Assaf Aveda Salon

I don't understand what everyone on here is raving about. I'm amazed that this place has so many great reviews considering. Thinking that hair extensions, which they are famous for, must be stellar. Otherwise, this place looks like everything you would want on the surface but when you scratch a bit deeper you find a lot of hype. I purchased a discout coupon on Living Social for a keratin treatment. Anyone who lives in Florida with frizzy hair and has received a keratin treatment KNOWS that this stuff just works. It's a pain for the first couple days, but you suffer for beauty because its worth it. The procedure is pricey too, ranging from about $150-300 depending on the length of your hair. When I saw this offer, I jumped figuring if there were so many great reviews, I would be ok. I also have a simple hairstyle so wasn't worried. When we arrive, we see that the facility is nicely decorated, which gives the impression that it is a high class establishment. Don't let that fool you. Stylist begins to work on my hair, and I can't really blame her, she gave me what I wanted, no frills, but she didn't completely ruin my hair, which is why I gave one star. However, I was supposed to receive a keratin treatment and instead got something akin to the emperor's new clothes. She went through the motions of applying a ""masque"" on my hair after the wash and putting me under the dryer for 10 min. At the end of this procedure, she washed it out and sprayed my hair with white liquid which she claimed was the product. She then did the ""no clips or headbands, flat iron your hair when you get a crimp and don't wash for 48 hours"" schpiel and I asked where the heavy creamy stuff they usually apply was. She claimed that there are different types and this on was supposed to last 3-6 mos but I wasn't going to see a decrease in body or anything. Stupid me, I believed her. The alarms started going off in my head when my hair curled as soon as I stepped outside, even though she had flat ironed. Again, anyone who has ever received this treatment knows that that's pretty near impossible, even if you have the curliest hair imaginable. It did feel softer, but nothing I couldn't have gotten with a mayonnaise treatment and intense conditioner. I waited the 2 days and washed and blow dryed last night. Didn't use any product to see what I would get. Surprise, frizz city. Actually, not surprised. You get what you pay for. Period. Also, I don't care what the other reviews say, the man who owns this salon is the rudest, nastiest little scrap of a man I've ever met. Evil little laugh, mean smile, ugh. Didn't even greet us, say thank you when we left. At one point I was sitting in a shampoo chair waiting for the other party I went with to be finished, talking to her while her hair was being washed (since there was no real comfortable place to sit, I would have had to perch on a precarious looking bar stool otherwise) and he comes over with a man who had had no hair and just stares me down nastily. I asked if he needed me to move and he just continued to stare me down. No 'Thanks yes, please"" or ""Sorry about that"". I moved, not a word. As for the other stylists, I noticed only one turning out good work. The one working on my friend looked as if she had left hair school last week, very green, and I had to stop her because she kept cutting, cutting, going over the same spot a million times (in back so my poor friend couldn't see). At that point I was glad she was finished because I was about to walk out. The use of Aveda products was the only good experience of the visit. The receptionist had the audacity to ask us to post reviews as we were leaving, wonder how she missed the frowns on our faces. I'm not usually nasty or critical. But I feel I was ripped off and that I should let other people know that this place is not worth the money or gas it takes to get there. Good interior design does not a professional salon make. more

Fantastic service! I got great hair cut and the best customer service I ever experienced. They are amazing! AVEDA products are organic and make my hair shine and live. Location is convenient, salon is clean, bright. I would definitely recommend to make an appointment with Fariba stylist. A+ more

I couldn't find a place where I could go out happy with my hair. This Salon is great and I am definitely coming back! more

I just absolutely love Assaf. My sister and her friend referred me to Assaf and I didn't know what to expect. But now I refuse to let anyone else touch my hair. Past blond highlighting jobs have always ended up dull and brassy looking. But when Assaf does my color, he makes it look not only natural, but beautifully bright and layered. He is also fabulous at cutting and styling. My hair always looks perfectly coiffed but not overdone when I step out of the salon. He also did my hair extensions and they came out great, you could not see the difference in hair. I reused the same hair when my roots grew and he just retaped the same extensions and they looked perfect. So I actually saved a lot of money and it was super convenient. Overall he is reasonably priced and also one of the sweetest, most joyous people to be around. Sometimes, sitting in a hairdresser's chair can be awkward because you don't know what to say. But he is also wanting to hear about how you are doing. If you are looking for someone to be a perfect addition to your appearance, Assaf is the man for the job. The salon is great and the stuff is very nice, they offer you comforting tea, the shampoo process is the best, its not like a regular quick shampoo, but they actually give you a head and hand relaxing massage, its like a whole spa procedure. I totally love it and do recommend for people who are looking for a great hair stylists, not just hair dressers! more

Very bad salon with rude personal. Very high price. more

I was recently referred to Assaf Salon for Hair Extensions by my friend (who has been getting her hair done there for years). For as long as I can remember I had short hair and I recently decided I wanted it long. Instead of waiting the 2 years for my hair to grow, I decided to get hair extensions...not only does my hair look amazing, the people there were so kind and sweet to me. At first I was so nervous about my hair being damaged, but they guaranteed me that it wouldn't and honestly, they were right!!!!!!!! I really love the way my hair looks and get compliments all the time. THANK YOU ASSAF SALON!!!!!!!!!! more

I sent my wife here to get her hair done, and she came back looking marvelous. She's slightly thinning in the back, but they took notice of this as was able to style and cut her a hair appropriately to make her look hip and young. I recommend this miami hair AVEDA salon to anyone looking for the hair stylist treatment. I can honestly tell you to disregard any bad comments you see here. This team of haircare professionals knows exactly what they are doing. Pros: Professional, they pay attention to details, talented Cons: I wish it was closer, but it's worth the drive more

When I first entered I was immediately greeted in a very friendly manner. They make you feel very comfortable and offer you a drink. I originally came for just a simple hair cut and expected just that but what I received was a complete relaxing experience. Pros: Very Clean, Calm, Relaxing Environment more

This salon is outstanding. I went to do my hair and could not be happier. The customer service was phenomenal. I have never seen a salon so upbeat, relaxing; most of all the people were comforting. They say a women?s best friend is her stylist because he makes her feel good about the way she looks. I sat in the chair and spoke to my stylist Assaf for hours while doing my hair. Sometimes it?s just a relief to have someone to gossip to that only helps you look better. The make up artist does such incredible work my husband didn?t even recognize me. He is so good I guess thats why he does all the major celebrities including the Miss. America. Pros: You can be yourself and look great . Cons: To bad I can only do my hair once a month more
