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.

The hairdresser did not listen to my instructions for my haircut. She ended up doing what she…read morewanted. Since it was my first time with her I asked her not to cut off too much. I also requested that she leave enough hair over my ears so that my hearing aides wouldn't show. She cut off the entire length of my almost shoulder length hair, thinned it too. Then she cut the sides so much that my hearing aides are showing. It's been two weeks and I still hate it and her too. This the 2nd hairdresser I've tried at this salon. I will not be returning, EVER.

Have you ever walked into a salon and just seen all these private suites? Well this is exactly how…read morethis place is laid out. I loved it! Every suite is either private with just one hair dresser or nail tech or I saw up to three in one suite. It was so cool walking to find my suite as all the doors are like sliding glass doors so you can see inside each suite. When I finally found Belkis(suite 9) I loved how she's solo and the cute earthy decor she had going on (one wall is completely covered in fake Ivy). She has 2 chairs, a bench, and one chair with sink attached to wash your hair. I was seen within15 minutes of my appointment which was great because I ran about 5 minutes late. Belkis was well known because people kept stopping by to say hi, even other hairstylists. I had done the balayge (with someone else) months ago and it really damaged my hair. I had to cut over 3 inches off and was left with just blonde tips. I needed some serious hair therapy, a trim, and definitely dye. I'm not a fan of shoet hair for myself so I was very specific about trimming JUST the split ends (you know some hairstylists tend to get scissor happy) with Belkis I had no worries. She dyed my hair first, then did a conditioning treatment and whennit was time to teim my hair she showed me before picking up the scissors, how much needed to be cut. I was pleasantly surprised cause it wasn't that bad. After she blowdryed and then planchaed(flat iron my hair..I have alot of Dominican friends and 2 half Dominican sisters..they say plancha alot). When I was done I was estatic! My hair looked healthy,shiny, and just 1000 times better! Belkis was honest about hair care and how often I should trim my hair and no more bleaching and dyeing my hair, really overjoyed with my outcome (my hair desperately needed this TLC) so Thank you so much Belkis and see you in 2 months for the next trim!

Only refunded not even half. No accountability only excuses and making it seem as if I went home and started pulling my hair and some how this was my doing. Now left to get expensive treatments at another salon. Quality not worth the price tag. And Buyer Beware!!! The platform she uses for the booking process (GlossGenius) let's stylists remove any negative reviews from being visible to the public, not showing up for anyone to see. And by doing so to the review, it also hides the low rating she would normally have. So if you notice her rating, she has 5 stars across the board because the only reviews she makes public are the 5 star ratings. This is known as review suppression or review manipulation which in an incredibly deceptive practice. I will never be booking another stylist who uses this platform again for this specific reason. If you can't read their reviews on Yelp or on Google reviews (which she doesn't have) and only show reviews on smaller booking platforms then the reviews shouldn't be trusted. Bigger sites like Yelp or Google do not allow for these deceptive practices.

She was very sweet and when I mentioned I…read morewanted a price list on their hair services she immediately got the owner Pam who took the time to explain their services and prices (which can also be found online). Pam was even nice enough to offer to squeeze me in that same day despite them being very obviously busy. I opted to come back the next day with an appointment. (Side note: one of my nails didn't dry properly and looked kind of funny, thankfully Denise fixed it the following day without any hesitation and at no additional cost which was nice!) I just did my color with Anastacia who was amazing. I was a little apprehensive at first since I have a hard time trying new stylists, but she was great. She made sure to match my root color exactly to my existing color and was very sweet and funny. All the girls seem great, don't let their ages fool you, all of their customers had smiles on their faces and left with gorgeous hair so they must know what they're doing! The only downside is that they don't have much parking, so you may want to come early or else have to park by the Burger King or even the Walgreens. However, it's a small inconvenience since the services are great and their prices are reasonable. =)

The photos speak for themselves. The highlights were not placed correctly and were applied using…read moreoutdated techniques. The photos were taken the day after the service, yet the highlights already look as though they have grown out for months because they were not applied close to the scalp. I specifically asked for soft, blended, melted-in highlights to avoid harsh lines as my hair grows. I also clearly stated that I did not want chunky or streaky highlights and that I wanted a warm, golden blonde color. None of these requests were followed. Any way I part my hair it looks bad. I paid for full highlights, yet when I part my hair down the middle, there is only about one inch of chunky, streaky highlights with no color throughout the rest of my head. When my hair is pulled back, there is half an inch of untouched hair at the scalp with a harsh line where the highlights begin. When parted to the side, there is a single random streak behind my ear followed by several inches with no highlights at all. Instead of the golden blonde I requested, I received bleach blonde, almost white highlights. As a result, I now have to pay for professional color correction to fix the damage caused by this service.
