Best

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...

Worst

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...

Gustavo Briand is the best 12/2/2009

I currently drive 2 hours (one way) for an "Gustavo cut," and would never think of changing. He takes time to listen and is so skilled at creating the best look for any type of hair. Whether you are looking for a trim or a total change, Gus is the best! Pros: Too many Cons: Parking does not look good for eve. appointments more

great hair 12/1/2009

gustavo, christian, patricia and all staff are great. Make you feel welcome and will run coins to the meter if you remember to tell them to. They care about your hair. They ask questions and look at pictures with you and give great color and hair cuts and I get compliments on my hair. I am trying to let it grow out a bit but I love the cut Gustavo does and Christian too is very careful with your hair. Thanks guys and see you real soon! Pros: treat you like a queen and do great hair Cons: expensive and parking meters to worry about more

Did try this place by the owners responses alone! 12/1/2009

was looking for a new salon for roots, highlights, & cut. I noticed that the owner answers every unsatisfied customer & tries to resolve it. That says a lot to me.~ I had a horrible experience at a nearby Salon on Purdy Ave. I spent over $200 on a nightmarish experience, "won't bore you" then another $200 to fix their mistakes! The other "Owner" never had the decency to get back to me. I tried Gustavo Briand Studio and I LOVED IT! AND as I promised I am writing a review~ Pros: Owner fixes unhappy customers Cons: none yet more

Thank You Gustavo for 12 years of good hair. 11/30/2009

Gustavo has been styling my hair since 1997 from Vidal Sassoon… I have followed him to different salons and he has even made house calls. As a very picky customer I am always impressed with his results. Gustavo has made me look like a natural chocolate/caramel Brunette, as well as a bright (not bleached!) Blonde. I have fine hair that is easily damaged, so instead of over-processing my hair quickly, like most stylists (time is $), he allows the color to process correctly, keeping my hair healthy! he is the only stylist who doesn't make my hair break off when I go blonde and who can layer and style my hair to look thick and full. Gustavo is not only talented, with experience and training at some of the most respected salon in the World (Vidal Sassoon...), he is also a delight to be around for your time in the chair! ... did I mention his prices? they went up, and they are SO WORTH IT! (Now that he is "Famous in Allure Magazine") Lol, just kidding you are So worth it Gus! Thank you Gustavo and Staff. Pros: Quality Extraordinaire Cons: New Shop New Price more

Classy, expensive and Great! 11/19/2009

A co worker of mine recommended this place to me, for my boyfriend to get his haircut at. It's actually pretty pricey! but I'd say it was well worth the money! It was a GREAT haircut, the service & Gustavo were all nice (offer you coffee or water as you wait, etc). The atmosphere is REALLY clean and friendly. Gustavo was EXCELLENT! We will definetely be back for him again! I myself will get a haircut with Gus next week. The bad thing is that we had to park on the street. If you ever have to park on the street, make you you're on top of paying your meter, those parking ticketers will REALLY be on the watch out there! Pros: Great Stylist Cons: Watch the Meters outside! more

Much needed confident booster 11/16/2009

I had my hair cut for the first time from Gustavo at his Salon. All my friends love my hair! I got so many compliments. I absolutely love it, and its easy to do by myself! It's a much needed improvement for me. My hair has been so plane jane for too long. I finally decided why not try something new. One of the girls in my yoga class said she gets her hair done at Gustavo's so I decided to try it. The salon is conveniently located around the corner from the Venetian Cwy and Purdy Ave, so it's easy to get to. From the moment I got in, the staff were really friendly. Gustavo's assistant Matthew took care of me from the moment I entered until the time I checked out. It was a great salon experience for me and a change that I needed badly. Thanks to Gustavo and his gracious staff I am no longer looking and feeling blah. I will go back again, and also thinking about the Keratine Relaxer, I will let you know. Pros: You wont believe how easy is to blow dry your hair after! Cons: NONE! more

Gustavo and all the Great Staff @ GB Studio 11/11/2009

For him to understand exactly the hair cut I wanted and to make it a reality made my experience at GBS so much better. All of the compliments and attention I received after my GBS experience made me so happy. I have tried so many different salons but could never find the right hair dresser who would take the time and listen to my hair needs. Gustavo not only put a lot of effort and detail into my hair-cut, the conversation left me inspired and both made me feel so much younger. "Gracias Gustavo and Staff" Pros: Exceptional hair-stylist for exceptional hair.... Cons: Once you go there you always have to go back... more

Great Place. 11/10/2009

I have been going to Gustavo's for over a year now. Every visit the service is impeccable and my haircuts are great, it is very difficult to find a good barber in Miami. The staff there is more than accommodating and are not only professional, but friendly. I have even bought gift certificates for my employees and everyone has been beyond satisfied. All in all, it has taken me many years to find a great haircut, and the atmosphere helps too. Thank you guys. Pros: Great Place, Friendly, Amazing Haircuts Cons: none more

Great Cut, Awesome Conversation. 11/9/2009

Gustavo is the best. Always smiling and happy. Puts you in a good mood. Gustavo's conversation leaves you very refreshed (He is a great Therapist, LOL) Sorry Gustavo you are...Great atmosphere and pleasant employees. I've been to other cutters(out of necessity) and no one cuts like Gustavo. Keep up the good work. Pros: Gustavo's conversation Cons: NOTHING more

