The BEST colorist!!

by mountaingalORLANDO at Citysearch

This salon was great! I've only been once. I was on vacation in Miami a couple weeks ago and needed highlights so bad. I usually don't go to just anyone. I have blonde hair and I don't like to use bleach because it dries my hair out. Anyway, my friend reccommended I see Armin at Surme's. I took her advice and went in and could not be happier with my hair. Armin was so nice and listened to everything I said and did an even better job than the person I regularly see! I plan on going back to him whenever I'm in Miami.

• Pros: Expertise, attention to detail, communication

Worst experience at a salon!

by ashms116 at Citysearch

I went to Surme to have my eyebrows done. My appointment was with Marie. She was very nice when I got there, and kept saying how perfect my eyebrows looked. She tried to sell me a facial, a hair stylist and even someone she knew who was running for governor. I just wanted to go in and have my eyebrows done and leave, I didn't need sales pitch after sales pitch. Upon returning home, my father informed me that my brows were completely uneven (I wear glasses, so it's hard to tell how perfect they are when it's tough to see). I went back to have her fix them. I told her that my left brow was much thicker than the right. SHE STARTED PLUCKING THE RIGHT BROW!!!! I couldn't believe it. The woman then found other things that she hadn't finished when I came in the first time. She handed me the mirror, I took one look in it and almost burst into tears. My brows were completely different shapes. It was as if a blind person had done my brows. I really couldn't believe how bad a job she did. DO NOT GO TO SURME TO HAVE YOUR BROWS DONE BY MARIE! Save yourself the horror and go somewhere else.

By the way, I gave this one star because I had to rate it, but really, if there was an option I wouldn't have given any!

Yay I finally found my stylist

by extrtavagency at Citysearch

I decide on trying Armine based on the reviews I read here on citysearch. So I called and made an appointment with him and later on that week I went in to get my hair done. I decided on going all out with my hair, i told him to do whatever he wanted, mind you my hair was a mousy light brown. So he did like 2 different shades of Blonde on my hair leaving me looking so naturally highlighted and amazed with the results. Go see Armine at Surme you truly will be amazed like i was. Thank you Armine I will be back and my husband loves my hair too Armine.

• Pros: parking, salon, cuban coffee

Great Place for Hair Color/Styling With Armin

by panthersfighter at Citysearch

I have been going to Armin for more than 2 years every 6-7 weeks for a cut and highlights as needed. He is an artist and I have NEVER had a cut or color I didn't like. I only wished I had more friends who would travel to pinecrest cuz he's the one to do your hair.

He also has a great sense of humor so get ready for the laughs

• Pros: Great Staff, Beautiful facility.
• Cons: Saturdays are very busy

great massages and more

by fantasychick at Citysearch

I have been going to Surme for several months now -- always for their 60 minute swedish massage for $85. First off, the receptionist at Surme is AMAZING. She is always so courteous and makes you feel well taken care of. Case in point? I usually go there after work or during the day so I am always in work clothes with make up on. I have asked the receptionist to provide some make up remover / cleanser and they are always so willing to oblige.

Meg (massage therapist) works wonders. I don't think she knows how good she is, but her hands are amazing and always knows how to get those knots out. it's so easy to relax there. I only go on weekdays, however, so perhaps the weekends are a bit more crowded.

I have recently started to go to Armin for my haircuts. He's very sweet and has offered to trim my bangs between cuts for free.

Overall, you will feel very welcome and pampered at Surme. While waiting for my hair cut the other day I had 3 separate employees ask me if I needed anything (water, coffee, etc.).

• Pros: Great staff; very experienced massage therapist

Awesome styling!

by ccdd305 at Citysearch

Male--20 years old.

I've been serviced at Surme twice already and so far it's been wonderful!

Prior to Surme, I was a client at Avant Garde where I was a regular for my mohawks.

One day I couldn't make it to Avant Garde and gave in to the nearby Hair Cuttery, which did a horrible job on my cut--leaving it uneven on the top too long from the sides.

I needed a desperate fix for my uneven and very ugly cut!

After much reading and contemplation because of my previous experience, I gave in to Armin.

To make it simple, I have been styling my hair into mohawks for about three years and never before had I actually found a stylist that left me with a cut that virtually met all my expectations and needs.

The salon is very modern and resourceful but the Armin trully works magic.

• Pros: Free parking and it's across from The Falls! Hip, modern and stylish. Private appointments/time accomodation available.
• Cons: None

Overrated- don't be fooled!

by al489 at Citysearch

I recently went to Surme for a haircut, and based on all the positive reviews written about Armin, I decided to make an appointment with him. The entire time he was cutting my hair, he was on the phone or talking to other customers- paying attention to everyone except his client! The haircut was decent but nothing spectacular and definitely not worth the $75 I paid. And just a heads up to everyone reading the hundreds of reviews about Armin- after my haircut, he flat out ASKED me to post a positive review about him on here. Don't waste your time or money- find another salon unless you enjoy being ignored, overcharged, and unprofessional service.

