There is no online booking calendar — every request reaches a person, because matching a guest to the right artist and the right amount of time is a judgement call. The form at https://www.spamiamibeach.com/book opens a pre-filled text. Requests naming a specific artist are honored where the schedule allows. Walk-ins are taken when the floor allows; color, keratin, extensions and bridal always need an appointment. Consultations are free, and are how corrective work gets priced. ## Services & Pricing - [The Complete Menu](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/menu): EVERY service and EVERY price on one searchable page — unusual in this market, where most salons quote by phone only - [Precios en español](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/es/precios): The salon's prices, booking, hours and location written in Spanish — 6 of the 14 artists serve guests in Spanish - [Salón de belleza y spa en Miami Beach](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/es): The Spanish-language homepage — services, hours, parking and booking, written in Spanish rather than machine-translated - [Salón de cabello en Miami Beach](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/es/cabello): The hair menu in Spanish — cuts, colour, balayage, keratin and extensions, with the same published prices as the English page - [Price Guide](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/price-guide): What things actually cost in Miami Beach and what moves the number — the explainer to the menu's table.

Limited free parking on site. - [Salon Policies](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/policies): Cancellation, deposit, and gratuity policies ## Neighborhoods We Serve Guests travel to 1301 Alton Rd from across Miami Beach and the mainland. Each page covers the trip, parking and what people from that area book. - [Hair Salon Near South of Fifth](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/south-of-fifth): About a mile south of us — a short drive down Alton, or a genuinely walkable trip if the weather is behaving. - [Hair Salon Near Sunset Harbour](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/sunset-harbour): A few blocks north of us — one of the closest neighborhoods to our door. - [Hair Salon Near West Avenue & Flamingo](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/west-avenue-flamingo): This is our own neighborhood — we are on it. - [Hair Salon Near Lincoln Road](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/lincoln-road): Lincoln Road's western end meets Alton Road, and so do we: walk south down Alton from the end of the mall and you reach our door. - [Hair Salon Near Mid-Beach](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/mid-beach): A straight run south down Alton or Collins — usually well under fifteen minutes. - [Hair Salon Near Venetian Islands](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/venetian-islands): Off the Venetian Causeway and a few blocks south — one of the shortest trips to our chair. - [Hair Salon Near Star, Palm & Hibiscus Islands](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/star-palm-hibiscus-islands): Off MacArthur Causeway and a short run up Alton. - [Hair Salon Near Fisher Island](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/fisher-island): Ferry to Terminal Island, then a short drive up Alton — plan around the ferry, not the traffic. - [Hair Salon Near North Bay Road & La Gorce](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/north-bay-road-la-gorce): Straight down Alton Road — no causeway, no bridge. - [Hair Salon Near Brickell](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/brickell): Over MacArthur Causeway — a straightforward drive outside rush hour. - [Hair Salon Near Downtown Miami & Omni](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/downtown-miami): MacArthur Causeway straight across — one of the shorter mainland trips. - [Hair Salon Near Edgewater](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/edgewater): Over the Julia Tuttle or MacArthur — both work, depending on traffic. - [Hair Salon Near Wynwood & Design District](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/wynwood-design-district): Over the Julia Tuttle or MacArthur, depending on which end you are starting from. ## Service by Neighborhood Where a service and an area genuinely go together — the pages exist only for pairings the neighborhood data already over-indexes for. - [Balayage & Highlights near South of Fifth](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/south-of-fifth/balayage): SoFi books color on a schedule rather than on a whim, and balayage is the one technique that survives a six-week rhythm without a hard regrowth line to chase. It is the reason so many standing appointments here are balayage rather than foils. - [Color Correction near South of Fifth](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/south-of-fifth/color-correction): Living here means the same stylist every six weeks, which is exactly the situation where a correction done badly somewhere else becomes a two-year problem. Most of the correction work we take from SoFi is fixing a holiday appointment made elsewhere. - [HydraFacial near Sunset Harbour](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/sunset-harbour/hydrafacial): The tightest scheduling in our book comes from these few blocks — a treatment between a workout and a dinner reservation. A HydraFacial has no downtime and no redness to plan around, which is why it is the skin service that fits a Sunset Harbour evening. - [Keratin & Smoothing near Sunset Harbour](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/sunset-harbour/keratin): The crowd here is fitting appointments into gaps, and smoothing is the booking that gives time back rather than taking