I've been coming to Nero Salon for 8 years, and I can honestly say the Japanese straightening service has changed my life. My hair is incredibly easy to manage now--truly wash and go. It's healthy, grows quickly, and looks great all the time. Joseph and his team are the absolute best. I highly recommend this service and this salon! read more

If i could give this business more than 5 stars, i would do it without hesitation. Joseph, owner of Nero Hair salon, is extremely professional, provides the best service experience ever, understand his clients needs, will always make sure that you feel happy with his work and is an amazing human being. If you are serious about your hair and service, this is the place to go. I highly recommend Joseph at Nero Hair salon and his team of great professionals and wonderful people. Im lucky that I found Joseph right after my 6 years hairdresser canceled my appointment a day before by text message and stating that she will no longer do the process called Lisio (Japanese Straightened) Things happen for a reason and this time is definitely for better. THANK YOU JOSEPH! read more

Joseph has been doing my Japanese hair straightening for years now. I do not trust anyone else with my hair. Joseph is very patient and extremely skilled.

He cares about the result just as much as you do. The salon is very clean and they always offer snacks and drinks, they make you comfortable, and provide very good service. Joseph is my hair stylist for life!! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place! Moved to Miami recently and I needed to find a new hairstylist, which is possibly the most nervewracking experience. Decided to take the leap and I could not be more happy with my decision. Both Kelly and Joseph were phenomenal from the start of my experience to the end. You can really tell they truly care about you as a client and will be completely honest with you. I got a balayage with a moisturizing treatment and haircut and I absolutely love it. The moisturizing treatment alone sold me - the head massage you recieve from Joseph during the treatment is to die for. You really can't go wrong with this salon, they're experts! read more

I am updating my review below to five stars because this business took the time to correct it and was gracious about it. And despite this - never came back asking me to update my review. Me doing this is entirely on my own accord. I went back and they reapplied the keratin to my frame , I washed it this time prior to exercise (if you sweat a lot as I do, i suggest you wash your hair prior with any keratin) and my hair is frizz FREE!!! The lady who originally did my hair and is absolutely amazing was booked that entire day , so she had someone else do it for me. If this happens to you, please be sure to tip the person who is now helping you out. I know it's easy to think I already paid and tipped -- but this new person is still doing a service and helping out a colleague. You definitely aren't tipping the original bill , but a little small gesture that you can afford goes a long way for someone's day. I highly recommend Nero's for their hair services and customer service! Top notch. read more

Joseph has curated an incredible experience for his clients. He motivates, coaches and encourages his team ... so they WANT to pursue excellence. And it shows. Hadassa is absolute MAGIC. Not only is she incredibly talented, she connects with her clients, and that shows richly in her work. I am SO THRILLED with my highlights, cut and style ... can't wait to go back for my regular appointment. Hadassa, you've gained a new client. Thank you for the beautiful work you do, and for your place in this world! read more

I love this place and really do recommend it!! I did a Japanese treatment 3 years ago at a different salon and absolutely loved it, but because I have fine hair that has thinned out a lot, I was very skeptical to do it again. A few months ago, I started really considering it again and stumbled upon this place and saw the great reviews. Well, they proved to be true! I first went in for a consultation to ask all the questions I had about the treatment and about my hair, and both Kelly and Joseph were very honest, patient, and not pushy at all with me! Kelly did my treatment (who, by the way, is very sweet and great conversation!) and I love the result! She was very meticulous and made sure I was happy with my hair! Thank you, Kelly!!! Also, the whole staff is very welcoming and friendly! If you're considering doing the Japanese Straightening Treatment, DO IT! You'll be so happy and save so much time and stress!! read more

