FAQs

At Hairports Miami, we know you may have questions before booking your appointment — and we’re here to make things simple. This page covers our most frequently asked questions about services, appointments, extensions, treatments, and more, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before your visit.

Men Services

How often should men get a haircut?

Most men benefit from a haircut every 3–4 weeks to keep their style sharp and maintain clean lines. Shorter styles like fades and tapers may require touch-ups every 2–3 weeks, while longer styles can go 6–8 weeks between cuts. Regular visits ensure your hair always looks intentional and well-groomed.


What’s the difference between a barber cut and a salon men’s haircut?

A traditional barber cut usually focuses on clipper work and simple styles, while a men’s haircut at Hairports Miami combines precision scissor techniques, advanced styling, and a personalized consultation. Our stylists blend classic grooming with modern trends, giving you a custom look that fits your lifestyle.


Do you offer beard trimming and grooming services?

Yes — we provide beard trims, shaping, and grooming services that can be booked separately or combined with your haircut. Our Men’s Cut + Beard Combo is a popular choice for clients who want a complete refresh in one visit.


Can I choose my stylist when booking online?

Absolutely. Our booking system lets you select your preferred stylist based on their specialties and availability. If you’re new, we recommend exploring our Meet the Stylists page to find someone who matches your style preferences.

Do you accept walk-ins, or should I book in advance?

We welcome walk-ins whenever possible, but we strongly recommend booking online to secure your preferred time and stylist. Our Midtown location is popular, and spots often fill up quickly — booking ahead guarantees a stress-free visit.

How often should women get a haircut?

Most women benefit from a trim every 6–8 weeks to maintain healthy ends and shape. If you have shorter styles or bangs, a visit every 4 weeks keeps your look sharp.


Can I combine my haircut with color or treatment services?

Yes — many clients book a cut + color + treatment in one session. Our booking system makes it easy to add services, and we’ll adjust timing so everything is done in a single appointment.


What haircut makes hair look thicker?

Cuts like a blunt bob, lob, or long layers create the illusion of fullness in women with fine or thinning hair. Pairing the right cut with volumizing products (like Davines or Milbon) helps maintain body between visits.

Do you offer bridal or special occasion styling for women?

Yes — we specialize in bridal hair, bachelorette party styling, and special events. You can book a haircut and styling package, or explore our Events & Community page for private salon experiences.


Coloring

How long does professional hair color last?

Most professional hair color lasts 6–8 weeks, depending on your hair type, color choice, and at-home care routine. Using salon-grade, color-safe shampoos and conditioners can help extend the vibrancy and shine of your color between appointments.

What’s the difference between balayage and highlights?
  • Highlights use foils to create structured brightness and dimension.
  • Balayage is a freehand painting technique that produces a more natural, sun-kissed effect with a softer grow-out.

Both can be customized to your desired look — our stylists will recommend the best option for your hair type and lifestyle.

How often should I touch up my roots?

For most clients, root touch-ups are recommended every 4–6 weeks for grey coverage and every 6–8 weeks for standard regrowth. Balayage and ombre services typically require less frequent maintenance, making them a good choice for lower-maintenance color.


Can I combine my haircut with color or treatment services?

Yes — many clients book a cut + color + treatment in one session. Our booking system makes it easy to add services, and we’ll adjust timing so everything is done in a single appointment.


Can I color my hair if it’s already damaged?

Yes — but we always prioritize hair health first. Our stylists use protective, bond-building treatments from brands like Davines, Milbon, and OWAY to strengthen your hair before and during the coloring process. For severely damaged hair, we may recommend a treatment plan before going lighter.

How do I maintain my hair color at home?

To keep your color looking fresh:

  • Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and conditioner
  • Wash less frequently (2–3 times a week)
  • Protect your hair from heat styling and UV rays
  • Schedule regular gloss or toner refreshes every 4–6 weeks
  • Incorporate salon-recommended treatments for hydration and protection


Styling

When should I book my special occasion styling appointment?

We recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance to secure your spot, especially during wedding and holiday seasons.

Do you offer bridal party or group styling?

Yes — we provide bridal packages, group sessions, and private salon bookings for weddings, bachelorette parties, and special events.

How long does special occasion styling take?

Depending on the style, most appointments last 45–90 minutes. Bridal styling or intricate updos may require extra time, so we recommend a trial run in advance.

Will my hairstyle last through the event?

Yes — we use professional products and techniques designed for durability. For long events (like weddings), we can recommend add-ons like extensions or extra finishing sprays for all-day hold.


Do you offer makeup services with hairstyling?

While we specialize in hairstyling, we work with trusted makeup artists in Miami and can recommend or coordinate makeup services for your special event. Many clients choose to book both hair and makeup together for a complete look.

Hair Treatment

How long does professional hair color last?

Most professional hair color lasts 6–8 weeks, depending on your hair type, color choice, and at-home care routine. Using salon-grade, color-safe shampoos and conditioners can help extend the vibrancy and shine of your color between appointments.

Hair Extensions

Are hair extensions safe for my natural hair?

Yes — when applied professionally with premium products, extensions are completely safe. At Hairports Miami, we use 100% human hair extensions and damage-free application methods like keratin tips, fusion, and tape-ins to ensure the health and integrity of your natural hair.

How long do hair extensions last?

It depends on the method:

  • Keratin Tip Extensions (K-Tip): 3–4 months
  • Fusion Extensions: 4–5 months
  • Tape-In Extensions: 6–8 weeks (reusable)

With proper care and maintenance, extensions can last their full expected time — sometimes even longer.

Which hair extension method is best for me?

It depends on your hair type, lifestyle, and goals:

  • K-Tip Extensions → most natural look, perfect for fine–medium hair.
  • Fusion Extensions → best for thicker hair and long-term wear.
  • Tape-In Extensions → quick, gentle, and great for short-term or special events.

We always start with a complimentary consultation to determine the best method for you.

Will hair extensions look natural?

Absolutely. We use only premium, ethically sourced human hair and blend it seamlessly with your natural color and texture. With expert placement, your extensions will look, feel, and move like your own hair.


Can I style my extensions like my natural hair?

Yes — you can wash, blow-dry, curl, and straighten your extensions just like your own hair. We recommend using professional heat protectants and sulfate-free products to keep them looking their best.

How do I take care of hair extensions?

To maintain your extensions, we recommend:

  • Using sulfate-free, extension-safe products
  • Brushing daily with an extension-friendly brush
  • Sleeping on a silk pillowcase
  • Avoiding heavy oils at the root area
  • Scheduling regular maintenance visits
