    Been going to Estuardo’s Hair Studio for two decades and I’m ecstatic with my hair cuts, color and highlights every time!!!It’s centrally located between Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors off NE 26 ST and US /Federal Highway in the plaza, where Egg n You is located.His staff at Salon - Jimmy is amazing too!He always seems to be able to find an appt. Time that’s good for me and it’s not weeks later but usually within a few days!

    I’ve been going to the same hairdresser for 20+ years and then moved. Never thought I’d find someone who does color even better! Estuardo is a genius! On top of that he, Jimmy, and everyone there are so friendly. Brought a book to read and never opened it. Can’t wait for him to cut my hair. Bringing my daughter for a cut over winter break from college. Highly highly recommend!

    Wonderful team. An excellent stylist. Looking for someone who understood the style I wanted...I found Estuardos Hair Studio🥰🥰 I loved their attention, service and kindness...and of course satisfied with the style of my hair. Thank you Estuardo, well see each other soon 😊😊🤗🤗💖💖

    I have been a client of Estuardos for more than 10 years. Estuardo and Jimmy are warm and welcoming and the experience is always a relaxing one. Estuardo is conscientious and meticulous and I can count on walking out with beautifully styled hair. Would not consider going elsewhere.

    What can I say! ESTUARDO was born with scissors in his hands and as a result performs magic with my hair and with all my friends/family, as well!It’s been 25 years that I’ve gone to him and have ALWAYS been satisfied. Strangers, ask me who I go to for my Hairstyle and I give them Estuardo’s contact information. Never been disappointed! My kids and grandkids have been to him, too!

    I have been going to Estuardios for a couple years now, and all I can say is wow. Joel is my stylist and always does an amazing job, gives me ideas and I am always happy when done. Estuardio, Jimmy and the whole team are so welcoming and friendly. Look no further than Estuardios for an excellent hair cut or color, all while being treated as family!

  • Review 8 (2022-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    I recently went to Estuardo’s Hair Salon as a first time client and I had a great experience. Joel was my hair stylist and he did an amazing job lightening, cutting, and blowing out my hair! The atmosphere was fun and laid back and everyone was super friendly and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in the door. I’m looking forward to my next appointment. Thank you:) Kristie

    Ive been going to Estuardos for over 19 years. He started out has my hairdresser, but has turned into my dear friend. When I enter the salon, Im greeted with the friendliest staff imaginable. Their environment is clean, professional along with excellent service. Over the years the hair styles may have changed, but the one constant is Estuardo and his awesome crew. Would highly recommend visiting the salon for any hair and nail service.

  • Review 10 (2021-06-23 - Rating: 5)

    I have been going to Estuardo for over fifteen years and have never been disappointed. He is a gifted stylist who is as lovely as a person as he is talented. I have referred many people to him because I am so frequently complimented on my cut and or the coloring. His staff is always friendly and caring, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I love them as family- I can’t say enough good things about Estuardo and his crew!

  • Review 11 (2024-10-20 - Rating: 5)

    The best salon in South Florida let alone Fort Lauderdale! Thank you Estuardo

  • Review 12 (2022-08-01 - Rating: 5)

    Estuardo is a true artisan when it comes to cutting, coloring and caring for hair. I have been a client for more than 10 years and am always amazed at how much love he pours into his work. His staff, Ally and Jimmy, are always on point and make clients feel welcomed and cared for. Estuardo is the best in East FTL. Feel so blessed to know him as my stylist and friend. Highly recommend! ❤️

  • Review 13 (2022-05-27 - Rating: 5)

    I have been getting highlights and hair cuts at this salon for nearly 20 years. The salon is warm and authentic in its simplicity. Esturdo is king of color and updo’s. The other stylist are all very talented, especially Christina. Jimmy the salon manager is a prince and will always do all he can to ensure you have an appointment when you need it and are pleased with your visit.Some of the kindest and most enjoyable people I spend time with each month. Huge local, long term following of clients!

  • Review 14 (2021-03-13 - Rating: 5)

    I haven’t been to another hair salon in over 10 years. Estuardo is a perfectionist and I always look forward to coming in. My hair always looks amazing and the environment is very welcoming. Very clean and safe. Jimmy is the best and always works with my schedule and makes sure I am taken care of. Every business should be like this.

  • Review 15 (2021-12-07 - Rating: 5)

    Estuardo’s is my favorite salon and Christina is the best! My color, highlights and cut were perfect! You can see her passion for her work and making sure her clients are 100% satisfied with the results. I highly recommend her!

  • Review 16 (2021-09-21 - Rating: 5)

    Estuardo is great, love my new cut! Jimmy was very helpful too! Will be a customer for life!

  • Review 17 (2022-06-06 - Rating: 5)

    Christina did an AMAZING job on my hair! I was in need of a great haircut and was able to get an appointment quickly. Christina gave me exactly what I asked for - a refreshing cut and beautiful highlights. Everyone at the salon is incredibly welcoming and friendly. Great experience/outcome and will be referring all of my friends here!!

