Beauty & Spas in Cutler Bay

With today's Groupon tucked beneath a headband, partake in the polish this palace of pulchritude has to offer and select two of the following corporeal services. Highlight a dull noodle nest ($45+ value), or retouch the whole kit and kaboodle for $40. A mani-pedi counts as one treatment, cleaning up your keratin collectors for $30. Absolve yourself of that overgrown pompadour with a haircut and blow-dry (starting at $50), or indulge in the Brazilian keratin treatment, a popular method of silkification that smoothes frayed head-threads into a long-lasting state of smoothness. The keratin treatment normally ranges between $150 and $300, depending on the amount of hair on a given noggin. Hair thickness and length raise the price of both the Brazilian keratin treatment and highlights.

If a massage therapist is lulling their clients to occupy a relaxed state then they should be in that place of relaxation too. At least that’s how the owner of Miami Foot & Tea Bar feels. His staff of reflexology specialists not only takes care of their clients, they also take care of themselves with healthy lifestyles, ongoing massage training, and calm demeanors. “I can tell you, from knowing them personally, they have zero stress,” he says. They do have drive¬¬––each has studied with internationally known instructors to learn the intricacies of true reflexology. “Just by massaging your foot, they can tell you what your [health] problems are, and they can also help you heal,” he says.

The reflexologists on staff are not the only ones striving to promote holistic health. Tea specialists preside over a collection of more than 20 teas, each specially selected for its healing properties and its ability to calm screaming teapots. Based on consultations with clients and their reflexologists, tea gurus recommend brews to take home, including organic verbena mint, Taiwanese green, or Darjeeling black.

As its name implies, Beyond Salon & Spa plays host to more hair and body treatments than one might expect. When they aren’t cropping hair into styles that bring out their clients’ best features, stylists tame frizz with keratin treatments, add permanent waves, and straighten strands with a special Japanese relaxer. Massage therapists similarly draw on Japanese influences during shiatsu and reiki massages, both of which aim to balance the body’s internal energies and promote self-healing. After purging toxins and unflattering chunks of marble during a body-sculpting treatment, clients can head to the nail technician for a relaxing mani-pedi.

Active Health and Fitness' five locations swarm with chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists, and aesthetic specialists as they keep human chassis shiny and new with custom treatments. Weight-loss programs guide patients through the journey of pinching inches, and hair-removal therapy evicts unwanted strands after technicians have lengthy discussions with each follicle about the importance of being reliable contributors to society. Physicians stand by to supervise treatments such as the weight-loss program and noninvasive medical procedures.

At Miami Blo Bar, stylists employ the hot breath of blow dryers to give hair a new shape. Fun and lively music bounces throughout the salon as they shampoo strands and form them into any kind of style, be it a smooth and sleek look or a just-escaped-from-the-Huns look.

Inside any of Hairdoctors Specialty Salons' five full-service locations, skilled aestheticians treat hair and nails with a range of pharmaceutical and natural services. They trim and style hair, perform keratin treatments, and color strands using crayons or ammonia-free dyes and cellophanes. The staff’s work extends beyond hair services via manicures and pedicures. Aestheticians also add to clients' existing hair with extensions—strands made from Remy or virgin Indian human hair and attached to scalps via weaving, taping, fusion, or gluing. Hairdoctors Specialty Salons also posts informative hair-extension FAQs on its website.
