Our Story
WHO ARE RIUDI AND DAYANA?
Rudi's journey:
Since I was 15, I've been passionate about beauty. I grew up in a small Cuban town and fell in love with the joy and confidence a beauty salon could bring. My career took me all over Cuba, eventually landing in Havana, where I worked in the most prestigious salon in the country. There, I learned the value of excellence, from impeccable cleanliness to personalized attention, which shaped the foundation of the luxury experiences I offer today.
The impact of Europe:
After my time in Cuba, I spent two years working on luxury cruise ships in Europe, where I experienced the highest standards of beauty. Meeting professionals from around the world and using top-quality products opened my eyes to exceptional customer service and attention to detail. Inspired by these experiences, I dreamed of bringing the luxury I saw in Europe to my work, proving that true luxury lies not in the space, but in the passion and care infused into every service.
The beginning in Cuba:
When we returned to Cuba, we opened a small salon with just two chairs, no sign, and no frills. However, we knew we could compete with larger salons through exceptional service. As I told my wife, Dayana, "We can't let even a pencil fall on the floor without picking it up ourselves." Our vision was clear from the beginning: to offer such detailed and personalized service that no other salon could match. Our priority was attention to the smallest details: the water temperature, the impeccable towels, and always anticipating the client's needs.
Dayana, my partner and associate:
Dayana has been by my side since the beginning, sharing the same passion for providing unparalleled service. Together, we understood that success isn't measured by the size or infrastructure of the salon, but by the ability to connect with the client and offer an unforgettable experience. The culture at Riudi Salon is based on personalized service, where each client is treated as an honored guest. From the beginning, Dayana and I instilled in our team the importance of treating each client with the utmost respect, care, and dedication.
From our heart to your hair:
“From our heart to your hair” reflects our belief that truly exceptional service is not created by hands or technique alone, but by a sincere heart that serves with honesty and dedication. At Riudi Salon, we understand that clients are not only seeking a new look, but the trust of being cared for by highly qualified professionals who value them as individuals. That is why every experience is guided by our philosophy of serving from the heart—creating beauty with purpose and lasting confidence.”
From Cuba to Miami:
With over 20 years of experience and after consolidating our success in Cuba, my wife and I decided to bring our passion for beauty to Miami. Here, in the heart of South Florida, Riudi Salon has established itself as one of the most renowned beauty salons, combining the European luxury standards I learned during my time in Europe with the warmth and attention to detail that have always defined us.