Update: the owner "carefully reviewed my request for a refund" and of the 300$ I paid, he only reduced the cost of the toner (75$) because they stand by the work they've done, even though it looks awful. It's a joke to think these people are licensed professionals. This place is a total scam. After they ruined my hair ( which I will attach pictures of) the owner has the audacity to say they gave me exactly what I wanted. They have lied to me from the beginning. All I asked for was balayage, my hair was already brunette mostly virgin hair with light ends and I wanted to enhance it . The stylist bleached my entire hair blonde. All of it. She said it was a mistake, then the next day the owner said it was intentional and that the reference photo I showed is probably blonde and I just need toner. They then offered to fix it and they still left it blonde. I am in disbelief. The stylist told me she was going to get a refund. For more than two weeks she said the refund was already processing on the owners behalf who has on vacation and should be in my bank account shortly. Today I spoke to the owner and he said the refund was never even processing, the stylist must have panicked and that I actually was supposed to contact him seven days after the visit to start the refund process. I tried to contact him but he was on vacation. Now the full refund I was promised is under review and he said I probably won't get a full refund because they did so many things. I under stand the labor and money that goes into product, but my hair is ruined and I've been jerked around for three weeks with constant lies. I'm out over 300 dollars with hair that is uneven, damaged, and no where near what I wanted. Please do yourself a favor and go else where! I attached the exact reference photos and pictures of what I actually got. This is what he says is exactly what I wanted. read more

Huge life saver on my hair. I have naturally very thick, wavy hair that is uncontrollable and difficult for me to want to wear down, especially in hot Miami. So naturally I would blow dry it straight and then flat iron it soon after in order to make it somewhat manageable. Because of all the hard work, I would avoid sweating and going to the gym and working out simply because I wanted to maintain all the hard work I had put into straightening my hair. So I did some research on Japanese hair straightening and immediately knew that this was the way to go. It will save me so much time and energy, and I can actually LIVE and not worry at all about my hair! Joseph Nero is a trained pro. Believe what you read here about him! He gave me a very thorough consultation so that I can understand what my expectations should be. And he soon after started the procedure. It has been 2 months and I am in LOVE with my hair! I can literally wash and have it air dry on its own, and it is pin straight! I have no need for hot tools anymore which was damaging my hair, and I am finally feeling like I can do anything and not worry that my hair will be ruined. I truly recommend Joseph for the Japanese Hair Straightening procedure, as well as hair cuts and hair treatments. He does it all! He has earned a customer for life when it comes to me, as I simply will not trust anyone else with my hair anymore and I love the results. I would give 10 stars if yelp would let me! read more

After an exhaustive search for an expert at Japanese Hair straightening, Joseph was recommended by the product manufacturer. Petrified to trust anyone other than "my guy" for the last 20 years in NY, I bit the bullet. So glad I did! At my request, Joseph contacted my former stylist to get a background on my hair before I even stepped into the salon. He then spent time with me the day of my appointment to test my hair and explain his recommendation. It's been two weeks since and all I can say is Wow. I couldn't be happier with the result, and I 100% would recommend him to anyone considering Japanese straightening/thermal reconditioning. He really knows his stuff which is sooooo incredibly important with this process. read more

I was a little concerned how the experience would be and how my hair would look coming out simply because Nero specializes in Japanese straightening treatments and I was going in specifically for color. I didn't see too many reviews regarding coloring success stories so was a little nervous. BUT...now they've got a customer for life. Kelli did my color and conditioning treatment and was so attentive to my needs and wishes. I came in with some SERIOUS roots on top of color stripes from where my previous stylist used different formulas each time I came in, so my hair was a bit of a conundrum figuring out how to get it the copper bright color I was hoping for and blend in those color stripes and roots for one consistent, refreshed color. Kelli and Joseph made a game plan and Kelli absolutely executed on it. She even gave me styling tips for blow drying and curling my hair so I could recreate the salon blow-out look, As I was going through my hair treatment, I asked a bunch of questions about their Japanese hair treatments, and they were very honest and transparent about my candidacy (or lack thereof) for this hair treatment due to my hair health from multiple color treatments. They didn't try to sell me on it just to make money, but were honest about the need for me to treat my hair for healthiness first, make it stronger and softer and THEN evaluate whether Japanese straightening is a good fit for me, which was such a refreshing mentality. Overall this was a great experience and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Yesss!! I have been getting my hair Japanese straightened since I was 18. (I am 32 now). I have been to good places and bad. I am kind of a Japanese straightening expert at this point. Lol! I recently moved to Mexico from California. One of my biggest concerns was finding a new salon I 100% trust with my hair as Japanese hair straightening has to be very precise and done by someone super experienced. One little thing- either chemical too strong or left on too long- can permanently damage your hair. Thankfully a friend in Mexico told me about Nero hair salon. She specifically flew in to Miami and spent the night at a hotel- just to get her hair done. After taking her advice- I did the same and couldn't be happier! I like my hair stick straight with no frizz and that's exactly what was delivered! Hair feels super healthy too! Will 100% be going back to Joseph and his peeps for when it's touch up time. Everyone at the salon is so sweet which is a major plus! HIGHLY recommend. He knows his stuff! read more

