Unprofessional. My "stylist" Patricia after 11 years decides she no longer wants to do my hair. I tried to get an explanation as to why. She wouldn't answer my texts. She wouldn't see me in person. She called from the salon late in afternoon. It was very noisy in background and she was speaking FAST. I could only hear something about negativity. I have moderate to severe hearing loss coupled with severe tinnitus. She wouldn't let me say anything as she spoke so fast. I managed to ask her not to put words in my mouth, which she rejected and kept uttering words I could barely hear. I had wanted to originally speak to her about the color of my hair she did a full hilight on. There was no way she would speak to me. When I asked her if she would see me one last time, she said she didn't want to "touch my head" I have never complained about her in 11 years. I've been going to her every 7or 8 weeks consistently. I even wrote the owner of the salon Taryn. Her response back was only that she has the right to choose who she wants to service. I get that. She neglected to address that I couldn't hear/understand WHY?! Very unprofessional in my opinion. Thankfully I have found someone who actually gave my hair some style, nice color and way less expensive. I had no idea my type of hair could be styled in any other way than she had for all those years. My new stylist has 30 years of experience, so maybe that's what made the difference. This unprofessional "break up" was a blessing in disguise. read more

This will be my third time getting my color done with Taryn and I can confirm that she NEVER disappoints! Great service from start to finish. Everyone was extremely friendly! I waited for about two minutes then was seated at the chair where Taryn asked me about what I wanted. I showed her pictures for reference and she gave me her input. After consulting, she got to work! We did a red balayage, cut & blow dry. See video for hair transformation!! They made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way and in the end I loved my results!! Price is average. I paid about $400 with tip. Great salon to get your hair transformed! read more

The service here is so amazing! I've been here a few times with another stylist who had left but booked an appointment with Patricia. She did not disappoint! She was so nice and took the time to listen my ideas for a new style. I loved the way it came out but what I loved most is how she listened to me and took the time to give me a beautiful new look! read more

Honestly, I waited a few months before writing this review because I am empathetic and never want to just slander a business, however, the service I was given left my hair in shambles for ages (and still to this day I have bleach damage and color fading in chunks. I was charged about $150 for some blue money pieces (not bad) and I left a nice tip of course, but only a day later, was told by two people out in public that I had orange in the back of my hair. To my surprise, a photo was taken of the back of my head and a HUGE bleed out of bleach was left all over the back of my head. Considering my hair was dried, I find it odd this huge bleed-out was not noticed... By the way: I was left with very greasy hair leaving the salon hair since they don't apparently wash for vivids) (odd because other salons have always washed my hair and left it super clean before I left) and needed to use dry shampoo for days. I called to let them know what happened and was not offered an appointment for over a week. Seriously? So I have to walk around with orange bleach-stained hair for a week? I also sent a dm with the images and received no response. I ended up canceling my correction appointment because of pure fear my hair would be messed up again. I did my first wash in a week and guess what, the color fell out. Another salon had to redo it right after my appointment including added bleach on unevenly bleaches strands to get the color right. The color faded before I even washed it the first time. To this day, the strands done by this place are fried, not to mention I noticed my hair super brittle and fried during the appointment brush out. Truly so sad this happened to me, I was offered no refund and instead have spent months trying to correct the damage. Please do not go here if you want to leave with lasting, good-quality locks. It's so upsetting what happened to me and I would not wish it on anyone. I'd rather spend more for good quality and long-lasting color at a trusted place. Also, as my appointment finished, I was rushed out as the 6pm appointment walked in so I felt quite rushed :( read more

Came here to get my hair cut and styled and it was just okay. When spending over $100 it should have been much better than okay. Patricia did my hair and anything I asked for was met with resistance and shot down. I also asked for my curls to be pinned up so I could take them out right before my event to ensure my curls lasted and that request was also denied. She wanted to do the same old thing she always does even though that is not what I was asking for or wanting. Blow dry was not good. Salon seems to cater to an older clientele so if you are looking for modern on trend hair styling this probably is not the place for you. I won't be back. read more

