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...

The Best in Town 6/11/2008

This salon is very small, difficult to find, but the service is excellent. I have very long curly hair and they really took their time. A friendly guy: Cristian, did my color, which came out beautiful -better than ever-, and Gustavo did my haircut which came out very stylish. I think they are the BEST in town. This was my first time ever going to this Studio, and I am definitely going back. I have recommended this salon to all friends. I can not say enough good things about them, and their prices are very reasonable! R. F. more

Servicio exelente, super amigable para nosotros los turistas. 6/11/2008

Me entere de este salon gracias a esta pagina, ya que soy turista y no tenia ni idea donde arreglarme a ultimo momento un sabado. El personal fue increible en acomodarme rapidamente, sin haber tenido turno. El trato fue genial, super amistoso super chevere! Cristian hizo mi color, y la verdad que fue mejor que el que me hacen siempre en mi pais, me aconcejo super bien con el tono correcto que hace juego con mi piel, cambie totalmente mi color anterior, y todos me dicen que hice un cambio espectacular...gracias Cristian ....estoy anonadada!!! Quisiera poder llevarme la tintura.......y a Cristian tambien!! Gustavo (el propio duen-o) fue genial, aconcejandome con nuevos estilos muy modernos, y siempre al servicio del cliente, super amable. La verdad que recomiendo este lugar, y volvere si Dios quiere, siempre que vuelva a South Beach. Gracias Estudio y gracias a City Search por tener tan buen servicio. Patricia Bumbula. more

Good Hair Day Every Day. 6/3/2008

I wanted to try something new, so I?ve decided to visit Gustavo Briand salon, since it is winner as best hair, which is located near my house. I?ve asked for an appointment with the creative director. I was then offered service by Gustavo Briand himself. I was pleasantly surprised by his approach during my initial consultation. I gave him full discretion as to the look he wanted to create. From start to finish I was treated to my highest expectation and Gustavo transformed my look into exactly desired hairstyle. I?m very pleased that I was able to find someone who has a vision and who knows how to create appropriate finish for ones face. I?m recommending him to everyone who wants to evolve his or her hairstyle to the next level. Pros: Lovely space, friendly staff, extremely professional more

Awesome Results. 5/23/2008

I read all of the reviews this people got, I went this morning to have my hair cut and color. The moment you walk in you feel at ease and welcome. The LONG consultation made me dizy, but I finally got that what I wanted was very cool, but not what I needed. I play in a band, and need something very versatile for my office work. Well done, Patricia gave me a great cut & Cristian gave me an owesome color. Gustavo the owner was very nice. At lunch time my co-workers filled me with compliments, my girlfriend is in Tokio and saw me via messenger and loves the change. Will come back for sure. Pros: They listen, warm experience. Cons: Had to circle a bit for parking. more

Best costumer service, best work on the Beach. 5/23/2008

I was fortunate enough to bump into Gustavo Briand Studio, I went to so many places in Miami and Miami Beach, one despointment after the other. Cristian did my color and highlights, and Gustavo did my haircut. The color I got was so beautifull, the higlights so delicate and natural. The haircut was magical to say the list, I dont even have to style it anymore, I just towel dry it and I get compliments, lol Also, I never been to a salon in which the owner Gustavo was so attentive, cared for me, and game water and went personally to buy my lunch at Joe Allens, it took several hours but was worth it, oh, they have WIFI, I was able to do my work on my laptop. Thank you guys, you trully got a costumer for life. I you are reading this review, please just go to this guys, they know what are they doing. Thank you! Pros: Best costumer service, well located, WIFI. Cons: It takes a bit longer than other places. more

horrible 5/22/2008

my girlfriend went in and got her hair done by the owner, he did such a terrible job on her hair that she was depressed and crying about it all night, she's a beautiful olive skinned beauty, this guy made her hair pale white on top of that the hair is very dry, it seems unrepairable, beware of these people, they dont know what they are doing.... Pros: none Cons: bad experience, no refund, bad work, big egos, stay away at all costs more

Felt At Home 5/13/2008

I have been other salons listed on City Search's top 5, and this salon is the only one that blew me away! Much to my surprise, I called Gustavo's around 11am and got an appointment on the same day for color, highlights, cut &style... I was nervous as I walked into his beautiful salon and thought that I would be greeted with snooty looks, and have to deal with a bigheaded stylist... I could never have been more wrong! Everyone in this salon is so down to earth, and truly genuine. When I got there I had this idea to go blonde because I wanted to change my look completely. Gustavo looked at my complexion, my dark curly hair, and said, "I don't think that's a good idea." Thank God that I took his advice! Sure, he could have taken my money and just done what I had asked of him, but he was more considerate to what would look good on me and didn't want me to be a slave to my hair. Patricia is a master cutter! It has been a month since she cut my hair, and I still get compliments on it! I know this may sound weird, but my hair is actually longer now than when I first went in! They were all very attentive to my needs. They worried about the time I had left on my car, and put more quarters in it for me; they even brought me this amazing panini for lunch. I love this place, and I will definitely come back... this time I will talk Gustavo into going just a little lighter. lol Pros: Feels like they are your personal hairdressers! Cons: A bit pricey, but well worth it! more

