Steven Michael’s Hair Salon

It’s been a while since my first review of Steven Michael’s but whenever I look at my hair now, I can’t help but think that they deserve another shout out from me.
I’ve been enough times that I know I don’t want to get my hair done anywhere else. That is what they do to you. Every single hair designer at Steven Michael’s does wonders. Mahum was my first experience, she was amazing and so patient when I went from an angled bob to a pixie cut. Shawn has taken care of my cut and color, with an ombré look. She is a such a wizard for transforming me. Steven Michael’s had me giggling the entire time I was getting my hair done. But not only is he funny, he made over my hair that I am so happy with now.
Every single time I go and visit Steven Michael’s I’m always there for a long time, but I appreciate it so much, that they do take their time with you and there is no rush, you and your hair are what matters. The prices are never bad, and I don’t mind the investment that I’m making on myself, it’s always worth it. I love how they make me feel, and walking out, I can never stop looking at my hair that they’ve just created.
I’ve never been so pleased with a entire salon before and that speaks volumes.

At first, they were very nice to me when I called to switch my hair appointment at a later time. My mother was admitted into the hospital and I couldn’t make my original appointment time. I called after to advise that I wasn’t going to be able to make my appointment today and instead of the lady asking if I would like to reschedule she just said okay and hung-​up on me. I personally think that is extremely unprofessional. If they treated me that way on the phone I don’t even want to imagine how my experience would have been in person.

If I could give a specific person who works in the salon five stars, is give Selene five stars. She’s great! She’s quick, and while I was not happy about that at first because I wanted a longer break from my kids, I enjoy that now since I have a little baby. She cuts my hair just how I like it! It’s so hard to find a great stylist sometimes. The only reason I’m giving the salon four stars and not give is because I do not enjoy having to walk through a cloud of smoke going in because some of the employees smoke right by the door. I just feel like it’s unprofessional, but I also just moved from a state that has pretty much made it illegal to smoke anywhere but your own house that is 100% your’s! So, I could be a little extra sensitive on this since I lived in said state for so long. I would recommend this place and I would recommend Selene!

I came in for a trim and Mahum did more than I expected! She did a fantastic job! Great personality and wonderful in her craft. She was highly recommended by my sister and a friend and I don’t doubt it! I will be coming to this place more often!

Salene is my stylist. Truly, she is an artist! Every time I leave, I say it’s the best haircut I’ve ever had. Very affordable, too!

Made an early morning appt for a last minute event. The hairdresser was wonderful! On time, super fast and gave me exactly what I wanted. I’m definitely coming back again!

My daughter had been wanting to get the Thermal Starghtning for a while so on her 21^st birthday I finally gave in and told her I would pay for it. Thought it would be an arm and a leg but by the grace of God, we found this salon. When I found out how much it was… I made the appointment with Selene a month in advance. When my daughter finally had it done… it came out BEAUTIFUL! She did a GREAT job and by the way my daughter spoke… she knows what she is doing. I think the price I paid was the lowest price in ALL of Florida I believe. Also, everyone in the salon is so friendly they make you feel at ease. We will definately be back for touch-​ups!

I love this salon! Excellent customer service!
I did my hair with Mahum, she was amazing. She did exactly what I wanted and it came out fantastic! I will definitely keep coming here from now on (:

