NM Lounge Beauty

NM Lounge Beauty is a hair-only salon at 2700 N Miami Ave in Midtown Miami, operated by founder Nayara Magalhães under the trade name of Hair Salon Magalhaes LLC. The salon is open Tuesday to Friday and on Saturday mornings and early afternoons, and is closed Sundays and Mondays.

Every visit starts with a consultation, and prices are quoted once the stylist has looked at the client's hair. Pricing depends on length, density, how much product is needed and the condition of the hair. A gown is provided during services, and payment is due when the service is finished.

The salon's colour work is built around how each client actually lives day to day rather than around a reference photo. Balayage is hand-painted in a method that comes from Brazil, and colour and highlights cover full colour, root work, tone correction and highlights. Haircuts are shaped around the way a client's hair falls and how much time they have for styling in the morning.

Other services include tape-in extensions for added length and density, colour-matched to the client, along with hair treatments for hydration, bond repair and scalp care, and blowouts for evening styling or a polished finish after a long week. Long appointments such as extensions, colour corrections and full-day work may ask for a deposit that is credited to the final bill.

The salon describes itself as technically serious while still feeling like a place to spend an afternoon.

Colour is made to suit each client's daily life rather than a reference photo, and formulas are built from the client's hair history rather than a swatch book.

The salon describes itself as technically serious but relaxed enough to spend an afternoon in.
