I did my hair with all three: Patricia, Cristian and Gustavo. I am very hard to please. All three have "wowed" me. Patricia has a keen eye for precision and symmetry, and her h...

I have been getting my hair highlighted for most of my life. i am a natural blonde and am very careful to keep my hair looking natural. I think its worth it to go spend top dollar...

Best Haircut Ever 9/9/2010

I was in need of a haircut, and did some serious searching before I came upon Gustavo's salon. I decided to book an appointment with Patricia, because she charged a little less, hoping to still get great results. Boy did I! I have never had a great haircut and been thoroughly pleased when leaving the salon until Patricia cut my hair. Not only did she listen to exactly what I wanted, which was long layers, keeping the length around my face and throughout, but I continued to love the cut more and more as it grew out! This, to me, was a sign of truly amazing talent! I visited her again, and her warm personality, attentiveness, and skill was even more obvious than the first time. She even told me to hold a mirror and watch her as she cut the back, so that she would do exactly what I wanted. She also helped me with tips on how to do a perfect blow out with a large flat brush. She listens, she cares, she does an incredible job. Patricia has found a loyal client in me! more

Gustavo's:Place to get a versatile cut & sophisticated color 7/31/2010

Five stars to Gustavo’s. Gustavo cut, colored, and highlighted my hair and I have to say he did a phenomenal job!. First, he consulted with me and carefully listened to what I wanted and then he went to work to deliver the ultimate style that I requested. My hair is very curly/kinky and sometimes when I wear it natural the cut is not even. Well, Gustavo took his time with the cut and made sure that he checked the evenness of my hair in its natural state. Furthermore, he took an inordinate amount of time to color my hair because I have resistant gray roots. Then he selected the most natural color for my highlights that enhanced my complexion. I am so pleased with my new style and have never been more happy with my cut because it so versatile. Although my hair styling was time consuming, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay – the stylists were gregarious and professional - we chatted, laughed and snacked on cake and they even had a vendor to stop by and take orders and deliver lunch. I decided to invest in a good cut and style. Gustavo’s is well worth the investment. Pros: Great cut, color and and highlights Cons: You get what you pay for! It's an investment! more

IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP 7/23/2010

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE, THE ATTENTION, QUALITY OF SERVICE AND PRODUCTS AND THEIR COURTESY. JUST GO THERE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!!! Pros: THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!! Cons: WHAT CONS? :) more

Best Highlights EVER!!! 7/17/2010

I was a first timer to highlights and I was terrified that I would look fake or with unnatural skunk stripes or something. Gustavo, with his usual brilliant ease assured me that he would do everything in his power to avoid that! AND he did. To make sure they came out perfect, he spent 5 HOURS on my hair, laboriously dividing everything into sections to make it look natural. And I am so so so happy with the results-thrilled actually. You can see the highlights but everyone just thought I had been in the sun and remarked that they were caramel colored-the exact shade I had asked Gustavo for! If that's not a mark of a genius I dont know what it! GO HERE! YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT!! Monica Pros: amazing friendly stylists Cons: non! more

Thanks Gus, my hair rocks! 7/8/2010

Love my haircut and highlites. Hair lays easy. Martha is very happy ;) Thank you Gus. Pros: The guy really knows his stuff Cons: Takes longer than other places more

great cut 6/26/2010

Sorry gustavo it took so long for me to respond . I have very fine thin hair and gustavo is helping me grow it out which it has nicely! I have 2 little kids and my hair takes me maybe 10 min. to do and it looks great. I Just had my hair done for a second time with Gustavo and I am even more pleased than the first time. I let some of my layers grow out ,like he said, and it looks great! I have an easy wash and go hair for a busy mom! Don't think twice about going to see him. I have been to many places! You won't be disappointed! Pros: easy styling more

**Trust the reviews and go** Best haircut EVER! 6/10/2010

I was in need of a haircut and wanted something that really WOWED me. My best friend told me she had come across amazing reviews about GB so I decided to go for it . I arrived to a friendly and polite gentlemen at the front desk, a glass of refreshing water and met with Gustavo. I took him a picture since I am extremely picky and as I explained exactly what I wanted, he asked questions and knew just what I was going for. I left the salon with a very layered haircut with beautiful side swept very feathery bangs--just the way I wanted it. Absolutely Gorgeous! I get compliments on my cut all the time and my husband loves my new look too!! Now all my friends are booking to get “the cut” from Gustavo. Thank You Gustavo!!!! You are truly talented and beyond pleasant! Natalie A. Garcia-Miami, FL Pros: Best haircut EVER! more

Hair Studio 5/26/2010

I have always used the top stylists in Beverly Hills. Recently, I had the opportunity to ask Gustavo to create a look for me. As I walked into my office, everyone stopped to exclaim how they were impressed by my new image. I simply replied that I used Gustavo. I recommend The Gustavo Briand Studio above all. Few people can utilize talent from across the country. I may need to fly to Florida for my next visit. Although, I would appreciate Mr. Briand taking the time to travel West again. Pros: Ultimate hair style Cons: I live in Southern California: Have to schedule travel more

