THIS IS THE BEST HAIR SALON IN MIAMI. I say it like this because I'm a die hard fan of the Japanese Hair Straightening. I come from New York where you can get this treatment done at the corner of your home but after moving here to Miami it was nearly impossible to find a place that does it and does it right. I'm so happy I've found Alain!! He is there to save lives. Well he saved mine. He's expertly trained (specifically NY for the Japanese Hair Straightening *huge plus*) and he's also constantly learning new techniques. He is incredibly professional at what he does and he does it RIGHT. Not only the treatment but also other treatments as well i.e the Brazilian Blowout, he's also amazing with HAIRCUTS, blow dry, color, everything. He not only explains everything with detail he also preforms his work with detail. He genuinely CARES about you. He LISTENS because he's passionate about his career and he wants to make sure you're happy with his services. Hands down, the best in Miami. read more

Alain & Roxana are gems! Alain has such a "eye" for style and he does the most accurate haircuts in Miami. Both times I have gone with him it has been to fix something. First time I met him it was maybe a week or less before my wedding, I had almost my hair down to my bottom, my roots were a mess & it was the worst blonde color possible. We left the salon at 8 PM but he did an AMAZING job and totally saved my hair for my wedding. The second time, I myself thought I was a hairstylist and decided to cut my bangs, it was a disaster! I was able to score an appointment with him. I arrive to the salon and had the pleasure of meeting Roxana. She was super sweet & super knowledgeable. I had future plans of doing some face framing lights and she happened to mention it. So I was all game! Alain fixed my bangs & gave my hair dimension. Price was reasonable for the job well done. They are a total dream team! I strongly recommend them. read more

I have been a client of Alain's for several years now. He is a hair guru, an artist, a true professional. I was fortunate enough to have Alain do the Japanese hair treatment on my frizzy curly wavy unruly hair and it has truly changed my life in more ways than one. Miami's humid weather was my #1 enemy. I am now fearless! Everyday is an amazing hair day. I am constantly receiving compliments on my beautiful silky smooth hair that requires no maintenance. My iron is collecting dust. I recommend every Miami girl gets the Japanese hair treatment from Alain. Having beautiful hair 24/7 has boosted my confidence and allowed me to say yes to plans at a moments notice. My hair is always ready to go! Also, I have to say that the best thing about getting a haircut from Alain is that as it grows it looks even more gorgeous. Every strand and every layer just falls into place perfectly. I will follow Alain anywhere!!!! read more

I have curly frizzy hair and nothing gave me that straight sleek look. This is why I went in search of a studio that would do the Japanese hair straightening treatment. I watched some youtubers get this treatment in Tokyo with amazing results so I wondered if anyone in Miami did this. Luckily, I found Nero Lopez salon. Alain Lopez is highly skilled and has tons of experience with the Japanese hair straightening treatment. Ladies if you want straight frizz-free hair, go to Nero Lopez Salon and ask for Alain Lopez. My hair does not get frizzy and it dries straight. I do not have to blow dry it or flat iron it. I finally have my dream hair! I never believed I could achieve straight shiny smooth hair like in the magazine ads. Alain made this dream come true. Everyone compliments my hair and wonders where I had it done. I recommend everyone to go see Alain if they want to achieve straight hair. read more

The BEST Salon in town. I've been going every month over the past 3 years. Alain always done an amazing job, he is extremely knowledgeable and rather than just doing my hair color, he has a good idea of what I'm going for and is very receptive to the little details or changes I want to do. He helped come up with a plan for the long term with great recommendations that makes me look younger. The rest of the staff are also very accommodating and friendly. The moment you walk in they make you comfortable with a nice drink of choice. The location is convenient and easily accessible from the metro. In terms of decor, it's very modern and open, I also appreciate the natural lighting as it gives an accurate view of how your hair looks. Awesome vibe and great music. I never have problems making appointments and changing them if needed. Thank you Alain! ;) He is just Fantastic! Amazing experience. read more

Look no further. I am stuck on this hair dresser for years and I can't see myself going anywhere else! No one works on hair as well as Alain does. With my naturally curly hair, I took the jump and decided to get the Japanese Hair Straining, best decision I've ever made! He knows his stuff, well trained and does not let you leave until you look PERFECT. A great personality and extremely hospitable, Alain is very outgoing and super easy to talk to which makes the whole process enjoyable. Give him a style you want and he can work his magic with no hesitation. I don't do reviews, but it was an honor to give him 5 stars and I've recommended all of my friends to him. Great Job, Alain! read more

The best hair experience I've ever had! I live out of state and Alain worked with me for weeks to schedule an appointment. He is very responsive. I selected the Japanese straightening. I've had it before and this is the best result I've gotten. My hair is so soft and bouncy and straight! He did an amazing job! Everyone loves my hair! It looks so healthy and beautiful. He took his time and he is an expert at his craft. My friend is making a special trip from Alabama to see him based on how good he did my hair. His videos and pictures on Yelp and Instagram are a true representation of his magic. Once my hair grows out I am definitely going back to see him! Worth every penny! read more

