Paula's Salon

Everybody Knows Your Name, And You'll be Glad You Came!

by JoManning at Citysearch

I whole-heartedly recommend all the services -- haircuts, hair coloring, manicure, pedicure, spa services, etc. -- offered at Paula's Salon in Miami Beach. I'm a writer and community activist and have to look good for public appearances. I went to blonde from very dark brown hair 8 years ago and, thanks to owner Paula Sperduto's talent and concern for how each and every one of her clients looks, my hair is fabulous. I am often stopped on the street and asked, who cuts your hair? No kidding, it's that good! And the color is so natural-looking, so in tune with my eyes and skin tones, that when I tell people my color is not what I was born with, that it comes from a bottle, they really have trouble believing it. It took me three miserable years of searching and too many botched hair jobs before I found this terrific salon on Miami Beach. On the beach, hairdressers come and go and can nonchalantly screw up a lot of cuts and color and not care, but this salon is a keeper. Not only is everything top-notch and professional -- equal if not superior to salons I've patronized in New York City, London, Paris, and Bombay -- but the ambiance is wonderful. It's a friendly salon with nice people. No one puts on airs or looks down on clients. (Lots of other places you can go to for that!) It's a pleasure to come here and interact with the staff, from the lovely girl who washes hair, the fun young receptionist, those who provide spa and nail services, and the extremely skilled hair styling and coloring professionals who do such wonders daily with each and every person who walks in the door. I cannot imagine anyone badmouthing this terrific place, where everyone knows your name and is so glad you came. I'd be totally lost without Paula. Again, there are some pretty bad salons on the beach, salons that overcharge, stylists that botch up hair and color; Paula's Salon is not one of them. Paula fixes what other salons botch. This is the best. Just that: the best. Make your hair happy.

Two In One Todd Phillip

by khman at Citysearch

After looking on the Internet for a hairstylist to do my hair for my Miami wedding, I came across a few and Todd seemed to catch my interest.

I went in for a trial and decided to have him cut my hair as well and too my supprise he was more the I expected!

Im very happy which is a hard thing for me to say because I have been around the block when it comes to hairstylist.

He is truly an artist and not only am I going to become a faithful client for hair cutting, styling, and, not to mention trying the Brazillian Keratin Treatment with him "at a reasonable price no less" but he will be doing my hair for my wedding and if that is not enough he will also stay for the wedding and be a part of the photography team because he is also a great photographer!

Wow what a talent find indeed!

Brazilian Hair by Todd Phillip

by Robyn145 at Citysearch

Recently I researched where to get my haircut and I very happily found todd phillip,...who is a true hair Master!! at the Paula’s salon in Miami beach…He was very methodical in his approach to cutting hair and I knew I was in the hands of a pro even before he revealed his training was from Manhattan on 5th avenue, which was very apparent to me as I have lived as a model some years ago and know the difference.

My hair is almost platinum and gets a bit frizzy in the humidity of the summer so he recommended me letting him do the Brazilian Keratin Hair straightening treatment

I have to say…between the artfully cut haircut and the Brazilian treatment I have been transformed into a new woman!!

Luv Him!!

• Pros: Todd
• Cons: Parking at times

Todd phillip hair guru

by Michellep24 at Citysearch

I went to to get a blow-dry and I had decided after seeing todd in action while doing a hair cut to have him trim my hair.

I am so happy I did because he was spectacular in his execution and haircutting abilities.

He blew my lock with "passion" and I felt it with every pass of the brush.

Highly recommend this to anyone looking for something that gives more then you expect.

:)

• Pros: Hair cuts

I agree Todd Phillip is great

by cbrown19 at Citysearch

I live in Michigan and was getting married in Miami. I was so nervous because I was going into everything totally blind and just taking peoples word for it. I had my hair done by Todd at Paula's salon and it turned out amazing! I was even more surprised with their prices. My up-do was only 80 dollars. If anyone has ever been to South Beach they can tell you that EVERYTHING there is expensive. My hair was so soft and looked great for days. He shared a lot of great information with me on how to keep my hair healthy. If you are planning a wedding in that area and you are looking for a place to go....GO HERE. You will be so pleased.

It to ever end ! sigh.

Todd my intense hair stylist forever

by FabianaB at Citysearch

Intensity and Loved it!

This is all I can say about having my hair cut by Mr Todd Phillip.

It was an intense experience coupled with a perfectly executed hair cut and sensational styling,which was an experience i wish I could have every day or at leastr once a week.This Hairstylist was so focused on me and my hair for that hour and fifteen minutes I felt so special as if I were the only client of his in the world. After he was through with me I felt like a new woman, more beautiful then ever before and so relaxed as if I spent a day at the spa.sigh, I can not wait to have another appointment with Mr Todd Phillip!

Best Salon in Miami

by Jannyz at Citysearch

I went here on a referral from a work associate....Being new to town its nerve wracking to go somewhere new, especially a salon! Well this was a first, the girl at the desk is a trip, shes got amazing style to start...Then I met Paula, the nicest, most sincere person who actually knows her stuff, I was immediately comfortable. My hair color came out amazing, better than expected and the haircut with Todd was a truly unique experience. Ive never had someone spend that much time on me, and Ive paid plenty, the difference this time was, I can actually do my hair.....at home its looking great because he really paid such attention to EVERY detail!

Overall it was a refreshing change from the snobby salons with people who think they know there stuff, I found one that truly does.:)

• Pros: everything
• Cons: none that I ran into

Haircut by Todd

by Mercedes2l at Citysearch

I live in Palm Beach and my hair guy who has been doing my hair for ten years had moved to the west coast which create a real problem me because I am a freak about my hair cut and style. My hair is very long but I must have a style maintained.

A freind of mine who works for Escada found Todd Phillip through some models who she uses in her fashion shows.

All I have to say is it was quite an experience and the first time I have ever had my hair cut dry and I absolutely love,and I do mean love my new hair.

Todd was meticulous about each hair he cut with what I would call masterful artistry and gave me quite a beautiful blow-out.

What a relief and well worth the drive to Miami.
