Rio Palace Salon

DePedro is amazing and super amicable! He takes his own time until he finds perfection in his work. He will make sure that his each client is comfortable. He uses high quality products for each treatment. This place is a magical salon with lots of talent. I am very picky on how my hair looks and I am delighted that I found this place. I would definitely recommend this salon if you are looking for a make-​over!

I was here in April. Needed a last minute haircut and they were able to squeeze me in without attitude. Alittle pricey but well worth it for the beautiful haircut and blowout by the wonderful Portuguese Astoria native female who’s name I can’t recall at the moment. She was excellent. They use great products, so much so I went onto Amazon and bought my own! Very nicely decorated inside. Definitely worth the cash if you live in the neighborhood and need a haircut or blowout!

I been looking for a hairstylist in Astoria for the longest time … I’m Colombian and I’m very picky about my hair … I love this place !!! Best haircut I have had in a long time … Customer service is excellent… ZPedro is so sweet and takes his time to listen to you about what you want… I’m super happy with my haircut, the length and layers are perfect … Don’t waste your time going anywhere else in Astoria, his the best !!!

The best hairstyle ever, tks zé pedro for the awesome job. I recommend always. He’s so professional and friendly.

I love going to Rio Palace. The salon is warm and inviting. Ze Pedro is amazing! I love my color and hairstyle. I get compliments on my hair all the time even when a few months have passed between visits because the cut always grows out nicely… for me that is a sign of great hairstylist.

Wonderful experience as always! I’ve been going to Ze Pedro for a long time now, and I have to say that he’s probably the best hairdresser in town! He is so passionate about his job, and his techniques are very complex and modern. Ze is not only a hairdresser, but a remarkable artist!
I admire him as a professional and human being! Such beautiful soul! :)

What a wonderful experience! Ze Pedro cut and blow dry my hair and i am extremely satisfied wt the results. I will be going back! Thank you Ze Pedro!

I tried Ze Pedro’s salon based of all the great reviews and let me tell you… They’re not lying! I came in with the thickest highlights, super streaky with an ugly orange/​copper tone. It was really bad. Ze Pedro took the time to fix my ENTIRE look, and I have a lot of hair. He fixed the highlights to a beautiful well-​blended balayage, re-​did my roots whom were in desperate need and the most important part is that my hair is STILL so healthy even after all the work I had done less than a month before! Ze Pedro is honestly a hair genius. He actually CARES about your hair and LISTENS to what you want instead of just doing what he prefers. I’m super picky about my hair, especially when it comes to color. I was so upset when I got to Rio Palace Salon but left so in love with my hair! Trust me, you won’t regret it! Thanks Ze Pedro!

I was really pleased with this salon and definitely plan on going back! The master stylist cut and styled my hair beautifully. He gave me exactly what I asked for and blow dried my hair in such a way that I was able to wear the style for another 4 – 5 days! He was courteous and took his time. At no point did I feel rushed out of there. He listened to what my hair concerns were and even recommended products for me to use-​that he didn’t have any affiliation with. The staff was friendly and offered me coffee and snacks during my wait, which wasn’t long at all. I was greeted by smiles and my entire experience was great!

Ze Pedro is Amazing! He is a true artist who loves what he does. I’ve been to him now about 3 times and I can’t imagine trusting my hair to anyone else. When you finally find someone who understands your hair it’s a great feeling. I recommend him whole heartedly. I feel very lucky to live in Astoria and have him close to me. Also he is just a really nice guy on top of it all!

Ze Pedro saved my hair and I couldn’t be happier. My usual stylist totally butchered my color and after I went to get it «fixed» he made it worse. I live super close to rio palace but never bothered to go in until I saw the reviews in Unilocal.I was devastated because of how my hair looked so I walked in to get a consultation. I was traveling in the next few days and couldn’t leave looking like I did! Pedro did not have any openings but he said he was going to try and fit me in somehow somewhere. And he did! He told me to come Friday night and he started to work on my hair about 7. He didn’t finish until about midnight and I couldn’t believe how amazing my hair looked. It felt and looked healthier and softer than ever. Pedro suggested to get the hair Botox which I did after I came back from vacation. So far I like the results, my hair still requires some styling but it is minimal compared to before. Also, Pedro’s salon almost always looks empty but don’t be fooled. He doesn’t like to overbook clients and he is really invested and devoted to what he is doing. Did I mention Adriana Lima is his client? Anyway! This review is too long but he deserves it. I wouldn’t let anyone else touch my hair. He is worth every dollar. I will load pics later.

Pedro is an amazing artist. He knows how to cut and color my hair according to my face structure and hair type.
I met Pedro three years ago and he still works to improve my hair and style as I grow older and my hair changes.
I always feel beautiful and much younger after leaving the salon. My family and friends continue to notice the difference Pedro has made in my life.

