Ricky's NYC

There’s always one corner store for the things you weren’t shopping for. Beauty supply comes in many forms across New York aisles, from drugstore aisles to backroom salons. When the neighborhood shops narrow to basics, specialty stores like Ricky’s NYC do what chain retailers can’t.

Behind the Broadway storefront at 2906–08 Broadway New York, NY 10025 you’ll find what hair care looks like when it’s imported, in bulk, and still organized for quick grabs. It’s half pharmacy samples, half professional keychain bottles lining the walls. Supplies don’t stay on shelves long once the door buzzes at nine AM.

A quick bell rings you inside; hair wax, edge control gel, and synthetic packs wait near the aisles packed with curling wand bits. High-lift tints sit next to setting lotions you’ll only use once, and the bottled water section hosts single-use shower caps for every curl pattern.