Don't go there!!! Not Worth it!!!

by Beatriz100 at Citysearch

I don't mind paying $300+ to get my hair done but this place was so not worth it!!!

I can't believe how many good reviews this place is getting....i think the honest reviews are the ones of people complaining about this salon because there's nothing good to say about it.

-

First, the woman who washed my hair was pulling from it so hard that it hurts even after 9 hours since i left the salon. She also got my whole face and back wet!!! She wasn't even apologizing or saying anything when she scratched me or wet my face...she was just telling me not to move! As if it was my fault?!?! I think someone who is washing hair shouldn't have long sharpie nails!!!! It gross and so unprofessional!!!

-

Armin cut and colored my hair, he didn't do a bad job....but it wasn't to die for either...he kept talking on the phone and complaining about his morning...wasn't really paying full attention at what he was doing...he seemed nice but nice wasn't going to get my hair looking good!....he kept talking to everyone around and i saw his brushes falling and lying on the floor that had hair all over and he wanted to use them on me! ewwww i had to tell him not to otherwise he would have!!!

-

So while seating on his chair I was already thinking it was a huge mistake going there and of course knew i wouldn't be back but to my final surprise the receptionist told me I had to pay $300+.....and she even told me they are use to getting 20% tips!!! So unprofessional to ask to leave more tip and of course i left even less than I was suppose to!!!

-

So if you like professionals taking good care of your hair and feeling pampered....DON'T GO TO THIS PLACE!!!

• Pros: FREE PARKING
• Cons: EVERYONE IN THIS PLACE IS SO UNPROFESSIONAL!

BEST NAILS!!!!!!

by xoxoxoxo2 at Citysearch

Surme is very upscale, fabulous, stylish salon that I highly recommend. I have been coming to see Debbie for years and I absolutely love her! She always knows how to do my hands and feet, leaving them looking great for me! I love coming to the salon because I truly feel at home. The staff at Surme are always eager to help me and make my experience as relaxing as possible. I would NOT suggest any other salon besides Surme! What are you waiting for, call today and make your appointment you won't regret it.

• Pros: WONDERFUL STAFF, BEAUTIFUL SALON

Just okay...

by amor7677 at Citysearch

It was...OK. Armin colored and cut my hair, nothing to complain about - but I have long straight blonde hair that only requires some highlights and a trim, pretty hard to screw up. He was a nice guy, but was on his phone a lot of the time. The salon itself was nothing special, I've been to much nicer and more professional in Miami. The woman who washed my hair was unpleseant, to say the least. I was very surprised at the price after the fact, I even asked the receptionist again how much thinking I heard her wrong. I don't mind paying for a great color/cut with a fantastic stylist in a nice salon, but paying $300+ for an average job in an average salon is insane - I could have gone to the mall and got the same results for half the price. I feel like most of these reviews aren't honest customers of Armin, or the salon.

• Pros: Decent people, parking
• Cons: WAY TOO EXPENSIVE, not professional

ARMIN IS THE BEST COLORIST & STYLIST EVER!!!!!!!

by lollypop11 at Citysearch

I HAVE BEEN GOING TO ARMIN FOR MY HAIR FOR YEARS AND HE IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST COLORIST & STYLIST I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. I DONT EVEN HAVE TO TELL HIM WHAT TO DO, HE JUST KNOWS WHAT'S BEST. I ONCE MADE THE MISTAKE OF GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE IT WAS CLOSER AND THEY TOTALLY SCREWED UP MY HAIR. ARMIN WAS SO GREAT THAT HE WORKED ME IN THE NEXT DAY TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE!!!!! WHO DOES THAT??? THE SALON ITSELF IS AWESOME TOO! THEIR SPA TREATMENTS ARE THE BOMB AND I AM COMPLETELY HOOKED ON THE HAIR PRODUCTS. THEY'VE GOT ALL THE CANDY YOU COULD WANT...AND OF COURSE, MORE MAGAZINES THAN YOU COULD READ IN A YEAR!!!! EVERYONE THERE TREATS YOU LIKE FAMILY. EVEN WHEN CALLING TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT, THEY'RE INCREDIBLY HELPFUL. UNLIKE SOME PLACES I'VE GONE TO IN THE PAST. I know it's all caps, but that's because I feel so strongly about how great they are!

• Pros: Service, Skill, Ambiance, Goodies
• Cons:  400 miles away from me!
