Juana is the only stylist I go to. She is the best in the town with anything color, cut and styling. We have changed my look and my hair from brown to blonde to strawberry gold to red and I've loved the way I look every single time! She is a master at knowing what colors match your complexions and make your beauty stand out more! Luca is a master at hair cutting he is the only one I allow to shape my face and cut my hair. If you are thinking to go to Luca Mencarini don't look any further .. this is the place to go for anything hair and markup !

I have been having terrible experiences with my haircuts and color for over a year. I spent more time growing out bad haircuts and wearing ponytails after spending a lot of money. Juana saved me from the haircut blues!!! Put her in the goddess hall of fame. She's not only really talented, she's also really nice. No ego tripping. The place is super comfortable and has a great vibe.

When I moved to Miami from Manhattan, I was worried that I would have trouble finding a good hair stylist, but Valerio is the BEST hair stylist I've ever had!!! He is an absolute ARTIST with hair, always able to give me a cut that looks beautiful, modern and natural for months...with minimal fuss. And he's an absolute genius with color, too. LOVE this guy!!!

This quaint, modern hair salon is located in the heart of coral gables but far from the construction and traffic. Upon entering you feel as if you've traveled into a European city. Juana is the stylist that changed my look from a dull and brassy blond to the perfect shade I requested-- using her expertise in Balayage. I was so pleased with the results I took my 15 year old daughter as well and Juana did not disappoint! I highly recommend the salon and specifically Juana, who I know also does makeup. Prices are good and they don't gauge their clients because of the Coral Gables location

It's very difficult to find a good colorist. Hair stylist can cut and style, but not all hair stylist are great with color. Thankfully, I found the perfect one! Juana is extremely talented. I absolutely love the way she does my hair. She does exactly what I ask for. She's not one of those that you tell "I just want you to cut the tips" and ends up cutting half your hair off! If you ask for a trim, you get a trim! I love that. I always make sure to recommend her and everyone who I've sent to her has been extremely happy with her work. She's also very nice and friendly

So happy to have this great salon in the gables now! Wonderful, friendly service as soon as you walk in. Juana (Jay B) is an exceptional hair stylist. I came to her with hair that was starting to turn that horrid orange tone of blonde. I wanted to tone it back to my ashy balayage and she was able to transform it into exactly what I envisioned.
She also trimmed my ends and re-touched my base color. The cut was perfect, she trimmed just the ends as I had asked. The base color matched up perfectly. My hair wash was super relaxing and the products used smelled great.
I'll definitely be coming

Have been coming here for a while and it's one of the best color I have ever done. The products are all ammonia-free. The color is very natural-looking and lasts a few weeks more than the usual. I personally love it because it does not give me any irritation not itchiness on my skin. It leaves the hair very soft.
The private salon and Luca (owner) is very welcoming. It's located Highly recommend it.
Enjoy it!

Next level stylist! Valerio works magic with his scissors. He has a true passion for what he does, you see it in his bright smile as he transforms your hair into a work of art. He adds shape and health to my hair every time I sit in his chair! I would fly him out to Cali to come cut my hair if I could, but always schedule an appointment when I'm back in town because there's only one Valerio

Valerio is the most skillfull and inspired hairdresser. His skill is only eclipsed by his charming demeanor and thoughtful attention to his client's needs.
Prior to finding Valerio, my blond was washed out and my hair breaking, over-processed and in dire need of rest. Under Valerio's capable hands, my hair is now long, bright, and healthy -his highlights in particular are THE ABSOLUTE BEST -and I have sampled NY, LA, Rome and Boston.
I'm always fearful of haircuts, and thanks to Valerio, I now look forward to them, knowing a trim is truly a trim -leaving my hair looking somehow