I've been going to Edward James Aveda Salon for five years now and it has been my saving grace! Patricia G. Has helped me through some rough hair times, introduced me to products that fit my hair needs and even treatments that have made my hair stronger and healthier than ever! I used to be afraid of keratin but, I knew I could trust Patricia and all the amazing products they use at this salon. My hair is very frizzy, curly by the roots and wouldn't grow past my shoulders. With the Aveda products and Patricia's expertise, now my hair is wayyyy longer than I've ever had it's soooo healthy, I love it! I highly recommend Patricia. She really listens to you, she knows her stuff and is always advancing her hair knowledge and techniques by taking all these additional trainings. I really love everything this salon has to offer starting with the products that have totally revamped the condition of my hair and ending with the people, everyone is always willing to help you with any questions you have and cater to your hair needs! Love Edward James Salon, I'm definitely a lifer!! Check out my before and after pics. read more

I've been going to Edward James salon for 10+ years and specifically seeing Patricia for 7 years. Patricia is always welcoming and tailors my hair to my needs at that moment - an event, a color touch up, or just some layers to switch it up. The entire staff is polite and they keep the salon tidy and professional. I couldn't recommend Patricia and the Edward James team enough! read more

I was really happy with my experience. My hair was dyed too dark a few weeks ago. Hesitant yet desperate to find a new option, I ventured to this salon. Patricia gave me a hair treatment and a consult. I actually learned more about my hair during this consultation than all the years I have been going to salons. Incredibly pleased with all her recommendations. Parking is tight if you go on the weekends. read more

The place is impeccable and the diligence they have with taking precautions to keep customers as safe as possible is commendable. I felt very comfortable there. I went in for a root touch up, trim and balayage with Patricia. She was amazing and her master skills speak volumes as well as her thorough knowledge of what I wanted. I simply showed her a pic of the color I wanted to achieve and she delivered just that if not more. I highly recommend. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. read more

I am new to Miami area but have been long-term Aveda user. So I choose to go to Edwards James Salon twice. However, I doubt they use real product from Aveda since the smell was too strong from what I have been used too. On asking for clarification from the stylist if she was using the right product, she basically thrust the color to my nose saying it does not smell !! I stopped going there after that. read more

Awesome experience with Arlene! Hadn't been to Aveda in several years, but was in need of a new stylist and decided to return back. Everyone at the salon was friendly and polite and the service was impeccable. Will definitely return again for future services. Highly recommended! read more

I have found my forever salon!!!! I recently moved and was looking for a place near me. I searched and researched and found this GEM! I called and immediately fell in love. The young lady who answered the phone was super sweet and polite. After a few questions to find out what I wanted , she set me up with Yanet. I came in for my appointment, nervous and anxious. I haven't professionally cut or colored in quit awhile. Yanet listened and quickly knew what I wanted and knew what went best with my face. I expressed that I would LOVE to go a funky color. (Everyone else told me that I couldn't reverse all the years of black color.) She seemed excited to try. We did a bleach test and it turned out great!!!! I loved her excitement!!!! I immediately made the earliest appointment to color my bottom locks. I can't wait!!! To end a long amazing story. Yanet is amazing. She listens and is totally patient. I have found my place!! I love the energy of this place. Very well run with happy people. Jorge is doing the right thing. Update to my previous review. How could it get better? It just did. Yanet is a Goddess and knows what she is doing. My hair turned out amazing and beyond my greatest expectations. I am so happy. Not only have I found my salon family but I have also found friends. This place is exactly what you need when you need it. Trust in them and they will guide you through your next journey. Thank you. PosItive love creates positive things. Xoxo. read more

I can't say it enough times: I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! best hair salon I have been to in my life! I recently discovered Aveda products and immediately noticed a huge difference in my hair, so I drove by this place and stopped because they carry Aveda. I loved the atmosphere, the energy , and every staff member I've met there. YANET, the hair stylist has been so patient, sweet, kind to help me with my hair! They genuinely help you to get the products that you need! I'm so grateful and so happy I've been recommending them to all my friends! read more

