Collins Avenue, South Beach
Wedding Hair & Beauty
for The National Hotel
Under a mile from us, straight across the island.
What The National Hotel asks of a look
The National's Art Deco lines and that long infinity pool give it one of the most distinctive wedding backdrops on Collins. It photographs as period Miami Beach, which is why so many couples lean into a retro-leaning look for it — waves, structured sets, something with a bit of 1940s in it.
The morning itself
A few minutes across the island from 1301 Alton. Retro styling is real technical work rather than a finish, so if you are dressing to match the architecture, build in a trial well ahead and tell us at the consultation what era you have in mind.
Planned, not improvised
Every wedding here runs the same way, whatever the venue. The look is agreed at a free consultation, proven in a trial, and locked well before the day — so the morning is calm and on schedule rather than a set of decisions made under pressure. Fifteen years of Miami Beach wedding mornings taught us that the calm part is the whole product.
Because we're a full hair salon, nail salon and spa in one building, the bride, the party and the mothers can all be taken care of together. Group reservations are coordinated personally — start here and we'll build the morning around your ceremony time.

Common Questions
- How far is McAllister Spa from The National Hotel?
- Under a mile from us, straight across the island. We're at 1301 Alton Rd in Miami Beach, with free parking in our own lot — which matters on a wedding morning, when the last thing a party needs is a garage.
- When should I book a bridal trial for a wedding at The National Hotel?
- Six to eight weeks before the date, and earlier in high season. Wedding beauty done well is mostly done early: the look is agreed at a free consultation, proven in a trial, and locked long before the morning itself. Colour belongs earlier still — two to three weeks out, never the week of.
- Can the whole wedding party get ready together?
- Yes, and it's the reason people bring their parties here. We're a full hair salon, nail salon and spa in one building, so the bride, the bridesmaids and both mothers can be handled together in one morning — hair and updos, manicures, facials — rather than split across three businesses in three neighbourhoods. Group reservations are coordinated personally, so start the conversation early.
