This salon is amazing; I have been looking for a great salon since I moved to Florida. Carol fixed my color and gave me great options, and really tried to save my hair from being damaged. Stephanie did the exact hair cut I wanted; it looks just like the picture I brought in. The most important thing is that they both listen to what you want and like, in order to give you the best hair style. This solon is wonderful. Carol and Stephanie are hair gurus!

Pros: best hairstylist,colorist, prices are very affordable

Cons: hard to locate (although its in a beautiful building)

Salon Serenity is the only place where I get my hair done. I would never let anyone else cut or color my hair even when i travel all over the world. Salon Serenity has saved my hair! my colorist only does color and of all the salons ive been and tried not once have i left not looking amazing, my stylists specializes in the very best cuts. It is a pleasure to go to Salon Serenity also very luxurious.!

Pros: first class service, free valet parking at the finest building on the beach!

I had really long hair and decided that I wanted to donate it to Locks of Love. I've had long hair for years and I was really afraid of parting with it. I read all the great reviews for this salon and decided to give it a try. Stefanie was amazing!! First she straightened my hair so I would lose less to make the necessary 10" then she fixed and styled the my remaining hair. I now have this really cute just-shorter than shoulder length cut that I absolutely love! This place is awesome! (p.s. if Stefanie recommends something for your hair, definitely listen to her!)

Pros: really friendly, great atmosphere, great at what they do

Cons: none

Posted 08/07/08

My daughters and I would never go anywhere else for a haircut or color. They take the time to listen to each and every person and they do exactly what we ask for. Stephanie did an incredible job with my daughter's hairdo for her big birthday party (I hope you know who'll be doing her hair for her wedding!). Carol doesn't bat an eye no matter what color my other daughter asks her for! These ladies are the best!

Posted 07/07/08

I had the same hair stylist for years when I lived in Massachusetts, so when I moved to Florida in February, I was very nervous about someone else doing anything to my hair. I spent hours online researching and trying to find reviews about salons, and when I came across Salon Serenity, I was so impressed with all of the positive, five-star reviews, that I felt I could trust whoever would be cutting my hair.

All the great reviews were 100% accurate. Stefanie and Carol made me feel so comfortable and were so friendly. They have such a great dynamic together. Stefanie listened to what I wanted done with my hair and it was better than any hair cut I have ever had before. I knew it looked great when I left the salon, so the real test for me was when I washed my hair and how it looked when I let it dry naturally or styled it. My hair is usually pretty hard to deal with since it's so thick and tends to frizz from the humidity, but no matter what I do with it now, it looks great, and it's so easy to manage.

I can now understand why everyone follows Stefanie and Carol wherever they go, because I'll be doing the same!

Pros: Everything!

Cons: None

Posted 07/03/08

I am extreamly pleased with Salon Saerenity, after moving to Miami I was mutalated and disfiguered time and time again from suposed high end salons. At salon serenity they not only treat you like a vip but also like a friend, a friend that gives the best haircut in town. I rate salon serenity a 5 star establishment. Thank you Ms. Sunshine!

Pros: Great haircut, on time, VIP service

Cons: None

Posted 05/13/08

I went to Salon Serenity for a straightening treatment to try to tame my fine, frizzy wavy hair. When Stephanie was finished, my hair was super straight, super soft and SUPER SHINY!! It looks amazing and is so much easier to dry and style in the morning. I love my new hair!!!!!

Posted 05/13/08

I have been following Stephanie around for over 10 years! Steph introduced me to Carol, who has been coloring my hair for years as well. They are quite a team! Having long, curly hair can be quite a challenge to keep healthy, but with Steph and Carol, my hair looks amazing! I've tried other hairdressers, but no one even comes close!

Pros: Parking is free and easy. Very accommodating!

Cons: NONE

Posted 05/12/08

I always say that it takes a villiage to make me look "naturally" beautiful. For me, that villiage is composed of the ladies at Salon Serenity. Stephanie and Carol have been overseeing my coifs for +5 years. I have gone other places in a pinch, only to run back to Stephanie and Carol to have "fixed" any disaster that has befallen me at the hands of some other stylist. Carol's eye for finding the exact hair color to compliment any skin type is an artistic gift. Stephanie talks to her clients first and then customizes a cut that is both stylish and applicable to the lifestyle of the client. At Salon Serenity you will be pampered; their professionalism and attention to their clientelle is second to none. I highly recommend going in and trying one of their wonderful services, you are guaranteeed to come back for many more.

Pros: cell phone's do not get reception - so you don't have to worry about being bothered

Cons: cell phone's do not get reception, but there's always a great conversation to join in on

Posted 05/12/08

Fabulous color, fantastic haircuts, and a very warm and soothing atmosphere. Stef and Carol are the best!

