Sayblee Darsale Salon

Not just BEST in natural hair but TOTAL hair care specialist

by TrishB08 at Citysearch

Born and raised in Miami, I moved away and came back from Tallahassee two years ago. While in Tallahassee, I decided to go natural but here in Miami I had the hardest time finding someone who knew about natural hair care. Imagine crying in the stylist chair because the lady wouldn't stop yanking your hair (in chunks) and listening to her talking under her breath about you needing to "just go get a perm." Let?s just say I think of Sayblee Darsale Salon as a BLESSING. From the first time I spoke to Ms. Sayblee on the phone, I could tell she was very professional. During the consultation, she asked me questions about my hair history, types of products I used, etc. She then examined my hair *noticing some of the hair loss I had from the lady yanking my hair* and also suggested how she could help ME. Since that initial meeting, I have visited her salon over twelve times. I like to vary my hairstyles quite often and Ms. Sayblee has the experience to handle all of my requests. Services I've experienced includes the shampoo & style of my natural hair using Ms. Jessie's products, to coloring without ammonia, to the double strand twists and full weave sew-ins. My hair has grown in length and thickness, and even better has not broken off around my edges (considering how often I go back and forth with the full head weaving.) The salon experience has been enhanced with the addition of the nail specialist; just sit down with her one time and you will understand. The customer service, an offering of water or tea, along with the spacing of appointments makes you feel as though you are a priority in Ms. Sayblee's chair. And yes the price of services may be on the high-end, but point blank you get what you pay for and what you are paying for at Sayblee Darsale Salon is quality service, in a relaxing environment, under the care of a licensed professional who has several different specialties and who truly cares about the overall treatment of you total hair care.

• Pros: Experience in salon
• Cons: Parking in Coconut Grove

Ms.Sayblee was very informative on many concerns & issues I had concerning my hair.With each hairdo, I receive many compliments which makes it well worth the price!! Upon every visit, I can look forward to being rejuvenated in such a clean,comfortable & relaxed atmosphere.My mani/pedi consist of genuine pampering,not having to worry about harsh or rush treatment. The VIP treatment I receive reflects their loving personality.

Great Products for MY Natural Hair

by yonbijou at Citysearch

I love the salon. Sayblee is a good stylist and knows how to care for my Natural African-American hair. She is professional, prompt and kind. I am a busy career woman; my time is very limited. I appreciate the fact that my time is not wasted when I am there.

Just as important, I LOVE the products she uses on my hair. It has taken me years to find products that work well on my hair. I have extremely dry hair. Before I would oil my hair in the morning and it would be dry by noon. Now, I only have to use the cream once a day. If I sit under a dryer with it, my hair will stay and look moist for at least 2 full days, sometimes 3. The products are kind of pricey, but you only need to use a small amount, which makes them last a while.

For me, this is huge because I finally have the person/products I need to help my hair grow to its fullest length.

• Pros: excellent service, clean, prompt,

Luxury without the hype

by ebizar at Citysearch

I happened to wander into the Sayblee Darsale Salon and could not have been happier with the outcome. Maria Campos, the fantastic Manicurist, took such good care of me. I've never felt so calm, relaxed, and truly cared for as a client in a salon setting. There is a sense of pride and soulfulness to this salon that simply cannot be put into words. Maria certainly took her time with me, perfecting my mani/pedi and pampering me with her high quality service and humble grace. Without question I would recommend this salon to anyone looking to rejuvenate their bodies and spirits in the Miami area.

• Pros: Extremely attentive staff, clean, warm, comforting & calm
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

So glad I found it!!

by Hayley27 at Citysearch

I moved to Miami a few months ago and couldnt find a hairdressers that not only cared about my hair but also wasnt over priced. I live in England and was lucky enough to have a hairdresser there who cared about my hair, was highly qualified, and wasnt just trying to get as much money out of me as possible. This seemed almost impossible to find in Miami, everywhere I went was either ridiculously over priced or if it wasnt then it was in the middle of nowhere and the hairdressers were not very good or very qualified. As soon as I went into Sayblee Darsale I knew i'd finally found the right place, the atmosphere was nice and friendly, Sayblee herself was lovely, the price was reasonable enough for the quality of service, and I could tell she really cared about her customers hair and their happiness. Most importantly she did a great job!!

