Ricky’s NYC

Located on the most coveted street of Miami Beach — was looking for clip on hair extensions as they carry wigs. Did not have what I wanted :((Booo!
But at least they sent me in the right direction: Sally Beauty supply — about 6 blocks away!
I still was disappointed not to find them at Rickis.

Slow at the register ! I swear if your only second in line you feel like you are waiting for light years.
Besides that, workers are generally friendly and not up your are and around the corner. They are laid back and generous

On my first walk down Lincoln Road I saw the signage for both of the Ricky’s locations. My wife mentioned seeing a large number of blogs referencing how great their product selection is.
Recently i’ve begin styling my hair a different way and that new style requires far more product than I currently own. It also requires a stronger hold product than I currently own.
After breakfast on Lincoln Rd I noticed the shop was opened and stopped in. With my check in on Unilocal I received my choice of Anti-​Frizz combs. Great for me as a bonus but even better for my wife. Her hair is long so the humidity frizz is a real issue for her. My hair is so short it doesn’t really have any humidity related issues.
We were greeted when we walked in and I described what I was looking for. Interestingly they took me to the product I currently used. When I described that I needed something stronger and showed them the styles I wanted for my hair (I was wearing a baseball hat and my hair was unstyled at the time) they showed me a different wall of various strength creams and pomades. I hate crunchy helmet hair as I call it. I wanted something strong but soft and not high shine.
I wound up finding 2 different hold strengths from 1 company and several more to consider once I tried these out. One of the containers was open (not the tester) but it was the last one in stock. They offered me 10% off so that I could still go home with it and try it. I thought that was a nice effort since it was my last full day in Miami and couldn’t wait for them to restock their products.
During checkout we made conversations and had some laughs about Miami drivers and why In-​N-​Out will always be the best burgers.
Not only did I get some great hair care advice, great products and a free comb — I got great customer service and a few laughs.
I wish I had a store this amazing close to me… but — they have a website! Whoooo hooo!!!

How can you not love Ricky’s, especially when you are far away from NYC.
For the first time ever, they were actually out of my conditioner at both Lincoln Road locations — shame on them for that. But, I found other fun items to buy and was stoked they were offering a Unilocal check-​in offer.
It is crazy busy like another reviewer said but they literally have all the products I love, including Marvis toothpaste from Italy. You always find something here.
Wish Ricky’s made it to more cities across the country.

I wish I had known about the Unilocal offer for 10% off when I visited but Nikki, the store manager, was awesome! I got some free samples to try (including Loreal and a couple other brands I don’t remember) and she gave me a discount anyway (thank you)!
I really like Ricky’s! Plus this location is located right in the heart of Lincoln Road Mall, so you can get your shop on after buying some hair products. When I was searching for beauty supply stores (BSS) in Miami, I only came across the weave stores which isn’t what I was looking for and I didn’t want to take my chances on going to any old BSS only to find relaxed or weave-​friendly products.
I have natural hair and I was looking for the natural hair products, i.e. Camille Rose Naturals, Jane Carter, Curl Junkie, etc. When I found out there was a Ricky’s location (actually two) in Miami, I definitely had to come and check it out since I have heard great things about the New York location.
I was able to pick up a Camille Rose Algae Renew deep conditioner, Jane Carter Hydrate Creamy Leave In Styling Smoother and some hair chalk by Hair Color Chalk. They had competitive prices, if not cheaper than online and other stores. For example, if you go to the Hair Color Chalk website, they charge $ 14.99 for their hair chalks whereas Ricky’s only charged $ 10. WINNING! Lol!
Not only is Ricky’s a BSS with hair products, shampoos, supplies, dryers, etc. but there is also an adult room in the back room on the second floor.

This place is AWESOME!!! Whatever you might need to get your freak on for Halloween or just because, they have it! Staff is super friendly & helpful as well.
Be forewarned — if you are coming for Halloween supplies, SHOP EARLY! This place gets packed!
Also, while they have a great selection of salon products, I find them to be a bit pricey in that department… comes with being on Lincoln Road, I suppose.

When you walk in you’re amazed by all the different colored hair accessories. This place had a lot of variety, but… Here it comes. They do not keep their price signs updated, and the staff is unaware of the actual price of items or which items are on sale. I was charged incorrectly and/​or NO ONE in the store actually knew the prices.

I cannot say enough about Ricky’s.I LOVE product and my bestie who loves Product almost as much as I do. was with me when we discovered this store.
There is Product everywhere and nothing makes me happier than Product okay well one or two things but you understand. I needed a Pureology product almost only the top salons carry and they had it. saved my hair from beach and sun fun!
There was a top floor which I’m hoping to some day go back and explore. I have and do use the Deva Curl which my bestie secretly purchased for me. she loves me and it rocks socks!
Sucks you all are not here, maybe not I do have bills otherwise you may take most of my paycheck.
Love to products. you make me happy!