Posted 05/12/08

I have been a client of Stephanie's since 1997 & have followed her for many years during her moves. She not only is a great & talented hairdresser but has also become a friend. How many hairdressers know your phone number off by heart?
I met Carol who does my haircolor through a friend. She helped transform my platinum, bleached-out,
fried hair into a sophisticated shade of blonde that is much more natural & lower maintenance.
I relocated to Key Largo two years ago & still drive the 150 mile round-trip to go to Salon Serenity because of the quality of their work!
The ambience is friendly with an ocean view & they always have fresh, delicious coffee & plenty of chocolates to snack on!!!
I would highly recommend this salon to anyone!

Pros: Friendly atmosphere, valet parking & close to Bal Harbour Shops!!!

Cons: No cell phone reception.

Posted 05/12/08

Stephanie and Carol have been cuting and coloring my hair for 10+ years. They are both professional and amazing at what they do. Most importantly, they listen to what I want done every time I sit in their chair. They also have great sugestions if you are looking for something different. The salon is beautiful and full service. You can get your hair done, your nails, a wax or any type of spa treatment. Furthermore, they are a pleasure to spend time with. I love going to see them and I highly recommend their services.

Pros: Excellent hair cut and color

Cons: none

Posted 05/12/08

If you have long hair Stefanie Galiardo is an absolute Godsend!

Stefanie fully respects your personal preferences, while still making sure that your style is always slightly updated in a subtle - yet in a meaningful way. Equally important, she also takes into consideration your own styling limitations and the reality of SOFLA humidity (!!!!) to make sure that the cut continues to look great once you're on your own. She truly has expert knowledge of hair - and it shows.

I've been going to her for 8 years now and couldn't be happier!

FYI: I intially discovered her when as a new SOFLA resident I surveyed about 6 women on SOBE with gorgeous, well-maintained locks and asked who their stylist was. No less than three women - not only mentioned Stefanie - they positively gushed about her work. I needed no further proof.

Incidentally, over the years I have also seen her cut many others - some with short hair, and several men. EVERYONE is always very pleased that she's considered their quirks - yet made sure they walk out that door with a high-quality, contemporary cut that is a breeze to maintain.

Posted 05/11/08

I felt very comfortable with the suggestions made by Stephanie regarding a new hair cute. My new style is amazing for me. And the color choices made by Carol are fabulous. Great place & cool chicks!

Pros: Thumbs up all around!

Cons: None I can think of ?

Posted 05/11/08

I have long hair and have searched for years all over Miami for an excellent, consistent stylist. I heard through a friend of a friend about Stefanie Gallardo and have been thankful ever since!! She is truly an expert at her craft. Every haircut I have with her, Stefanie is able to cut it in way that brings out my natural curl--which for some reason, other stylists have not been able to do right. Plus, she understands how to layer long hair so that it flatters the shape of my face. Even if I am overdue for a trim, I still get a lot of compliments. I look forward to the treat of making an appointment with her. Overall, she is an excellent stylist and I recommend her to anyone (any length, style) who cares enough about their hair to get it done right.

Posted 05/05/08

This is a great salon! Beatiful and relaxing atmosphere! Very friendly staff! Carol did a great job and I got many compliments on my highlights! Please go and check it out for yourself!

Pros: Wonderful service

Cons: none

Posted 04/20/08

I've been going to these ladies for six years now and I wouldn't go anywhere else! If you want the best color and cut this is the place. Carol and Stephanie welcome you like a friend and treat you like a queen.

Beautiul salon and exceptional service!

Pros: great service, friendly atmosphere, great location, free valet

Cons: none

Posted 03/13/08

If you don't mind looking at the ocean and drinking a beer in a fancy spa while getting the best haircut in s. fl. then you'd probably like this place.

Posted 03/13/08

Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous... these ladies completely compliment one another with their modern and artistic touch on hair. Not only did I enjoy the new me when I left, I enjoyed their company and conversations as well. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Salon Serenity! See you soon! ~ Sara

Posted 01/02/08

I have followed Stefanie and Carol for years and will continue to follow them anywhere they go. Their new spot, Salon Serenity is a calm and soothing place and is just the atmosphere I need to relax and focus on my hair and style needs. Their professionalism is top notch but it's the mastery of their craft which places Stefanie and Carol among the very best of hair stylists in Miami. They make me look fabulous.Visiting them is like visiting friends. Stefanie and Carol are the only stylists for me.

Posted 12/26/07

Congratualtions!!

Stephanie is an AMAZING hairstylist! I have been going to her for the past five months and have been EXTREMELY satisfied with each haircut. She?s VERY talented and she listens to what I want, which is something extremely important when you?re trying a new hairstyle. I HIGHLY recommend Stephanie to anybody who is ready to be all they can be.

Posted 08/09/07

I am so thrilled with the color we picked for my hair. Carol was very good in her consultation with me about what color would look best on me. She was right!!!!!! The cut I recieved from Stefanie framed my face perfectly. It is great to walk into a salon and get exactly what you asked for. I am sending all my friends to them. They will not be disappointed.

