I recently had an incredible experience at Roya, and I can’t recommend it enough. From the moment I walked in, Julia made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Julia took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, asking thoughtful questions about my lifestyle, hair texture, and preferences, which made me feel like I was in truly capable hands. The actual haircut was a work of art. Julia’s precision and attention to detail were impeccable; she really took the time to perfect every angle. I could tell she is deeply passionate and skilled at she does. The atmosphere was relaxing, and I felt pampered throughout the experience, which made it feel more like a treat than a typical haircut. I left the salon feeling confident, refreshed, and incredibly happy with my new style. If you’re looking for a place that values quality and client satisfaction, I’d highly recommend Roya… not only for cuts but for color too!

𝐀𝐁𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎/𝟏𝟎 I 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘭𝘺 recommend booking with Julia and Sima. The first time that I came to them, I got a full head of highlights on virgin hair, showing them inspiration pictures of the desired color and cut. You can imagine how nervous I was, considering it was my first time. Both of them carefully consulted with me and ensured that I got exactly what I wanted! The outcome was amazing, and I was very satisfied. Ever since, I have never went to anyone else. I have been coming to them from Jersey for a year now, if that says anything! I have never trusted anyone more with my hair. They are extremely hospitable, TALENTED, kind, patient, and friendly. All of these characteristics are things that you would look for in a hairdresser. Each time that I come, they offer something to drink and eat! They never fail to impress me (and others…)! I always get asked where I get my hair done and colored. There are so many more positive things that I can say… Notice how all of their reviews are 5 stars 🌟 Ultimately, if you are looking for a BOMB haircut and FLAWLESS highlights, please come to them! (Check out their instagrams for their amazing work: @colorbysima and @juliamannino_hair). Thank you Julia and Sima aka The Hair Gurus!

Julia & her team always do me proud! I can’t say enough about my hair


Feb 06, 2024

Julia is so talented and is the kindest human! I've been twice and highly recommend, especially for a curly haircut.


Feb 06, 2024

Sima and Julia are a dream duo when it comes to hair. From the moment you step into their cozy studio, you feel their warm energy and you know you'll be taken care of. I've been going to Sima to get my blonde highlights for years and there is no one else I would trust. She knows exactly what looks good and what I need. Julia is great with haircuts and styling. Everytime I visit there are great tunes, convos and sometimes even sweets! Absolutely cannot go wrong with these ladies.


Feb 06, 2024

Sima and Julia are simply the best! I’ve been going to them both for years. Sima does everything to get you the color you want without damage. Extremely knowledgeable. Julia does my curly cuts and I trust no one with scissors except her. Great atmosphere! Highly recommend these two ladies and their salon


Feb 06, 2023

Absolutely loved the haircut and experience! Julia is great!


Feb 06, 2023

Amazing experience, haven't cut my hair in almost three years. Didn't know what I wanted and Julia didn't disappoint. Biggest part I took from the session, Julia explained how to maintain and treat my hair. I've been getting a ton of compliments. I will definitely be coming back.


Feb 06, 2023

I hadn't had my hair cut in 3 years, and Julia was the perfect person to go to! She listened to exactly what I wanted, asked all the right questions and offered some great suggestions. I went for some subtle layers to help relieve some of the heaviness in my one-length long hair. I am so happy with the result! The space is also so cute and relaxed. I will definitely be going back.


Feb 06, 2023

Julia and Sima are the best duo! Not only are they both amazing stylists, but they also make you feel so welcomed in their space, offering snacks and beverages right when you walk in. I always leave Roya feeling 10x better!


Feb 06, 2023

Julia did such a great job on my curly haircut! It's been a while since I felt good wearing my hair down. The layering is perfect- my hair is still so long and so full of volume. Thank you! Also, it's so nice not to break the bank on a curly haircut. I will be back soon!


Feb 06, 2023

Julia is the freaking best! She not only gives great hair cuts, but also goes above and beyond to offer styling/product advice. I bother her regularly for recommendations and have found some of my favorites this way. Julia is also just a nice, pleasant person who truly loves what she does and it shows :)


Feb 06, 2023

Sima and Julia are the best! I worked with them over the years and they were always my go to girls for cut/color. I constantly like to change up my look and no matter what it is they always kill it. I always get so many compliments on my hair. You need to go see them for the best cut/color of your life. I recently moved but I make sure to see them whenever im visiting for all my hair needs.


Feb 06, 2023

Such an amazing haircut! I've been going to Julia for years and I'm always more impressed. I have very curly hair. She does an great job. 10/10


Feb 06, 2022

Cannot say enough good things about Julia and her work. Not only is she super sweet and attentive but her hair styling skills are beyond. You are treated with 100% professionalism the moment you walk in and the entire appointment was enjoyable. I won’t be going anywhere else! Even better, you’re supporting a small business of two awesome hair stylists doing what they love.


Feb 06, 2022

Couldn’t love these two ladies more. Professional, friendly, insanely talented, I can’t imagine going to anyone else! I’ve been with them for a long time and they have made me feel beautiful when I needed it most.Their new space is perfect and relaxing, they can accomplish any look you dream up. It’s rare to find people who are the best in their field and also amazing individuals like Sima and Julia.


