Looking 4 Advice

by pinkroses1107 at Citysearch

This isn't exactly a review, I was wondering what the prices were like at this salon. I'm moving to Miami for college, and i get my hair done every two weeks. And also, I'm mixed with Puerto Rican, White, Native American, and Black, is this salon good at treating all types of hair? Mine is really long and straight, but it's thick.

$75 for a men's haircut is not affordable

$75 for a men's haircut is not affordable. This should be removed from the "best affordable haircuts" list asap.

I FOUND MY SOUL MATE HAIRDESIGNER !!!!!!

by Zukijen at Citysearch

My name is Jennifer. I have been to different hair salons/stylists which ranges from high end to super cuts in search of the dream hair designer that can capture the image I describe in my head of the dream cut and most of them have disillusioned me. Until Now. His name is Joseph Santiago from Vidal Sasson. I did some research and knew sort of what I wanted but still you need a designer that is honest and can tell you if it will really look good with the shape of your face. He was extremely professional. I loved that he listened to me, gave me his feedback and most importantly explained to me what he was going to do and how he was going to proceed in accomplishing this. It made me feel as if we were in sync with the idea. I felt at ease and confidant with his skill and expertise. Another point I would like to make is that he was very nice and humble, made me feel comfortable with some small talk but he was very focused and concentrated on cutting my hair. I walked in feeling very outdated and old ( I am 31 years old) and walked out feeling confidant, modern, sophisticated, classy and chic. Almost as if he looked into my head to see the vision I had of my haircut. What amazing precision in his hands. When he was done, I was in Awe. My best friend couldn't recognize me and loved my hair cut so much she made an appointment right away with him. I would also like to make reference to the staff: the receptionist and Ramsey who washed my hair. They were very professional, friendly and made me feel welcomed. In particular, the receptionist was very kind and though it had been a very long time since I had been there (10 years ago) she made me feel like if I was one of their regular clients. It is worth every penny and driving 20 miles (I live out west) to have him cut my hair.

Thank you to Joseph Santiago for bringing me up to date and helping me start 2009 with a fresh, great new look!!!!! Jenny

New Look

by rustytay at Citysearch

Found out about the student haircuts. What a great deal. You make a reservation when they're giving a class, so a student gives you the cut. A top-level instructor watches & guides the student. So you get a $100+ hatircut for less than $25. My hair looks great. Ting gace me a totally new look that still looks great. Everybody was really nice and did their best to make customers happy. I highly recommend you try them out. Some are better than others, but they're all pros.

• Pros: Great deal, professional, friendly
• Cons: parking can be a pain, but it's South Beach

Excellent Service, great stylists

by jetset56 at Citysearch

I've been going here for awhile now and love it. After trying pretty much every high-end salon, I am most impressed with this one. The staff is very professional, friendly and provide excellent customer service. (No big egos here!) The stylists are all very well good, I don't think you could go wrong with any of them.

• Pros: Good service, good stylists
• Cons: Parking

Cutting Pros

by kalyak at Citysearch

Everyone looked so professional taking care of their customers. It was my first time. It was a good choice because I left with a great cut that I can wear several different ways. I like that. They are pros and care about their customers.

• Pros: well trained, pros, clean
• Cons: Beach parking-bad
