Chelsea Rae Salon Miami

Chelsea Rae Salon LLC operates a Pittsburgh salon in Indigo Square on the Eastside, at 5971 Broad Street, and a Miami salon in the MiMo District at 598 NE 77th Street. The business describes itself as one of the industry's leading multicultural hair salons. Pittsburgh can be reached at 412-206-1066 and Miami at 786-690-4856.

After college, Chelsea trained in cosmetology, and she takes classes every quarter to stay current on hair trends. The team's work centers on naturally curly and textured hair, and clients are taught how to look after their own hair between visits.

A visit starts with a customized cut and style, and stylists explain how to care for the hair afterward. Appointments are booked through the salon's online booking site, where clients choose a stylist, service, date and time. A card on file is required for all clients, and a deposit is only taken for fantasy colors and color corrections. Clients are asked to come alone because the space is boutique-style. For dry cuts, hair should be out and loose, with no tight ponytails or sticky products, and a wash is included. Children's haircuts are offered, and a parent or another adult must stay for the full appointment. Jewelry guidance is also given: high collars, turtlenecks, hoodies, and hoop or long earrings are discouraged, while posts are fine.

Pittsburgh hours are 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Monday and Wednesday, 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Tuesday and Thursday, and 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Friday, with Saturday and Sunday by appointment only. Cancellations need 24 hours notice, or a fee of the full service applies. Clients more than 15 minutes late may be asked to reschedule, and late arrivals have their treatment shortened with full charges applied.

Services are built around each client's hair, with customized cuts, treatments and home-care teaching, and the salon states it guarantees the quality of its products and services.

Boutique-style and intimate, with no room for extra guests.
