Studio 187 Luxury Salon & Spa was born from a vision—sparked during a spontaneous girls’ trip to Miami—by best friends and beauty lovers, Kate Hill and Candy Later. What began as a harebrained idea quickly transformed into a mission: to redefine what a salon and spa experience could be.

Rooted in holistic beauty, elevated luxury, and intentional artistry, Studio 187 is more than just a space—it’s a lifestyle. A place where every detail, every ritual, and every guest interaction is designed to feel indulgent, personalized, and unforgettable.

Meet the Founders

Kate Hill, a seasoned stylist with over 11 years behind the chair (8 of those with Aveda), brings a wealth of experience, creative intuition, and a relentless commitment to guest care. She’s passionate about precision, personalization, and building confidence from the inside out. From subtle blonding to bold vivids, she strives to bring every guest’s vision to life one brushstroke at a time.

Candy Lanter shares that passion, focusing on creating a work culture and client environment that balances luxury with warmth. With a knack for all things sparkly, and a truly incredible talent for bringing out the most glamorous version of everyone she meets, Candy brings an undeniable energy that gives Studio 187 its heartbeat. Together, they’ve built a brand where both guests and team members are supported, empowered, and celebrated.

What Makes Studio 187 Different

At Studio 187, luxury isn’t optional—it’s a lifestyle.
We believe you shouldn’t have to choose between high-end and heartfelt, between beauty and wellness, or between artistry and approachability.

We proudly partner with Aveda, offering bespoke color, clean, eco-conscious ingredients, and results-driven care that support not only your beauty—but your wellbeing and the planet.

Whether you’re here for a fresh blonde, lived-in extensions, glowing skin, or a moment of self-care in the middle of a busy life—our mission is to provide the best of the best this industry has to offer, in a space that feels elevated, energizing, and entirely yours.

Welcome to Studio 187.

Luxury, reimagined. Artistry, with soul. A space for you to feel seen, styled, and celebrated.