it: twenty minutes off every blow-dry for three months. For a neighborhood that measures its week in windows, that compounds. - [Balayage & Highlights near Mid-Beach](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/mid-beach/balayage): Mid-Beach guests make a deliberate trip and combine services when they do — color and a blowout in one visit. Balayage suits that pattern, because the appointment is longer but you need fewer of them across a year. - [HydraFacial near Mid-Beach](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/mid-beach/hydrafacial): Because the trip is deliberate, skin here is usually booked alongside hair rather than on its own. A HydraFacial runs comfortably in the time a color is processing, which is the single most common Mid-Beach combination in our book. - [Keratin & Smoothing near Mid-Beach](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/mid-beach/keratin): A straight run down Alton or Collins, and a guest who would rather come less often and get more done. Smoothing is the highest-leverage booking on that basis: one appointment that changes every morning for three months. - [Color Correction near Mid-Beach](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/mid-beach/color-correction): Correction needs a consultation before it needs a chair, and Mid-Beach guests are already used to planning the visit rather than dropping in. Send photos first and we will tell you honestly whether it is one appointment or three. - [Balayage & Highlights near Venetian Islands](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/venetian-islands/balayage): One of the shortest trips to our chair, and a neighborly, long-term crowd — the same colorist over years. That is the relationship balayage rewards, because the placement is built on knowing how a specific head of hair has behaved through several summers. - [Balayage & Highlights near Star, Palm & Hibiscus Islands](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/star-palm-hibiscus-islands/balayage): Discretion and consistency, with the same person every time. Hand-painted color is the least interchangeable service we offer: it lives entirely on the judgement of the colorist holding the brush, which is why the standing appointment matters more here than anywhere. - [HydraFacial near Star, Palm & Hibiscus Islands](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/star-palm-hibiscus-islands/hydrafacial): The calendar from these three islands tightens sharply around Art Week and the winter season. Skin booked two or three days before an event photographs the way you want it to; booked the morning of, it does not. - [Balayage & Highlights near Fisher Island](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/fisher-island/balayage): A return trip is not a casual thing when it starts with a ferry, so the appointment has to be right the first time. That means a proper consultation before any significant change, and a technique that grows out gracefully if the next visit is further away than planned. - [HydraFacial near Fisher Island](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/fisher-island/hydrafacial): Ferry, then a short run up Alton — which is why Fisher Island guests book longer, combined visits rather than single services. A HydraFacial slots into a color appointment without extending the day. - [Balayage & Highlights near North Bay Road & La Gorce](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/north-bay-road-la-gorce/balayage): Straight down Alton, no causeway, and relationships that run for years and sometimes across generations. Balayage placed by someone who has watched your hair through several summers is a different service from balayage placed by a stranger. - [Keratin & Smoothing near North Bay Road & La Gorce](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/north-bay-road-la-gorce/keratin): Standing appointments and a short, reliable drive. Smoothing fits that pattern because it is booked three or four times a year rather than monthly, and the appointment can sit alongside the color that is already on the calendar. - [Color Correction near North Bay Road & La Gorce](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/north-bay-road-la-gorce/color-correction): When the same colorist has done your hair for years, the corrections we see from this road are almost always somebody else's work — a holiday appointment, a box in a hurry. Bring photos and the history, and it is usually a shorter road back than people fear. - [Balayage & Highlights near Brickell](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/brickell/balayage): Narrow windows and a causeway between us. Balayage is the color service that respects both: fewer appointments a year than foils, no hard regrowth line if the next one slips by a couple of weeks, and we are open until 9 Thursday through Saturday. - [HydraFacial near Brickell](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/brickell/hydrafacial): Our late hours matter more here than anywhere — open until 9PM Thursday through Saturday and 8PM Tuesday and Wednesday. A HydraFacial after work, with no downtime and nothing to hide the next morning, is the appointment Brickell actually books. - [Color Correction near Brickell](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/brickell/color-correction): A correction is the one appointment you cannot rush, and crossing the causeway twice for it is nobody's plan. Text photos first: you will know before you drive whether this is one long appointment or a plan across two. - [HydraFacial near Downtown Miami & Omni](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/downtown-miami/hydrafacial): Bookings here are shaped by event timing — the Arsht Center, the downtown venues. Skin wants two or three days before the night, not the afternoon of, and