Paris Claire Salon

In less than 2 hours, Laurent turned my frizzy, dry hair into beautiful healthy curls with a perfect haircut and amazing color. I finally found my hair stylist for my curly hair. and will definitely come back again more

I have been a client at Paris Claire for three years. Laurent is my hairdresser and I always look forward to my visits at the salon. He is responsive to my needs and has the technical ability and talent to make them a reality. This is a client-centric salon. When you are in the chair getting a haircut or color or both....it's all about you. When it comes to color...Laurent is the best. As for cuts...I require a very precise haircut and Laurent makes it look easy. As an added benefit he is funny and charming. It doesn't get any better than Paris Claire Salon. more

Simply put, Claire is heaven. I moved to Miami last year, and one of the things I was most upset over was leaving the salon I loved in New York. My first salon experience down here was a bit of a nightmare, and to be fair I did not thoroughly research the salon or its owner prior to going. Thankfully, I did my research the second time around and put my faith in Claire after reading so many incredible reviews about her and the salon. Not only did she do amazing damage control on my hair, but she made it more beautiful than I imagined would be possible. Claire is consistently genuine, considerate, and incredibly thorough...and to top it off, the salon's prices are so reasonable. In terms of quality alone, you get so much more than what you actually pay for. I was at Bliss Spa today, and one of their own stylists told me twice me how beautiful my hair is. If that is not a compliment to Claire, then I don't know what is. Claire, you are exquisite! more

I received my first haircut from Claire at Paris Claire Salon last week and I can easily confirm that it is the best haircut I've ever had in my life. My selection of the salon was based on the rave reviews it had on CitySearch and it paid off bigtime! I walked in, was warmly and instantly greeted by Claire who proceeded to take great interest in my hair and what I wanted out of the visit to the salon. After a thorough analysis of my hair type and desires, she flawlessly executed the chic, sexy hairstyle that I've been attempting to have for some time now, yet no one could quite give me. She is very meticulous in her work and will not let you leave dissatisfied- unlike so many salons that are moving on to the next customer before they are even finished with you! If you are looking for that personalized experience and a staff that is truly dedicated to the art and science of perfect hair, you need to visit Paris Claire Salon! more

I have been going to Paris Claire for almost 2 years now. The entire staff is professional and so genuine and friendly. The staff takes their time with each and every client and I have never felt that they were rushing through things. They listen, ask questions and really learn about what it is that you are looking for in terms of style and color. The products they use are fantastic and my hair is in the best condition it has ever been. I get compliments almost daily at work about either my cut or my color. I have lived in Miami for a long time and finally, finally I feel that I have found a salon I will be going to for many years to come. As an aside, parking on Miracle Mile can be difficult but there is a public lot directly behind the salon and I have always been able to get a spot there. more

If you can blow my hair out, then maybe I'll let you cut may hair. For the past 3-4 years, my son and I, are both Claire's clients. We both have very thick hair. I prefer scissors to be used when cutting my son's hair, not clippers. Claire indulges my whim. I wanted to change my look. I've been coloring my own hair for years - 10 to 12. I'm dark brown, black on the ends. How else to do it quick? Change the hair. I must've interviewd 6 stylists / colorists from Miami Beach; Pinecrest; & the Gables. This is gross, but I want to put it out there. The first salon I visited in M.B, quoted me, "a buck fifty an hour". Was I in a law office? Is he thinking that he's an attorney? The guy had the most filthy teeth. Plaque build-up; has he ever seen floss? We're talking and I cannot focus on what he's saying! I can only focus on his teeth! I'm thinking to myself, he's in the business of beauty & his teeth are gross!! There's no way this guy is going to change my look, if he can't take care of his look. So, I tell him it would be fiscally irresponsible of me to pay that kind of money for the 4-5 hour process he was describing ( 4x $150.00 = $500./$600). The other stylists were not as repulsive as the one above, but still the price range was $300 to $150. And one stylist recommended hi-lights only; ignoring what I wanted to accomplish. Maybe the process was too much work for him. When I consulted with Claire, she completely and in detail, explained the entire process, preserving the integrity of my hair, and the dollar amount. I am ecstatic! I am so happy that I went with Paris Claire salon! Laurent, Claire & Oliver did the unimagineable. They transformed me to higher plateau. I have received so many compliments. People don't recognize me; it's fun and Im loving life large!! Pros: Professional; tidy; fun Cons: Parking meter - park in the garage for long length time more

I have been going to Paris Claire for about two years now, and will not anyone else touch my hair. No matter who does my hair at the salon (either Claire or Laurent) they listen to what I want and make it happen. They are friendly and I always feel at home when I go there. It's come to the point that I have flown into Miami from Kuwait, Europe, and the Caribbean just to get my hair done here! I highly recommend Paris Claire!!! Pros: Phenomenal service Cons: None more