My Hair is Finally happy! 11/6/2009

I've been in the Miami area for almost 10 years, and hadn't ever managed to find a stylist that I was completely happy with. I was mildly satisfied by some, and , frankly, horrified by others (Why don't stylists listen to their customers?!). Anyway, that all changed last week when I saw Gustavo at Gustavo Briand Studio. He took the time to listen to what I wanted, and proceeded to give me exactly that. My hair looks perfect, it's just the shade I wanted, and the haircut looked great when he was done and looks even better a week later! What was also very important to me was the way I felt so relaxed. The salon has a laid-back atmosphere and everyone is super-friendly. On top of all of that, I spent less at Gustavo Briand Studio than I have at pretty much every other salon I've visited! (Even the horrifying ones) Pros: Friendly, Professional Cons: Gustavo is always booked in the eves! more

Love my Brazilian relaxer Gus! 11/6/2009

Ok first off... I was so confused on where to go considering there are about a million hair salons in Miami. So I did a little reading here on city search, I read alot of the reviews and came to the decision of trying sit still. I have coarse long hair and its always hard to find someone who knows how to control the frizz. I was introduced to the brazillian blowout by the most amazing stylist "Gustavo" . The process was about 2 hours and OMG I can not even describe the restult. My hair is baby soft...smooth...no frizz and best of all i didnt even need my hair cut because it smoothed out those ends. AMAZING...ok im sending everyone I know to "Gustavo Briand Studio". The experience was fantastic ...everyone was friendly from my initial greeting to the kind person who kept looking after me. Pros: Best fro the Price Cons: Parking could be full in meters more

BEST HAIRCUT EVER 5/2/2009

Patricia is meticulous--she spent two hours on me and gave me the best haircut I've ever had. I brought in a picture of what I wanted my hair to look like and it ended up looking exactly how I wanted it! Take it from someone who has tried like every salon in south florida...you won't get service like this anywhere else! Pros: everything Cons: nothing more

Gorgeous Hair FINALLY 3/31/2009

I first visited Gustavo Briand after thoroughly reading all of the reviews on CitySearch and I was not disappointed. I loved the family atmosphere that greeted me upon entering the studio and how I was treated as an important guest. I had the pleasure of working with Cristian for color and Patricia for my cut. Never before had I experienced such a team effort between a colorist and stylist and the results showed what a powerful combination it is. Oh, and they use natural products that will not damage your hair or the environment. I have been back 3 times to Gustavo Briand and every time I visit, I am treated with the same attention as the first time. Moreover, I always leave knowing that my hair style/color is exactly what I was looking for even though I may not have been able to articulate it clearly when I arrived there. My last visit on Saturday has resulted in a major transformation in my look (color, style and length) and every client in the studio complimented me on my look, not to mention my family and friends. It is amazing what the right color and cut can do for your self-esteem when other people stop to appreciate your hair and mention how it makes your face look like it is glowing. Who knew that when I walked out of Gustavo Briand, that I would have walked out not only with gorgeous hair, but also a glowing and bright complexion! Please, check out Gustavo Briand and I assure you that when you pay the bill, you know that was well worth every penny! Pros: Get exactly what you want Cons: Pricey more

Awesome haircut and color!! 2/24/2009

About two months ago I could not stand my hair. It was medium brown and curly/wavy. The bottom layer was extremely damaged as a result of me straightening it and i had probably about 90% split ends. I have also been trying to dye my hair red from a box for the past year or two but the color was never what I wanted. At Gustavo Briand, Cristian did an amazing job on the color. He did a full head of color with highlights and lowlights. He made it look very natural and the color has been as vibrant as it was two months ago. Patricia styled my hair. I brought in a picture of a cut i thought would look great, but she took the time to explain to me why the cut wouldn't be manageable for my hair type. She did her own version of the style in the picture and made it fit me. The results were even better than the picture. Pros: the best haircut and color i have ever had. Cons: a little pricey, but definitely worth it. more

Don't believe all these positive reviews! 2/21/2009

Don't go here. It is over-priced and i received sub-optimal care for my hair. The service i got did NOT fit with ALL those postive reviews. i read all the positive reviews and thought this would be a great place to go. in the reviews they talk about how they care about your hair and give you great consultations. NOT TRUE. i had very damaged hair and a very bad haircut and i went in and instead of giving me a holistic hair consult, they set me up with the color guy who tried to sell me the $400 brazilian straightening treatment (that i had read warnings about due to the formaldyhyde which is cancer causing) and told me that my hair looked bad just bc it was frizzy. he gave me an overpriced washout treatment that he said would last 4 wks and only lasted 2 1/2. i had to ASK for an additional conditioning treatment bc i had come in telling them that my hair was damaged. they didn't cut it, didn't care to. well, after my overpriced temporary color washed out my hair was just as bad as before. i went to a salon in coral gables and the person there really helped gave me a cut that would wear better in the miami weather. and the coral gables salon also told me about the cons of the brazilian treatment (it loses efficacy after the first time, so the second time it doesn't straighten as well). something that these guys at Gustavo Briand never bothered to do. Pros: Easy to get an appointment quickly Cons: Bad haircare, overpriced more