I received an e-mail from Edward James thanking me for participating in their Earth Month Cut-a-Thon this past Sunday. For $30 I got a haircut and had I had more time, my hair would've been blow-dried too! I was really impressed with the hair stylist I was assigned to. I believe her name is Patricia. She did the BEST hair consultation I have EVER had. And I've learned from Tabetha's Salon Takeover about consultations! She was so awesome I think Tabetha would've gave her an A!! She styled my hair so well! It looks exactly how she said it would look dry. She actually made it look better than the $75 cut I had gotten before! She asked me before hand how I wanted and of course made her own recommendations. She also offered advise on products and explained what each was for. Also told me which product she was putting in my hair while she was running her finger through my hair which so many stylists don't do. I told her some of my concerns or problem areas, lol and she had solutions and services that help. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other services she recommended. Thanks Patricia! You rocked! read more

Dianne did a great job with my hair. I wasn't really sure what I wanted going in but she worked with me to figure it out and it turned out great. Thank you Dianne! read more

I have been to the salon at least 10 times for color touch up and blow dry. I have never had a bad stylist. The front desk is always nice and professional, shampoo is great too.

I recommend this salon. read more

I have been going to this salon for years. Sayuri really does a great job, and knows what looks good on me, rather than just following what I want from the style books she has there. Every time after a visit, I get compliments on how good I look. Claudia the receptionist is great too. Even though I don't visit often, she greets me like an old friend. They offer you delicious tea, the place is very clean and once in a while you get emails for discounts. It's not easy to book an appointment though, call two weeks ahead of time! read more

I am terrified of salons because other than one hairdresser I had many years ago, it's always a disaster and I've resorted to just box dying my roots with dark brown because it's the only thing that covers my very very grey hair and letting it grow. But being super pale, dark brown hair makes me look like Morticia Adams. With salons, I've always gone in for consultations before as requested, sent and shown pics, and even so I've been given clown-orange roots, rust brass balayage, etc... ENTER ARLENE. I saw a picture of her work and thought she'd maybe be able to make something decent of the previous 2 attempts of balayage I had in the last 3 months which were not even presentable so I'd be able to attend my best friend's wedding without a hat on my head. She beyond exceeded and actually gave me my dream colour, not just a decent fix. She *truly* listens, and *wants* to listen, to what you want for your look to make you happy. I showed her the same pictures I showed the other two hairdressers, said all the same things - I wanted a very natural look - but she was the first one who genuinely listened and with her skill and patience she made it so my hair looks basically like a copy/paste of my reference photos. I have found my salon, I look forward to continuing with my own cuts and future needs and bringing along my mum for sure! read more

Arlene did a great job on my hair! I was a little worried at first that the color wasn't as light or warm as I wanted it but sure enough like she said, after washing it a couple times, it looks amazing! She did a great balayage on me and kept it nice and subtle. Such an improvement! All together the cut and balayage came out to 260$ read more

I went and did my hair today with Patricia and as usual I was very happy with the results. Something I appreciate with Patricia is how realistic she is. When you show her a picture of how you want your hair done, she explains to you how it would look on your hair type and helps come up with ways to ensure the best results. Every time I leave the salon I have learned something new about my hair and learned techniques on how to keep it healthy and beautiful. Today I went in for some coloring and a trim and I could not be happier. Patrica even helped me take pictures of the end results which is always appreciated. As a whole, Edward James salon has done an amazing job with making their customers feel safe during these times, with keeping masks mandatory and putting up dividers between the wash bowls. I cannot recommend enough. read more

Arlene, Arlene, Arlene! She's just amazing. I moved down from New York back in April 2020 due to Covid and was looking for a stylist. It had been a year since I got balayage done and I loved it so I was really scared I wouldn't find another stylist I liked. I read some reviews on Yelp and came across Edward James so decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did. The entire process was so great (making the Appt, the actual appointment, safety precautions, etc.). Arlene was so good (got balayage and cut) and I had a great time talking to her which is always nice when you're somewhere spending hours to get your hair done. Happy to say - I've found my place and my stylist! read more

I have been going to Edward James for 5 years with Patricia Garcia and couldn't be happier! From Day 1, she took the time to discuss my hair texture, styling and color needs etc. She is talented beyond belief and I trust her when she says to take a risk or that certain styles/colors won't work with my hair. Cynthia at the front desk always greets me with a smile and is accommodating with my appts. You couldn't ask for a friendlier place! Highly recommend! read more

I got balayage done by Arlene and it is absolutely perfect. I already had damaged hair, I've dyed it plenty of times before and I was worried I wasn't going to be able to go blonde. Arlene was careful and articulate, she got my hair exactly the blonde I wanted it to be without further hurting my already compromised hair. THANK YOU ARLENE! read more

Taryn is absolutely amazing. The whole salon is welcoming and nice. I have been visiting Taryn now for over a year of cuts and I could be happier.

