The Vanity Room Salon

Vanity Room is a great salon! I love the friendly, chic vibe. Skip fit us in and did a great cut on two teens. Great job at a good price. Thank you! I’ll post some pics. We loved your cute and friendly dogs on site! Cheers for 2016!

I have been going to Mara (the owner of the Vanity Room) for about ten years. I drive all the way down to Tavernier from Miami, which should say something, because Mara is the only person who consistently gives me the hair I want without frying my hair. Occasionally I have gotten frustrated with the long drive and have tried going to someone else closer to home, and inevitably, I end up back in Mara’s chair.
Mara is truly an artist, and is realistic about explaining any limitations to what can be accomplished. I feel that I can always trust her completely to be honest if I’m asking her to do something that either won’t look good or won’t be good for my hair.
I have very dark brown hair naturally, and Mara is able to make me a blonde without frying my hair the way other salons have when I’ve «cheated» on her, and I always thoroughly enjoy my time with her, because, bonus, she’s hilarious! The décor of the salon chic and comfy.
As far as the only other review here, I find the details very difficult to believe. Mara is a consummate professional, and the idea that she would physically threaten someone (p.s. she is under 5′ tall and petite doesn’t even cover it) seems completely unbelievable.

I was referred to this place by my wedding venue. Amazing!!! Yara did an unbelievable job on my hair and Alexis, the make up artist was incredible. These two made me feel like a supermodel on my wedding day and were so fun to have around as we all got ready. I highly recommend these two very talented girls!

I am a local of 18 years & have been utilizing the services of The Vanity Room for the past three years on a bi-​weekly basis. Mara is my lady! She does a SUBERB JOB of taking care of my hair! Mara does an amazing job with my challenging (and aging) hair. I would recommend her to everyone! I have witnessed Yara’s excellent job of color & style with many many clients over the years. Yara is caring and precise! Yara consistently gives her clients exactly what they want! I have personally witnessed many clients express their extreme pleasure with her work. Yara actually listens to her clients & makes sure that she delivers exactly what her clients desire! Jesse is also a rising star at the salon with his unique talents! If you want excellence, precision, and professionalism, I highly recommend The Vanity Room!

I have never had an experience this negative and appauling in my entire life! I have been getting my hair done at this salon for over 6 months. Mainly because there are very few options in this area. Yara has done my hair over 6 times. EVERY time I have requested and she had done a FULL highlight and haircut and has always charged me the same flat rate. On this particular day, her receptionist messed up my apt time. The receptionist called me with a very bad attitude and said since I was late Yara would not have time to blowdry my hair. I explained to her I wrote down the correct time and apologized for any mix up. I rushed there immediately and reconfrirmed that Yara would do a FULL highlight. She agreed. She proceeded to only do a PARTIAL highlight (I have black hair and dye it blonde so a partial looks terrible with black roots in the back). Yara was completely RUDE and stand offish and said it was my own fault for being late that she was going to do a partial. I got very upset and then she changed her story and said she was doing a ‘new technique’ on my hair and would make sure the roots looks just as good at they did in the front. Well, SHE LIED and the back of my hair looks terrible! She then had the nerve to try to charge me for a FULL HIGHLIGHT and other services she did not perform! I was upset and I left. I told her I would never be back and would leave reviews so this never happens to anyone else. Here is the kicker! The OWNER of the salon calls me the next day and THREATENS me physically and otherwise if I dare leave a bad review. She said Yara did what she did to my long beautiful hair on purpose because I was rude and late! I am not kidding… This is how this place opperates. Then she had the nerve to post MY photo on her page knowing I was clearly upset and unhappy with my services. I warn you — do NOT go to this chop shop if you value your hair! WHO THREATENS CUSTOMERS?
