I just had my first haircut with the owner of this salon. I am so pleased with the results and the service offered. They have made a new client for life. read more

Makeover House offers a solid range of hair services, though it can feel a bit hit or miss. The staff are friendly and professional, but sometimes the wait can test your patience. Overall, it's a decent spot for a haircut or color, just don't expect anything too extraordinary. Clean environment and cozy vibe, so it does have its charms! read more

As a front desk receptionist, I would recommend that everyone comes here for a service that they need from either one of the hairdressers or nail techs. It is such a fancy place and the music is so relaxing and peaceful. For anyone who's looking for something to pamper themselves. This is the place! read more

I have been a client of Silvana's for over ten years. She is a brilliant colorist and always listens to me with regard to the look that I am trying to achieve. I also have curly hair, thus a proper haircut is key to achieving great waves. Her cuts never disappoint and my experiences are always positive. If you call and she is booked. . .don't worry, your time with Silvana will be worth the wait. She is talented, intelligent, and I will never go elsewhere. read more

I was in the market for a keratin treatment and they happened to be offering a promo so I decided to give this salon a try. I was honestly very disappointed with the result. The solution was extremely watery, as if it was diluted, and after the first wash there was not much difference to my hair (which has never been the case with this treatment). I would've appreciated knowing I was paying nearly $200 for what feels like a one time blow dry before committing to going there. I feel like they didn't use a good product because of the promotion, but I've essentially just over processed my hair for nothing. I'm super disappointed because they came highly recommended and I was hoping to find a solution for summer frizz. read more

Best color, cut and service!!! Can't say enough about Silvana and her team, the best!

I've been going to Make Over House for over 10 years. I've mostly gone for mani and pedi but over the last year I've been consistently going for color thanks to my exponentially growing gray hair. So I wanted to update my review. I've known everybody in this hair salon. There has been some changes to the staff. My last appointment was yesterday. I had 4 rings of colors varying from gray to dark brown to red hues to blondish honey color at the ends. There has been a very unfortunate loss in owner's life and I really hope writing this here doesn't upset her because I wanna make a point, sooo I didn't expect much perfection at all. I just wanted to get rid of my gray hair. She had her salon full as I was thinking to my self how she's even functioning. She was like a hawk over her new personnel making sure that every move they make, every brush or stroke they take is absolutely perfect, trained with attention to detail. She was jumping from one customer's hair to another making sure everything looks to her standards. I couldn't believe my eyes. She was timing everybody's hair process even though she had her staff taking care of them. She made sure she didn't miss one step. It's beyond me how she can accomplish all this with the state she's emotionally at. And when they washed and dried my hair, my gray hair was covered in perfection and let me tell you my gray hair is only at the front and at very very thin so it's really hard to cover as well as no ring anymore! No more multicolor I created by sometimes dying it my self because of being a mother of a toddler. I also never told her that I really wanted to keep some of the caramel gold color at the ends of my hair cause hey you can't get it all right but I had the most perfect strokes of caramel as if She highlighted my hair. So I wanna shout out to all women from here that if you wanna meet a warrior entrepreneur, a warrior mother, an amazing eye of an artist go meet with Silvanna because I feel privileged to know her not only as a business owner but also an excellent mother and a person. She truly got it all! Thank you! read more

I did some research (as I always do) and found this salon through this app and I couldnt agree more with the below reviews! I'm really happy with how Silvana did my hair she also gave me some really good tips for dry scalp and maintaining life to my hair. I already had a balayage but I wanted the top portion of my hair to blend with the blonde color I had towards the bottom of my hair (more of a sombre style). I prefer the more blended look. My original hairstylist (whom I also love) is always booked and I needed someone quick and this is why I came here. I'm EXTREMELY selective with who I let touch my hair but I'm happy with my choice and I would definitely recommend her. I'll be coming back again. read more

Makeover House - Beautifully blended thank u Silvana! - Hair Salons Near Me - South Miami, Florida

First, to counteract the negative reviews below, it is sad that in the city of Miami, such a huge melting pot of Hispanic cultures, there is such racism/ignorance that a person would stop going to a location where they can admit that the services are good based solely on the fact that there are Spanish speakers in the salon. So, my question to you, when you go to a nail salon where the majority are chinese, japanese, vietnamese or korean, do you call it quits simply because they are speaking in their native tongue and YOU cannot understand? Your ignorance saddens me and the fact that you feel the need to feel "special" speaks more on you than the salon itself. Anywho! Moving on to the important stuff, Silvana's salon is the greatest. I've been to many salons from Broward County down all the way south into Dade County and I have to say that I will not ever go to another stylist that isn't Silvana. Whether she's speaking English or Spanish, low or loud in your ear, she will tell you with all honesty how she feels, as a color professional, about your wants with your hair and what you really need. Honesty is the best policy, always, in my opinion especially if I'm going to be wearing it on my head every day. I have never left there with a less than perfect cut, color nor hair treatment. The manicurists are the sweetest and while they do take a little longer, they definitely do an almost perfect job. The prices can be a little high for hands and feet, however, the time and detail is definitely worth it. Disregard the negative reviews below and give this salon a try, I can assure you that you will not ever want to leave. Silvana and her team do everything in their power to accommodate time, pricing and their skills to meet your every need. You may not feel special in the sense that you have one person focusing solely on you, but I can say that I feel EXTREMELY special when I have the entire salon tending to my needs and engaging in conversation with me while I'm there and catering to me whatever my heart desires. Can't say I have anything negative to say about this salon. Love it, love it, LOVE IT :) read more

