Our Story
Who Are Rudi and Dayana? The Heart and Soul Behind Riudi Salon
Rudis' Journey:
Since I was 15, I knew beauty would be my calling. In my small town in Cuba, my passion for this world arose when I saw the joy and energy that radiated from a beauty salon. It wasn’t money that attracted me, but the satisfaction of seeing genuine smiles after every service. Every head of hair was a challenge, and every happy client was a victory. Over time, I advanced in my career, working in various beauty salons across Cuba, eventually reaching Havana, where I had the opportunity to work in the most prestigious salon in the country. There, I learned the true value of customer service: the small details that make all the difference, like impeccable cleanliness, speaking softly, and the respect that every person who walks through the doors of a luxury salon deserves.
The Impact of Europe:
After working in Cuba, I had the opportunity to spend two years in Europe, working on luxury cruises. During those years, I visited many countries and met beauty professionals from all over the world. It was an eye-opening experience that introduced me to high-quality standards, premium products, and the exceptional customer service offered by the top salons in Europe. That exposure inspired me to create a salon with the same luxury standards I saw in Europe, but adapted to the humble conditions I had in Cuba at the time. I realized that true luxury is not in the physical space but in the dedication and heart put into every detail of the service.
The Beginning in Cuba:
When we returned to Cuba, we opened a small salon with just two chairs, no sign, and no big luxuries. However, we knew we could compete with the larger salons through exceptional service. As I told my wife, Dayana: "We can’t let even a pencil fall to the floor without picking it up ourselves." Our vision was clear from the start: to offer such detailed and personalized service that no other salon could match. Our priority was attention to the smallest details: the water temperature, spotless towels, and always anticipating the client’s needs.
Dayana, My Partner and Companion:
Dayana has been by my side from the very beginning, sharing the same passion for providing unmatched service. Together, we understood that success is not 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 built on personalized service, where each client is treated as an honored guest. From the very beginning, Dayana and I instilled in our team the importance of treating every client with maximum respect, care, and dedication.
The Secret is Passion:
One day, while attending to a client, I asked myself what the real secret behind our success was. The answer was clear: everything we do is driven by passion. That’s where our slogan was born: "The secret is passion." That passion is what has made Riudi Salon more than just a beauty salon; it’s a luxury experience where every client receives service designed to make them feel special.
From Cuba to Miami:
With more than 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 has always defined us.
