The Gee family brings its beauty business to Bal Harbour. Grace Timothy gets the first look.
Looking in on the Gee Beauty at Bal Harbour, you’ll see pristine white decor, stylish fittings and rows of beautiful bottles and jars. But don’t be fooled by its cool exterior—it’s certainly not a case of style over substance. The Gee ethos prioritizes results-driven products and treatments above all else. “Our clients’ time is precious and they want to see results,” explains co-founder, Natalie Gee, “Timely treatments on a regular basis is our answer—not something that just feels nice on the skin—it has to work!”
Lead by mother Miriam, the Gee team’s combined experience in the beauty industry is vast. Miriam was a renowned makeup artist in Toronto, who made sure that every model who sat in her chair left with beautifully groomed brows. She went on to edit the beauty pages of Canada’s leading fashion magazines, until her eldest daughter, Natalie urged her to open her own beauty studio in Toronto. Natalie, fresh from a career in film and television, joined Miriam to create the business plan, while her sister Celene brought her skills as a graphic designer to the role of creative director. Finally, the youngest of the Gees, Stephanie, focuses on the beauty menu.
The extensive treatment menu delves beyond the standard salon repartee with specialist skincare and make-up options, not to mention the unique experience base of the Gee team—who happily dole out beauty secrets with each purchase. Particularly noteworthy is the signature Gee Beauty Brow—a bespoke process to achieve the perfect arch for your face. Both Miriam and Natalie are highly respected threading experts who champion the merits of a good brow—combine 15 minutes of rapid shaping with the Gee Beauty Lash Extension treatment for an instant eyelift effect! Or if you’re looking for a complexion-fix try Miriam’s personal favourite: the Ultimate Oxygen Facial is a highly effective treatment that combines a peel, extraction, a double dose of oxygen and hightech Intraceutical products to deeply nourish and brighten the skin. They also cater to men with a select grooming menu, and if you prefer pampering in the privacy of your own home, the Beauty Calls team will come to you to primp and preen.
There’s also a vast selection of carefully chosen brands to shop from, ranging from the more clinical, like Dr. Sebagh and SkinCeuticals to natural collections like Nude and Tata Harper, as well as Tammy Fender, Rodin and Talika. It’s also the only place you’ll find the entire collection of Gee Beauty Cosmetics. This is head-to-toe beauty from those who are truly in the know.
Gee Beauty’s new Bal Harbour store is loaded with must-have products, including the complete line of the company’s own cosmetics.

The runways this season sported a fuller, healthier look—not in the model’s figures, but in theireyebrows. Thin and overly arched brows are taking a back seat this fall to a modern fuller brow. If your brows are looking a tad anorexic and the thought of growing them out conjures images of Andy Rooney, fret not.
We consulted the Gee Beauty Brow Guru, Natalie Gee, on how to gracefully grow out your eyebrows. “The biggest fall trend in beauty is bigger bolder brows and the key to get the look is to not touch the brows,” reveals Gee. “You should aim for anything thicker than what you currently have. The more natural looking the brow, the closer you are to the seasons look.”
It’s no secret that since moving from Minnesota to Florida exactly one year ago I’ve experienced my share of brow challenges. Not knowing where to go, I’ve taken the advice of other people and ended up with insanely thick and overly arched brows, as well as, brows that were a lot shorter and gave me an E.T. like appearance. I was resigned to either waiting until fashion week so that I could have them done by a studio I trusted in New York or magically having the finances to book a trip to MN every eight weeks to visit my usual brow studio there…neither option was very realistic, so I was relieved if not a bit anxious when I heard about Gee Beauty in Bal Harbour Shops…a mere fifteen minutes away from where I reside.
Gee Beauty was founded in Canada and have only recently opened their second location in Bal Harbour in August. As previously mentioned, I was a bit hesitant to try yet another brow studio in Miami due to my not so pleasant experiences, but my anxiety all but dissipated upon a brief visit to the Gee Beauty website. I was instantly assured that my brows would be in expert hands as soon as I saw that they offered a service called Brow 911, which is specifically designed to “rescue your brows,” I could barely contain my excitement the day before my appointment , I just knew I would leave with much improved brows and Gee Beauty did not disappoint at all.
The space is absolutely beautiful, modern, clean, inviting and very chic. Besides being incredibly attractive with gorgeous brows, the staff was really friendly and seemed very knowledgeable about the products that they carry (based on conversations with other customers that I overheard.) My appointment was with Natalie Gee, co-founder of Gee Beauty and brow magician…also incredibly attractive with very expertly applied make up and brows to die for. Natalie explained that she would be threading my brows…which I always prefer over waxing since I always tend to break out after a brow wax and about fifteen minutes later she sat me up in front of the mirror and I swear I just about teared up at how amazing my brows looked…trust me you would have too if your brows had undergone any of the pre-Gee Beauty torture mine experienced. My brows looked incredibly well groomed, they were thick, just the right length and the arches were absolutely perfect, I could not have been happier.
In addition to brow services such as brow tinting, clean up, shaping and complete brow overhaul, Gee Beauty also offers a vast array of beauty services such as makeup application and lessons, facials, tanning, faux lash application and tinting as well as an entire menu dedicated specifically to the fellas…if I were a fella I would definitely go for a service called The Sean Connery. Gee Beauty also carries some pretty amazing and hard to find beauty brands such as SkinCeuticals, Malin + Goetz, Rodin Olio Lusso, St. Tropez Tan and Talika…to name a few.
With the season in Miami getting in full swing and the holidays right around the corner, I can’t help but feeling like I got wind of Gee Beauty just in time. I mean the brows I had before seeing Natalie would have been just fine for Halloween but I would have faced some difficulty explaining them after October 31st and I am ecstatic that now I won’t have to.