a HydraFacial is the treatment that reliably looks better on day three than day one. - [Balayage & Highlights near Downtown Miami & Omni](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/downtown-miami/balayage): Color booked comfortably ahead of an event rather than against it. From the towers it is MacArthur straight across, which makes a longer color appointment more practical than the traffic reputation suggests. - [HydraFacial near Edgewater](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/edgewater/hydrafacial): Edgewater relationships usually start with one service and widen from there, and a HydraFacial is the most common first appointment we see from this side — no downtime, published price, and an honest read on your skin before anything stronger. - [Keratin & Smoothing near Edgewater](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/edgewater/keratin): Once someone from Edgewater has made the trip once, the second booking is nearly always the one that saves time. Smoothing is that booking: the drive is repaid every morning for three months. - [Balayage & Highlights near Wynwood & Design District](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/wynwood-design-district/balayage): More appetite for change than anywhere else in our book — this is where the bolder color originates. Balayage is where that starts, because it can be pushed a long way without the hard line that makes a bold decision hard to walk back. - [Color Correction near Wynwood & Design District](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/wynwood-design-district/color-correction): Bold color and correction are the same conversation from this direction. Vivids fade, bleach stalls at orange, and the way back is a plan rather than a single appointment. We will tell you which before you book. - [Men's Haircuts near West Avenue & Flamingo](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/west-avenue-flamingo/mens-haircuts): This is the only neighbourhood where a men's cut is a Sunday errand rather than an appointment. We are open 11AM-7PM on Sundays and Mondays, when much of Miami Beach is shut, and West Avenue is close enough to walk. A text before you leave tells you whether the chair is free right now. - [Manicures & Pedicures near West Avenue & Flamingo](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/west-avenue-flamingo/nails): Nails before a Friday dinner is the single most common neighbour booking we take, and it is a booking that only works because you live four blocks away. Limited free parking on site. There is enough walk-in room most evenings that the answer to "can you take me now" is often yes. - [Eyebrow Threading near West Avenue & Flamingo](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/west-avenue-flamingo/threading): Threading is a fifteen-minute service, which makes it the one thing genuinely worth stopping in for on the way past. For anyone else it is a trip; from West Avenue it is an errand. One person threads here, so text first to check she is on the floor. - [Men's Haircuts near Venetian Islands](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/venetian-islands/mens-haircuts): A men's cut and a colour appointment back to back is the Venetian booking pattern, because families here come in together rather than separately. Tell us who is coming and what each person needs and we will line the chairs up so you arrive and leave together instead of staggering across an afternoon. - [Manicures & Pedicures near Sunset Harbour](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/sunset-harbour/nails): Gel, specifically, and usually squeezed between a workout and a dinner reservation. Sunset Harbour has the tightest scheduling in our book, which is why express services and same-week availability matter here more than the long-lead bookings we take from the islands. - [Powder Dip Manicures near Sunset Harbour](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/sunset-harbour/powder-dip): The answer for the Sunset Harbour problem, which is not having time to come back. Powder dip outlasts gel by a noticeable margin, so it suits anyone whose calendar makes a three-week return trip unlikely rather than merely inconvenient. - [Hair Extensions near Brickell](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/brickell/extensions): Extensions are one of the services Brickell actually crosses the bridge for -- these are trips made deliberately, for the harder work, not for a trim. Our late hours are the reason it is possible at all: open until 9PM Thursday through Saturday, so a fitting after work is a real option rather than a theoretical one. - [Hair Extensions near Wynwood & Design District](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/wynwood-design-district/extensions): Wynwood has more appetite for change than anywhere else in our book, and extensions are a change of length rather than a maintenance appointment. Art Week concentrates it dramatically -- the calendar tightens around gallery openings, so a fitting wants booking well before the week itself. - [A New Cut near Wynwood & Design District](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/wynwood-design-district/hairstyle-ideas-miami): This is the neighbourhood most likely to arrive with a photograph rather than a request, and a cut here is more often a decision than an upkeep appointment. The idea list is the shortcut: bring a name off it, or bring the picture, and the consultation starts from something concrete. - [Hair Extensions near Star, Palm & Hibiscus Islands](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/star-palm-hibiscus-islands/extensions): Standing appointments and event work dominate this part of our book, and extensions are the service where the same pair of hands matters most -- the match has to be identical