i got a haircut there and was not happy about it at the end. but what could i really say, it was done and over with and nothing could be done but to wait for it to grow out. i realized that my stylist, though nice and entertaining, had lost her modern touch and didn't have the ability to adapt to what i had asked for. apparently she has been cuttin hair for 15+ years so she has plenty of experience, however after what she did to my hair i realized she had lost her sense of style. i should've realized this the minute i saw her own hair and she said she maintains it herself. it was NOT what i wanted for my own hair. so in the end, what it seems like to me is i got my hair done by someone who has experience but lost her edge- like those ladies that own their own salons where my gramma goes to get her hair done because my gramma knows that their style is ALWAYS the same and never evolving. how tragic for a hairstylist, who should be known to always be fresh and with the latest on the newest styles.

SO- if u want a basic cut, go to her- at least she's dependable and won't make it uneven. On the other hand, if you want something fresh, look for someplace else.

I moved to Miami from DC and wanted to find an Aveda salon because I like Aveda color. I went to Aruj in Coconut Grove and am so happy that I found a great stylist and colorist in Jackie. She is very friendly and attentive ... as is everyone in the salon ... and did a fabulous job with my cut and color. I highly recommend her.

Tara is the bomb!! She knows style and I am always confident that I will get a great cut. The layed back atmosphere makes the whole experience relaxing and fun. I recently had a makeover as a favor for my friend who is on a national t.v. show and now I find myself running to Tara to fix the damage that this famous celebrity hair colorist and stylist did to my hair. I only trust Tara to undo this mess. Never again will I stray. I have a few friends that also get their hair done by Tara and as with myself they always receive compliments from random strangers. Love heeerrrr!

I visited this salon, recommended by a friend, because I was looking for a "new" style. Short and easy to care for -- Tara was my stylist and she was WONDERFUL (I cannot understand how the other reviewer thought Tara was rude -- she is great!!). They started out giving me a great neck massage with a peppermint oil (which helped to cool me off), and Tara told me how she was going to cut my hair for my "new" style -- called the "Tara 2000" haircut. I get so many compliments on my new haircut. It was really a great experience. I'll definitely be back.

If you want a taste of relaxation amidst the hustle and bustle of hectic Miami, then visiting Aruj salon and spa is a must! The spa services are fabulous! I spent 2 hours with Collette the massage therapist/ facialist and was transported by the wonderful aromas, music and last but not least, her phenominal touch! I aslo use Aruj for my haircuts and color! If you are in need of an updated do, See Sarah or Jessica. I've used both of them for cut and color and they did a fabulous job! Not only are the services awesome, but they carry the Aveda product line!! I highly reccommend the salon and spa !!
