Reina Hair at Radiance Spa

Salons on the Upper West Side often feel like hurried waypoints between errands. Reina Hair at Radiance Spa takes a slower approach, offering cuts, color, keratin treatments, blowouts, and extensions without the rush. The space sits just off Broadway at 269 W 72nd St #1B, where the neighborhood’s pre-war facades give way to a quieter stretch of storefronts.

Beyond the usual trims, services include balayage, Brazilian straightening, and scalp treatments—enough variety to cover everything from a quick refresh to a full transformation. The area itself is a mix of long-time residents and weekend visitors, so the salon’s hours tend to accommodate both steady locals and drop-ins from nearby hotels.

When it’s time to book, dial (917) 856-7205 to secure a slot. For directions, pull up the map and follow the side streets; the entrance is easy to miss if you’re speed-walking past the delis and bodegas.