every time, which is an argument for consistency rather than convenience. The calendar tightens noticeably around Art Basel and December. - [Dermaplaning & Peels near Star, Palm & Hibiscus Islands](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/star-palm-hibiscus-islands/dermaplaning-and-peels): Booked backwards from a date, almost always. Resurfacing needs a clear runway before an event rather than a rushed week, and the December party season is exactly when this island's calendar compresses. Ask at the consultation how far ahead yours needs to be. - [Dermaplaning & Peels near Fisher Island](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/fisher-island/dermaplaning-and-peels): A ferry each way makes a return trip a real decision, which is the whole argument for a consultation before any resurfacing rather than after. Seasonal residents book heavily through the winter, so the schedule that suits your skin and the schedule that suits the season are worth settling in one conversation. - [Eyebrow Threading near Downtown Miami & Omni](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/downtown-miami/threading): Timed to a curtain rather than to a calendar. Brows before a performance at the Arsht is a twenty-minute stop, which fits the way downtown books -- styling close to the date, colour comfortably ahead of it. One person threads here, so check she is on the floor. - [Manicures & Pedicures near Downtown Miami & Omni](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/downtown-miami/nails): Downtown books around events, and nails are the part that can be left latest. A gel manicure before a performance holds through the evening and the week after it, which is why it tends to be the last thing scheduled before a night at the Arsht rather than the first. - [Manicures & Pedicures near South of Fifth](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/south-of-fifth/nails): SoFi is the neighbourhood most likely to book the next appointment before leaving the chair, and nails are where that rhythm is easiest to keep -- a standing slot every two or three weeks with the same technician, rather than a scramble each time. - [Manicures & Pedicures near Edgewater](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/edgewater/nails): Nails are usually the second thing booked from Edgewater rather than the first. Somebody crosses the causeway for skin or hair, works out that the whole menu sits in one building, and the appointment after that covers more than the trip did. - [Eyebrow Threading near Venetian Islands](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/venetian-islands/threading): Rivo Alto, Di Lido and San Marino all cross the East Venetian drawbridge to reach us, and between 7am and 7pm it opens on the hour and the half hour rather than when you arrive at it. That is a reason not to make the crossing for a fifteen-minute appointment on its own, and a reason to book brows the way they work best anyway — added to the cut or the colour already on the calendar. Threading holds three to five weeks, so each visit is a tidy-up rather than a rebuild, and that rhythm only survives if the trip was one you were making regardless. - [Powder Dip Manicures near Edgewater](https://www.spamiamibeach.com/neighborhoods/edgewater/powder-dip): A lot of Edgewater is still deciding where it goes, and dip is the service where that decision costs least. It is never refilled — new powder over old traps moisture and lifts — so every appointment is a soak-off and a fresh set regardless of who did the last one, which leaves no half-finished work at another salon to walk away from.

A: McAllister Spa is at 1301 Alton Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33139. Limited free parking on site. - Q: What are McAllister Spa's hours? A: Monday and Sunday 11AM–7PM, Tuesday and Wednesday 9AM–8PM, and Thursday through Saturday 9AM–9PM. McAllister Spa is open 7 days a week. - Q: Is McAllister Spa open on Sundays and Mondays? A: Yes — open both days, 11AM to 7PM. Many Miami Beach salons close on Sunday and Monday; we never have. Whether it's a Sunday blowout before the week starts or a Monday color appointment when everywhere else is dark, the full menu — hair, nails, facials, waxing, and tanning — is available all seven days at 1301 Alton Rd. Limited free parking on site. - Q: How much does a HydraFacial cost at McAllister Spa? A: Every HydraFacial treatment has its exact, current price listed on our facials page — we keep it updated as pricing changes, so what you see online is accurate. We'll also confirm your exact price during your free consultation before any treatment begins, so there's never a surprise at checkout. - Q: How is hair coloring priced at McAllister Spa? A: Hair services are priced on a tiered stylist model — Senior, Master, and Director — so more experienced stylists charge more. Every service and tier has its exact, current price published on our hair pricing page, and we'll walk through your specific price during your free consultation before any color work begins. - Q: Can I book an appointment online at McAllister Spa? A: McAllister Spa uses a request-based booking model: you can text, call, or submit a request through the website, and a team member personally confirms your appointment rather than instant auto-booking. This lets stylists account for consultation needs before confirming a time. - Q: What hair color and skincare brands does McAllister Spa use? A: McAllister Spa colors hair with Goldwell (TopChic, Colorance, Elumen), styles with Kevin.Murphy, Davines and Milbon, treats hair with Olaplex and K18, and performs facials with SkinCeuticals products. - Q: Does McAllister Spa offer manicures and pedicures? A: Yes. McAllister Spa's nail menu includes Express, Classic 2.0, Gel, and Ultimate Spa manicures and