Alain is the best in Miami! I have curly thick hair so it's difficult to find someone that can cut my hair. I've tried cutting it in many salons and the result is never exactly how I want it. However, Alain cuts it perfectly every time. He takes his time with each customer and caters to all your needs. He's truly the best. He's passionate about cutting your hair which is great and he recommends great hair products that have done wonders for me. If you don't know what style you want, just ask him and he'll pull out his books on all the different types of haircuts. Highly recommend him and I have already switched over half of my family to him:) read more

Simply great! Alain is beyond professional and not only is an exceptional stylist but a friend. His hard work and determination reflects on his work. Having years of experience, he's still constantly learning and applying new techniques. Taking classes at respected Institutes in New York every 6 month I can guarantee you you'll be in great hands. I've known Alain for more than a year now and I'm amazed each time by his results. I always get the Japanese hair straightening and the final product is always flawless. I've done it at different places in Miami and nothing compares his style. As organic as it can be. Do it! You'll love him. read more

Where to start. I've been going to Alain Lopez for the past 3 years. There's a couple of reasons why I'd follow Alain anywhere but the one that sticks out the most is he truly cares about hair! My hair is not the easiest to manage but the way he's approached and taken care of my hair it looks healthier than ever! Alain does a serious fade and as well manages my Japanese straightening every 3 months. If you're looking for someone to professionally look after your hair, I set an appt with Alain Lopez and thank me later! FYI: I've referred about 8 customers who still go back to him and would back up everything written here. read more

I moved to Miami in 2013 I have tried many hair stylists around Sunset, Coconut Grove and Brickell area and I wasn't really happy nor satisfied until I met Alain Lopez who has been my stylist since 2015. He is amazing, very professional, neat in his work, very focused in details, you get nurture by him and his assistants, also he is extremely talent guy, and always on top of new trends and innovations, very up to date professionally since he takes time to travel and get what is there in vogue. I'm so happy to have a tremendous talented guy taking care of my hair I couldn't be happier, and it's prices are very reasonable. read more

Highly recommend Alain for Japanese straightening! I just had my 5th treatment today. I have been straightening my hair on and off for the last 15 years. The strawberry blonde color means a mix of textures that is difficult to work with (I have had some really bad experiences with stylists that didn't have the experience to handle it). Alain took the time to get the formula just right and has done a flawless job since I started seeing him 2 years ago. He (and Roxana) are also a pleasure to talk to during the 4 hour process! read more

Just did with my hair with Alain today & couldn't be happier. I made the mistake of coloring my hair with someone else & ended up with orange/brassy hair & he fixed it to perfection. Honestly probably the nicest, most natural balayage I've had done & more important he listened to what I wanted and did EXACTLY what I had in mind. Highly recommend him for cut & color & anything you're looking to do to your hair really. He definitely knows what he's doing. Also, he offers reasonable prices compared to others out there. read more

I have been going to Alain for last few months & every time gets better and better. He is very professional & knows exactly what he's doing! I am very grateful to have landed in Alain's chair. He & his staff create an overall welcoming environment. I look forward to going in for my monthly haircut & always walk out feeling rejuvenated and refreshed- a true pleasure. I encourage all that are looking for a stylist that'll make you feel like a million bucks EVERY SINGLE TIME! read more

Alain has been styling my hair for many years now and I'm never disappointed with the results. Alain is the only stylist I've allowed to do the men's keratin treatment and I'm always amazed at how soft, straight and frizz-free he leaves my hair. Additionally, his haircuts are never rushed, with a cut that is precision perfect, beautifully blended and grows out evenly. My hair is one of the few things in my life that I never have to worry about because it always looks great. read more

Update: I was hooked by the great service and having hassle-free straight hair so I had to go for a touch up. Alain and Roxana did it again lol. They are so talented and created a really nice environment. Besides knowing how to do anything you want done to your hair, Alain also offers great hair products that I've continuously used for a year and have helped me a lot. There's a kind of trust you build with a good hairstylist and you will definitely find that with Alain. read more

It's been about a week and a half since i had the Japanese hair straightening treatment with Alain, and it really did change my life . I had extremely curly, Afro hair that i couldn't maintain and now I can swim in the beach , sweat pools and my hair remains silky smooth and straight even in this Miami humidity! . Alain and his assistants were so professional and friendly . Very happy with my salon choice and will be returning for my touch ups . Highly recommend ! read more

This guy is amazing! My girlfriend has been going to him for a number of years. His expertise in hair straighten is matched by no other. After bad experiences with other salons she found Alaine and he has been a god-send. He is constantly educating himself to better his craft. Alaine seems to have a born instinct in this field. She will not let anyone else touch her hair. I predict that this man will become famous in the Miami area. He is a true artist. read more

I have been a loyal customer of Alain's for over five years, and I have consistently had a great experience every time I visit. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, and Alain always takes the time to listen to my needs and preferences. I have received numerous compliments on my hair after leaving the salon, and I always leave feeling confident and happy with the results. I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for a top-notch hair care experience. read more
