Patricia is meticulous--she spent two hours on me and gave me the best haircut I've ever had. I brought in a picture of what I wanted my hair to look like and it ended up looking exactly how I wanted it! Take it from someone who has tried like every salon in south florida...you won't get service like this anywhere else!

  • Pros: everything

I was scheduled for two hours, but gave me four (on a friday afternoon!)

Extremely concerned for my comfort (heavy rainstorm)

Very courteous and talented.

  • Pros: Client concious

I first visited Gustavo Briand after thoroughly reading all of the reviews on CitySearch and I was not disappointed. I loved the family atmosphere that greeted me upon entering the studio and how I was treated as an important guest. I had the pleasure of working with Cristian for color and Patricia for my cut. Never before had I experienced such a team effort between a colorist and stylist and the results showed what a powerful combination it is. Oh, and they use natural products that will not damage your hair or the environment.

I have been back 3 times to Gustavo Briand and every time I visit, I am treated with the same attention as the first time. Moreover, I always leave knowing that my hair style/color is exactly what I was looking for even though I may not have been able to articulate it clearly when I arrived there. My last visit on Saturday has resulted in a major transformation in my look (color, style and length) and every client in the studio complimented me on my look, not to mention my family and friends.

It is amazing what the right color and cut can do for your self-esteem when other people stop to appreciate your hair and mention how it makes your face look like it is glowing. Who knew that when I walked out of Gustavo Briand, that I would have walked out not only with gorgeous hair, but also a glowing and bright complexion!

Please, check out Gustavo Briand and I assure you that when you pay the bill, you know that was well worth every penny!

  • Pros: Get exactly what you want
  • Cons: Pricey

About two months ago I could not stand my hair. It was medium brown and curly/wavy. The bottom layer was extremely damaged as a result of me straightening it and i had probably about 90% split ends. I have also been trying to dye my hair red from a box for the past year or two but the color was never what I wanted. At Gustavo Briand, Cristian did an amazing job on the color. He did a full head of color with highlights and lowlights. He made it look very natural and the color has been as vibrant as it was two months ago. Patricia styled my hair. I brought in a picture of a cut i thought would look great, but she took the time to explain to me why the cut wouldn't be manageable for my hair type. She did her own version of the style in the picture and made it fit me. The results were even better than the picture.

  • Pros: the best haircut and color i have ever had.
  • Cons: a little pricey, but definitely worth it.

Don't go here. It is over-priced and i received sub-optimal care for my hair. The service i got did NOT fit with ALL those postive reviews. i read all the positive reviews and thought this would be a great place to go. in the reviews they talk about how they care about your hair and give you great consultations. NOT TRUE. i had very damaged hair and a very bad haircut and i went in and instead of giving me a holistic hair consult, they set me up with the color guy who tried to sell me the $400 brazilian straightening treatment (that i had read warnings about due to the formaldyhyde which is cancer causing) and told me that my hair looked bad just bc it was frizzy. he gave me an overpriced washout treatment that he said would last 4 wks and only lasted 2 1/2. i had to ASK for an additional conditioning treatment bc i had come in telling them that my hair was damaged. they didn't cut it, didn't care to. well, after my overpriced temporary color washed out my hair was just as bad as before. i went to a salon in coral gables and the person there really helped gave me a cut that would wear better in the miami weather. and the coral gables salon also told me about the cons of the brazilian treatment (it loses efficacy after the first time, so the second time it doesn't straighten as well). something that these guys at Gustavo Briand never bothered to do.

  • Pros: Easy to get an appointment quickly
  • Cons: Bad haircare, overpriced

$70-$80 for a men's haircut is not affordable. Please remove this from the best affordable haircut list. It's completely misleading.

Unfortunatelly that was a price which I was sourpriced my self to get.

We did not choose to be honoured that way.

I came to the conclusion that it means:

"Best value for your money"?

I appreciate people thinking great things about us.

Thank you Miami.

We offer student haircuts with our apprentices, and we have student discounts on Tuesdays & Wednesdays with your Student I.D.

If you ever want to get a less expensive tretmentwith us, we are always a phone call away.

Thank you for caring:

Gustavo Briand.

BTW our male haircuts are $60 with Patricia, & $80 with me.

I brought a picture into the Gustavo briand Studio and I left with the haristyle i had imagined. Gustavo spent about two hours personally making my hair look exactly like the picture and he even stayed until 7:40, 40 minutes past closing, making sure it was perfect. The service was incredible, i felt more like a guest than a costumer and Gustavo was sincerely interested in my ideas for the haricut as well as friendly. I'm so glad I chose to get my hair cut here. Thank you so much Gustavo!

  • Pros: amazing
  • Cons: none
