David Gonzalez Oribe Colorist

David Gonzalez has worked for Oribe for 14 years as a colorist.  David is off to San Francisco for a continuing education class hosted by the color line Logics.   Oribe salon uses other color lines beside Logics but David found it important to keep on top of current trends in hair color so he is off to San Francisco for an all expense paid trip.  The Miami Beach salon is eager to see and hear how he was inspired by the city on the bay.  

SOBeFiT Magazine

Marta Montenegro-Auvert, the Publisher/Editor In-Cheif for SOBeFiT Magazine came to the salon yesterday for highlights with David Gonzalez and a haircut with me. She left the salon happy and very excited to have found a place in Miami to get her hair done (she had been flying to Los Angeles for her hair appointments). Check out the online magazine at www.sobefitmagazine.com or pick one up at a newstand.

Oribe's Miami Beach salon history

This image is from Oribe's first salon located on Miami Beach.  He opened this salon in 1995 and was located on the corner of 9th and Collins in the heart of South Beach.  The salon was done in a mermaid theme.   When you walked into the salon you walked into an undersea world.  The floor was blue, the front desk as a fish tank and the salon had original works of art by the artist Alvaro.  This is one example of the works that hung in the original Coral House salon.  David Gonzalez, Marlene Fonticiella, and Kevin Apple are original employees from the coral house that still work for Oribe in his salon.  When you come to the salon ask one of us to show you the mermaid artwork.
