I was lucky to meet Gustavo Briand about 7 years ago when I was blown away by his talent. I never thought much about hair in general and didn't understand why people are so picky, until I feel in his hands. I travel a lot for work, so I have been all over the world and experienced all kinds of salons. But I always try to catch Gustavo wherever he is, as he is irreplaceable.
If you know anything about hair salons you know Vidal Sassoon has a very strict, lengthy and detail training and if you mix that with talent like Gustavo?s, you can?t go wrong. It is hard to make a mistake.
I am so glad to have him back in town and that he FINALLY opened his own salon. He has carefully put together a very gifted team. I experienced Kelly (the colorist) in Chicago and was extremely pleased with her work, she also has a magnetic personality. What a gifted girl! I have seen cases that come in there and don?t know how they are going to fix them, bad haircuts and color from other stylists and they always manage to perform a miracle. Even the young protege Rey is attentive and is very willing to learn as he understands that the education he is getting there is a gift. And his sweet mother doing your nails as you wait for your color.
You can see they love what they do and that they are really take pride in their work. Gustavo Briand Studio radiates his personality, cozy and classy. This salon has a strange effect on you, you never want to leave and a special relationship is created with the GB team. Everyone is so friendly and gifted. Whenever I am there I see people just come by to say Hi and how much they love their hair.
I always leave there satisfied as I know I can just sit on the chair and not have to worry about the results, and when I feel really adventurous I just tell him do something different and I trust is going to look great, and it does!
The prices are a little above average but so is the work you get done. Worth every penny!
Pros: Quality and Friendliness
Cons: Can't get enough of them
