7 Hair Studio

7 Hair Studio operates along NE 163rd Street in North Miami Beach, part of the continuous run of small beauty and personal care businesses that make up one of the city’s two main commercial corridors, the other being West Dixie Highway a few blocks to the west. Studios of this size generally run on a handful of styling chairs, which keeps the atmosphere more intimate than a large salon and allows stylists to build closer working relationships with regular clients.

A studio format, as opposed to a full service salon with a large staff, often means each stylist effectively runs their own book of clients under one shared roof, sometimes renting a chair or booth rather than working as a salaried employee. This is a common business model for smaller beauty shops throughout Miami Dade County, and it tends to give clients more consistency, since they are usually working with the same stylist visit after visit rather than whoever is on the schedule that day.

North Miami Beach’s 163rd Street corridor has developed a strong concentration of these smaller, independently run studios over the years, giving residents in the surrounding blocks a wide range of stylists and specialties to choose from without needing to leave the neighborhood. The street itself is lined with a mix of older strip retail buildings, small standalone storefronts, and a handful of larger anchor businesses, typical of a commercial district that grew up gradually rather than being built out as a single planned shopping center.

Services at a shop like 7 Hair Studio typically include the standard range expected from a full service salon, cuts, color, and blowouts among them, though the exact offerings and pricing depend on the individual stylists working there at any given time. Because small studios often adjust their hours and specialties based on staffing, calling ahead before a visit is generally the more reliable approach, especially for anyone hoping to book with a specific stylist. Many studio format shops also post their current stylist roster and rough pricing on a card taped near the entrance, which is a quick way for a first time visitor to get a sense of what to expect before committing to an appointment.

For North Miami Beach residents looking for a local alternative to the national salon chains found in the shopping centers along Biscayne Boulevard and further north toward Aventura, 7 Hair Studio is one of the independently operated shops keeping the 163rd Street corridor a genuine, walkable neighborhood business district.