I have had three haircuts here and I will not go anywhere else. The entire staff is warm, welcoming, and extremely talented. Each time I have been, a different person has cut my hair, and each time without fail, they did a stellar job. The products they use are wonderful as well. Pros: Talented staff of professionals more

I have been a most satisfied customer of Paris Claire for years now, however, it is my most recent hair treatment that has encouraged me to write this review (something that I do not usually do). I must first mention that my experience at Paris Claire has always been a fabulous one. I have never had to wait on arrival, always treated with the utmost professionalism and a warmth from all of the staff that you would not get in most salons. I have always left the salon feeling completely pampered and & have not once been anything but most satisfied with the service and the way I felt & looked. Back to my most recent experience. I have always had unruly hair and was tired of having to spend so much time whenever I washed my hair. After consulting with Claire (co-owner of the salon), we decided that the Japanese thermal straightening would be the best thing for me. I must say that it is a labour and time intense process but the final outcome is worth every moment and more. I have NEVER been happier or more satisfied with anything that I have done with my hair. I think Claire & Laurent (also co-owner) may be the ones tired of hearing me repeat how happy I have been with the outcome. However, I do not get tired of the compliments that I have recieved because of my hair. Again, thank you Claire. Would I reccomend Paris Claire to anyone? YOU BET!!! And with the utmost confidence that you would leave the salon with the greatest satisfaction. Pros: professional experts Cons: none more

I was desperately looking to get hair extensions, and went to someone who gave me a very expensive quote.. i freaked out, and started searching for other places that i hoped were cheaper...i found Paris Claire through Citysearch, and went in for a consultation.. i decided to get my extenions done here due to 1) the staff; they are so nice and not fake like most here in Miami (i love Claire, the owner!! she did my extensions) 2) the price... they are realistic with the price they give to hair extensions...most people here in Miami price it too high and end up ripping off their customers...Claire is realistic and gave me a great price..she is very concerned about her customers and cares about them very much. My extensions ended up looking extremely natural...Claire asked what I wanted to do to my hair, as opposed to other stylists who TELL YOU what u should do to ur own hair... again, she is very caring of her customers and respects their opinion. In sum, i really can't recommend this place enough... i have told all my friends and family to check this place out. It is trule, a hidden jewel. :) Pros: nice & down-to-earth staff, GREAT music, clean Cons: can't think of anything.. more

I wanted to write my experience about this salon, but this site would not allow me to state my true feelings. It continued to tell me too much nonsense. The staff is very rude, they do not do as asked, and I will say this, I DO NOT recommend this Salon to anyone. more

I just got my hair cut and colored at Paris Claire Salon about 5 hours ago. I walked in and was immediately greeted by my hair stylist JOSEPH and was offered drinks for both my friend and I. I love that i did not wait at all. once I was seated I told Joseph I did not know what to do with my hair (my hair was almost to my booty) he suggested what he thought would look good with my face (and some really messed up bangs I had) he made sure i was ok with what he suggested and needless to say IT IS THE BEST HAIR CUT OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!! he cut my hair to about 3in under my shoulder and fixed some ugly peek-a-boo (low lights) I had and the honorable bangs I had cut over the weekend at another salon that I will not even mention. I have never been the type of person that talks to there hair stylist but Joseph made me feel like I was a long time friend. I truly feel like a princess I will never go to another salon again! Ps. my friend loved my hair so much she is getting her hair done at Paris Claire next week Pros: Joseph, cleanliness, no wait, music...everything Cons: NONE more

I went to Paris Claire for permanent hair straightening and loved it. I have done everything to my hair, and found that the consultation and time that Laurant took to explain the procedure was outstanding. I had researched the procedure and he was very frank with what he expected my results to be. Well, its been a month and my hair is as straight as when I left the salon. I am able to wash and style it on my own. I used to go have my hair done almost weekly, in the long run this has really saved me money, becuse I only go back for my color monthly and a trim. I will probably have to have the procedure done again in 9 to 12 months, but its well worth it. I also took my sister in law and she loved it, we both had our hair colored and were impressed by the consultation and results. We love them! Jose and Laurant are great, as well as the whole staff. Will continue to go, highly recommended. Pros: Personalized attention. I've never had to wait! Cons: None more

I went to Paris Claire Salon because I read such wonderful things... I don't know what salon these people went to but it was not the Paris -Claire I experienced... When I first walked in the hair stylists were arrogant, and unfriendly, and no one else was in the salon other than workers. When I tried to explain what I wanted both in color and style, it seemed they were not paying attention... Needless to say... I was correct... When I walked in all I really needed was a touch up on a highlight like I always recieved on my blond hair with a few lowlights. What I ended up with was BROWN AND WHITE STREAKS!!! I have never experienced such a terrible Hair Coloring in my life... I had needed a SLIGHT trim... Well several inches later I had short and badly colored hair... I found it to be very overpriced for the quality and service I received...I have now had to go to another salon to try to fix what damage they have caused to my hair... I would never recomend going to somewhere just because someone writes nice things about a salon... Pros: None Cons: Everything from when I walked in, Till I walked out more

