If you're going to Miami (bienvenido a Miami!), you're going to need a few things: sunscreen, air conditioning, blingin' body jewelry, a bangin' body, and gorgeous, sexy down-to-there hair. The women in Miami don't play around when it comes to grooming, so if you want to hold your own, you're going to have to invest in the hair on your head (and maybe even supplement it with hair from someone else's head). If you're feeling a little unready to join the competition as-is, visit one of the best hair salons in Miami to unleash your inner hair goddess.

1. Todd Jameson Nue Studio
If Alice in Wonderland created a hair salon, Nue Studio would be it. Amongst eclectic music records, unique artwork, and vintage clothing is a team of hairstylists, each one oozing a totally effortless "cool" vibe. The owner, Todd, is a hairstylist/DJ/bartender/artist/busy man but still manages to take a very hands-on approach when it comes to his studio. Reasonably, prices are by the hour rather than the process, so you're literally paying your stylist by how much time they spend with you. The stylists at Nue are known for delivering great straightening treatments, a major plus considering the humidity that covers Miami like a damp, warm, suffocating blanket 90% of the year.

Address: 3470 E Coast Ave, Ste 113, Miami, FL 33137
Phone: (305) 322-8611
Insider Tip: Clients are offered a beer, tequila shot, coffee, or water upon arrival. (Tequila makes for great hair decisions, right?)

2. La Bella Salon
At La Bella Salon, you'll start off with a back and scalp massage -- um, yes, please. Visiting a salon should be a relaxing experience, and there's no better way to chill out than to start off your hair treatment with someone kneading out your worries (and lessening any anxiety you may have about taking the bangs plunge or changing your color). Although this place is on the higher end, the attitude is friendly and approachable. A snarky receptionist won't send you running to Yelp to rant after a cold/snippy/bored demeanor mars your perfect salon day, but their hairstyles do have their clients raving all over the internet -- in a good way. Haircuts for women start at $60 and full highlights are $150-200.

Address: 2604 Ponce De Leon Blvd, Miami, FL 33134
Phone: (305) 444-1412
Insider Tip: The stylists at La Bella are committed to giving back to the community. Check out their events page on their website for charity cut-a-thons.

3. Anastasia Molchanov Salon
Do you need a new best friend who is also really, really good at hair? Of course you do. Enter the ladies at Anastasia Molchanov Salon. Located in a chic, posh building in the MiMo district, walking into this salon is like walking into an Anthropologie store. While customers rave about basics like cuts and color, the stylists are known for the emergency color correction services, long-lasting keratin treatments, and authentic-looking extensions. The downside? You will have to pay these ladies to be your friend...but good friends are hard to come by, right?

Address: 7242 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33138
Phone: (305) 756-7755
Insider Tip: Nikki, one of Anastasia's top stylists, was voted "Best Hair Stylist" in Miami in 2011. Not just at Anastasia Molchanov Salon, but in the entire city of Miami. You should just go ahead and book your appointment.

4. Roberto Giordano Salon & Spa
If you're addicted to blowouts and manis (or want to be addicted to them) you need to join Roberto Giordano Salon's 'Blush' club. For $15 a month, you get unlimited shampoos and blowouts for $15 per service, 10% off any hair service, and 15% off hair products. If you up your membership to Blush Plus for $5 more per month, you can add on unlimited $15 manicures and unlimited $25 pedicures to those benefits. You can apply your discount to an expert cut or color (ask for Emiliano if you're a blonde or have blonde aspirations), hair extensions, hair treatments for damaged hair, or chemical treatments. If you're in the mood to indulge (and after sipping on your complimentary glass of wine, you probably will be), try one of their facials, ranging in price from $60-135. And of course, when in Miami, if you want to do as the Miamians, you can get every single wax-able part of your body taken care of at Roberto's.

Address: 1061 Brickell Plz, Miami, FL 33131
Phone: (305) 400-6663
Insider Tip: On 2-for-1 Tuesdays, you and a friend can get a haircut and a blowdry for the price of one.

5. Oribe Salon
The folks at Oribe have been written up in Allure, Elle, and pretty much every other notable authority on hair salons. Oribe, the owner of the salon and resident overseer of the flagship store in Miami, has developed his own luxury line of hair products, including a 24 karat gold hair pomade that promises to add "instant lustrous glamour" to your hair. The one million dollar signature salon in Miami Beach was opened in 2005 and is the ultimate in luxurious experiences when it comes to the best hair salons in Miami. The open, modern building is all white on white on white with silver accents, including chairs rumored to have been designed by Porsche. While that's not really why us gals visit salons, it's a nice touch to make you feel truly pampered. Treatments at Oribe do run a little higher than normal, with haircuts (blowout included) starting at $100 and a full head of highlights priced at $225, so come prepared to shell out for your new look.

Address: 1627 Euclid Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139
