Red Market Miami
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything guests ask before their visit — haircut timing, color, treatments, nails, consultations, and how we match you with the right artist at Bal Harbour Shops.
Visits & timing
How often should I schedule a haircut?
Most guests benefit from a haircut every 6 to 8 weeks, though the ideal timing depends on your hair length, style, and personal preferences. We believe a great haircut should last — it should maintain its shape, grow out evenly, and continue to look effortless long after you leave the salon. Our cutting techniques are designed to create beautiful movement and balance, so your hair grows out gracefully, not awkwardly, letting you enjoy your style for longer between appointments.
Pricing, consultations & your artist
Why do haircut prices vary between stylists?
A haircut is about much more than the time spent in the chair. Pricing reflects a stylist's years of experience, advanced education, technical expertise, and the level of demand for their work. Our stylists aren't just talented — they're seasoned professionals who have worked with virtually every hair texture, concern, and transformation imaginable. Over the years, each has refined a specialty, whether it's precision cutting, dimensional color, blonding, curls, or extensions. That depth of knowledge lets them personalize every service to you, not simply perform a haircut. Our salon has proudly called Bal Harbour Shops home for over 16 years, serving one of the world's most discerning luxury communities — a reflection of the trust our guests place in us and the consistency of our work.
Are consultations complimentary?
Yes. We offer complimentary consultations for color, extensions, smoothing treatments, and beauty services — the perfect opportunity to discuss your goals, receive expert recommendations, and get transparent pricing before committing to a service. We recommend calling or texting the salon and asking for Dimitri, our Personal Beauty Concierge. Dimitri takes the time to learn about your hair concerns, beauty goals, lifestyle, and desired maintenance level before thoughtfully pairing you with the stylist or specialist best suited to achieve your vision. Our goal is simple: to make sure you are matched with the right expert from the very beginning, so your experience and your results exceed expectations.
How do I choose the right stylist?
Choosing the right stylist shouldn't feel overwhelming, and you shouldn't have to figure it out on your own. Every stylist at Red Market Miami has a unique specialty — French cutting, dimensional blonding, balayage, curly hair, extensions, precision color, or gray coverage. Rather than asking you to guess, our concierge team takes the time to understand your hair, lifestyle, maintenance preferences, and goals before recommending the best fit. What makes us different is that when you call or text Red Market Miami, you are connected with a real person, never an automated system. Our team is here to answer your questions, offer honest guidance, and help you choose the stylist who is right for you.
Color: balayage & highlights
What's the difference between balayage and foil highlights?
Both balayage and foil highlights create beautiful dimension, but they achieve different results — the best technique depends on your desired look, maintenance routine, and how light you want to go. Balayage is a hand-painted technique that creates soft, natural-looking ribbons of light with a seamless, sun-kissed finish. Because it is applied freehand without foils, it typically offers a more subtle lift and requires exceptional precision from your colorist — ideal for guests who love effortless dimension and lower-maintenance grow-out. Foil highlights allow your colorist to achieve brighter, more controlled lightening, making them the preferred choice for darker hair that wants to become significantly blonder or achieve ultra-fine baby lights. Foil applications generally take longer, but they offer maximum precision and can still create a beautifully soft grow-out. Both techniques can be customized for gray blending.
How do I know whether balayage or foil highlights are right for me?
You don't have to decide before you arrive — that's our job. Simply send us a few inspiration photos along with a current photo of your hair before your appointment. During your consultation, your colorist will recommend the technique that best achieves your desired result while keeping your hair healthy.
Smoothing & conditioning treatments
What's the difference between Hair Botox and a keratin treatment?
Although they sound similar, they serve different purposes. Hair Botox is a deep conditioning treatment that restores moisture, softness, and shine without significantly changing your natural texture. Keratin treatments smooth the hair, reduce frizz, and shorten styling time while creating a sleeker finish. Your stylist will recommend the best option based on your hair type and desired result.
What is the Pro-Addiction treatment?
Pro-Addiction is our premium smoothing treatment, designed to eliminate frizz while maintaining your hair's natural movement and body. Unlike traditional keratin treatments, it is free of harsh formaldehyde and leaves hair softer, shinier, and significantly easier to style for up to 6 months — while a keratin treatment typically lasts 3 to 4 months.
Nails
What type of gel manicures do you offer?
We specialize in Russian-style dry manicures, using an electric file for exceptional cuticle detail and a flawless finish. We offer premium gel polish, structured gel, hard gel overlays, and natural nail enhancements — all customized to your nail health and lifestyle.