I did a great deal of hunting on the internet to find what I hoped would be a quality salon, I live in Europe and have never been to Miami in my life and I wanted to make the most of my trip. I planned to splurg on myself. Paris Claire had the best reviews so I went for it. I was not disapointed. Having spent years going to stylists wanting to give me the latest trendy cuts, I had a master stylist who asked me what I wanted and delivered. I wanted classy cut and color I got it! From the minute I walked in I felt welcomed by the friendly and professional staff. My master stylest, oh, if I could have smuggled her home I would have. Even though I was only there one time, she offered to help me with my stylist here in Europe. Now that's service. Now that I am back in Europe, I have recieved a ton of compliments about my new look. Thank you to Paris Claire, Lia more

AMAZING!!! I just moved to miami from cali and was terrified to have to find a new hairdresser as i have had the same one for 10 years. I have long hair and i'm pretty protective about it. I chose Laurent from the salon after reading on this website. Everyone at the salon is extremely friendly and welcoming. Laurent asked me what I wanted, was very attentive, and analyzed my hair color with time and patience. I was quickly put at ease. He is an extremely experienced hair stylist and knows what he is doing, but is humble at the same time. I LOVE MY HAIR. This is by far the best my hair as every looked, and i thought it looked great before. I recommend Laurent to anyone who wants an amazing color and cut. I am not rich, but i think that you get more than one you paid for and I will continue to pay in order to keep my hair looking like this. Thank you Laurent. You are a genius. Pros: very experienced, friendly, they will pay the meter, amazing color. Cons: none more

I started coloring my hair to cover up the grey, and Laurent and the staff at Paris Claire were (and are) amazing. I have never received so many compliments on the color and cut of my hair. The salon is very professional and welcoming. From the moment one walks in the door, you feel as if all attention is on you. I was immediately offered something to drink and asked if I needed anything else. I was never made to wait while someone else was being taken care of, as I have had to do at other salons. I would highly recommend this salon and all of the stylists there. I ended up taking my daughter to get her hair cut at Paris Claire and I have taken her to many other salons, the stylist who cut her hair did an amazing job. They not only made me feel comfortable about them cutting my daughter's hair, they made my daughter feel comfortable as well. As far as the price goes, I feel that Paris Claire is very fair in their pricing. I have been to many other salons that charge a whole lot more for a lot less. All in all, the best salon I have ever been to. i am not planning on ever trying another salon again. Pros: Quality, atmosphere, consistency, friendlness Cons: None more

I was a customer of Paris Claire and will never set foot in that salon again!!! The services are overpriced, you are made to wait (like everything in Miami) and you don't always get the treatment or service you are promised. There are MILLIONS of other stellar salons in the Coral Gables area, take note of them and forget about Paris Claire. Cons: Arrogant Staff more

For me, the best salon ever and best hair dresser ever too!!! Laurent is a really good adviser. I spent like 6 hours there for a japanese hair strigntening, My hair look fabulous and still. The whole team was adorable and sweet. I wish he could be in France too. more

I've tried many salons in Miami and Paris Claire is the best. From the moment I walk in the door I feel welcome and special. I've never had to wait. My stylist is always ready and escorts me straight back to the changing area. This is not the case at many of Miami's "upscale" salons where you often have to wait around for someone to take any notice and offer help. The salon is also extremely neat and clean. I've been to many salons in Miami where I was disgusted by the dirty floors and untidy work areas. At Paris Claire they are serious about maintaining a clean and stylish environment. I also like the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. So many salons seem to focus on how many clients can be seen in one day. I've had stylists leave me stranded while my highlights were processing as they attempted to squeeze in additional hair cuts. I've always had personal attention at Paris Claire and I've never seen them schedule several clients at the same time. The environment is very relaxed and the people are incredibly friendly. I've only been going there for a couple of months and everyone greets me like an old friend. The actual styling services are terrific. I love the haircuts, highlights, and blowouts I've had a Paris Claire. My highlights are so natural and soft. The best thing I've ever had done to my hair was a Japanese straighening treatment. I have very curly hair and I've tried expensive treatments before. None ever came close to the results I got when Laurent straightened my hair. It is so soft and healthy. It only takes me about 10 mintues to style my hair while it used to take 45 minutes. I was outside at a picnic and it was rainy and very humid. All the other women got very frizzy hair. Thanks to Laurent, my hair stayed sleek and straight. It was amazing and people were telling me how lucky I was to have such great hair. Little did they know! Thanks Paris Claire. more
