North Miami, FL Beauty and Salons

Under the direction of chief medical officer Dr. Hugo Romeu, the med spa steers patients toward their most confident selves with a range of treatments. The staff takes years off of faces with chemical peels, photorejuvenation, and Botox injections, and renders smoother physiques with seaweed body wraps and salt scrubs. Licensed massage therapists use deft strokes to untangle knots during Swedish or deep-tissue sessions, leaving muscles as loose as a buttered doorknob. To fuel at-home pampering, the spa stocks their shelves with a full line of Derma Skin professional products.

Medical director Enrique Monasterio leads the professional technicians and aestheticians of Medspa Miami on their mission to bolster patients' outer beauty with medically centered spa treatments. Dr. Monasterio's career began in the lands of Spain, France, and the United States, where he learned European and American medical aesthetic techniques and that the red in all three countries' flags represents kidney beans. After that, he focused on private practice for 20 years and now lends his expertise in Botox, sclerotherapy, and mesotherapy to the Medspa Miami staff, ensuring that each procedure adheres to strict standards and patient comfort.

The staff at Bijie Hair and Nail Salon may speak English and Spanish, but their work will elicit compliments in any language. Limp, lifeless manes settle near one of the crisp, white styling stations and arise a short time later with full, flip-able layers and soft curls, and strands prone to spiraling out of control can be calmed with a keratin treatment or smoothing blowout. Fingers and toes can unwind after a stressful day of typing, tap-dancing, or typing while tap-dancing with one of the salon’s mani-pedis, which include cuticle care, careful shaping, and a coat of color in the customer’s choice.

Universal Laser Center has been beaming cosmetic laser rays for more than a decade, devoting itself to a philosophy that welds health to the shimmering luster of beauty. Whether technicians are dissolving cellulite, toning complexions, or sending acne back in time, they pride themselves on using diverse technology "that improves and transforms lives." Spare decor marks the crisp, airy reception area, where patients wait to meet with professionals who leave clear complexions and sleek silhouettes in their wake.

The professional beauty-bolstering team, with more than 10 years of experience, at Image Maker Medical Aesthetics transform clients with a slate of noninvasive and surgical procedures. Laser treatments aim to reduce unwanted patches of hair and spider veins, and faces perk up after permanent-makeup applications, Botox injections, and Zoom teeth-whitening services.

The team at Nails 111 believes in "good, clean fun," combining a health-conscious philosophy with a charming, shabby-chic ambiance. Antique-style tables and chairs, chandeliers, and lilac walls create an 18th-century-parlor vibe as nail techs wash and sanitize hands and set aside an individual spa kit for each guest. They wear latex gloves upon request and eschew spa chairs and whirlpool-type footbaths in favor of disposable pedicure tub liners. The crew decorates nails with Essie, OPI, or Shellac polish and also performs sleek blowouts and straightening treatments at the Blow and Go hair bar.

The salon was created by internationally trained beauty expert and Lima, Peru, native Marizza Contreras and Miami native Jonathan Nussbaum, who was inspired by a girlfriend's frustration the lack of nail salons open after 7 p.m. Nails 111 staffers refine digits until 9 p.m. Monday–Saturday, making late-night manicures possible for owls wishing to impress their prey.