If there was a way to give this place a negative star I would! Beware of this place! They ruined my hair. I had an appointment on a Friday night which I was extremely excited for. I even brought my stylist a picture of what I wanted. She looked at the picture (Jessica Biel) and said no problem. She turned my beautiful brown hair to black! I was in tears. She said give me a chance to fix it and I was asked to come back Saturday morning, I knew I should have ran and never turned back but the stylist was really nice and seemed sincere when she said she was sorry and that she would fix what she had done. So I came back Saturday bad feeling and all. When she was finally done putting all sorts of things in my hair (at one point I told her my head felt like it was burning) I looked like a monster… I left in tears again! I was so embarrassed that immediately put my hair up in a bun and cried the whole way home! My kids didn’t even recognize me! I had thick streaks in 5 different colors. I was charged $ 160 which I tried to get back through my bank and they refused to return the money! Less than a week later pieces of my hair fell out from the over process and my scalp was flaking due to the chemicals she had put in my hair!
I wasn’t going to write a review because I know this is someone’s livelihood and I felt bad for the stylist… yea guess who’s the real sucker, ME! So here’s my NEGATIVE REVIEW because the bank just contacted me to let me know the Salon refused to return the money. HAD THEY JUST RETURNED MY MONEY I would have never said a word. This too me is bad business and lord only knows how many others have gone through what I have.
Now, almost 3 months later my hair has suffered so much damage that I never wear it down because of how horrible it looks!

I visited Steven Michael’s for the first time in a looong time in desperate need of a trim. I was in the area and booked an appointment with Mahum. While there I sporadically decided to have my hair lightened a bit as well, but nothing too drastic. Mahum did a great job at executing the look I was going for. She was also precise with my trim. I would definitely visit Mahum again for my services.

Great customer service, amazing highlights and cut… this is my new place!!! Love Steven and his staff — they were so much fun. I went in for a trim and came out with a whole new hairdo I adore!

My mom and I have been clients for years. The staff is lovely and you always have a great time. Hilary and Selene are great. I always say they are the only ones allowed to cut my hair. Steven and Eric are my moms stylist and she loves them. It really is like a family.

We’re the best salon in the area! Come see for yourself! Our reviews and pictures say it all!

After reading all the Unilocal reviews, I’d been looking forward to my trip to this salon for weeks. My hair isn’t the easiest to manage (very thin but coarse, with curls and waves) and it’s always difficult for me to find someone that can give me a good cut. I called ahead in case I needed to make an appointment (i’d called other days and was told they were busy) but when they said their afternoon was open, I said I’d be right by and they didn’t suggest an appointment.
When I arrived, the place was busy but they were able to attend to me right away. I was hoping to be offered a water or something as I’d read they normally offer wine and beer, but nothing was offered. My stylist (whose name I didn’t catch unfortunately) washed my hair which was nice. Then she brought me over to her chair and asked what I wanted. I told her a good sized trim, something that would help my hair look fuller. She suggested layers which was what I was aiming for.
The cut was fairly quick and I was surprised when she told me she was done. I barely had enough time to put my glasses on and get a little look at my hair before she was already gone to the front desk to charge. Normally, I’m offered a small mirror so I can check out the back and see if it’s all to my liking. The front looked okay and I suppose it’s my bad for not checking more thoroughly, but when I got home, I realized that although the cut looked alright, some of the back appears to not have been cut at all. I only know this because my hair is/​was fairly knotted at the ends and it’s very obvious which parts are still damaged and which parts were cut as they now look healthy.
For all the Unilocal hype, I would hope all of my hair would get something of a cut. I also didn’t enjoy feeling rushed at the end. I hate to write a negative review because my stylist did seem friendly enough and perhaps she didn’t understand I wanted more of a cut or that I would’ve appreciated seeing the back (again, maybe I should have gone out of my way to ask). All in all, this was not the experience I’d been looking forward to all week. For the price and the drive, it wasn’t really worth it. Hope others have better luck.

This place is a gem! Found it by doing a Unilocal review for hair salons in the area after a pretty bad experience at the Paul Mitchell school of beauty two days prior and Shawn saved my hair! She was a sweetheart from the moment I called in to make an appointment. I was seen on the same day and on a Monday too which is a rarity as there were barely any salons open on a Monday. She was extremely knowledgable, patient and was able to fix the ombré ring of color I was left with at the salon prior. The owner was also very kind. Both of them were full of hospitality! And the best part? AMAZING prices! A salon like this one is hard to find :) I’ll be coming back often.

