I've recently relocated to Miami from London. Everyone who has made any move knows the trauma involved with finding a new hair guru. I've had my share of misses since arriving - but I was pleasantly surprised when i found the Luis Vivas salon!! First - it's a great reception. Paloma was welcoming despite me having to cancel once before. The salon itself is more boutique than bling.....but so is the attitude. you feel like a welcomed guest -- no third rate wanna be model sitting on the front desk throwing me attitude because i had the nerve to actually want my hair done. And Luis himself is a master. He's soft spoken and subtle -- but he can be - because his work speaks for itself! He's the kind of professional who knows how to bring out the best in you. I didn't need to walk in with a picture of some starlet or trendy cut. without ever having met me before, he NAILED my color and cut the very first time. I've had my hair done all over the world - London, Paris, Rome, Dubai - so I can tell you - Luis is WORLD CLASS the best review i can give him is to say my hair no longer belongs to me. It belongs to Luis -- and it is in VERY good hands. No need to look further, my personal search for a guru is complete read more

Luis is the BEST!!! I have thick, long blonde hair which requires color every 5-7 weeks. I have worked in the modeling and beauty industry and so my standards of care are high. I have tried all the "top" salons in the Miami area, all the "names" and I have always been pretty happy with the results if not thrilled with the prices. Luis is not only a master at what he does, he truly cares about the condition of hair. The prices are the most reasonable I have found anywhere for the same processes. The staff are friendly and helpful and Judy at the front desk is attentive and accommodating. Luis has the calm, reassuring personality I like in a stylist, I always enjoy my time with him. The location of the salon at The Alexander hotel may mislead you to think this is a "typical" hotel salon, usually associated with transient service levels, it is not. Luis is long established in Miami with a regular and loyal clientele who I understand will follow him anywhere. As will I. read more

I have been in Miami for just over a year having been with the salon in my previous city for nearly 10 years. As many people know, you get very comfortable with somebody that "knows" what you like and its difficult to trust someone new. My wife was a client and recommended I try Luis and he has been nothing but fantastic with my hair and also in making me feel comfortable and confident he understands my quirks and the specifics I had gotten used to with my old stylist. Although I work corporate and wear a suit to work, I also like to think I'm current, sophisticated, progressive and fashionable when it comes to styles and trends. Luis knows exactly how to balance interesting and stylish with a smart, professional look so I can impress the boss/clients while at the same time dazzle the social scene/crowds. I would highly recommend this salon for anyone looking for outstanding, experienced, talented work, skill, professionalism, commitment and service. read more

Best hairdresser ever. I´m so happy I just discovered this place. Everything was absolutely perfect. The receptionist was really nice and offered me a cup of coffee, te or whatever I wanted as soon as I entered; two other workers came to ask me if I needed something while I was waiting ( I arrived 15 mins earlier). The design of the place, the light, the smell, absolutely everything was charming. And finally, the best... Luis. He's brilliant. He really has a talent in his hands and also in his mind because he really understood what I was looking for my hair and he recommended me a product that is working really good to my hair. I can´t be more thankful to him. I hope him not to leave Miami. He´s gonna be definitely my hairdresser forever. read more

I have been coming to Luis for over 10 years and absolutely recommend this salon. He does an amazing job on color and style. I had shorter hair for years and have always been thrilled with the cut & color, always receiving compliments on & being asked who had done my hair. Occasionally I would ask Luis his suggestion for something new and I have never been disappointed. Recently, I have been trying to transition from short to longer hair for several months & Luis has consistently cut my hair in a style to make this transition a breeze! He is the best! I also have to compliment all of the staff who are always extremely welcoming, professional & accommodating. My husband is also now a fan but I will let him write his own review:). read more

Five Stars beginning with my initial phone call where it was handled with grace and extreme competency, to the confirmations and follow up phone call (Ray throughout) all preceding my appointment; the welcoming greeting and pampering upon arrival by the support staff and the attention, detail, time and expertise of Luis Vivas made this an absolute SCORE, and still it wasn't over, Jenny blew out my hair and did a fabulous job as well. My services with Luis Vivas were Color Correction, Darkening my Base, Low Lights, High Lights and a Trim. I am thrilled with the results, I found him after a year of researching Color Specialists. Congratulations and thank you Luis Vivas and the Hair Studio and Day Spa Staff you are SPECTACULAR! read more