Yeah... found my hair stylist for a perfect hair cut! 4/30/2008

It was difficult leaving my premier hairdresser of 6 yrs as I moved from NYC to Miami Beach (husband's just-don't-understand...). I visited one with the disappointing result of waiting a month to grow-out the damage-done. I was relieved and elated to discover The Gustavo Briand Studio. I relax and permit his artistic creativity design a style complimenting my face and personality. Each perfection cut permits me to look good awaking and most importantly, after that first 'tell-all' shampoo (know-you-know what I'm talk'n 'bout). Six weeks later and still look'n fine. Got my compliments from husband, friends and strangers. Definitely found my place! Gustavo's team pampers in a wellness environment at TerraPass standards. Check-it-out! Pros: Extremely talented, highly professional people knowing their profession! Cons: Tried to come up with a con but can't find one! more

Let Out Your Inner Diva 4/29/2008

If you are looking to let out that inner diva that has been dying to come out, Gustavo will find it. His talent with hair is equally matched by his innate kindness and warm spirit. I met Gustavo at a New World Symphony function (I used to play bassoon in the orchestra) after a concert at the Carnival Center. We chatted it up at the bar and he was very friendly and told me I should come in and get a haircut. Little did I know I was going to enter a pristine atmosphere fine Italian furniture, beautiful sparkling floors and a perfect chandelier that gives it that extra touch of class. At Gustavo Briand studios only the best of quality is found and as an artist I know how to discern the difference. I regard Gustavo more than just my hairstylist but also as a friend. I don't live in Miami Beach anymore but whenever I am down there, I make sure to visit him because it is not every day you feel like a million bucks. Thank you Gustavo for all the wonderful memories!!! Pros: What is not to love??? Cons: Parking but that's just a Miami Beach epidemic! more

Highlights, Extensions, and Boutique-Chic is cool... But what about a Man that just wants a cut? 4/15/2008

Situated in a more quiet and sophisticated area of Miami Beach, The Gustavo Briand Studio is comprised of all the essential qualities you'd expect to see in a timidly humble Miami Beach salon. You're greeted with smiles and charisma from every angle, something that's only followed by a soothing shampoo and offer of a cool beverage. The decor is quaint and minimalist, and you almost feel like you're in a miniature New York style hair-salon. Now fellas, don't be shy if you don't consider yourself the most artistically inclined individual, or if you really have nothing to say about incoming and outgoing hair trends. I guess this is one of the things I worry about most when I want to indulge in some more upscale enviornments. Trust me when I say, you're not going to be surrounded by a hoard of snooty elitists, and you will most definitely not get the face of death when you say "well I'd just like a trim". Instead, consider it a place where the locals like to keep it their little secret. A place where they can casually walk in and be certain that their stylists KNOW hair. In regards to the stylists themselves, Patricia as was especially kind and tending to my needs. She made sure that she delivered the cut that I wanted, instead of styling my hair the way that she wanted to (which is probably the most common complaint about a hair stylist). Overall guys, if you're looking for class, professionalism, and just a simply thorough hair-cut, search no longer, Gustavo Briand Studio is ready to make you look your best! Pros: Read above Cons: None more

Received compliment on cut the next day after taking 2 hour windy boat tour and 4 hour drive 4/9/2008

I booked an appointment with Gustavo to fix a bad haircut. I have very thick, wavy hair that currently isn't in the best condition, even after cutting off over 12" last fall. I spent hours reading many salon reviews and felt most confident with calling his salon. Much to my happiness, Gustavo came in 45 minutes earlier than the salon normally opens so I could pick up my husband at the airport on time later that morning. I left the style in Gustavo's hands and I am pleased with what he did. I have many different options on how I can wear it. The atmosphere was very comfortable, I enjoyed our conversations and I felt he gave me great customer service. The cost was about twice what I have paid in the past at other salons but my expectations of getting what I was paying for were met. I haven't been complimented on my hair since two years ago...until last week. The day after I saw Gustavo I was on a two hour boat tour in the Key West in very windy conditions (so windy the captain couldn't go to the reef they normally do in the Atlantic). I didn't have time to wash or really style my hair that day and then took a short nap on the 4 hour drive home before stopping at a grocery store around 9 PM. I was very surprised to have the woman behind me compliment me on my hair after all that. Made me feel quite nice! Thank you Gustavo for an all-over wonderful experience and cut! I'll be back. Pros: Easy parking, very nice atmosphere, great customer service Cons: None more

Finally, something in Miami that is the whole package. Best Salon for sure. 3/31/2008