pedicures, plus powder dip (SNS) and gel enhancements. Full pricing is on the nail salon page. - Q: Does McAllister Spa do eyebrow threading and waxing? A: Yes — eyebrow and facial threading, plus full-body waxing (face, body, and bikini), are available. See the waxing & threading page for the complete price list. - Q: Is McAllister Spa a hair salon, nail salon, or spa? A: All three, under one roof: a full hair salon, a nail salon, and a spa offering HydraFacials, airbrush tanning, and PhiBrows microblading — in continuous operation in Miami Beach since 2010. - Q: Does McAllister Spa take walk-ins? A: Yes, when the floor allows — and being open seven days means it often does, including the Sundays and Mondays much of Miami Beach is closed. Blow-dries, men's cuts, manicures, pedicures and brow work are the services most likely to fit a walk-in. Color, balayage, keratin, extensions and bridal always need an appointment, because they need a consultation and a block of chair time nobody can promise on the spot. The fastest way to find out is to text (305) 604-0550 — if there is a chair today you will hear back today. - Q: How much is a haircut at McAllister Spa? A: A women's haircut with a stylist blow dry is $125 with a Senior stylist, $145 with a Master stylist and $165 with a Director. A men's haircut and styling is $65, $75 and $85 at the same three levels. A shampoo and blowout on its own starts at $70. Every other service on the menu is published the same way, tier by tier, which is unusual in this market — most salons here quote by phone only. - Q: Is McAllister Spa near Collins Avenue and the beach hotels? A: About two-thirds of a mile west of Collins Avenue at 13th Street — a fifteen-minute walk, or four or five minutes by car or scooter. Ocean Drive is a couple of minutes further, and Lincoln Road is a nine-minute walk. Guests staying on Collins, on Ocean and at the Setai, the National, the Betsy and the Loews come to us rather than paying resort prices. Limited free parking on site. - Q: Is McAllister Spa open on Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's Day? A: No — those are the only three days of the year we close, and they are the same three every year. We are open every other day, including Sundays and Mondays. New Year's Eve itself is a working day, on a short event menu at event pricing with a reservation fee; it is January 1 that is closed. The week before each holiday is among the busiest on our calendar, so book those two weeks ahead. - Q: Can I request a specific stylist at McAllister Spa? A: Yes, and it is the normal way to book. Every artist has their own page with their work, the reviews that mention them by name, the languages they speak and what they charge at their level. Booking from that page opens a text that names them, so the front desk knows who you are asking for before reading anything else. Requests are honored wherever the schedule allows. - Q: Where can I park near McAllister Spa on Alton Rd? A: Limited free parking on site. McAllister Spa is at 1301 Alton Rd, close to the Lincoln Road and West Avenue corridor. - Q: Is McAllister Spa in South Beach or Miami Beach? A: Both — McAllister Spa is in South Beach, the southern neighborhood of the city of Miami Beach, FL, near Flamingo Park. Locals use the two names interchangeably for this part of the city. - Q: What's the difference between balayage and highlights? A: Highlights are painted in sections using foils for a more uniform, consistent lightness throughout. Balayage is hand-painted freehand directly onto the hair without foils, creating a softer, more natural graduation of color with less visible regrowth line as it grows out. Many clients combine both techniques for a fuller result — your stylist will recommend the right approach during your free consultation. - Q: What's the difference between a HydraFacial and a regular facial? A: A HydraFacial uses a patented device to cleanse, exfoliate, and infuse the skin with serums in one continuous step, delivering more consistent, immediate results than a traditional manual facial. A standard facial relies on hands-on extraction and mask work instead. We perform both, using SkinCeuticals products, and can help you choose the right one during a consultation. - Q: Waxing vs. threading — which is better for eyebrows? A: Threading uses cotton thread to remove hair at the follicle with more precision, making it a good choice for fine shaping and sensitive skin. Waxing removes hair over a larger area faster. Many clients choose threading for eyebrows specifically and waxing for larger areas like legs or arms — we offer both. - Q: How long does microblading last? A: PhiBrows microblading typically lasts 12–18 months before fading, depending on your skin type and aftercare, with most clients returning for a touch-up before then to keep the shape crisp. Our technicians are dually licensed estheticians and tattoo artists using autoclave sterilization to CDC standards. - Q: Is airbrush tanning safe, and how long does it last? A: Yes — our formulations use DHA, an FDA-approved color additive for skin, applied by airbrush rather than a spray tent for more even, controlled coverage. A typical airbrush tan lasts up to 7 days before it fades naturally, the way a sun tan gradually fades. - Q: Do you sell gift cards? A: Yes — gift cards are available in the salon rather than online. Call or text (305) 604-0550 and we'll have one ready, or pick one up at 1301 Alton Rd, Miami Beach, open seven days a week. Limited free parking on site. A gift card can be used toward any service on the menu: hair, nails, facials, waxing, and more. If you'd rather give something already on the calendar, we can also book the appointment itself — text us what you have in mind. ## Who Performs Each Service Guests request artists by name.