First time customer here. Called and made an appointing with Silvana who is also the owner and she was professional, sweet and extremely talented. I showed her the look I was trying to achieve and she was able to recreate it with a few of her suggestions which worked out perfectly. I had partial highlights done blending into ombré and the whole Process including blow dry was done in an hour and 30 minutes and an AWESOME job at that! Reasonably priced as well with a 20% to first time customers. They have gained another customer. read more

I cannot express enough how much I love this place!!! Silvana and her crew are the best! I've been to many salons and have never felt at home as I do at the makeover house (you feel like you're getting your hair done in your girlfriend's bedroom). Silvana is amazing!!! She's an expert at what she does, she'll do exactly what you ask but add her little flare to make you leave feeling like a rockstar :) I am so happy to have found this place! If you're looking for a salon where you'll get the best color, best cut and feel at home.... then don't walk but run to the makeover house! read more

Although they could use some updates equipment, everyone there was super nice and my gel mani and pedi came out perfect! Will definitely be returning! They have parking in garage above shop read more

Makeover House - They're perfectionists! Came out beautiful! - Hair Salons Near Me - South Miami, Florida

Highly recommend! Got my hair cut by Silvana. She is fab! She's a sweet heart and does exactly what you ask. All I wanted was a simple long layered cut and showed her pictures of how I usually style my hair and she cut it perfectly for me. The salon is small but everyone is so friendly and welcoming that you really feel right at home. Also, $35 for a cut and 20% for being a new client... I was beyond happy with my visit and will be returning. read more

Where do I start... I'm the type of person who has never been to a salon more than once (well, I was loyal to one until management changed) because I've never been satisfied with the work done at salons in Miami. I've had my fair share of burns with stylists who don't speak any English, stylists who speak English but are not listening to anything you say you want, and stylists who are just plain bad. I've never been to a salon where the stylist takes her time to explain why you shouldn't do something that will really damage your hair and explains another route to get the same results without killing your hair. Makeover House is a breeze of fresh air. Not only did they squeeze me and the 4 hours of services I needed into their Saturday schedule at the last minute, they did so with a smile - happy to help me envision a long term goal and happy to recommend options to get to that goal. She stripped the awful red out of my hair, sealed the ends, gave me natural looking highlights and lowlights (actually fixed a highlight that bled that I would NEVER have noticed), a beautiful base color, put a softening treatment, cut my hair, and blow dried it. Silvana is absolutely wonderful. A master colorist, she learned many tricks from her stylist mother. She keeps an eye on all guests at all times, doublechecking stylist work, refilling coffee and engaging you in one-on-one conversations so fluid and comfortable anyone around would think that you've been friends for years. Her assistant, Gigi, is absolutely great. Nubia is the goddess of nails. The team at Makeover House is unparalleled in Miami. Plus, they have AMAZING deals that change each month. April's deal is 20% off for first time guests and buy two, get one free hair products. GET YOURSELF TO MAKEOVER HOUSE NOW! I will NEVER go anywhere else to do my hair as long as I live in South Florida. Thank you ladies. I truly appreciate it and now love love love love love my hair. (: read more

Silvana is great! Very friendly and listens to what you want, and then gives you what you ask for. Will recommend and go back!

I searched Yelp and decided to trust the reviews and I'm so glad I did as my overall experience at Makeover House was fantastic!! The ease of making an appointment was impressive. I called a Friday afternoon and they gave me an appointment for the very next day. Upon arrival I waited maybe 5 minutes before Silvana asked me what I wanted and we began our little adventure. I normally have an idea of what I want and show it to the stylist and then give them full reign to tweak it, after all, they are the professionals (I know not everyone shares this thought and that's ok). She used Olaplex which is heaven in a bottle. After the highlights, she had 2 ladies from her team detangle my hair piece by piece at the same time. This was a tedious and semi long process since I have long thick hair and she had used a specific method for the highlights but it showed that she cares for the hair (probably more than me because I would've detangled it savagely). The color and cut came out great and I was beyond satisfied. The entire team was welcoming and friendly. It was a very relaxing atmosphere! As to the pricing, I found it to be within market range, not cheap but not ridiculously priced either. I don't mind paying for quality work. I will definitely return! read more