To say that i was happy with my results is an understament. Despite the fact that he has worked with some of todays biggest stars, have been featured in major magazines and has been in the industry for so many years, he is incredibly humble and an amzing artist. He truly is a master of hair. I came to him with black hair wanting a natural looking ombré. I explained that i didnt want any yellowish or copperish looking highlights, or chunky highlights. I wanted something very natural but different. I had tried in the past and my hair always ended up broken, extremely dry, and terrible color. I seriously lost all hope and just settled for my black hair. I decided to try Ze Pedro because he has amazing reviews, and yes because he is Adriana Limas hair dresser. I was expecting someone and a total different experience. First the salon has a very elegant and cozy feel. Its absolutly gorgeous and it feels very intimate. I was very pleasently suprise to see how he took his time to look at my hair and listen to me. I loved how welcomed and comfortable he made me feel. I love his coffee. I felt like i was with a friend but always profesional. I also loved that I didnt feel pressure. Thats very important to me. Lastly, I’m in love with the outcome of his work. Its perfect. Just what I wanted I LOVE IT. Im so happy to find an actual hair artist who understands and listen. I can go on for days on how posity my expirience was but i think you get the point. Thank you Ze Pedro

I’m growing my hair that is curly, I met Pedro a few years ago and went to see him to do a keratin treatment yesterday, this morning after washing my hair could not believe what had happened with my hair … looks beautifullllllllll. Pedro thanks for your hard work, attention and for make me and my hair beautiful:)

Zé Pedro is one in a million! I fly from the West Coast to have a hair cut with him ! He is very sincere and straight forward! You can trust his advice because he knows exactly what to do once he sees you! Thank you Zé Pedro for the fantastic hair cut today!

I went to Ze Pedro really looking for a make over. The entire experience was great! I could tell right from the beginning that he is someone who loves what he does and puts his heart and soul into it. He was extremely friendly, listened to my reservations and concerns and by listening to what he had to say I was able to trust him as he was really looking to give me the best of his work.
The end result was FANTASTIC!
Thank you Ze Pedro for the great work and congrats on your salon!!!
Sucesso!

Obviously, Pedro is incredible for long female hair. But I also recommend him as a picky guy with medium length, wavy hair. No salon takes any guys’ hair seriously, because most guys don’t care about their hair. Pedro is the first stylist who talked to me about my hair until he completely understood what I’m looking for. I’m so happy with my look now (and for only $ 30, seriously?!) and ended up nailing a job interview immediately after.

Ze Pedro is an angel! He is not only a master hairdresser but an artist. He sculpted my short hair that resembled a chia pet, into a beautiful art that fit my face. I had gone to another salon, I already had a pixie cut so I just wanted my bangs trimmed. I am Asian, so my hair flies everywhere, I walked out of that salon looking like a porcupine!!! I cried every time I looked at a reflective service.
I came across Rio Palace Salon and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did because I feel like myself again. Ze Pedro is an artist and his canvas is your hair. He took the time and patience to cut/​style my hair that fit my face. His attention to detail, natural gift, creativity, and focus make you feel like you are his piece of art. Not only is he an talented and gifted person but he is kind and listens to your needs!!! I left his salon feeling beautiful!

I know Pedro already has a perfect 5 star rating, and a hand full of celebrities and models that would fallow him where ever he go’s.
but I have to add another glowing review! He is amazing. Truly a master. I have naturally a curly hair, so You can imagine the amount of hair stylists I tried, and the amount of money I spent on Keratin… Pedro listened closely and delivered on everything I wanted, he is the type of hair master that you can trust, and you will be leaving looking like a star. I do every time I come to his Salon.
I am so happy he opened his Salon close to where I live, his staff are super friendly specially in my case I have a new born, my baby was super comfortable every time I bring her with me, the space is gorgeous and spacious, decorated with zest, very clean and always neat.
Pedro is super flexible in regards to time, he would open early if I have a event or a appointment, I really can’t ask for more, I won’t go anywhere ales that now I Find a stylist like Pedro that every time I come to his salon he make sure I was completely satisfied before I leave. He is a true Artist.
Hanan.

The BEST! I have been a client for over 7 years. I have been to other stylists before ZePedro and have used others in a bind but no one has the skills, experience, and care that ZePedro has. With over 30 years of experience ZePedro has found the perfect environment in Rio Palace. From the moment you walk in he makes you feel like royalty. The beautiful décor, comfortable atmosphere, and friendly service make my weekly visits a joy that i look forward to.

Don’t be fooled by the Astoria location, Pedro is a world-​class hairdresser in a beautiful, clean new salon with a Versailles vibe. Not to mention that he has a celebrity following (
… and
…) Pedro is well known for his brazilian keratin, gorgeous hair color, cuts and blowouts. This man is seriously heaven sent! Most recently, I came to him with a hair emergency (dark roots desperately in need of toning and highlights) after going to a rude celebrity hairdresser who claimed that the look I was hoping to achieve was impossible. After hearing my story, Pedro squeezed me into his schedule and spent hours working to give me the shiny, blended sandy blonde with light meshes around my face that I had been dreaming about!
