Today we’d like to introduce you to Monica Fernandez
Hi Monica, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
After 11 years as a dedicated cosmetologist, I decided to take my passion for hair and exceptional client experiences to the next level by creating LAVA, Miami’s favorite Hedspa. LAVA is more than just a business; it’s my way of helping men and women regain their confidence by addressing those scalp issues that can be both embarrassing and disheartening. As a mother of three, I know all too well how easy it is to lose sight of self-care. That’s why I’m committed to making LAVA a place where clients can not only restore their scalp health but also reconnect with themselves, embracing the confidence that comes from feeling great inside and out.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The journey has been absolutely beautiful. I truly believe that everything in life that helps you grow as a person is something to be cherished, and you’ve got to enjoy the ride. I’m really lucky because I get to do this with my business partner, who also happens to be my husband. We really live a beautiful life together, and this venture has just made it that much brighter.
We’ve been impressed with LAVA Head Spa, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
LAVA Headspa is Miami’s favorite destination for transformative scalp care and relaxation. We specialize in corrective scalp treatments that address issues like dryness, flakiness, and buildup, helping our clients achieve healthier, more vibrant hair from the roots up. What sets us apart is our holistic approach to scalp health, combining cutting-edge treatments with a spa-like experience that leaves you feeling rejuvenated inside and out.
We’re incredibly proud of the personalized care we provide each client. With over 500 satisfied clients and more than 100 five-star reviews, we’ve built a reputation for delivering not just results, but an experience that makes our clients feel truly cared for. Our brand is all about restoring confidence and promoting self-care, which is especially important in today’s fast-paced world.
At LAVA, we believe that everyone deserves to feel their best, and our offerings are designed to make that possible. From our luxurious head massages to our targeted scalp therapies, we’re here to help you reconnect with yourself and leave our spa feeling refreshed, confident, and beautiful.
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
I absolutely love Miami for its culture and vibrant energy—there’s really no other place in America like it. But I have to say, the fast pace can sometimes make people forget to slow down and just be genuine. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle and miss out on really enjoying the moment. Miami’s an amazing city, but you’ve got to be mindful not to get lost in all the commotion.