Only been once & hooked. 5/22/2010

I'd like to start by saying that this salon is extremely well-kept, supplied with wonderful products, and has a truly courteous staff. I have previous experience working in salons and I must tell you they are not only efficient but also effective (rare find). I've only been to this salon once and that was almost exactly 4 weeks ago. I'm a natural brunette but I was blonde as a child, therefore, highlights compliment me well. However, I went in there with orange/yellow highlights and really depressed about my hair. The male at the front desk was absolutely wonderful, as was Gustavo and Cristian. Cristian provided a color overhaul on my hair and I walked out with the best color I've had in YEARSSS!! He did a great job on my blow-dry as well! The only con for ME is: PRICE. My issue is that I was a loyal customer to my previous stylist who provided wonderful highlights, cut, & blowdry for $200 (was not employed with him- saw him for 4 years until he moved to Greece in 2009). With that being said, I have a certain budget I truly need to remain within. Now, the front desk at Gustavo's salon quoted me $225-$250 for a full head of highlights and a blowdry- with NO cut (I accepted that because of the reviews I saw on here). However, I was then charged $295 at checkout. As I previously stated, I have worked in a salon and I know how next to IMPOSSIBLE it is to quote accurately over the phone (you have no idea what a new customer looks like over the phone), therefore, I cannot hold that against the salon. Nonetheless, they are a fantastic, wonderful, amazing salon, and I have been trying to get my mother and dear friend to see them! The only kink I need to adjust is: price/service I choose to compliment my budget. The reason I stress so much emphasis on a marriage between the two, is because I know how HARD it is to find a salon like this one, and a stylist like Cristian. Pros: Cristian is truly wonderful with color. Cons: Their price/my budget conflict. more

Thank You Gus, you are the BEST! 5/21/2010

I've never had anyone understand my idiotic descriptions of what I want my hair to do like Gustavo. The guy is the haircut and highlights "KING", he can work miracles with colors, foils and whatever God knows he does with my hair. They are so good at working with my weird schedule!. I would (and do) recommend to anyone! Also nice is the fact that you can book your appointment online. I made Gustavo wrong for doing my brazilian relaxer, as always... he was right... I LOVE IT! I can say enough about how many compliments I have gotten, sorry Gus, I LOVE IT, LOVE IT! Gustavo Briand Studio IS the place! THANK YOU! Pros: My hair has never looked better. Cons: parking/ no privacy. more

Great styling, but disappointed by my color 5/5/2010

I have been getting my hair highlighted for most of my life. i am a natural blonde and am very careful to keep my hair looking natural. I think its worth it to go spend top dollar for the right hair color. I just moved to Miami, away from my beloved colorist in New York. In a pinch, I decided to book a color appt. at Gustavo Briand. Everyone was so sweet at the salon. i felt right at home and within minutes of being in the salon, I could see it being my new home! i got my hair colored and blown out and it looked ok, but there wasnt that wow factor I usually have after getting my color. At any rate, I lpaid and left without a word. It was later that I got home and realized that the color was applied about a centimeter from my scalp. This is why I wasnt pleased in the salon. A blow dry can hide this a litttle bit on blondes, but the next day it was apparent. the color i had just gotten, and paid $200.00 for looked like i had gotten it done weeks ago. On top of this, after my wash in the salon, the stylist proceeded to pull the brush through my long strands with force starting at the top, or midway and breaking everything in his path. i kept flinching unintentionally because i felt like my hair was being man handled. Now, i have these broken hairs all over my head. I am a blonde, as i mentioned, so light really picks up these broken pieces. Finally, the icing on the cake, another stylist asked if i would do her a favor and sit for her while she applied eye lash extensions on me. She was new to it and wanted to try on a human. I said I had a girlfriend that would be interested. i gave my friend the salons number and she called. The stylist took back everything she said and wanted to charge my friend full price! Even though she was in training. At this point I was done with the salon. Back to trying to find the right colorist. Maybe Oribe. Its really too bad because I genuinely liked everyone at Gustavo until I actually got in the chair. Pros: great styling, blowout Cons: color more

The BEST haircut and color I have ever had! 5/4/2010

I am a Boston resident who lived in Miami temporarily... I needed a haircut and color so I began to search for a good Miami salon. I read several reviews that stated that Gustavo Briand Studio is the best so I made an appointment. I was pleased beyond belief! Gustavo gave me the best haircut I have ever had in my life! The color was also perfect. He is a master in the art of hair cutting, coloring, and styling. My hair has never been so easy to style. The cut is so precise that it literally "falls into place". My boyfriend even noticed claiming that my hair was "falling beautifully around my face"... not something he would usually notice or say so it is a true testament to Gustavo's skills! I was visiting Miami recently and made sure I went back for another haircut. He is truly the best and his staff is superb. Pros: Small, intimate salon setting; incredibly friendly staff Cons: None! more

