quality job, it's also that she's straightforward with you. If the color you're asking for is too drama...
Read More On Citysearch louise123 12/5/2008 - RIVKA - best highlights and moreI have used Rivka to do both my highlights and my cut for only a few years now and EVERYONE notices the difference. Her highlights are more natural and thus better for my hair which is now healthier. And, she approaches her work almost like art, she is very serious about the results and always wants to make sure that her clients are happy with the results. Additionally, one never feels that she i...

I took her up on it and decided to go in for a single process. THe color was wonderful. I was very pleased. Then I asked if I can get a haircut. Borja came by and told me I needed some layers around my face and since I have a bob haircut, I was skeptical but I trusted her. I told her that I style my hair straigh...

Rivka does the best Holly Golightly steaks in town. They jump out yet look natural at the same time. My hair shines like a mirror when she finishes the blowdry. For the full walking on air experience let her do your cut too.
She'll leave your h...
Read More On Citysearch hannahbella 10/30/2008 - Consistent, careful, best cuts and great colorRivka and Anthony, now at Borja, offer great haircolor and the best cut in town. They're really artists--Rivka is known for her careful application of color and Anthony for his precise use of the scissor. (Anthony trained with the legendary Vidal Sasson himself though you'd never know it as Anthony is very modest about such things.) I've been seeing them for years and always get tons of compli...
Read More On Citysearch JKhu 10/29/2008 - Borja Color Studio is the best!Borja and Danka are the best! Rarely have I been able to look in the mirror after I leave the salon and feel so good about my hair. You are both artists and a geniuses. Thank you so much!
For those of you who are loking for best highlighting without a foil - I strongly recommend Borja Color Studio!
One very happy client.
Read More On Citysearch wioletta6 10/20/2008 - Best Hair color and cutI have been coming to Borja for a few years now and I will say my color is amazing it looks so natural to my regular color. And as far as a haircut for years I could never find someone to cut my hair the way I liked it. Borja showed me there are people out there that can cut your hair the way you want. Borja and Danka and her whole staff are amazing. Finally a place that you will want to keep ...

I' ve been blessed to find a salon where the staff really care about how you look when you leave. I've been going to Borja's for many years and have never been disappointed, nor have I ever seen a client leaving with anything but a great look. At times I've marveled at how naturally perfect these hair colors looked. Color is not all that they do and I've benef...

I have tried other places in New York and by tfar, this is the best!
THanks!
Read More On Citysearch grata 8/8/2008 - Best Color in the CityI have been going to Borja's Color Studio for a few years and I love how they color and cut my hair. Borja is definitely my colorist of choice - she is extremely professional and attentive. She really works hard to give you exactly what you want, and always makes sure it looks great.
Highly recommended!
Read More On Citysearch zfrenchy 7/30/2008 - Best colorist in NYC!Borja is the best colorist in NYC and maybe the nation, hands down (at least in my opinion)! The way she paints the highlights on as oppose to using foil allows for more precise locations of where the HL are placed and allows it to get closer to the root, which means more time in between visits. Aside from her true, natural talents as a colorist, the atmosphere in the salon is always amazing! Fro...
Read More On Citysearch allegar2 7/30/2008 - In 62 years, I have never found anyone better!Borja is the best! My daughter, mother and I have been using Borja for the last eleven years. We have NEVER been disappointed after an appointment. We started going to her before my daughter's wedding in 1997 and would highly recommend her studio to anyone without hesitation.

Recently I went to Borja Color and had the Brazilian Straightening done... WOW. If anyone out there has frizzy or summer humidity curls, this is a absolute must!

Owner and hair colorist Borja, and I, decided to go for medium blond with highlights. She expertly used a palette to apply the colors and after the 2 hour process my hair...

She did exactly what I wanted and did recommend a color that would look best on me. Her and her staff were very kind and courteous which made you feel right at home. I also got highlights which were great.

While in the salon, I am pampered by her and her staff. The most relaxing is the shampoo and head massage to relieve any stresses that you walk in with. Voila they're gone. Walking out you feel li...

As president of a speech and media consulting firm, I send many of my clients straight to Borja. Borja understands that it's not about a fad, it's about who you are. She actually listens, understands your lifestyle, what you do, and then cuts the most attractive, effortless, beautiful style that will su...

She is very patient and really takes the time to perfect the color, painting each highlight by hand and keeping a cl...

It is a combination of a great "spa experience", chatting with good girlfriends and having an ultimate make-over! Borja, Danka, Robin and BG are true artists in their own right. The service is impeccable without being too formal or pretentious. I used to live in Italy, but would only have my hair cut and colored on my return trips to NYC. This place is a true tre...
Read More On Citysearch stephanievw 3/10/2007 - Best place for Asian hair highlights. Really.Yes, it's true. I started going to Borja 5+ years ago and started my black hair off with a "sun-kissed" look. Throughout the years, I've played around with varying degrees of highlights and lowlights and am thrilled every time I leave her salon. You will be addicted to how good you look and you will be asked by strangers and friends, "Excuse me, where do get your highlights done?" There is a ...

Unfortunately for me I live out of town and the timing was never right for me to go. One day I made the trip to NYC and boy was I glad I did!

The visit was worth every penny and I never looked better. Cynthia M.
Read More On Citysearch renata52 4/20/2006 - Yuck! $300 gets you orange hair.My highlights were rushed because the colorist had to go out to dinner. Now the top half of my head is bright orange and the bottom is its ususal dark brown. This is easily the worst dye job I have ever had. The staff is friendly enough but the work is sloppy and expensive. Go elsewhere.

Read More On Citysearch nutymeg 11/19/2005 - Borja Color StudioIt isn't often you find such a place in New York devoid of the usual snobishness that accompanies a classy establishment. However, from the moment you enter Borja's Studio you are warmly greeted by everyone from the receptionist all the way through to Borja herself. I personally went in for corrective coloring due to previous salon disasters and found Borja because she employs a innovative techn...
Read More On Citysearch chearst212 11/19/2005 - Don't Go!Just terrible. Expensive - horrible color. I went in asking for blonde (it was blonde already and I am dark blonde anyway...) and I came out with orangeish/red, lab bunny experiment hair. It was as expensive as any of the good places in the city and miserable service. I went back, asking for a redo, and was told this was "the look". Never again. I had to pay $300 in corrective color to fix ...

Read More On Citysearch cmurda04 2/22/2005 - Excellent Service ConsistentlyI have been going here for two years. I have changed the shade of my hair a couple of times and always with great results. The service is consistently excellent here. The atmosphere is unpretentious, relaxed yet sophisticated (plenty of great magazines and wine to drink while you peruse them). Danka, Borja's sister, colors my hair and Borja cuts it. I am a very satisfied customer!
Read More On Citysearch mfalla 1/10/2005 - The best of New YorkI was walking along 57th St. during one of my frequent trips to New York. Window shopping on 57th St. is always one of my treats, especially since I'm continually on the lookout for new art galleries. I happened to notice in second floor window a sign for Borja Color Studio and decided it was time to fulfill a long time wish to have my hair "tuned" by a top New York hair colorist.

The outstanding service, hospitality and (most of all) results that I received will certainly bring me back to Borja Color Studio in the near future for my next hair coloring. Being overly concerned with my appearance on stage, it is mandatory for the color of my hair to be "just right" for the lights. One word for anyone inter...
