She soaked my entire back while washing my hair, and at that point I already knew this appointment was going to be a mess. When she asked how I wanted my blow dry, I clearly said straight. Instead, she blow dried my hair in huge sections, overheated my roots, and burned me several times. By the end, my hair looked wild and unfinished. When she asked if I wanted spray, I told her no, I wanted it flat ironed because the blow dry looked terrible. During the flat ironing, she aggressively pulled large chunks of my hair at a time. I finally told her to stop because it was painful and my hair still looked bad. She immediately became angry and started using body language and gestures that basically said, "get out of here." The front desk staff was not helpful beyond giving a quick apology. They offered for me to come back another day, but honestly this appointment was important for me and now I'm left embarrassed and needing to keep my head down for the next few days because of how bad my hair looks. The customer service here was terrible, and the worst part is they still charged me after I left with my hair looking unfinished. Very disappointing experience.

My hair and makeup turned out insanely gorgeous--exactly what I had hoped for and more--and I received so many compliments on how perfect everything looked. It also held up flawlessly the entire night, which was so important to me. My bridesmaids and family members were beyond happy with their hair and makeup as well. The entire process was seamless from start to finish. Gabby and Sophie were always so helpful and responsive when answering my questions, and they were flexible with my schedule so I didn't have to wake up too early on the wedding day.

No inspo was ever sent to me and I was told that she would be the one assigned to me on the day of my wedding. I was not impressed with my hair trial. It was not even close to the pictures that I sent over. At the end of the day, the curls fell out... all I did was work from home that day and avoided the outdoors or extraneous activities. She seemed inexperienced, but was kind. She told me she would send over pictures that she took, but never did. The response I received back from Gabby after providing my honest and transparent feedback was surprising and disappointing. She was backing up her stylist more than anything and had never even seen my hair. I was so turned off and it made me feel unhappy and not excited after knowing that my trial did not surpass my expectations and made me realize that this is not what I wanted for the day of my wedding. I went with another company and was SO pleased and the woman nailed it! Not everyone is perfect, but I highly recommend a trial because I was not even planning on a trial to begin with.

I am updating my review after a year and 12 treatments with Dio at Bellafe. Dio is the real deal…read moreand it has been the best investment in myself outside of the gym to visit her every 4-6 weeks. As someone who is 37 years old and has never done botox/filler, preventative skincare is something I value to keep myself looking young in a city like Miami. When I first started visiting Dio, my biggest concerns were my skin texture, redness, and the visibility of my pores. Over the last year Dio has really transformed my skin - we alternate from doing either the into the glow brightening facial, the hydrafacial, or the purifying depending on my skin's needs. Since we started, I have also always added the microcurrent, which is a non-surgical facelift that uses low-level electrical current to make your face look snattttched. It also helps with collagen and sun damage which is really essential in the Miami sun. Another focus area for me was my décolleté. Growing up my mom always told me that the first signs of aging were a woman's hands and neck, and I truly regret all those days without sunscreen in my youth. When I mentioned this to Dio she told me about her chest Anti-aging facial which is the best $35 add on ever - since starting those last summer my skin has way less crepiness and discoloration. A year into consistent treatments and I see that my skin is way smoother, a lot less red, more hydrated, and my pores are a lot smaller appearing. I also notice a difference in how I feel without putting makeup on, since my skin looks healthy and hydrated without it. Dio also sells high-quality skincare items which I have adopted into my routine for at-home skincare. I trust her so much when it comes to products and recommendations because she really wants the best skin for her clients - not what is going to be the priciest spend for them. In a beauty-forward city like Miami where a good facial can cost you as much as a car payment, Dio is extremely affordable. She has a wealth of experience and is constantly learning new techniques and trends to make sure she has the best options for her clients. Also - if you look at her skin, you will see that she is the best billboard for her services because she looks incredible! She's also a total girls' girl and sweetheart. If you are looking to invest in yourself and glow from the inside out - could not recommend Dio more. She will get to know your skin an really make you shine. She also offers make up services and brows, too! Last summer after a wild trip to Spain I also tried her Hangover treatment - which was a lymphatic treatment that was the best detox ever in a infared blanket for 75 minutes. Definitely helps you get those toxins out and feel amazing. It comes with a microcurrent which is awesome to make you feel snatched from head to toe. Long story extremely long - book a visit to Bellafe, you won't be sorry!

I am writing this review with a lot of hesitation. Not because Dio isn't the best thing that's ever…read morehappened to my face but because I know she's Miami's best kept skin care secret, nestled in a Coral Gables beauty suite mall . Her customer service is outstanding (I don't have to call to make an appointment and can do it online? Count me in). She guides you through every step of the process and provides you with realistic expectations and follow up care. She gives you the option of a "play by play" or a silent treatment. As someone who's skin care routine is (was!) nonexistent, I opted for the commentary. It comforting to hear what she's doing, how it should feel and what's happening. Hearing that the tingling is normal, that the gentle zapping is disinfecting your pores and that extractions suck no matter which way you do it made the process less intimidating. I never felt judged by my lack of skincare knowledge and motivated to make this a consistent routine. She sent me home with products she knew would make a good "started pack" instead of a ton of stuff that would sit unused after a few days because it was too much too soon. Baby steps for baby soft skin. The difference in the texture, tone and facial "shape" is so noticeable that my only regret is not taking before pictures! I am glowing and so happy I found her.

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.
