Oribe Salon Miami

Fancy schmancy salon named for the luxe product line. Expect to wait for an appointment with a senior stylist, who might very well be off cutting the tresses of some supermodel.

Nails 111 Miami

The lavender salon looks more powder room than nail factory. But the main focus is your digits. A quickie mani/pedi costs just $34 (a record low on South Beach). Or up the ante with the Highway to Heaven — a classic mani/pedi, plus massage. Bonus: They’re open till 9 p.m. weekdays.

Contesta Rock Hair Miami

This funky Italian import is located on bustling tourist trap Espanola Way. But inside the boutique-sized salon, it’s all locals — including the hot Italian staffers. You’ll thoroughly enjoy a shampoo and cut with an accent on the side.

Snip Miami

The hip salon used to be inside the even hipper Base clothing shop. Now that it’s branched out on its own, the space doubles as an art gallery, showcasing local talent.
