Magaly Rivera
Master Stylist
HonestyLoyaltyFriend
Confident, honest and unafraid to "tell it like it is," Magaly hails from a family of barbers, beauticians, and hairstylists, so it's no surprise she was drawn to the industry. She entered beauty school at 19 in Puerto Rico and has now been doing hair for a total of 42 years, the last 24 of which have been at ROP. She's a master at everything from color to highlights to cuts, but she especially excels at blow-outs. Robert Sr. even claimed that he'd never seen anyone else able to do a blow-out with Magaly's expertise. Although she plans to reduce her hours in the future, Magaly will never fully retire because she loves meeting new people and socializing with her co-workers. Magaly's spritz of advice (for both life and hair) is to just go with the flow.

AboutBehind the chair
Coming from a family of barbers, my grandfather was a talented barber who inspired me to pursue this path. My aunt Longui played a significant role in influencing my career choice.

The consultationWhat to expect
I begin every session with a personal introduction and a thorough consultation to understand the guest's needs. I review their client history before they arrive to be fully prepared.
To me, healthy hair shines naturally, bounces, and maintains a good shape. It's about treating the hair right and using the best products.
First-time guestsCome prepared by arriving on time, and I'll handle everything else from there.

Thank you Magsly , For making my hair look the best !! Arthea 🎶❣️
Love the way she cuts, colors & styles my hair
I usually love going in to get my hair colored and cut. Magaly is wonderful. However the client of another stylist was very annoying and inconsiderate of the people around her. She brought her dog which is not a big deal. What was excruciatingly painful was listening to her “talk” to her dog in a very high pitched voice. Thank god I had my AirPods but even at full volume I could still hear her.
Always does a beautiful job on my hair