  • Review 18 (2022-06-05 - Rating: 5)

    I love Estuardo’s! It’s my only go to place for haircut and coloring. Estuardo is an artist, always inspired, kind and engaging. Jimmy and all the crew are fun, professional and a joy to be around. I always leave with a smile, happy with my haircut and look. I so recommend Estuardo’s!

  • Review 19 (2021-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    Christina has done such a wonderful job helping me achieve the *cool blonde* highlights that I prefer with no yellowing in sight! She has the ability to get my highlights closer to my roots than any other hairstylist has been able to in the past, which I know can be very hard to do. Every time I walk into Estuardos I feel very welcomed by the staff and I highly recommend booking an appointment with Christina for all your hairstyling needs!

  • Review 20 (2022-06-11 - Rating: 5)

    Estuardo has been coloring, cutting and styling my hair for over 20 years. It’s always a welcoming and relaxing experience going there. Jimmie, Ali and Sara are amazing too. I have tried others over the years but always return to Estuardo. I ❤️ him!

  • Review 21 (2023-11-03 - Rating: 5)

    It makes sense this place gets 5 stars. Estuardo took me as a walk-in. The place feels friendly and he treated me like a long time customer on my first visit. And my hair looks amazing! Thanks!

  • Review 22 (2021-03-03 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve been going to Estuardo for 20 years to cut my hair! My favorite thing about him is he always makes me look my best! Estuardo not only gives me a great hair cut and blow out, he’s always so welcoming and kind. We have become friends throughout the many years. Also I can’t forget about Jimmy who works in the salon, he is the best, and always accommodating.

  • Review 23 (2021-05-20 - Rating: 5)

    I was recommended to see Estuardo by my aunt. She always spoke so highly of him as a hair dresser but also as a loyal friend. When I had the opportunity to book an appointment with him, I took it and have never looked back! He has given my blonde, highlighted hair a new healthy life! She was right about him having a great salon but he really is an even better person and friend!

  • Review 24 (2021-11-18 - Rating: 5)

    Ive received 4-5 haircuts from Estuardo and theyve been the best Ive gotten in 30 years. The compliments pour in everytime I leave his chair. Estuardo is a kind hearted, stylish and cheeky gentleman, easy to get along with and tons of fun to gab to. I will be visiting his salon for as long as Im able.His prices are beyond reasonable! Beautiful blowouts! The incidental scalp massage accompanying the shampooing is melt worthy. The vibe is cozy and the energy feels like a hug. Jimmy, Estuardos right hand man, has fantastic customer service skills and makes the scheduling and checking out feel exciting. 👍 👍Id highly recommend this salon to any individual!

  • Review 25 (2018-01-25 - Rating: 5)

    After years of searching for a hair stylist, my good friend Jaime referred me to Estuardos. I always loved her hair styles and trusted her completely. From booking my appointment to leaving the chair I had the BEST experience! The gentleman at the front desk was helpful and kind and really the entire staff was friendly. The studio is super cute and relaxed. I was so sick of going to these high end salons, where they would overcharge, make you wait 30 minutes and then leave you with nothing more than an okay do. Finding this gem of a salon was a relief.Estuardo knew exactly what I wanted and he literally gave me the best haircut of my life. If you have been searching high and low... look no further. Estuardos is the place to go! ;)

  • Review 26 (2021-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    This is only my second time back at Estuardo’s but I’ll be coming many more times in the foreseeable future. Staff are very friendly and I’m always taken care of and given the best haircut. I’ve trusted Estuardo and Jimmy to have me go from dark black hair to platinum blonde and it turned out amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great haircut/styling from friendly professionals who know exactly what they are doing.

  • Review 27 (2021-12-04 - Rating: 5)

    On a recommendation I made an appointment to have my hair cut at Estuardo’s Hair Studio. Joel was my stylist and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Joel was fantastic. He listened and met my expectations. Estuardo and Jim were so welcoming.

  • Review 28 (2021-10-06 - Rating: 5)

    This salon is absolutely fabulous. I have never had a haircut by Estuardo in the almost 20 years that I did not like. Whether it is just a cut, colour or something really out of the box and crazy. They use high end quality products and adjust the service individually to you. I cannot say enough about this coiffeur. Try it and you wont be disappointed.

  • Review 29 (2021-04-18 - Rating: 5)

    Ive been a client for almost 20 years. There is a reason I always go back. The quality, the care, the way they make you feel like you belong there with them and their family of clients...from the very first visit. I would never trust anyone but Estuardo and his staff with deciding what works best for my hair. If you have not already been there, please go. They will not disappoint!

  • Review 30 (2022-02-03 - Rating: 5)

    I truly look so forward to the time spent in this Salon and each experience. Estuardo is a true artist of hair and puts his heart into his work with genuine care pride and excellence. So grateful to have found him!!

  • Review 31 (2021-06-25 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing amazing salon! Cannot say enough good things, Christina did an amazing job with my color, haircut, and blow out! It was my first time at the salon and Estuardo and Jimmy were amazing and so welcoming! 100% recommend for any service!

