Plan Your Bal Harbour Afternoon

From Lyon and the Meatpacking District to Collins Avenue

The salon's About page tells a two-city story. Jean Marc Durante and Reynald Ricard are French hairdressers who brought their craft to the United States in the 1990s. Reynald made New York his base and opened Red Market in the Meatpacking District. Jean Marc, born in Lyon and trained with Jacques Dessange in Paris and New York, settled in Miami, where he launched and ran JMD Salon inside Bal Harbour Shops.

In 2009 the two combined their clients and their teams to create Red Market Miami in the same mall. The FAQ says the salon has now called Bal Harbour Shops home for more than 16 years. Both founders still work the floor. Jean Marc cuts, Reynald colors, and the About page says they keep the technique current with frequent trips back to Paris. Nightlife chronicle World Red Eye summed it up as French technique fused with the beach lifestyle.

Hand-Painted Balayage and What It Costs

Balayage is the reason most first-timers come. The menu prices it by coverage: Face Frame at $225, Partial Head at $250 and Full Head at $395, each listed at 90 minutes. The Signature Red Market Balayage with a root touch-up is $495. Sitting with Reynald himself costs more, with a Full Balayage with Reynald at $450 and The Balayage Experience by Reynald at $600. A gloss or toner after color adds $55.

The FAQ explains why the salon paints freehand. Balayage gives soft ribbons of light and an easier grow-out, while foils lift brighter and suit darker hair that wants to go much blonder. You do not have to choose before you arrive. The salon asks for a few inspiration photos and a current photo of your hair ahead of the appointment, and the colorist picks the technique at the consultation, which is free for color, extensions and smoothing.

Cuts by the Founders Versus the Rising Talent Chairs

Haircut prices follow the stylist. A Ladies Cut is $250, and the same cut with Jean Marc or with managing partner Rogelio Gonzalez is $275. A Ladies Cut with a junior stylist is $125. Men pay $110 for a standard cut and $150 with Jean Marc, and a beard trim is $50. A blow-dry on medium or long hair is $95, short hair $85 and extra-long hair $125. A cut touch-up and a pre-cut consultation are both complimentary.

The Rising Talent tier is the honest money-saver here. Highlights by Rising Talent cost $295 against $495 for full foil highlights. Partial highlights by Rising Talent are $195 and a single process is $110, compared with $150 on the main menu. If you want the Red Market finish and your hair needs maintenance rather than a transformation, book the junior chair and save the founder appointment for the big change.

Ask for Dimitri Before You Pick a Stylist

Red Market does not ask you to guess which of its stylists fits your hair. The FAQ tells guests to call or text the salon and ask for Dimitri Genovas, listed on the team page as Director of Client Relations and described as the Personal Beauty Concierge. He asks about your hair, your goals and how much upkeep you want, then pairs you with a specialist. The salon stresses that a real person answers, never an automated system.

The roster gives him plenty to match from. Brenna Healy is listed as colorist and extension specialist. Miguel Vargas, Melodie Briere and Katie Koren are colorists. Fabián Taylor, Fallon Fitzpatrick and Dekel Alloul are among the stylists, and Dekel doubles as a treatment specialist. The homepage reviews name names too: one guest who arrived with brassy, orange-toned hair called Fallon the best colorist they had ever been to, and another credited Fabián with the best shade of blonde they had ever had.

The Card on File, the 10-Minute Window and Holiday Week

The policies page, last updated October 1, 2026, explains the rules in plain terms. You need a card on file to hold a chair, though nothing is charged at booking and you may pay however you like on the day. Arrive 10 minutes early. The salon holds an appointment for only 10 minutes past its start time. Cancel at least 24 hours ahead for a standard visit and 48 hours ahead for multiple bookings or anything arranged outside normal hours.

No-shows and late cancellations are charged the full price of the service. Extensions and on-location work need a non-refundable deposit paid in advance. Between December 26 and January 1 every appointment needs a deposit, and changing it that week forfeits the deposit. Bookings made through a hotel concierge follow the same rules. Remove jewelry and outer layers before color, since the salon is not responsible for stains. A robe is available if you ask.

Smoothing for Salt Air: Keratin or Pro-Addiction

The smoothing menu is built for humidity off the Atlantic. A Keratin treatment is $450 and the FAQ says it typically lasts three to four months. The salon's premium option, the PRO Addiction Smoothing Treatment, is $575 and is formaldehyde-free, and the FAQ says it can last up to 6 months while keeping natural movement. The KC Express Smoothing Treatment is $250, a Keratin-Infused Blow Out $150 and a men's keratin $250.

If your only problem is dryness, skip keratin altogether. The FAQ separates Hair Botox, a $300 deep-conditioning treatment that restores moisture without changing texture, from keratin, which actually smooths and shortens styling time. Smaller add-ons fill the gap: K18 Molecular Repair is $65, a Metal Detox $65 and OI Liquid Luster for shine $45. The menu also lists a complimentary 120-minute Pre-Pro Addiction appointment, so ask when you book whether your hair needs that first visit.

Russian Manicures While the Color Processes

Red Market also runs a nail bar, which is useful when a color appointment stretches past two hours. The specialty is the Russian-style dry manicure done with an electric file for close cuticle work. A Russian Gel Polish Manicure with removal is $140, the Red Market Signature Manicure $85 and a Classic Manicure $60. Lila Dray, Irina Recio and Dinorah Pena Giganea are the nail technicians on the team page.

Ask the front desk to time the manicure against your processing window rather than booking it afterward. A Color Correction is listed at 180 minutes and $595, and the policy warns that correction usually takes more than one appointment. Book the first session on a weekday morning, when the 9 am opening gives the colorist the full day, rather than a Sunday, when the salon closes at 6 pm.

If Red Market Is Booked Solid

The policy page explains why the books fill early: many guests are only in town for a few days. If no chair opens, take any free consultation slot so the colorist can plan, then book the work for your next trip. For maintenance between visits, the complimentary cut touch-up and the RM Color Re-do are on the menu, so the guarantee and small fixes do not need a new paid booking.

If you need color this week and cannot get in, Atma Beauty, at 1874 West Ave in Miami Beach's Sunset Harbour, books online and is about a 20-minute drive south on Collins Avenue. It publishes its own menu and booking calendar. Go there for a refresh, and come back to Red Market for anything that needs a founder or a color correction.

Koi Ponds, the Beach Path and Haulover After Your Blow-Dry

The salon sits on the third level of Bal Harbour Shops, an open-air mall known for its koi ponds and thick tropical planting, and its About page uses a photo of that courtyard to show where to find it. A fresh blow-dry and an hour in the shade of the upper walkways is the obvious way to show it off. The mall's restaurants and boutiques open onto the same courtyard.

Across Collins Avenue, the ocean is a short walk away along Bal Harbour's beachfront path. Head north and you reach Haulover Park at Baker's Haulover Inlet, where boats run out to sea. Head south and Bal Harbour gives way to Surfside's Harding Avenue, a strip of small cafés and shops. Skip the beach entirely if you just had smoothing done, because salt water on new keratin is a waste of $450.
