Karla Caters
When the biggest brands (LVMH, DVF, Swarovski) entertain in Miami, they call Karla Dascal. After perfecting her talents in floral and staging design, the founder of Karla Conceptual Event Experiences expanded with catering from gourmet fare to craft mixology. Her team customizes cocktails and menus based on seasonal ingredients, themes and occasions. Spreads may be as simple as artisanal cheese wheels with bowls of nuts and dried fruit to more complex dishes like grilled eggplant rollatini with feta and pine nut relish, and lump crab meat and avocado tartare on plantain chips heightened through dollops of caviar and crme fraiche. Mains range from rack of lamb to salt-cured tuna loin, and theyre always up on the latest dining trends like pork belly.

Hairy Potter
Why sit in traffic to get your hair done when stylist and colorist Dustin Ki makes house and office calls? When he isnt working on a photo shoot, the Miami native is zipping around town with a car full of shears, flat irons and hair dye such as Alfaparf for blondes and Loreal for redheadsspring is especially intense with prom, graduation and wedding season descending in one massive celebration. Whether in need of something as simple as a blowout or a lengthier process like extensions, time-restricted clients can rest assured their hair is in good hands. Updo styles are another big request, with playful to edgy braids being a major trend for 2013, along with short cuts like bobs and pixies, which he does with equal panache. Makeup and mens hair are no problem either.
