I finally found MY go-to salon! I got smart when we just moved to a different area of Miami and did…read moremy RESEARCH! I was looking for a salon that specializes in "Blonding" techniques. It so hard to get the right color for your look-modern, but natural. MOST importantly, minimize the damage! I have pretty long hair and it is important to me to maintain it. No shade, It's all about personal choice. I need to "do me" and be my best authentic self. I found a terrific stylist here IRENE! She listened to what I preferred, and made terrific suggestions. Her attention to detail and expert techniques plus a great eye for style are all you could hope for. Her energy is so upbeat and positive. The look and feel and movement of my hair is SO much improved! This is my follow up visit and it just keeps getting better and more healthy, bouncy and shiny. You will leave with a hair maintenance plan & looking goooooood. If you value your hair as your crowning glory and you are willing to invest a bit of time, energy and yes $$, this is your salon! Thanks for following me and happy beautiful 2026!

I came back to this salon for a balayage and am absolutely obsessed with my result. The minute I…read morewalked in, I was made to feel so welcome and at ease by the staff. My stylist listened to exactly what I was after a soft, blended, and low maintenance, and completely nailed it. The atmosphere of the salon is super chic yet relaxing, and you can tell everyone there truly cares about their clients. I left not only loving my hair but feeling refreshed and confident. I've gotten so many compliments already, if you're thinking about getting a balayage or any color service, I couldn't recommend this place more!

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.

UPDATE #2: they have now made a fake number to act as the FBI to lure me into so trap. Screenshot…read moreis attached I was shocked at my hair trauma experience as well as inappropriate and disgusting behavior by the staff. Especially after the reviews I saw online. I had scheduled an appointment with Miguel to get JUST a partial highlight, as I informed him I have K tip extensions that I get taken care of elsewhere for years. The whole appointment Miguel is asking me to go on dates and telling me he could just do my hair at my house next time. That behavior was actually the least of my concerns. When my hair was done, I left the salon with normal highlight touch up, at least I thought. My hair looked slightly thin but I didn't think much of it since it was styled. The next day my 25 inch extensions had zero volume, and the beach waves were completely gone. I texted Miguel the next day asking him if he put a hair masque on my extensions and he told me "yes I put a conditioning mask and didn't charge you". I have NEVER had any extension problems before because I know as a client, not to use this type of treatment on k tips. For the Slovak K Tip extensions I have, they are very very thick and volumous and conditioning treatments thin and ruin them. I was NEVER asked about the mask and never gave consent for this. I was not even being told that I was getting a treatment put into my hair. When I called the salon to speak with the "manager" Angie, I told her what happened, asking for a resolution to my $3100 extensions that were ruined. She interrupted me several times saying "are you done talking yet" then hung up on me out of her anger for not understanding how expensive my extensions are. It has been only 5 days since this appointment and I have now had 7 -K tip extensions come out of my head as well. The reviews on here are great for when they actually do their job, but the unprofessional approach and lack of accountability and to make things right, is where this salon lacks their true credibility. I would say solely after this type of interaction, their licenses are at risk. UPDATE: it has been 12 days after my appointment and I have lost a total of 15 extensions from my hair, in the last 12 days. Gleam also messaged me on Instagram to take down my reviews to give me my refund on my highlights

After living in the Miami area for 5 months, I decided to check out Steven Michael's because of the high ratings and close location to home. Their hours are also awesome as many salons in the area are closed on Sunday. I was able to make an appointment for a cut and balayage between Christmas and New Years without a problem (and I only called about a week in advance). When I called I was connected to Elizabeth, who is a balayage goddess. It was great for talk on the phone about what I was looking for since I was pretty much jumping into the deep end without an in person consultation prior to the cut and color. When I arrived to the salon for my appointment, I was seated right away and Elizabeth got to work. I showed her some pictures and it was clear she knew exactly what I was looking for. I was in and out in about 2 hours, which was awesome (I had previously gone to a salon where this process would take 3 hours even with my short, fine hair). I put my trust in Elizabeth, and I was not disappointed! I went from a dark brunette color to a honey/caramel color in no time. I'm so excited to return!