I highly reccomend Sayblee Darsale Salon, if it wasnt for these reviews I would never have found Sayblee and I am sooooo happy I did!!

Where They Do My Kind of Hair

by JM80 at Citysearch

My first year in Miami (I've been around about ten), I walked into a salon and spa to enjoy a spa day with my finer haired college friends only to be told "We don't do your type of hair here." More frustrating and infuriating were the people who ATTEMPTED to do my hair resulting in ridiculous cranberry highlights, and barely achieved straightening (...a blowout for this natural hair with that round brush--surely you must be joking) that didn't last beyond the salon walls.

After years of having the same pinned up non-style because I decided not to let anyone but me get near my hair, I come across Sayblee Darsale--the first hair CARE specialist (not only a stylist, braider, or colorist)--who put her hands into my hair and knew what it needed. I trusted Sayblee and was finally able to get a natural hairstyle, not just natural hair. I chose double strand twists. While my high endurance lifestyle does not allow my hair to be entirely low maintenance, I am able to enjoy my hair now. It's so much more dynamic than I ever expected it to be. It moves when I move, yields to the whims of the wind, and complements my features and quirky personality; and it's growing noticeably thicker and longer.

Sayblee Darsale's Salon offers excellent customer service and features natural product lines along with Sayblee's own special conditioning blends. If it's not good for your hair, it won't be done. The salon offers a quiet, relaxed atmosphere and is well maintained. Natural hair styling can be a lengthy process, but Sayblee Darsale's gets patrons in the chair and out as fast as possible allowing them to take advantage of the Coconut Grove location within steps of yummy fare and great boutiques.

Whether you've always been natural or are just getting over the fear of it, Sayblee Darsale's Salon is an ideal place to discover that your hair is the hair you always wanted.

Great Salon in a great location

by Oliviamp at Citysearch

If you are a black woman and live in the Miami suburbs then you know that finding a salon is next to impossible. This place is located in the heart of Coconut Grove so what more could you want. The service is excellent and you can get your nails done during your hair service. It is a little pricier than the Broward County salons but it's worth it not to have to drive that far. Go in the morning, get your hair and nails done then go for lunch in the Grove.

• Pros: Ambience, services offered
• Cons: parking

Natural Hair stylist in Miami

by Picaluva at Citysearch

I've been searching for a Natural hair stylist in Miami for years. I found Miss. Sayblee when searching for Miss. Jessie's Curl Pudding. I got my thick, curly hair washed, deep conditioned and hot combed (yes, die hard fan) and can I say that my hair has never been this silky in my LIFE!! I even stepped out into the wind, walked a couple blocks to my office and was still turning heads when I got there.

Never in my life have I spent less then 8 hours at a salon for a wash and style and Miss. Sayblee had me in and out in 5 hours (that includes breaks for another client in the shop getting twists). So I know when I get my one-on-one appointment I could potentially be out in 3-4 hours and I will die when that day comes.

Thanks Sayblee!

• Pros: Time in and out, out come of my hair
• Cons: cost is pretty high and even more for me because of my length but still worth it!

Special Attention, Served up with Class...

by JennyB22 at Citysearch

I've been to many salons, and I must say this one --- specializing in MY HAIR, definitely has class. So clean you can eat off the floors, great customer service (I was offered coffee, tea or water) that's rare in some salons. LOL And most of all, I didn't have to waste my entire Saturday there due to overbooking. I came out of there looking great if I do say so myself. And Maria's manicures are to die for. They actually last at least 2 weeks!! Thanks Sayblee for running a salon with grace and style.

• Pros: clean, customer service, Miss JESSIE PRODUCTS!!!
• Cons: location is great if in Miami, but I live pretty far north
