Dianne's Impressions Salon

The look of the salon may be dated and cluttered but as the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover. If you head over, settle down in Cori's chair.

Luis Vivas Hair Studio

Copy Link
Luis Vivas has over 22 years of experience cutting and styling hair and, according to some, he's the master of the ombre. His eponymous salon is located inside The Alexander Hotel and the prices aren't too shabby. Obviously, his skills and brevity will cost you a bit more than if you went to anyone else in the salon, however at $70 for single process color with him, we're going to say hurray. [Photo: Yelp]

Bleach is the kind of salon you go to when you're ready for a change- an asymmetrical, bleached blonde, blue-tipped change. It was Miami Magazine's reader's choice winner for best salon this year and its color stylists, Rachel, Steph and Elle, are masters at creative color. Oh, and if you're in need of a cocktail, trek over to the salon's libation and entertainment outpost, Addiction Beer and Wine. [Photo: Bleach Hair Addiction]

Color, cuts, fresh shaves, skincare- what can't the team do at Junior & Hatter? If you go for color, ask for Aly Shea, who's practically Picasso with the tint brush.

Gustavo Briand Studio

When you're due for some pampering, why not hog all the attention? There are but a handful of chairs and stylists within this salon, which means that you won't get lost in a sea of blow dryers and other clients. Gustavo himself teaches cutting and styling around the world, so you can rest assured you're in good hands, whether you're lightening up or darkening down. [Photo: Social Miami]

Sean Donaldson Hair

Copy Link
As a stylist, you either cut hair at Sean Donaldson, or you color it; there's no such thing as both. That means the focus on the hue of your strands is 100 percent there, whether you want a Bayalage effect or a full head of highlights. Much of the staff previously hailed from well-to-do salons like Vidal Sassoon and Toni & Guy, and everyone participates in bi-weekly, in-house training events, so you can be sure that both your cut and color will be spot on.
