She has had trouble finding someone to give her the cut she wanted, but Vale really delivered. She spent time consulting with my girl, taking the time to really understand what she was hoping for. She then delivered overall excellent service. She washed her hair and made her feel pampered. Then she did a beautiful cut that pleased even the pickiest little teen, lol. Lastly, she beautifully styled her natural curls. My daughter left really happy, which makes me very happy. Vale also started the appointment on time, which I really appreciated. My time is limited and I really appreciate when I feel my time is being valued and respected. She was very sweet and welcoming overall. They had water and little snacks available at the front, too, which was a cute and nice touch! Overall, a lovely experience here and we will return! :)

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!

I paid about $400 with tip. Great salon to get your hair transformed!

Unprofessional. My "stylist" Patricia after 11 years decides she no longer wants to do my hair. I…read moretried 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.

The last 6 months my hair felt too long to manage and I was super looking forward to cutting it! I had never been to "U Beauty Bar" before, but I was happy to get a next-day appointment with the talented Alejandra Sanchez (Instagram: @styledbyalejandra)! When I arrived for my appointment, the staff was friendly and offered me coffee. Alejandra was very welcoming, friendly, and listened to my requests. She gave me a balayage on my natural undyed hair and the results were amazing! She was very thorough and attentive to all of my questions throughout the process. Alejandra also made sure that I was comfortable and explained all the steps to me so I would know what to expect. The almost 6 hours that I spent with Alejandra were pleasant and my hair color came out even more vibrant than I had imagined! I would highly recommend Alejandra!

Highly recommend! I love the music and how clean the location was. 10/10.

The manager came by handing out these cute bags just because. It was nice and the prices were nice. My wash was about a 7/10 because she needed to get into my natural roots better, but the blow dry and flat iron brought the overall score back up to a five. I would go again because I love supporting local businesses and I believe my next experience will be even better. Check them out and enjoy!

Sadly, I had a bad experience. I arrived promptly at 2:30 one hour late as my appointment was at…read more1:30 and I had written it down incorrectly. I called them when I realized my mistake and they said come in anyway. She claimed no time for highlights, but I guess wanted to make money of some sort so instead of rescheduling, she did roots (made them red) and put a toner on my hair (which washed out!) Why not wait and do it right then? I should have NEVER been told to come on in. So instead of highlights, we decided to try to fix the yellow hair and she wanted to do color on my roots claiming she could tone down the red. Within one week, bright red roots and bright yellow hair- worse than before I came in. I even showed her a photo AND told her NO red and I wanted white blonde. After spending almost $200 - and no I didn't tip the owner.... in the sun my roots were on fire - bright red when I specifically said NO RED and the rest my blonde hair was back to being yellow.. When the leaving the salor the temporary toner had worked - TEMPORARILY! She didn't color correct, but rather put a temporary toner that washed out (I could have done that myself for $20.00) and I could have made my own roots bright red for about $10.00. For me a total waste of my money. She claims if I had just done highlights the red and yellow would have been handled. So why tell me to come in??? Unfortunately, I don't trust her, so I won't be going back. Basically spent almost $200 and a week later worse than what I came in with. I never did my own hair, only touched up roots. Sadly, I could have given myself red roots and kept my yellow hair.- which was given to me by a great hairdresser, who did a beautiful job for about 4 years and then one day, being too busy, he made it all yellow. Anyway, I've had great hairdressers, but this was not one of them. She is probably best for brown hair not blonde on non-latinas. For me a total waste of money. I did have a much better experience with the Miami beauty school. They matched my roots perfectly to my hair. No need to spend hundreds of dollars on hairdressers.