Feb 06, 2022

I always have the best experience at Roya! I always love my cut, the salon is beautiful, and Julia is amazing and makes me feel so comfortable. Can't wait for my next appointment!


Feb 06, 2022

I have been a client of Julia & Sima’s for years and am so pleased with their new spot Roya. Julia always gives me a great cut (bangs & long hair) and styles it so great - I always feel amazing. And Sima has not only found the perfect color for my roots, but adds unique highlights for the most depth of color - I get so many compliments! Add on these two ladies are absolute gems, you can’t go wrong. Even my husband started going to Julia for his cuts too! They are THE BEST!


Feb 06, 2022

I look forward to my cut and color appointments with Sima and Julia so much so that I book my next appointment before I even leave the salon. They are truly the most professional, talented, and amazing hair stylists I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They genuinely work magic on my hair every time I’m in their gorgeous studio. Not only do they treat you with their undivided attention, they also listen closely to what you want to do with your hair and make it a reality. It’s an amazing process to watch. They are constantly making me smile and laugh the entire time I’m there and even provided me with a phone charger and complimentary snacks! They are always thinking of their customers. I feel so lucky to have the very best of the best doing my hair.


Feb 06, 2022

I’ve never had so many compliments on my cut and color as I have with Julia and Sima doing my hair. And to boot they’re “lady bosses” doing their thing in their own cute little Chelsea salon which feels like my own private oasis. Top colorist and stylists - can’t recommend them enough!


Feb 06, 2022

Julia is incredible! I was nervous moving to the city and having to find a new stylist, and I’m so glad I found Julia! She instantly helped me feel at ease as she listened/looked at pictures of what I was going for. Bangs and several inches cut later, she nailed it! Will not trust my hair with anyone else.


Feb 06, 2022

Julia is the best, honestly she’s the first stylist I’ve been to that’s given me a cut that worked with my naturally wavy hair and not against it! She always takes the time to understand what you’re looking for and reflect that. Also her general haircare advice has been super helpful to take better care of my hair


Feb 06, 2022

Oh. My. God. Where to even begin. I have been going to Julia and Sima for my cut and color for the past three years and I will not let anyone else TOUCH my hair! Sima is an absolute color genius, somehow getting my hair to the absolute perfect platinum, and Julia is truly a gift to curly girls all around. She somehow creates volume in my hair out of thin air and somehow I leave every time thinking, "no THIS is the best cut I've ever had!" They are all around such gems and their salon is the perfect environment to relax, have a glass of wine, and treat yourself to an afternoon of self care with two gals that will feel like old friends by the time you leave!


Feb 06, 2022

Roya is amazing! Julia did my cut & style and made me feel my absolute best. She takes into account what you want but also provides her expert opinion on what would work for your texture, shape, etc. Would highly recommend!


Feb 06, 2022

Sima and Julia are the best. They are always attentive, sweet and thorough.


Feb 06, 2022

Sima and Julia are the perfect team! They both do an amazing job translating photos/ descriptions of what I want into a reality. They are professional, but also so fun. Coming in is always a treat and has me walking away feeling myself!!! I love their work and have sent several friends to them.


Feb 06, 2022

Sima and Julia are true artist! I live upstate 2 hours away and i will always drive down to get my hair done my them! They Nail it each and every time. It’s a comfortable spot, and an awesome experience. I feel beautiful every time i leave the salon!


Feb 06, 2022

These two girls are the best in the business! So professional and friendly. I look forward to every appointment I have with them. My hair has never looked better!


Feb 06, 2022

Very happy with my haircut from Julia


Feb 06, 2022

Hands down best haircut of my life! Julia is so fabulous. She makes you feel so welcomed and staves off any fears or worries. Her eye is impeccable and I find myself so readily trusting under her care. Really inquisitive to ensure she gives you exactly what you want and more. I feel like I’ve known her for years! Highly recommend.


Feb 06, 2022

I was very unhappy with my hair before I started coming to this salon. Julia was able to help me cut off my dead ends while still preserving the length. Thanks to her tips I am finally on the road to the healthy, long hair I’ve always wanted. I have a fantastic experience every single time I come into the salon. Sima and Julia are both very kind, professional, and caring individuals. I really can’t recommend Roya enough if your looking for a new Salon.


Feb 06, 2022

I’ve been seeing Sima and Julia for a while now and am so glad they’ve opened their own place! They have their practices down so well and each visit with the two of them is so seamless. Not to mention the results are always incredible and we always have a good time :)


Feb 06, 2022

Julia and Sima are two of the most talented professionals I’ve ever been to. I have curly hair and Julia is able to customize my cut so I can wear it natural or blown out. If your looking for someone who puts their customers happiness as type priority, definitely check them out!


Feb 06, 2022

Julia was great!!! She trimmed my beard to perfection and got the delighted approval of my girlfriend (the toughest critic). Would highly recommend for men’s and boy’s haircut based on my experience.
