The Latest New in Our Coconut Grove Community

As a Coconut Grove Hair Salon, we like to keep up with events and activities within the community, and so we are very excited to share with you some great happenings in the Grove, which support very important causes.

One great cause that is very close to our hearts is the Boys & Girls Clubs, and for over 35 years, the Boys & Girls Clubs have been selling Christmas trees and wreaths to help raise money for their programs and this year is no different!

The wreaths and Christmas trees will be sold on Monday, November 24 at Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade's Hank Kline Club (2805 SW 32 Avenue), starting at 9 am and will be open several days a week from then until Christmas until 9 pm every night.

One hundred percent of the proceeds from tree and wreath sales will benefit the clubs, which serves thousands of boys and girls in Miami-Dade County with great programs throughout the year.

Another amazing cause is FEAST Miami (Funding Emerging Art with Sustainable Tactics), which is a meals-based micro-funding project in which there are pop-up dinners at art venues to financially support new and emerging creative projects. FEAST Miami is giving artists and small arts organizations the opportunity to submit a simple proposal for an art project at feastmiami.org by December 10.

Sunday, February 1, at 1 pm will be the third FEAST Miami, held at Fairchild Tropical Garden. FEAST Miami is supported by Knight Foundation's Knight Arts Challenge, in order to bring food and art together and thereby creating community. Projects should aim to be innovative, feasible and impact the community. You can find applications on feastmiami.org.

There is also another great art related happening, the Happy Wall, an interactive public art installation that asks people to take a piece of chalk and answer the question, "What makes YOU happy?" The Happy Wall is headed to Coconut Grove this holiday season, with the very large chalkboard structure being unveiled on November 29 at Cocowalk. The wall is for all to enjoy and everyone is invited to participate during it's 35 day run.

The idea of this wall was inspired by writer and Happiness Advocate, Hannah Sentenac's experience with depression and anxiety and her road to a happier, healthier life.

We hope you partake in these excellent upcoming events, and for a Hair Salon in Coconut Grove, contact Ugo Di Roma at (305)444-4461.

Relax With Our Wide Selection of Massages

While Miami is a tropical paradise that many flock from around the world to visit for rest and relaxation, locals can enjoy its lush beaches and warm climate year-round. However, just because we live in a relaxing oasis does not mean we have the ability to enjoy it. In fact, living in Miami can be quite stressful. Between our hectic work schedules, long commutes stuck in rush hour traffic, busy social calendars, taking care of our families, running errands and so much more, there’s little to no free time for us to rest and relax.

For many who need a moment to take a breather, their method of choice is a trip to spa to enjoy a relaxing massage. There are many benefits to enjoying a massage: not only does a massage allow you to escape the troubles of the day and clear your mind from all of the stresses of the days, but it will also help soothe aches and pains throughout the bodies in addition to other

With massages available in 30, 60 and 90 minute durations, you can find a massage that can fit into your busy schedule. Among our most popular massages is the aromatherapy massage, which involves rubbing the skin with aromatic essential oils in a rhythmic technique to ease sore muscles.

Look Your Best for Thanksgiving with Ugo di Roma

With Halloween behind us, it may be surprising to realize that the next big holiday is almost already around the corner: Thanksgiving! The holiday is an amazing time of year to gather around the dinner table with family and friends to give thanks for all the good things we should be grateful for. It's a time where we enjoy great food and reunite with loved ones. Everyone wants to look their best for Thanksgiving and if you're celebrating Thanksgiving in Miami, you should book an appointment with Ugo Di Roma Hair Salon Coconut Grove if you want to look your best on this special day!

The holidays are an exceptionally stressful time; everyone knows that once Thanksgiving begins, it is just the beginning of the horrifically hectic holiday season with many heading to do holiday shopping the holiday weekend. Preparing for Thanksgiving in itself is difficult as cooking preparations, cleaning up before and after, decorating the home, sending invitations and so much more. At Ugo Di Roma, you can let our expert hairstylists and spa staff pamper you and make sure you look your best.