I found Luis after another salon had burnt my hair pretty bad with bleach, it was frizzy and a mess. Luis was able to fix, repair and re-beautify my blonde hair. That was 5 years ago and I've been loyal to Luis ever since. Won't you won't find at this salon are pretentious people or inflated prices. You will get the same service no matter who you are or how much money you do or don't have. You will find years of experience, an honest owner whom is loved by everyone that works for him. Mario does amazing blowouts too and Judy who books the appointments is super sweet. Luis does amazing cuts and beautiful color treatments. I drive from Doral to N Miami Beach and I wouldn't have it any other way. read more

I only have great things to say about this salon and the people working there. I had horrible bleached hair with awful grow-out and dark roots that desperately needed to be fixed. I scheduled an appointment with Luis after hearing only amazing reviews about his work and man am I glad that I did! I have been dying my hair for many years and this is by far the happiest I have ever been with the results. He did an amazing job with a balayage and I now feel like my confidence has been restored. I felt pampered and cared for by each person that worked at the salon and I will definitely be going back for anything else hair related. I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

Luis is such an awesome professional that I had to write another review. I have been to very fancy places, both here and overseas and I have never found someone that can cut hair as well as he does. Of course he is equally amazing with color but the cut has been always a problem to me, as I am extremely picky because I hate blowdrying and like to wash and go. For that, the hair has to be extremely well cut but he always outdoes himself. One more time, I leave feeling so grateful and so very happy I found him. I have been butchered so many times that I feel I owe it to other women to share that this guy is AWESOME!!! You will not regret trusting him with your hair. read more

I've been a client of Luis and Mario for quite a few years now. I recently got my tips cut by Luis, as I only allow him to cut my hair. extremely talented at his craft, he perfectly trims my layers, creating full volume to my tresses. Thereafter, I got the perfect blowout by Mario,he's been keeping my Mane Lustrous for years, as I'm Latina I and Love Sexy Bouncy Hair. The Perfect duo Hairdressers in my opinion. So happy I found them when I relocated here in Miami, as I'm a picky New Yorker and very particular of who Tames my Hair. This is the reason why I'm posting a review. Hopefully I can help those in need to finding the Right Hair salon. read more

I must say that the experience with Luis Vivas was great from beginning to end. I appreciated that they accommodated to help celebrate my daughter Sweet Sixteen with her and her cousins. The package deal was affordable and the service was outstanding. My girls said this was the best part of their weekend by getting a Swedish massage and a facial. I must say Ray you were a pleasure to work with. I would love to come back again and have a spa treatment myself. Again thank you all for making my daughter Sweet Sixteen weekend special they were totally siked!! read more

I recently moved to Miami from New York City where i got my hair cut on Madison Avenue.. I tried a few different salons in Miami before I found Luis. I can tell you that Luis and his team can go head to head with any NYC salon. I have been extremely satisfied with every thing from cut to color to straightening. And everyone at the salon is so friendly.....that's one thing you won't find in NYC. One other thing...people give me compliments on how my hair looks....that never happened before I went to Luis. read more

I had the best experience ever at Luis Viva Hair Studio! We were running late because we are from out of town, but the salon still accommodated me despite his busy schedule. We are going to a wedding and I wanted to cut off all my hair and get a cute new updated due! I got the best, cutest A-line cut ever and they donated my hair for me! I love Luis and he did a better job than I could've ever asked for!!!! Love love love this salon and can't even give it a high enough rating! read more

Hoy vine por primera vez para hacerme masajes deep tissue y me atendió Ale, los masajes estuvieron excelente y súper buena la atención. Luego me anime en hacerme el tinte de cabello (específicamente balayage) mi cabello es súper fino y tenía temor decolorarlo pero tuve la suerte de conocer a Jenny, excelente estilista mi cabello quedó como nunca antes, sano y hermoso, súper feliz con todos los servicios. La amabilidad, local, decoración, profesionalismo Lo súper recomiendo read more

Simply put, my hair has never looked better than it has since I started having Luis Vivas cut and color it. When I came here for the first time over 3 years ago, I left the color choice and the style up to him. I was blown away when I saw how good I looked when he was done, and I haven't let anyone else touch my hair since. If you want to look your best, put yourself in Luis's hands. read more