I have lived in Miami for a year and a half and tried many of the salons listed on this "Best of" site. I had so many "worst cuts of my life" experiences, I was beginning to loose hope. It was only adding to my belief that true quality in anything is lacking in Miami. Anyway, I was wrong. Gustavo's is the real deal. Pactricia is great. She really listened. She asked questions to better understand what I wanted in a cut. She spent time with me and worked to make each hair perfect. She and Gustavo were trained in the Vidal Sasoon precision cutting manner, which I love, and they have created a salon that is tailored to the client and customer service. They care very much about giving you the haircut of your dreams. You can tell that they have integrity and a belief that each cut represents their product. Not only did I feel welcomed, listened to, and knew that I had Patricia's undivided attention, but I realized I also had a talented, well-trained, perfectionist trying to make me as beautiful and as happy as she could---the perfect combination. This salon is the whole package. I will definitely be back. Thank you Patricia for your commitment to quality and to making me feel comfortable and beautiful. I can't wait for my next visit :) Pros: great location, friendly, excellent product Cons: none more

Best highlights EVER 3/21/2008

By far the best salon I have been to. I have lived in Miami for over 20 years and I have never been treated with such care and expertise at a salon. Gustavo is a master of color....my highlights are amazing and so natural...he did them so meticulously and carefully, I was very impressed....not like other places where they are hurrying to get to the next customer...my haircut after five weeks looks like I just got it cut...the staff is very professional and skilled. Everyone is very nice and always attentive to your needs, whether it be food, beverage, temperature, comfort...altogether a FABULOUS visit. I highly recommend this salon. more

Awesome Salon! Can't beat this!! 3/7/2008

I have had long hair ever since I can remember, and I recently decided I was over due for a change. I found the salon online after searching for a month and reading the great reviews about the salon and it's stylists...especially Patricia. As soon as I walked through the salon door I was promptly greated by the friendly staff and made to feel as if I was at home. Patricia was personable and was genuinely interested in giving me a haircut that would coincide which my daily activities, personality, and face shape. I explained to her that I wanted a change from my usual long locks and she suggested a Bob style hair cut. I thought the idea was great and put my trust in her. My haircut with Patricia went magnificent to say the least, and I can honestly say I've never had a cut so detailed. She cut it while wet, and then after blowdrying it, she went back and perfected her masterpiece. What she did for me and my hair was a transformation, I came out looking 100% new and improved. What I loved the most, aside from my new look, was Patricia's professionalism and how she truly made cutting hair into an art. I will be going back to her for my future haircuts, for there is no one else I'd trust to cut my hair from now on. Thank you Patricia!! more

Absolutely best customer service and quality hair service you will find anywhere! 3/6/2008

First of all, I have to start out by saying that I've trusted my hair to one stylist in my hometown for the past 10 years. I got sick of traveling back only to get my hair done, plus there was so much time in between my hair started to look dowdy at best. I did some searching, and I found this salon appealing because of what people have said previously and also from their approach. Going to a salon where everything is rushed and no one cares about you gets really old really quick. This place is the exact opposite! EVERYONE who walked out of the salon in the time I was there kept raving about how they looked and how much better they felt about themselves, and hugged and kissed everyone goodbye. Not only that, every person had a cut that fit their face and personality. You get the haircut that you always needed, but never got. There were guys and ladies (young and old) leaving with smiles on their faces. Gustavo is a color master, and also does cuts (although he didn't cut my hair), and honestly takes the time to understand your personality and what your hair needs to do for you in terms of work and your lifestyle. Patricia is a precision cutting queen who really listens to everything you have to say and does a fantastic job of taking what you say and turning it into exactly what you envisioned. I personally brought in a photo of what i wanted, and she made it work. Both of them work in tandem to create a masterpiece you get to live with every day! (and get compliments on because you look so hot). On top of everything else, their salon is environmentally friendly and so are their hair products. I really urge all of you to try them for that change you need in your hair, or to make you feel better about the way you look. The entire salon is dedicated to your happiness, how many other salons do the same? Pros: incredible customer service and amazing hair results Cons: absolutely nothing more

best highlights EVER. Great hair care. 3/2/2008

I have long hair and I am verrry picky with it. I used to work as a host on tv so I had a lot of work in my hair and color ,I decided either I take a good care or else cut it short. I invest a lot in products and care., I used to trust inly ONE saloon (french one) for highlights and it was in Mexico. So I travelled there every two months. But then I started to look for one in Miami since I live here. I read all the reviews and decided to give it a try. There are all true. It is EXECELLENT. I got there at 4 and walk out at 10 pm. They did a very professional, detail work. Very natural . Patricia did an amazing work cutting my hair in a sexyway, with a lot of volume and movement. but still long. They are the Best. No way you can go wrong. And service is amazing too. Pros: great for hightlights and haircut Cons: no manicure more

amazing highlights and hair cut 3/2/2008

I found gustavo briand salon on this wesbite and decided to go because of all the rave reviews and now I'm so glad /I went straight to them instead of trying someone else. I needed a retouch on my bleached highlights, The previous job I wasn't so crazy about.. Nobody before could ever really quite get the right shade of blonde that I wanted and the highlights were a little too thick. Gustavo did perfectly thin and natural highlights. and it came out to be the most beautiful color I've ever seen my hair look.. Particia cut my hair after and gave it a beautiful clean shape and style. I was very happy with the results. The customer service was great and everyone was so nice and attentive. I'll definetly be a regular customer! more