Because Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks, we often say to others how we're thankful for what they've brought into our lives. But often times, we forget to thank ourselves and spoil ourselves for all that we do. Many of us work long hours, take care for families, or contribute to charity in some way or other ways. Although we often do these things without the intention to be thanked, it is important to treat yourself especially in this time of year. You can treat yourself to an amazing experience that will have you looking amazing in this special time of year.

As the top Coconut Grove Hair Salon, we have years of experiencing providing customers throughout Miami the best hair and spa services the city has to offer.

Coconut Grove is the Sailing Capital of Miami

One of the advantages of living in a coastal city like Miami are the opportunities for boating. While yachts and motorboats are quite popular in this area, the sailing community in Miami is among one of the best in the region. The region's breezes and winds year-round make it ideal for the sailboat community and it is a more environmentally friendly option than other types of boating.

Although Miami in general has an active sailing community, Coconut Grove is without question the sailing capital of the city. Many of those in the sailing community love the area because it's centrally located yet calmer than other areas that one could dock from. It is also home to Dinner Key Marina, a landmark in the community and also happens to be Florida's largest wet slip boat dock. At this facility, there is 582 spaces for transient, long-term and commercial storage making it ideal for almost any boater needing a space.

With so many boats docked in this area, it has become a place where boat enthusiasts and fans come to gather to not only share in their love for boating but also enjoy the area's amenities. Just next to the marina, you can enjoy the neighboring parks on the bay including Kennedy Park and Peacock Park. Both of these areas are exceptional green spaces where you can enjoy walking baths, recreational activities and beautiful flora and fauna.

Because of the marina's central location it is also conveniently located to many top restaurants such as Scotty's Landing, Monty’s and other fine establishments. It is also just a few short minutes from CocoWalk, which has a number of shops, entertainment and dining options. Moreover, it is also close to the Ugo Di Roma Hair Salon Coconut Grove!

If you are in the area to visit the active boating community or wish to have a wind-swept hair look without going on a boat, visit the top Coconut Grove Hair Salon, Ugo di Roma! To learn more about the services we provide or to make an appointment, call (305) 444-4661 or e-mail info@ugodiroma.com. 

Local Spotlight – Vizcaya Museum and Gardens

As the top Coconut Grove Salon, we know that our neighborhood has many great shops, restaurants, parks and tourist destinations that people who live or are visiting the city come to see. One of those attractions is the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, one of the great architectural landmarks in Miami. Formerly the home of a wealthy industrialist, it is now a museum and gardens for the public to enjoy.

Built in 1916 by industrialist Charles Deering, the tycoon enlisted over 1,000 workers and millions of man hours to build this extraordinary home, using some of the finest designers and buildings in the world. Marbles, stones, glass and wood was sourced from the farthest reaches of the globe to adorn this home and it is undoubtedly the finest home to ever be constructed in Miami.  With over 70 rooms throughout the room, they filled to the brim with antiques from Europe, many of which date all the way back to the 15th century.

Among the greatest features of this property are the extraordinary gardens that make up a significant part of the property. At over ten acres, the grounds have been kept meticulously manicured to exacting specifications. The Formal Gardens resemble the landscaping of the finest French palaces with low shrubs that form shapely walkways.  The Fountain Garden includes a centerpiece water fixture that was imported from Italy and still pours water almost 100 years later!

The property was only used by its owner for a short time as the owner died in the mid 1920s. But it has since been taken over by a non-profit and maintained to this day. Much of the home has been kept as it was last left in the 1920s. Because weather and climate have taken a toll on the mansion, the estate has been restored several times to ensure that it looks as it was in the early 20th century.

Ugo di Roma Hair Salon Coconut Grove is conveniently located within a short drive of our salon! Many of our customers visit Vizcaya to take wedding or quinceañera photos, to attend a lavish party or just on a day trip just to enjoy the grounds!
