Midtown's most trusted beauty addresses.
Miami's art-and-design corridor stretches from the Design District's Palm Court luxury precinct south through Midtown Miami's walkable mixed-use blocks to the edge of Edgewater on Biscayne Bay. Beauty businesses here span the full spectrum — from the international prestige of IGK Salon and Dr. Barbara Sturm to the deeply local, award-winning craft of Aurora Nails Bar — all within walking distance of some of the best architecture and public art in the city.