Joseph Nero is "THE MASTER" of the Japanese Hair Straightening Treatment! I had my treatment done last weekend and I am THRILLED! I had VERY thick, curly, long, color treated hair and now beautiful straight, silky hair. I can't say enough about Joseph, what a professional, skilled and knowledgeable person. We had an initial consultation for him to evaluate my hair and to explain step by step what I should expect. I set the appointment for the next weekend since he told me the process, for my hair, would take about 5-6 hours. On the day of the appointment, Joseph didn't leave my side for the whole process, constantly testing my hair and keeping me engaged in conversation. I have been treating my hair with Keratin for 5 year, the Japanese Hair Straightening treatment, doesn't even compare. This product, hands down, is superior! I washed my hair last night and finger dried it in 10 mins. Previously it would take me 45 min to 1 hr. My hair is absolutely amazing, silky smooth, less volume and straight. NEVER did my hair look like this with the Keratin. Don't even think about it twice, Joseph is the ONLY person to trust with the Japanese Hair Straightening Treatment! read more

So it's been 4 weeks that I had the treatment done and it's been great! The results are as true as he says they will be! I had a little issue with a stubborn portion of my hair since sometimes that can happened to the hair and was able to call Joseph to explain to him. He was wonderful enough schedule me to get it fixed, these guys stick to their word don't doubt it guys! You can't go wrong with them!!! If there would be more stars I would add them! :) call them now for the most beautiful hair you'll ever enjoy. read more

Had a good experience at the hair salon. I had a Keratin treatment done. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Alain did my treatment. Shampoo rinsing was amazing--very gentle and the head massage was soothing. My only concern was that the Keratin product used was super strong and caused my eyes to burn and get watery during the process. After leaving the salon, I had an uncomfortable headache for the rest of the night and started to develop a runny nose. As soon as I woke up, I had to immediately rinse the product out of my hair. As soon as I did that, I started to feel better. My hair is nice and manageable now though! I go to the gym and with all the sweating, I don't see a lion's mane anymore. :) read more

I'm just back from Nero Hair Salon. Read my review here. Hadassa was amazing and her hands are anointed! From the moment I walked in she was very friendly and welcoming. She took her time and listened during the consultation and explained exactly what was going to be done during the service. Her warm spirit and smile made me very comfortable. She answered all of my questions and gave tips and insight on what I should to to improve my hair health! I am thoroughly satisfied with her and the services I recieved! I already have my next appointment scheduled. Thank you thank you thank you! Joi read more

The BEST SALON in Miami, hands down. I recently received a Japanese straightening treatment here and I am blown away. I have naturally curly, thick, unruly, coarse hair that would take me 30 minutes to 1 hour to blow dry. Now, I can blow dry my hair pin straight in 5 minutes or let it air dry for a beautifully natural straight look. I have virgin hair so I was initially apprehensive about getting the treatment done, but my hair looks and feels so healthy still. I am a customer for life!!! Joseph, the owner who did my hair, is so amazing and kind; he will answer any and every question you may have. read more

I have the curliest hair ever and I got the keratin treatment done for the very first time here. Joseph took the best care of me during my time there and I can say I am 100% in love with my hair now. It dries in half the time it used to and takes me only 30 minutes to straighten, something I could never do on my own before with my curly hair. 100% recommend to anyone looking to make curly hair way more manageable. Joseph's work is amazing and he knows the ins and outs of every hair type! I can't wait to go back. read more

When you look at my before and after pictures, you're going to think to yourself, "There is no way that is from the same person!" Well let me tell you, it is! (joseph - you need to post my photos! ;-) I've been battling crazy, unruly, thick curly hair from birth. I was tired of it. I researched Yelp and found Nero Lopez and thought, let's give these guys a challenge. I met Joseph for my initial review. He spent a lot of time with me and explained everything and answered all my questions. Then came the big day! I can not tell you how over the moon happy I was with the finished result. I will NEVER go anywhere else! Definitely worth the investment. Thank you Joseph and Alain for all your beautiful hard work! I absolutely love the new ME! read more

