Gabriela Valladares arrived in Miami from Honduras at age 21, driven by a determination to build something lasting for her family. Balancing motherhood with long hours working as a maid and waitress, she attended night classes to master the craft of professional hairstyling.
In 2013, assisting a celebrity hairstylist in Miami served as her defining breakthrough. Over years of hands-on mastery and client trust, she cultivated the health-first philosophy that would become the foundation of GV Studio. What started as one woman’s vision in Coral Gables has grown into a premier destination for luxury hair care.
A career became a studio.
A studio is becoming a legacy.
one vision
Two generations
Today, GV Studio reflects a seamless partnership between Gabriela and her son, Fernando. Together, they combine decades of master coloring and extension expertise with a forward-looking approach to the modern client experience.
More than a family business, their shared leadership carries forward a strict standard of care: delivering transformative hair results in Coral Gables while protecting long-term hair health every step of the way.

Hair Extensions, Styling & Client Experience
EVERY SERVICE
The standard behind
HAIR HEALTH FIRST
Beautiful results should never come at the expense of your hair’s integrity. Every color and extension transformation is paired with restorative care.

Expertise With Intention
We evaluate your hair’s texture, chemical history, and condition before building a plan tailored to you, never one-size-fits-all.
Genuine Connection
Unlike high-volume commercial salons, we believe the best results start with listening and relationships built over time.
Personalized Experience
We didn’t build GV Studio to be big, we built it to be personal. No formulas, no rushed appointments.