They have everything you could possibly need/​or want. Endless browsing of a great variety of products. Non intrusive staff offer help if you need it.

I’ve purchased everything from toothpaste to Havaianas to a turban-​style headband from Ricky’s. I wish we had it around my parts, but I’m not so lucky.
Ricky’s has everything cosmetic and beauty based, from natural products to makeup and hair accessories/​products. If you know what you’re looking for, you’ll be able to navigate easily around the store. Otherwise, it’s a bit of a (fun) treasure hunt.
Their selection of Stila products is pretty wide – you can even find some of the difficult-​to-​find convertible colors here. Nail products don’t disappoint either – just hop in. it’s open late, and you’re sure to find something to prettify yourself up.

In terms of shopping in South Beach, I got the best service at Ricky’s. If you’ve never been to a Ricky’s before def hit this up. Mandatory if you love cosmetics and skin/​haircare products.
Forget your sticky bra? They got it.
Need a travel candle for your musty hotel room? Done.
Want green glitter fake lashes for the girlfriends you left at home? Perfect. (and only $ 8.)
And to top it all off, adult novelties upstairs.
I had to mail an entire box of lashes home, as ain’t no way they were all fitting in my carry on.

«Hair dye. hair DYE» is what I heard as we passed by this place and my daughter pointed out that they had dye amongst an abundance of many other hair products. So we wander in to find Manic Panic in New Rose. aka cool ass hot pink.
This they did have, they also had plenty of natural color dyes, curlers, combs, brushes, etc. etc. Literally anything you might need for your hair. They also have a WALL of wigs, very cool wigs in every style and color, not only natural colors but blue, pink, green, yellow and other crazy colors. Good prices for the wigs too. Boas to match the fun wigs? Sure. They have them. Makeup? Sure.Socks. yes. Really, they have just about anything you want.
Upstairs they have an adult section (we didn’t go up there but did see the costumes hanging at the entrance) and a gentleman came down with a HUGE dildo so I figure its as full of adult items as the rest of the store.
Prices are ok, not great but the Manic Panic was comparable to Spencer’s which is the only other place I have found it.

i don’t know whats worse shopping for present on christmas even or a costume on halloween.
Lucky for me Ricky’s was the only place that still had a full selection of costumes available, in all sizes.
Granted the line wrapped around the block, but it moved quickly.

So, part of me wants to give this place one star… but just because it’s a complete MAD HOUSE! Haha, it probably has to do with the nearing of Halloween… but this place has soooo much stuff crammed in here it’s difficult to move. Not the best store for someone who is slightly claustrophobic…
Anyhow, they have tons of costumes (slutty to fairly normal) and they have a MASSIVE wig selection. They also have a lot of accessories and makeup. So, if you live on the beach and need a get-​up I think this is your place. Be ready to be overwhelmed by freaks & sheer volume of things crammed in to a small space! You have been warned!

I appreciated the fact this store existed. Very clean and orderly inside with tons of stuff for hair. Manic Panic? Sure! As well as pricier hair dyes. One of the managers took my friend for a tour around the place while I poked about on my own. Eventually I found a shower gel that was on sale.
At least I thought it was on sale. The counter guy said only certain ones were on sale. Then why was a whole row of them parked in that sale section? He said they would have to remove them to their original shelf. One of his coworkers tried to get him to give me the sale price but he wouldn’t do it.
Well then, they lost a sale. I can’t stand gimmicks.

Welcome Sugar ! Now this is a drugstore !
CVS does not have a website like Rickys.
Full range of hair products/​tools… Browse through novelty products, enjoy the music, and grab what you need for hair, skin, face, nails.
I love the energy and randomness of Rickys and always leave with a few more things than planned.
.

If CVS and Spirit Halloween Store combined with an added naughty twist you’d have Rickys. Imagine a wall of wigs with names like Sugar, Joan, and Loca and then a whole section dedicated to pedicures oh and the costumes and yes that is Rickys.
Perfect for last minute Halloween costumes or picking up that leave in conditioner before hitting the beach. Also good for theme parties throughout the year.

I could have spent an hour or more wandering through this store; as it is, I think I was there for at least 30 minutes. I only bought a few things that I could take back on the plane, but I was mesmerized. Plus, they have tons of fake tattoos and wigs and stuff, which is always fun. Great selection of vastly different things. From rainboots to erotic costumes to pasties, you’re covered here.

A trippy drugstore experience sums up Ricky’s Lincoln Rd. boutique. Everytime I step in here, I think one thing: John Waters, of Hairspray fame, would LOVE this place. Have fun and don’t take yourself seriously is the message found in its product lineup:
neon wigs, beachy wares, cheeky tchotkes, sparkly makeup, and cosmetics/​bath stuff like Dirty Girl. Don’t forget about the naughty offerings it has on their 2^nd floor, wink.
This place gets wicked crowded for Halloween for their huge costume offerings, dragqueen types and club kids are welcomed here.
