FRIENDS! No need to look further, you've found your salon...better yet, THE SALON! I am so serious when I tell you there is nowhere else to go for hair services and brow lamination. Don't just hear it from me Dolls, take a peek at all the other real reviews of life changing, confidence building results. Although, I do implore you to keep reading, as I genuinely believe my lengthy review will solidify your choice in stopping by this perfectly placed gem in Coral Gables! From the moment you walk in the door, you're greeted with welcoming smiles and a positive aura from the unbelievably talented Jesse, Jessica and Hazel! You'll instantly appreciate the blissful ambiance as you make your way to the chair with your complimentary coffee in this cozy and intimate space. I came in with the hopes of simply finding direction in regards to my chemically cut hair(my at home bleach job broke off about 6-8 inches), but what I received was understanding, education and after a few appointments of treatments and trims, the Absolute BEST hair revival of my life! Let me say this, I had so much damage to my hair from years of constantly dying my darkest brown natural locks to the whitest-white possible. This resulted in the most intensely porous and brittle hair you'll ever see or feel. I honestly thought I would have to cut my hair off completely and start all over again UNTIL I was lucky enough to be introduced to the spectacular Smith and Mendoza salon. I was completely blown away by the options they made available to me and the sensitivity they showed to my hair situation. The attention to the tiniest of details that Jessica paid to my trouble spots along with the long-term objectives Jesse so wonderfully made sure I understood, were what really confirmed I will not step foot in another salon. The affirmations I received throughout my entire hair process with Jessica and Jesse is something that will forever be appreciated, as they don't just talk the talk, Darlings, they most definitely walk the walk! The calming and tender hands of the wonderful Hazel will have you falling asleep, as she's way too good at taking care of your head before Jesse and Jessica work their magic. If you saw me now, you would never know my naturally 4 inch hair has been blended to perfection by Jessica with 19 inch k-tip extensions that match my natural waves impeccably. She literally gave me "Mermaid Hair" that flows deliciously with the most natural curl which also allows me the ability to straighten beautifully when the occasion calls for it. My k-tips have no shedding, are invisible to the eye and are slightly felt when myself or someone else runs fingers through my hair. I wake up, spritz my hair with water and I'm ready to go! The best part is, Jessica brilliantly placed each extension in such an organized and calculated position on my head that I can easily brush without pain, fear of pulling out or tangling any hair. She's absolutely amazing! These wonderful artists actually care about your opinion, how you feel and what your hair goals are, allllll on top of providing you with results that are even better than your expectations! This review was not only written to give praise and adorations to this fabulous salon, but furthermore, I need those searching for hair direction or resolutions to come to the realization that YOU'RE NOT STUCK IN YOUR HAIR SITUATION! You have options and you have Smith and Mendoza who will broaden your horizons while educating you on ways to maximize your true, Smokeshow Self! Ladies and Gentlemen, give your ego a well-deserved boost and treat yourself to an appointment with these professionals. Add your name to the long list of those who walk out of the Smith and Mendoza salon with a confidence that is infectious and a true excitement of the most natural yet dramatic hair enhancements tailor-made to emphasize your beauty. I'll only refer someone in search of hair services here and when you come in for a consultation, you'll feel the exact same way. You'
Came to get my ktip extensions done by Jessica and she did such a phenomenal job! I had tape ins before this and I have to say, the difference is real. It's so much lighter on my hair . When I tie my hair up, I can't see the extensions. She blended them really well, it honestly looks like my natural hair. Thank you ! Highly recommend