I found this salon via Yelp over a year ago, and since then, I will not change them for a thing. Silvana, Nuvia and Gigi are amazing people, and they will try to fit you in whenever possible. The work they do is excellent, they take their time to make it perfect. Very experienced staff and very friendly! I Highly recommend it :) read more

Amazing staff and quality! Silvana is by far the best color specialist in town! Best Mani and Pedi by Nubia! Will not go anywhere else in Miami. Worth every penny, trust me you will not be disappointed!!! read more

I am a perfectionist and extremely OCD when it comes to my nails. I am the type of anal person that breathes down the manicurist's neck to ensure that she is doing everything perfectly, that is until I met Nubia. She is the most amazing nail tech in South Florida, she is just as OCD as I am when it comes to doing nails and she always leaves them perfect, polished and extra shiny. I have done a regular mani with her and also the gel manicure and they are both equally impressive. I now go to do my nails relaxing and having an easy breezy conversation. Also the stylist Silvanna is a goddess when it comes to coloring and cutting. I used to have virgin hair and decided to try the ombre look. since I did it all I get are compliments (and my hair is healthy, she didn't burn my ends). read more

By far, the best colorist I've been to. Very professional and pleasant staff, making it a pleasure to keep coming back. I love that I don't leave with a stained forehead, as I have unfortunately experienced in the past at other salons. Like their Facebook page, they have monthly specials too. read more

Went here for the first time today based on the reviews I read on yelp and I'm so happy I did! I went in for a haircut, called at around 9.30 am and got an appointment for 1pm the same day. The whole staff was super welcoming and nice. Silvana cut my hair and she totally understood what I wanted. I left there feeling so happy I even recommended it to my mom who ended up going later for a haircut and color and loved it as well. Will definitely go back! So happy I found them! :) read more

I had the most horrible, traumatizing experience at this salon that I had to write a review to inform others so they don't make the same mistake I did by getting a haircut here. I have been going to this salon for 15 years for color and never had an issue since Silvana does a good job doing color. I decided to go in to do a haircut which was a huge, regrettable mistake. I have gotten a haircut from Silvana once many years ago that was also not that great, but I decided to try it again since she was skilled with color and thought she would do a better job on a cut this time. I came in with a picture of the style I had in mind and Silvana completely ruined my hair. I understand that it's not always possible to get the exact same haircut as in a picture, but what she did to my hair was completely unacceptable and beyond negligent. The picture I came in was a short style, but instead of looking at the details of the picture, Silvana took it upon herself to cut the majority off which left me looking very masculine. I told her while she was cutting that it was way too much, but she insisted that she was doing it the right way. I told her to please stop because it was not what I wanted and she proceeded to throw the scissors in front of my face and onto my lap yelling that she is doing it the right way. She left into another room screaming for me to just get up and leave. I left the salon after paying for the color that she did prior to the cut since I am an honest woman and don't accept anything for free. I do agree that Silvana does color decently, but she definitely is not capable of a styled cut. I was so upset when I left the salon, since I did not feel feminine and completely in shock. I had to then go to another salon where the stylist tried to blend in my uneven hair. He did the best he could do, but of course, this could have been prevented if Silvana was competent and listened to what I wanted or at least communicate if she was unable to do it. The hair on the back of my head is uncolored and the stylist who corrected my cut explained he was unable to do any highlights since it was so short and the highlights would not come out right. As a woman, when you go to the salon, you expect to leave feeling amazing, but I promise you that you will not feel this way after coming to Makeover House. Silvana is rude to her clients and doesn't deserve your business. As a businesswoman myself, I suggest Silvana to be more respectable to her clients and keep in mind that the customer is always right. (I included two photos of the cut I wanted and my hair right after I left the Makeover House. I have about 1 inch of hair on the back of my head.) read more

I called for a nail appt on Friday at noon for a 5pm appt. They were booked but made it work! Nubia did a phenomenal job on my mani/pedi! The entire process took about 1.5 hrs an I LOVED the care and attention she paid me! Nubia is extremely personable.....she is a master at her craft and takes pride in her work! I won't go anywhere else during my time in the 305! I HIGHLY recommend Nubia for your nail needs :-) read more