Low Quality 4/27/2010

I had both a cut and color done at this salon. Neither were what I had asked for, though the color was done well. The problem was that it was much, much more color than I had asked for, which means that instead of natural-looking highlights, my hair color appears to have changed, and I will have obvious roots when my hair grows. The real problem, however, was with the pricey haircut. I have very thick hair, and I specifically said that I did not want layers, especially short ones, because in the humidity they simply puff up and the cut looks terrible. Ignoring me, Patricia cut very short layers throughout my hair, though not evenly, and she used either the wrong scissors or wrong angle, because the short layers look terribly frayed. While this might work to help add volume to thin, limp hair, that technique cannot be applied to all types of hair, which she should know for the prices that she charges. When I left the salon, I wasn't initially disappointed because she took about an hour to blow dry it and flat-iron it so that the mistakes didn't show. The cut actually looked good, until I had to wash and style it myself. I don't have hours to spend each morning ironing my hair, and I never had to do it before, but now I've already had to go to another salon to fix Patricia's mistakes. I would not recommend seeing her, and frankly, any salon that ignores what you ask for is not operating properly. Pros: Environmentally friendly Cons: Quality of the haircut more

My hair was never so straight and beautiful. 2/16/2010

I got the Brazilian Keratin relaxer (which I was afraid what It would do to my hair) and blonde highlights from Gustavo about a month ago and I simply can't say enough! Though he hadn't done my hair before, he blended the new highlights PERFECTLY (they were very chunky before.) He first suggested doing the Brazilian Relaxer but when I told him I was on a budget he was SO ACCOMMODATING did not do my base color that I always get, and wove 3 different colors of the most beautiful highlights I've ever had. I've been getting my hair highlighted for about 3 years now, everywhere from New York to Los Angeles (and I always do plenty of research to find the best places) but still these are probably the BEST I've had yet! They're warm, golden, shiny, beautiful highlights. I get so many compliments! He also recomended NouNou conditioner from Davines with my highlights and me hair feels so healthy, that Brazilian relaxer is the bomb!. I live in NY for the summer but I'm seriously considering making the trip to South Beach when it's time to get my hair done again. I forgot all my friends cant stop complimenting my new straight hair and color and my husband... LOVES it! The staff is so friendly, they all make you feel so welcome, like at home. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You guys! Pros: I adore Gustavo and his work Cons: I live in New York more

CRISTIAN IS THE BEST COLORIST/AND BLOW DRY AROUND 2/16/2010

I am by far the pickiest person on earth when it comes to hair, I can not tell you how many different people I have been to in NYC, Boca Raton and Miami that did OK jobs but nothing that kept me coming. However, I got frustrated and decided to try a place on citysearch after reading a thousand different reviews on different salons I came here. I was scared out of my mind to allow someone I had never met, redue my entire color. My hair was constantly turning a yellow after my color was done before, and coming in it was the most yellow it had been, but after 3 hours of highlights, full color and a blowdry I could not have felt like the person I have always wanted to feel like. MY COLOR WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING! my friends all freaked out, and I could not have felt more beautiful. I became so obsessed that I will not let ANYONE else touch my color, or blow dry my hair. I am here at least once every 2 weeks, he is unreal amazing and anyone who does not allow him to do your color your out of your mind, he should be working with celebrities and never be available. GO TO HIM you will not regret it. I have also seen him do unbelievable wedding hair, and extensions while I have been waiting. So definitley give it a shot, I know its scary but trust me youll be so glad you took a risk! Pros: EVERYTHING Cons: NONE more

I Feel Fabulous! 12/11/2009

I was recently referred to the Gustavo Briand Salon by a friend, as I was feeling run down and my hair was a mess! Thanks to Gustavo, I walked out of the salon with a gorgeous haircut and my spirits lifted! Gustavo and the staff are amazingly kind and their attention to detail was incredible. I felt like a queen! Thanks to everyone at the Gustavo Briand Salon. I will highly recommend your services to my friends and family. Happy holidays! Pros: Open and willing to make me happy Cons: None that I could see more

Gustavo=Genuis 12/3/2009

Best Eyelash Extensions and Highlights 12/2/2009

Well I have used city search before but never did a review. I felt compelled to do it now because of the wonderful experience I had with Alexandra and Gustavo. I have had my lashes done before but in LA. I can't believe the difference in these lashes! First of all Alexandra took so much time with me before, just talking about which set would be the best for me. That's a first, most places I have been to don't even ask what length you want. I really wanted a double extreme but Alexandra said no, it was too much so we decided on a set and a half extreme. She did it butterfly style which is gorgeous longer on the outter corners to make eyes stand out. I love them so much. Her service is fabulous and her space is way mellow. Absolutely no pressure to buy anything or get a more expensive set (actually the opposite, she talked me out of the more expensive one) Her work is just like art. Gustavo the brother did the BEST highlights downstairs at Gustavo Briand Studio, you guys deserved my review! Can't recommend her enough. Super nice people. Pros: Never been so pleased with Eyelash Extensions and Highlights Cons: NONE! more
