1 /5 Aleta Lyons: I write this review with genuine distress, having never encountered such unprofessionalism and outright disrespect. The experience I endured at this salon was not only disappointing but deeply unsettling, particularly in how the owner, Yair, treats his clients, especially women. Please see the VIDEOS and IMAGES below of this encounter. (Please note I have since gotten it corrected. This happened a week ago)
Upon meeting (The owner) Yair, he made a series of inappropriate and unsettling comments. Despite knowing I’d recently moved to Miami, he openly speculated about relationships falling apart here and implied that my boyfriend might cheat on me, as “Miami is filled with beautiful people.” He then proceeded to share details about his personal life, including frequenting strip clubs and his history of infidelity. These comments were entirely unprofessional and made me profoundly uncomfortable.
As for the service itself, I visited the salon seeking only a haircut. However, I left with an unexpected bill for over $400 and ORANGE hair thanks to an unnecessary and unrequested “hair Botox” treatment. Yair suggested a conditioning treatment but failed to explain the potential risks or costs involved. I had made it clear that I had a professional conference just two days later, yet he proceeded without transparency. The sole “explanation” I received was a brief video of the treatment on someone with a completely different hair type, which left me ill-prepared for the consequences. (A before and after on a Latina or Indian woman) Now, my hair is severely damaged, tacky feeling actually and I’m faced with additional expenses to repair it.
Please note I am not discrediting my hair cut, however, after speaking with professionals on this matter Yair failed to disclose the harsh reality of the treatment and the results that I could be facing. My scalp burned during the entire process and I am just now realizing that this was not something that I needed at all and it was extremely harsh for my hair. I have no problem paying for my hair cut and wash. (Which I did)
When I attempted to address these issues, I received neither an apology nor any offer to make it right. Instead, Yair dismissed my concerns, even going so far as to tell me to “stop being dramatic” and to “stop ugly crying.”
After seeing other negative reviews, it’s clear that my experience is not unique. His responses to these reviews suggest he may attempt to discredit mine as well, but I urge anyone considering this salon to read these accounts carefully. This was, without question, the most unprofessional and distressing salon experience I have ever endured. Please save yourself the trip. This guy is also in a lawsuit as of September 2024 from his landlord for not being able to pay his $2,300.00 rent. Something isnt adding up. Please please DO YOUR RESEARCH.
Please note* I was unable to unload all of the videos due to the length, but I hope this can shed some light on the situation. I started recording the conversation after leaving, crying, reading reviews and then attempting to go back in and ask for a correction. It was then I had the idea to record my encounter after leaving in tears the first time.