Stephen Michaels is an amazing salon, every time I go I just tell them to give me a cut that looks nice and presentable they know what they are doing and know just what you want. I always leave with a smile on my face. Very affordable haircuts and I’ve gotten my hair cut by Salene, Shawne, Mahum, and Dejla. Love the ladies of Stephen Michaels Salon!

Ok, so I found this place by chance because of the great reviews on Unilocal.And yes, it lives up to all the hype!!! I go to Salene, who is amazing at all things color. She has been doing my ombré for a while now and after going to many overpriced salons who couldn’t get it right, Salene finally got it!!! The prices are great (finally a salon that doesn’t RIP YOU OFF!), and they give you free wine and beer… Sorry but that’s a major plus… It’s a fun environment!
I referred my sister and she is also hooked ever since. We both drive over an hour to get here because it’s that good. I just started doing the Liscio thermal straightening and smoothing treatments, which is perfect for me because I want less frizz while keeping the body.
Anyhow, make your trip to Steven Michaels. You won’t regret it. Tell Salene I sent you! ;)

My first here. And it was an enjoyable experience. The staff is kind, funny and isn’t ashamed to give a lady a compliment. Dejla did my hair and I have my hair stylist. Her suggestions are professional and she is relatable. She is skilled and I jave thick, long, curly hair and she did me just right. I highly recommend. I will be back soon. Pics later!

I usually only write reviews on restaurants, but after finding this place through Unilocal and loving the experience I definitely wanted to write a review!
I recently moved down here from New York and was so hesitant about getting my hair done. I was contemplating going months without any touchups just so I could go to my NY stylist during Xmas! But after my roots had grown out and my hair started getting stringy on the ends I decided it was time to suck it up! Best decision ever!
The staff was so friendly and Erik did a fantastic job with the color and cut. Erik didn’t mimic a haircut that looked good on a particular celebrity, but looked at my face and created a look that flattered my face. Usually people are so caught up in copying looks they forget to trust the stylist to find a style that is right for THEIR FACE. The prices were also amazing… cuts anywhere from 18 – 24 and partial highlights for 50 bucks!
Definitely gonna come back again and again, they earned the 5 stars!

Okay, so just to give you a background of my hair experiences. BEFORE Steven Michaels. I’d avoid the salons like a child would the dentist. Stretching my visits at-​least 1 or twice a year (because I’d have one bad experience after the next). My hair feels like it takes forever to grow and every time I went I’d be talked in to a «trim», which was more like hacking down a tree! They’d cut at least 4 inches & I was too shy to say how unhappy I was. & I would leave teary eyed & with a huge hole burning in my wallet.
One day my coworker came in on her day off, with her hair flowing and glowing (she had mentioned that she had just been to the hair salon). She’s always been admired for her healthy gold locks. I was always convinced she had freakishly good genes & her hair was like that because she’d never colored it. Wrong!!! Her hair was amazing because she’d been taken care of by the hair guru — who goes by «Sean». (: Oh & by the way. Her hair is naturally brown and Sean’s been coloring it blond for years! She also mentioned that she wanted to cut a chunk off (my face probably looked horrified) & Sean advised her not to! Okay so a hairdresser whose not related to Edward scissor hands? I was in!
I have literally been working across the street from this place. For over 2 years! Its walking distance is 5 minutes max. But, I had been postponing going to this place for months because I was terrified of hair salons. Well not anymore! I finally worked up the nerve to go in for an appointment and now I’m hooked!!! Sean was not scissor happy and for the first time in over 10 years. I left a hair salon feeling completely happy with my hair! I’ve been going at least once a month for blow-​drys and I look forward to (mark on my calendar) my next haircut. I live in Kendall and drive up to Cutler Bay on my days off. Because it’s worth it! I also adore Sean she’s like the cutest person ever!
I personally haven’t experienced any other hairdresser at S. M but they’re all really nice and from what I’ve seen very talented. So, I HIGHLY recommend this place! My only regret is not going sooner. From now on I will ONLY go to Steven Michaels. And if you want high quality service for a good price, I’d recommend you go there also! (:
