Haus of Hair

Haus of Hair sits along South Dixie Highway in the southern reach of Coral Gables, a stretch of the city that tends to fly under the radar compared to the boutiques of Miracle Mile but is home to a growing cluster of independent beauty businesses. The salon was founded by two working stylists, Bendra and Steph, who bring a combined tally of nearly three decades of industry experience between them, including training at well known academies associated with names like Vidal Sassoon, Wella, and Oribe.

As a women owned, full service hair studio, Haus of Hair focuses on cuts, color, and makeup application, positioning itself as a place where clients can handle both their hair and their makeup needs for an event without a second appointment elsewhere. The founders’ training pedigree matters here, since those academy programs are known for rigorous technical education in precision cutting and color theory, and that foundation shows up in the level of detail the stylists bring to everyday appointments, not just special occasion bookings.

The salon’s stated mission centers on helping clients feel empowered and stylish, language that reflects a genuine focus on client experience rather than simply moving people through a chair quickly. For a newer salon built by two stylists starting their own business rather than joining an existing chain, that kind of client centered philosophy tends to translate into more personalized consultations, since every appointment directly reflects on the founders’ own reputation.

Haus of Hair keeps a consistent Monday through Saturday schedule running from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., though the salon does note that hours can vary based on stylist availability, a common reality for smaller independent studios where a handful of stylists are managing their own client books. Booking ahead is generally the safer bet, particularly for weekend slots.

The South Dixie Highway location places Haus of Hair within the southern Coral Gables area near the Underline linear park corridor, a part of the city that has been steadily developing its own identity distinct from the more tourist facing downtown core. For residents of this part of Coral Gables, having a well regarded independent salon nearby means not having to trek north to Miracle Mile for quality color and cutting work. Anyone interested in the specific training background the founders bring from their Vidal Sassoon and Oribe education should ask about it directly during a consultation, since that technical foundation is a genuine point of differentiation for a salon of this size.