When I first moved to the area I was very nervous about getting my hair done at just any salon. I have to say that this salon is among the best that I have been to and the customer service is amazing. They are truly a quality establishment. Yanet is the only person I trusted with my hair while I lived in Florida and miss her work so much! I have just moved to the LA area in CA and wish I could go back just for her to do my hair! She was extremely professional, thoughtful and asked about what your preferences were, had amazing attention to detail and made sure she used only the hugest equality product that did not damage my hair. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this salon AND YANET!! read more

I had really long hair and wanted to do a drastic cut and go short (about 5-6 inches of hair cut) so I went to Edward James salon and saw Arlene and let me tell you she is nothing short of AMAZING! Not only did she listen to what I wanted and gave me the perfect cut that I am just in love with, but, she also squeezed in some baby lights in the front of my hair to refresh my Balayage. She did such a great job with the cut and color that I will now be flying down to Miami (I live in NY) every time I need to refresh my cut and color! Thank you so much Arlene! PS - this is my second great experience at this salon! My first was with Taryn who is also really good! All around great staff at this salon! read more

Arlene is an amazing stylist and phenomenal colorist. She is knowledgeable and honest. I wanted to change my stubborn hair and do something drastic and she envisioned the same as I did and DELIVERED!

Looking forward to my next visit! read more

After reading all the fabulous reviews on this site, I thought I'd give it a try! And I'm glad I did. From the beginning, Claudia set the appointment with cheer and professionalism.

I used to go to a regular barber and after one visit with Patricia, I can't see myself going back to the barber shop. Besides the fact that everyone from the front desk to the assistants are friendly and always attentive to your needs, I've never received so many compliments on a hair cut. I had several different people ask me what I did different. My answer was, I went to Edward James and had Patty cut my hair. Patty is great...She helped me find a new styling gel that works excellent with my hair. If I need a last minute appointment she almost always finds a way to squeeze me in. Good bye barber read more

This is the best salon I have ever been to (and trust me I have been to many). I have been going to Edward James Salon for over 2 years now. The first time I went, I was worried it would be too expensive for my student budget since it is an Aveda salon, but its actually very affordable considering the quality and level of service you get. My stylist is Patricia and I only go to her. She makes my hair look so good I walk out of the salon feeling like a super model. She transforms my crazy fine curly hair into silky smooth tresses. My hair is really difficult to blow-dry and she makes it look like a walk in the park. My hair stays styled for about 3 days. The reason I only go to Patricia is because she understands my hair and takes into account my lifestyle. My hair is very curly and I am very low maintenance. Patricia knows just how to cut my hair to make styling easy for me at home. She is very knowledgable and even teaches me how to style my hair at home so my hair always looks its best between salon visits. I always get compliments on my hair both after salon visits and in between visits. People even ask me what hair products I use because my hair looks so healthy. I completely attribute this to Patricia's expertise and recommending the best products for my hair.. Products. Another thing I love about Patricia is that she is not pushy at all about selling Aveda products. She only recommends what she knows works and has even told me not to buy certain products she knows will not work on my hair. (On a side note: Aveda products have totally changed my life. I know the products can be pricy but a little bit goes a long way and your hair will thank you for it.) Salon. The salon itself is very beautiful and inviting. The decor is very clean, simple and modern. All the stylists maintain a very positive and professional work environment. The receptionist always greets you as soon as you walk in and offers you tea or coffee while you wait for your stylist. The wait time is not very long. I have never waited more than 5 minutes for Patricia despite the fact that she is always booked. read more