Joseph is by far the best hair stylist I've ever been to. I destroyed my hair with an AWFUL perm from another salon 8 months before I was getting married. I went straight to Joseph after seeing all the reviews online and he is truly a miracle worker. I wanted my hair to be chemically straightened (in the hopes of having a normal hair texture again) and he was completely honest with me - any more chemical processing to my hair would have ruined it. However, he told me we had other options for treatments that would build back up the strength in my hair and hopefully correct some of the issue. After a few visits, he was totally right! He also listened to what I wanted color wise and always meticulously makes sure that it's just as wonderful on repeat visits. I would HIGHLY recommend Nero Lopez Hair to anyone. read more

Avoid services in this place!!! I went for a keratin treatment and they burned my scalp. Also, they didn't complete the treatment how it must have been. I am still recovering with a dermatologist after 5 months. They treated me unprofessional and rude. They charged me for everything. Honestly don't go to this place. read more

I have had my hair Japanese Straightened for 17 years now. Every one does the Keratin treatment here, but on super curly thick hair it is useless. I moved to Florida 2 years ago and kept going back to NYC for a straightening. I could not find anyone in south Florida . I am so very happy I found Joseph and the Nero Lopez Salon. I drove from Delray Beach to get my Liscio Japanese straightening and it was well worth the trip. It is the best JS I have ever had. My hair is silky shiny and smooth and does not frizz in the Florida humidity. I highly recommend this Salon. Thank you Joseph. read more

As always, great experience! I year ago, I had Liscio Japanese straightening done. For reference, my natural hair is kinky Shirley temple curly. The process made my hair straight, healthy, & shiny. About a month ago I went in to get Liscio done on my new root growth, but my hair, always being difficult, didn't process the product correctly and it wasn't wash-&-go straight. Joseph fit me in his busy schedule & fixed it, for no extra charge! That is truly someone who stands by the quality of their work. Roxanna is always great and friendly, she's such a sweetheart, & she gives the BEST shampoos and conditioners - I wish I could get my hair washed her every day lol, it feels so nice and relaxing. I've never had a service from Alain, but whenever I see his clients leave, they always look great. I don't live in the area, but coming here is well worth the drive. Everyone at this salon knows their stuff & caters to your personal needs. I feel like family every time I walk in. If you're on the fence for whatever reason, MAKE THE PLUNGE! You won't regret it. I don't trust my hair with anyone else except the talented folks at Nero Lopez salon! Can't wait to go back soon for a treatment & balayage. (: Joseph has changed my hair & changed my life & I'm so glad I discovered this little gem of a salon. read more

I have been seeing Joseph for the past 2 years for Japanese straightening (plus usually I get a cut, too). The results have been FANTASTIC. I have been doing Japanese straightening for 8 years now and have always been pretty happy with the result, but Joseph does an even better job than my last guy (in NC). My hair is straight smooth and shiny with literally NO effort. I am a full-time working mom of two, so this saves me significant precious time in the AM. The treatment lasts in my hair until there is enough regrowth to drive me nuts (usually around the 6-7 month mark). The cost is on the high side (it is much more expensive here than it was in NC - but that's probably to be expected) but the experience is great and the time saved is so worth it (time = money anyway, right!??). NOTE: Best for wavy / frizzy hair, not tight curls. If you're not sure, you can see Joseph for a consultation (I believe they are free) to find out if Japanese is a good option for you. read more

Superior service and truly impressive results. The Liscio hair straightening is Joseph's area of expertise. I always go to Alain for cut and hair color and and Albertte provides an expert blow out. They are always courteous and accommodating with appointments and I always recommend them to family and friends. Those who go are impressed with the results and I am constantly receiving compliments from friends and strangers. The conditioning treatments are amazing!! Do yourself a favor and ask about them! read more

I could give this place six stars I would! I have gotten keratin all my life but was looking for another straightening treatment when I found Japanese hair straightening. Joseph was very thorough with all of my questions. And took the time to ask me questions to make sure that this treatment was what I wanted. All I have to say is: how have I lived my whole life without this treatment and without Joseph lol! I have very curly (not very pretty/ formed curls.) with this treatment I wash my hair and jump out of the shower with under 15 minutes of work (if any). Something I thought was never going to be possible. If you're thinking Japanese hair straightening then here is the place to go! read more

