Luis's Story
Luis is a Director with more than twenty years behind the chair, and color and balayage are what he is asked for.
He works across the whole color room, cuts and styles, takes keratin and smoothing, and does men's grooming — which in practice means one person can handle your color, your cut and your smoothing plan instead of you coordinating three appointments. Guests who have been coming to him for years tend to bring their families too. He sees guests in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Luis in the Journal
- Men's Hair in Miami Beach, Priced Honestly
What a men's cut, gray coverage and highlights actually cost here, why the barbershop answer is not always the right one, and when you can walk in.
- Eight Languages on One Salon Floor
Miami Beach is not an English-speaking city, and hair is a conversation before it is a service. Who on our floor speaks what, and why it changes the result.
- Why Blonde Goes Orange, and What Fixes It
Orange means the lift stopped early; yellow means nobody toned it. What each takes to fix, what it costs, and why box dye is hardest.
