Why stylists from Design District drive to LAHH Salon

The drive from Design District to LAHH Salon is about 22 minutes via south on Biscayne Boulevard to NE 41st Street. Most of our stylists who commute from Design District cite the same reasons: a real education program, a respectful schedule, low team turnover, and the chance to build a personal client book at a salon that protects the chair instead of pushing volume.

Design District is known for the luxury fashion and design retail district north of Wynwood. Stylists who live in or near Design District often serve a return clientele based in their own community, while building a steady book at a salon with a different local clientele in Bay Harbor Islands. Both books grow at the same time.

How a colorist career develops at LAHH Salon

Color requires daily reps under guidance for at least 18 to 24 months before a stylist can comfortably handle complex sessions like color correction, gray blending on dark base, or platinum lifts on textured hair.

At LAHH Salon, our color education runs alongside the apprenticeship and continues for senior stylists. Emily Safran-Wands and Kye Dailey lead our color program. Topics include Davines color theory, balayage hand-painting, foiling patterns, gloss and toner formulation, color correction, and bond-building protocols with Olaplex.

We send colorists to brand education classes paid by the salon. We pair every junior on a complex color appointment with a senior who explains the formula and approach in real time.