Today was my third time doing my Liscio Japanese straightening with Alain Lopez. He is truly amazing! He takes his time and always understands exactly what it is I want. Whether it's for straightening, color, or a cut you can't go wrong with these guys! read more

Great haircut & balayage by Alain Lopez (and Roxana who helped too) I am very happy with my results & will definitely continue to come back. Customer Service is always great, they are very punctual & they use good quality products :) You won't be disappointed. read more

Joseph has been doing my hair for exactly 2 years! I met him from a friend of mine who also gets the Japanese straightening done from Joseph and she absolutely loves him; she wouldn't reccomend anyone else. I love how he does the Japanese treatment! Not only is he an amazing hair dresser but he is also a friendly person! With his amazing ability to use all the best techniques to do the japanese straightening and be a friendly person I wouldn't get my hair done from anyone else! read more

Awesome service, really nice staff and a great haircut all around!! Will definitely be back.

Joseph Nero did my Japense Hair Straightening Treatment last weekend and I am blown away! Not just by my hair, but the skills and professionalism Joseph performed. He took his time and didnt leave my side for the whole process, writing down notes for the next time I came, constantly testing my hair, and keeping me engaged in a conversation. Now my hair, is absolutely amazing. When I wash my hair, I apply the products Joseph recommended and comb it out- it air dries pin straight! It's manageable and soft- I can't stop touching it and neither can my family. read more

I am extremely picky when it comes to my hair especially after multiple fallouts by the stylists I have been to. Joseph truly exceeded my expectations and delivered the most amazing keratin treatment I have ever had! I have had numerous treatments in areas such as Miami Beach South Miami, Downtown, and Coral Gables but I have never had such an amazing result in my first visit. My hair is free from frizz and so straight I love it! read more

I have been going to Alain for two years now and would not go to anyone else for my Japanese Liscio straightening. Alain is a perfectionist and makes sure every detail is to his liking and truly cares about the outcome of your hair. My hair is normally VERY curly and coarse but once he's done it is soft, smooth, and straighter than ever. They use high-quality products and make sure that you are comfortable and have everything you need. I recommend this salon to anyone interested in looking their best. read more

Had the Liscio treatment today and I must say that I am amazed by how great my hair turned out! It far exceeded my expectations! Roxana is an amazing stylist and my cut is in point!! The attention to detail and personalization at this salon is superb. Joseph, Alain, and Roxana are experts in Japanese straightening techniques and their passion for what they do is evident. They absolutely strive for perfection and you will definitely walk out of there with beyond amazing hair. I came to this salon based on their 5* reviews and I can honestly say that those reviews are well-deserved. Great service, great atmosphere and an overall amazing experience :) read more

If you are considering the Japanese Hair Treatment, Joseph is your guy! My daughters have been coming here for 7 years and I just decided to take the jump. I couldn't be any happier. He is knowledgeable, perfectionist and HONEST! read more

My experience at Nero Hair Salon was amazing. I did the Brazilian Keratin Hair Blow out with Alain Lopez and he did a great job. I am super satisfied with my hair. The people here are talented workers and I am definitely coming back to try the Japanese Hair treatment. xoxo ash read more

Albertte is amazing. She gave a haircut worth $1000!!! I had a haircut and a blow dry and I love the result. I did not expect too much from this place since they are expert on hair straightening, but they prove me wrong. They are excellent on hair cuts and on hair straightening read more

Just want to update the last review almost 2 years ago as I have seen him 3 times since then. I will never go to anybody else unless he moves out of state! Absolutely the best! I have been having this treatment for several years now and can't imagine not having it! The best! read more

I needed to have a keratin treatment done on less than one day's notice. Nero was completely booked but he was kind enough to accommodate me in between his appointments for the very next day. Once I arrived I was greeted warmly with a cup of coffee and smiles. The keratin treatment had a special discount to my luck! Now, the usual time it takes to do my hair is around 2-3 hours. Between Nero and the other stylist whom also had a gentle hand my hair was done in around 45 minutes! I've washed my hair several times since then and it has stayed silky smooth for so long! He has a magic touch! I couldn't rave more about my experience. I've already made my next appointment for the second round of keratin treatment in a few months. Will definitely be going back! read more