I have been going to this salon for about seven years and I wouldn't trade Silvana for any hairdresser. I have moved to the Northeast, back to Miami, and now to the Midwest for school and I have never found someone that knows color as well as she does. She considers your eye color, skin tone, hair thickness, and how much work you are willing to maintaining your color, and finds the perfect solution for you. It also helps that she is straight-forward and lets clients know if a certain haircut or color will not favor them; many a time clients are stubborn and insist on a look that frankly will not work for them, and that is where the negative reviews and experiences for this business come about. She really cares about her clients and wants them to look and feel their best. As a matter of fact, I went to New York about 6 years ago to go more blonde (I admit I cheated on Makeover House... BIG MISTAKE) and the results were an absolute disaster. The hairdresser dyed my hair dark brown 3 times to 'remove the existing highlights' then attempted to do balayage over it and left me with orange, patchy streaks. I came back to Miami crying and Silvana squeezed me in to her already packed schedule and worked her magic. She didn't have to spend 8+ hours that day fixing my hair and talking me through the process- but she did. It took about a year of keratin treatments, deep conditioning, and monthly haircuts to bring my hair back to its healthy, shiny state. And that hair care regimen was designed by Silvana. If that doesn't depict the kind of business Silvana and her team run, then I don't know what to tell you. I'll continue to fly to Miami from wherever I live, for her hair magic. She's THAT good. read more

Best Hair salon EVER. Intimate feel, the staff is friendly, & they treat everyone who enters as if you are family. They are welcoming and inviting, they make you feel at HOME. While providing top notch service. They order you lunch, make you coffee, and or serve you wine. I live in LA, I travel to Miami, and I see Silvana for my hair color & cuts. I have been coming to her for over 10 years. She is simply the best hair colorist and stylist. She uses top of the line beauty hair products, and is always up to speed with the latest fashion, trends and styles. When I return to LA, everyone compliments the way she does my Blonde, Ombre and or Balayage. Simply the BEST. LOVE HER and Her staff. Gigi does great blow drys, and Nubia is the best for Mani & Pedi. I highly recommend Makeover House. read more

I went here because of the reviews from yelp. I called on Tuesday for an appointment for the next day, very accommodating. I just needed a cut. New customers get 20% off so my cut ended up being $32 and that's without a blow dry. I wanted a blow dry but the price for a blow dry would have jumped to $60. I thought that would have been an expensive blow dry for having cut 5 inches off. Anywho! I really liked that I was in and out in a half hour. They have a rewards system so you can earn points/spots. When I say I didn't like, its really such an insignificant aspect but I didn't like looking for parking! I parked at the meter six quarters for an hour was a little much, courthouses are less expensive. When I went in I had asked where to park and they said free guest parking is on the 6th floor of the parking garage. read more

I have been coming here since I was about ten years old. With that said, I am 25 now! I have never had a bad hair cut, on the contrary, this is the only place where I cut my hair. I have tried different salons over the years, but no one does a great job like them. I have thin curly hair and they are the only people who can layer it correctly so I do not look like little bo peep or something like that. Everyone compliments me on my natural curls. This is a salon where you come in and you know you are in good hands, because there is nothing worse than being in a chair, having some stranger cut your hair, and anxiety as you sit in that chair, hoping that the hairdresser doesn't cut too much or cuts the wrong piece of hair. I have done highlights twice, and they have done a great job with that aswell. They made the highlights look natural and my hair did not friz or become damaged as a result. I will be going this week to get a mani/pedi and waxed, which they also do a fantastic job. My mani/pedi's last about two weeks, toes a litle longer than two weeks. That is a long time, considering I play guitar. read more

Came to the Makeover House today for the first time and met Silvana and her team. Everyone is absolutely lovely! The salon space is super cute, products are high quality, and the work was on point. I really appreciate how we discussed my hair goals, and came up with the best solution to lighten up my hair (and cover them greys!). It really came across how important keeping the hair beautiful and healthy is to her. I think I found my stylist - I can't wait to go back! read more

Makeover House - Best blonde highlights! - Hair Salons Near Me - South Miami, Florida

I LOVE this place. Silvana is amazing. She knows hair really well and always makes great suggestions!

I never write reviews but I have to take the time to say that I had the best mani/pedi at Makeover House recently. They have 2 amazing nail technicians to choose from, they are both great...Alina is their new girl that did my nails and I loved her! Nubia is fabulous as well but she's very busy ( good luck getting an appt. with her, I guess it's no secret how good she is) This review is about my nails but I can't end it without mentioning Silvana, the best colorist and hairdresser ever! No seriously, people stop me in the street, she is an artist...and she can't do it without the help of Gigi, an amazing talent. read more

I went to Makeover House on a whim. I'm so very thankful that I did. The location is very unassuming but the service is anything but that. I had a great experience with Silvana. Every single lady in there treated me as they had known me forever. Everyone was very kind and very accommodating; extremely knowledgable too. Thank you, you've gained a new customer! read more

Went here for the first time last Friday afternoon. The service is friendly and professional. It's a fun atmosphere and the owner is a sweetheart. I had the pleasure of having Alina give me a pedicure. She is a pro and quite frankly she left my feet looking the best they ever have. I'm sold on this place and will definitely return. read more

I have been going here for years. The entire staff is absolutely wonderful. Nubia is a true artist !!!