Five stars, no hesitation. Avant-Garde Salon & Spa feels…read morelike a small escape hatch from reality. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is calm, polished, and quietly confident. The staff actually listens. Not the nod-and-do-their-own-thing kind of listening, but real listening. My stylist took time to understand what I wanted, explained options clearly, and delivered a result that somehow looked effortless and intentional at the same time. The space is clean, modern, and relaxing without feeling cold or pretentious. Every detail feels considered, from the products they use to the way the appointment flows without feeling rushed. I walked out feeling refreshed, put-together, and already planning my next visit. If you want skill, professionalism, and results that make you do a double-take in the mirror later, Avant-Garde absolutely delivers. Highly recommend. ‍

I had a very disappointing experience at what is considered a high-end salon…read more Before booking my first appointment, I sent photos of my current hair and inspiration pictures to the stylist. I have an AirTouch technique in my hair, and since the salon does not offer AirTouch services, I wanted to confirm in advance that we could achieve a similar look using balayage or highlights. I was assured we could proceed. At the appointment, I waited a bit (which I understand happens in Miami). Once seated, the stylist examined my hair carefully and suggested doing a half head of highlights first to see how my fine, chemically damaged hair would react. I appreciated the caution and explained my previous negative experience with another stylist. When I left the salon, I was happy. The result wasn't identical to my inspiration photos, but I felt good about it. However, after washing my hair once, I noticed obvious orange foil spots and poorly blended areas near my ears. I immediately contacted the salon, and to their credit, they accommodated me the next day for a correction. Unfortunately, the solution offered was to darken my roots to cover the orange spots. This left me questioning why I paid $450 to lighten my roots, only to have them darkened again. Now, just a little over two weeks later, my hair already looks grown out because of the darker roots. For the price point and reputation of this salon, I expected better execution and a longer-lasting result. I truly wanted to love the experience, but overall, I'm very disappointed.

I have a horrific experience here and it alllll started when I called to book an appointment with a MASTER STYLIST and long behold I was placed with the lady who does nails and they were TRAINING to cut hair.

We are still somewhat new to the area, and I suddenly found myself in need of a gel pedi. After a…read morequick trusty Yelping of close highest rated salons, I landed here at QOD, highly rated with happy pedi customer reviews and less than a mile away! Pros: They greeted me and took me immediately as a walk in--yay! Though they are primarily Spanish speaking and I am sadly not, there was no issue with language barrier for getting what I want. I feel well understood. They sat me and quickly found a good gel color match. Everything that makes a pretty gel pedi look is possible. But... Cons: No posh massage chairs or designated pedi area at all. The technician will place a plastic non electric tub of water under the manicure desk and work with your feet placed to her chair under the table. It 's a no frills not particularly indulgent gel pedi. She briefly utilized a regular manual foot file/emory board to soften feet a little, but I totally miss the efficient electric files I'm used to! Note: NO SHADE on QOD and my nice nail tech Carolina is meant by these comments! End result is adequate and the price is commensurate for West Kendall Miami. However, since I only get a gel pedi every couple of months or so, I really prefer more of a special "spa" experience. It wasn't particularly enjoyable or relaxing at all. And no chit chat, since I don't speak enough Spanish. They do get the job done and "nailed the look" (haha), but I prefer a particular experience: foot massage, special comfy chairs, electric jacuzzi foot tubs, etc. I'm very willing to pay more for the experience! If you are into the look of your pedicure only, then it's fine. Still, I paid over $50 for a no frills gel pedi. Next month I may try a Groupon for a new place, until I find a match for me. I had high hopes, but this just isn't it.

Which is why I was SO (pleasantly) surprised that GHS was able to pencil me in for today. I mentioned to them that I had virgin hair, with no real style to it, and that I was looking to brighten up my look with some highlights & a new style. Being that it was my first time, I didn't have a stylist in mind, but once I mentioned to the receptionist that I wanted someone that really KNEW how to cut & style short (pixie-like) hair, she immediately recommended Gennaro. I walked into my appointment at 9:05 and there he was, waiting for me. I showed him my wish pics and he got to work right away. We hit it off right away & talked throughout my entire service. While under the dryer, he offered me coffee (which I accepted) and when he came back, he'd even brought me a bagel & cream cheese to go along with it. He styled my hair TO PERFECTION, and went above & beyond my "wish pic"! I am so incredibly happy to have trusted in him & can proudly say I have found my new hairdresser. Thank you GENNARO for your beautiful work of art! I have gotten TONS of compliments in just a couple of hours.
