A sign of spring: Spas and salons ready to pamper

Community By Megan Jacobo, Reporter Thursday, May 6, 2021

Spring has sprung and Miami Lakers are eager to pamper themselves after the more than year-long challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

And they’re in the right place to get their style on: There are more than 70 spas, hair salons, barber shops, nail parlors and other services that cater to well-being in town which are ready to serve them.

But you better hustle to make your appointments.

Owners of personal care businesses say they are seeing more and more clients come through their doors each week.

“Business has picked
 up a lot, we are almost at full capacity,” said Loira Gonzalez, manager at The Spot Barbershop at 6610 Main St. “In Miami Lakes, this is the most clients we’ve ever seen.

“Clients that were afraid of going out before are now starting to appear,” she said.

Fade haircuts are a popular request at The Spot, which offers beard sculpting and hot towel shaves, too.

As the pandemic was declared in March, 2020, authorities determined personal care providers were among businesses considered non-essential and ordered them closed through the third week in May.

Reopening required salons and shops to adhere to social distancing guidelines and provide hand sanitizer, among other precautions.

The availability of COVID-19 vaccines for all adults has contributed to guys and gals being ready to resume their beauty regimens.

Most businesses continue to require their stylists, nail techs and clients to wear masks, which adds another level of comfort level for everyone inside a salon.

Other shops have plexiglass dividers that separate customers.

Stylist Chelsea Santana also found her clients were eager to get their hair done once Salon de Soleil in the Cypress Village Shopping Center re-opened last May.

“People are here more, since they’ve been at home for so long,” Santana said. “Once they started coming into the salon they felt good, and have kept coming.”
Since re-opening her Selah Skin Studio at 16415 NW 67th Ave. last June after briefly closing during the pandemic, Cristina Zamorano has seen daily growth in her business.

“We have new clients almost every day,” Zamorano said. “It’s been a blessing.”

And like butterflies coming out of their cocoons, customers are eager to flaunt new colors and indulge in some self-care.

Stylists say customers are looking ahead to summer and want lighter hair color.

“People are asking for balayage, blonde (ends) and shadow roots,” said Jose Antonio, manager and stylist at Kolorbar Miami at 6841 Main St.

Susan Soriano is a regular Kolorbar Miami client and visits for mani- cures and pedicures. She is shown in the photo at right with nail tech Nilda Menendez. The staff is fully masked.

“Now I have two vaccines,” said Soriano. “But [before getting the shots] I’ve been coming for about six months with a double mask.”

Nail salon customers are adding a bit of flash to their fingertips, choosing pat- terns instead of just basic color.

At The Nail Garden in the Lake Patricia Shopping Center, clients are requesting a thin French manicure with different colors and abstract swirls and lines on top of that, said owner Olga Alvarez.

Her clients feel better now that many people have had the vaccine, she said.

And like at many other businesses that offer intimate services, a staffer disinfects her salon throughout the day.

At Hanna Jade Beauty Bar in the Windmill Gate Shopping Center, clients returned after it reopened to maintain their hair color, said stylist and Owner Vee-Vashti Matthews.

Yanet Estelles, who is fully vaccinated, said even before getting her shots, she has always felt safe going to Hanna Jade Beauty Bar.

“I am fully vaccinated now but I feel safe like before,” Estelles said.

“We wear masks and I’ve felt fine coming,” she said.