  • Review 32 (2021-06-26 - Rating: 5)

    Like many of us during this pandemic, I decide to play hairstylist and bleached my hair. BIG MISTAKE 🤦🏼‍♀️ Yes, I damaged my hair terribly. I called Joel to rescued me, and not only did he accommodate me the same day, but he completely transform my hair. He kept my blonde hair and gave me a beautiful haircut. Even though I know Joel for years, this was my first time at Estuardo’s Hair Salon, everyone is super friendly, the place is spotless and cozy. I highly recommend this place.Damarys

  • Review 33 (2022-06-06 - Rating: 5)

    Ive been going to Estuardos for the last 15 years. I can’t speak highly enough of this Salon. Estuardoi s the definition of perfection when it comes to haircutting and coloring. I’ve been getting compliments daily as a result of his work!

  • Review 34 (2021-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    Christina was absolutely wonderful! From her washing to cutting and blow drying my hair, she made the experience so enjoyable. She had such a way of making me feel comfortable and relaxed. & to top it all off, she rocked my hair cut, I love it! Can’t wait to go back again, highly recommend.

  • Review 35 (2021-12-07 - Rating: 5)

    Christina at Estuardo’s is top notch when it comes to color and styling. She is extremely professional and passionate about what she is doing and makes sure that all her clients leave happy and looking fabulous. I love this studio they are all super nice and do an amazing job!!

  • Review 36 (2021-01-29 - Rating: 5)

    I have been going to Estuardo since 2012. He does a GREAT job on my hair each and every time. Ally and Jimmy are awesome! This is a great salon and I highly recommend it to anyone.

  • Review 37 (2021-03-04 - Rating: 5)

    Ali was amazing! Scheduling is very easy and they work with my schedule better than any service I’ve had before. Jim is always very personable and helpful with scheduling, and answered all questions I had regarding an appointment and necessary services. This was my second time visiting, and Ali gave me exactly what I requested! She is transparent about cost/prices. The atmosphere is very relaxed and spotless! They also call to follow-up and see if I’m still happy with my results. A+ all around !

  • Review 38 (2018-06-28 - Rating: 5)

    Estuardos treats you as family. I have been going to Estuardo for 17 years and only trust him and his wonderful staff with my hair.The owner is truly one of the most loving, gracious, generous, sincere, funny, lovely, loyal, service-oriented human beings I know. Its not unusual to meet other clients who rely on Estuardo and team to make them feel & look great for the last 15+ years. Although I dont make it a habit and would never, ever abuse his kindness, he has come in on a Monday, when they are normally closed, for very special circumstances. They call the next day to see if you love your hair. They know your family and genuinely care about you as client and friend. A very welcoming salon full of kind, hard working, talented professionals eager to make their clients feel like a million bucks, while being very fair with pricing.We love you to the moon and back, Estuardo, Jimmy, Ali, and Sara! Thank you, thank you!

  • Review 39 (2021-07-16 - Rating: 5)

    Estuardo and his team at the salon are the best in Fort Lauderdale by far! The environment at the salon is always clean and professional and every visit is a pleasure. They go above and beyond to make sure you are more than happy with your results whether it be hair or nails and they always treat you like family. Would never think about going anywhere else!

  • Review 40 (2018-08-03 - Rating: 5)

    I would never trust anyone else with my hair. You are made to feel welcome and part of a warm family as soon as you walk in. Jimmy and Estuardo are not only talented artists but they are genuinely lovely human beings. Love them and feel so grateful to have found them.

  • Review 42 (2022-04-23 - Rating: 5)

    I went to Estuardo, Joel did my hair, Balash and it was the best color, exactly what I had in mind. No regrets! The ambiance in the salon is really nice, very friendly and family oriented, the time flew by so quick!! I recommended it 100% Love it ! Thank you 🙏

  • Review 43 (2010-03-15 - Rating: 5)

    I have never written a review on anything before...ever. I have been going here for over 6 years and I love everything about all of the staff and they are more like friends than anything else. Always warm and fun, you countdown the days from when you leave to when you need to go back for another perfect cut. I even drove 45 minutes minimum to get there every time and it was always worth it once you were greeted by the pleasant and outgoing friends you have made, its more like walking into an old friends house than a salon. I live in Tennessee now and I dont trust anyone but the stylists at Estuardos with my hair and fly back every 2 months, if I can, to get it cut. NO ONE else in 6 years has touched my hair and I dread the day that I have to find someone in my area. I have never known anyone to be dissatisfied with their experience. The staff couldnt be better, and I love them all so much! You pay for quality and you get the best there is! I could rave for pages...

  • Review 45 (2013-07-01 - Rating: 5)

    First time leaving a review for any business, but, my wife and I both have been going to see Tanya for over 4 years now and could not be happier. The entire place is really great with all of the staff treating you like a good friend.If you care about how your hair looks when you get it cut then give Estuardos a shot.

  • Review 46 (2022-04-08 - Rating: 5)

    Christina Bitner has changed the hair game for me. Before coming to her, I used to dread going to get my hair done, because I was never fully satisfied. Now, I am so excited because it comes out perfect every time. I have long thick blonde hair, and she is able to manage my volume and thickness and turn it into something beautiful each time. I am moving to another state soon, and I will be flying back 100% to continue having my hair done with Christina. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.

  • Review 47 (2021-03-13 - Rating: 5)