Pros: parking

Posted 08/07/07

After making a mess of my hair....Carol to the rescue giving me the best color ever for my skin tone....amazing. Then comes Stefanie with a youthful cut and style....and voila I looked fabulous.
No rush, great service and No Sales. Perhaps Nina needed the Products????
You have to love these Gals.. I'll be back!!

Pros: All Pros

Cons: No Cons

Posted 08/07/07

i wouldnt go there again, they didnt do what i asked them to do, i felt like i went to store,not to hair salon, coz in stead doing what i asked them to do, they r more into selling the products .

Posted 07/11/07

These women are amazing! The experience and service exceeds any I've had before. Carol is amazing with color and Stefanie cuts my hair exactly the way I want it. I get compliments all the time about both my cut and color. I wouldn't go anywhere else in South Florida.

Posted 02/25/07

this was my first time at studio 31 and i am so happy that i found them. i have been trying to find a good stylists for over a year. there prices are reasonable but best of all i finally left a salon feeling great about my hair. carol and stephanie really took the time to make sure i would be happy with my hair. stephaines cut was very stylish and carols highlights were more than i expected! they are a great team and i wil defiantly be coming back to them.

Pros: valet service made it really easy to get in and get out

Posted 02/23/07

I had yet to find a place in South Florida until... Studio 31 Hair Design. Carol did an amazing job with my highlights. She kept them natural as I had asked and matched my skin tone perfectly. Also I had my boyfriend in for a cut by Stephanie and it looks great!

Posted 02/15/07

Carol and Stefanie work so well together. I get my hair colored by Carol and then Stefanie works her magic!
My hair feels good and looks even better. I am very happy with the services they provide.

Pros: great color and cut

Cons: none

Posted 01/28/07

This was my first time ever going to Studio 31 and I am definitly going back. Carol did my color which came out beautiful and Stephanie did my haircut which came out very stylish. I have very long, thick hair and they really took their time and they werent in a rush to get me out of their salon to help the next person. I have recommended this salon to all my family and friends!!! I can not say enough good things about this salon and their prices are very reasonable! This salon is small but quaint, and Carol and Stephanie are sweethearts.

Pros: Everything was wonderful about this salon

Posted 01/13/07

Carol and Stef bring you a salon experience on a unique level. Not only are the amazingly talented, and original with their "work", but they also bring their funky personalities into their creations. It is always an enjoyable, fun time in Studio 31. I highly recommend you make an appointment today!

Posted 01/09/07

I've moved to Coral Springs but I make the hours drive anyway - I wouldn't entrust my hair to anyone else. You'll find the highest level of professionalism at Studio 31, in a very comfortable and cozy environment along with great conversation. The bottom line though is that they are highly competent professionals with a way of tuning into my individual needs. Stefanie also isn't afraid to make styling suggestions and help me with fashion trends and tips. I just can't say enough positive things about Studio 31.

Posted 11/18/06

These two very talented stylists always seem to meet my expectations on the look that I want during each visit to their Studio. Stephanie always manages to style my hair in ways I never thought I could imagine and Carol always seems to get the exact color that I request. I have had my hair done at many salons and I have never been able to have a consistent stylist because at some point something goes wrong, either my hair comes out orange or very damaged. My hair has never looked as shiny and healthy as it does now since I have been going to these two ladies.
If you are looking for stylists that are dedicated to give you the look that you want then check out Studio 31 with Carol and Stephanie.

Pros: very comfortable atmosphere.

Cons: none

Posted 10/18/06

Stephanie and Carol are always willing to fit me into their busy schedule at the last minute. They give great advice on what style will look the best on me. Very comfortable, casual, friendly atmosphere.

Pros: Good people

Cons: None

Posted 10/18/06

Studio 31 has 2 of the best ladies in South Florida. Stephanie has been cutting my hair for 5 years and she always gives me the best cut I have ever had for my hair texture. AND I was able to get my hair the absolute perfect color. I've wanted white hair for 3 or 4 years and no one could or would do it. But Carol did it and I'm thrilled. They are the best. I highly recommend them.

Posted 10/17/06

I've been to many high end salons, from Coral Gables to Williams Island and none of them have been able to perfect the color that I desire, until I met Carol at Studio 31. She matched the color I wanted perfectly. She's the best colorist I've ever had. Steph's hair cut was exactly what I wanted. Studio 31 is a fabulous salon with a personalized touch.

Posted 09/14/06

Stephanie and Carol are true hair propfessionals, the best stylists that I have ever had. I constantly get compliments on my cut and color. I have extremely straight, long, and thick hair, and no one has ever made me look so good. They are both very flexible with their schedules and never make me feel bad if I have to reschedule a couple of days before. Beside the fact that I have the best hair in my whole life, going to the salon is always fun. Their clientele are beautiful, interesting, and fun; it's just always such a pleasure to go. Even though I may not know the other clients on the day of my appointment, we all eventually join in the conversation and it's kind of like a group therapy as a bonus. Between the beautiful hair and female compassion, I always leave feeling like a new person.

Posted 07/29/06

I was on vacation in florida and while i was there I found the best salon to go to.
