Vida Salon

Vida… Vida…Vida…perhaps you are thinking of some other «Baby.»
Both our records will show that I have gone to you every 5 – 6 weeks consistently since June of 2013 for a wet cut only and in-​between for colors and highlights with the other stylists. You have been the only hair salon I have used and the haircut you had to fix was for the one time I booked with one of the other stylists in your salon.
I’m sorry you don’t remember that you, not me, named the price ($ 40) and I am especially sorry that my business and all the money I spent in your salon meant nothing to you.

I just celebrated 19 years of having beautiful hair by Vida! She always asks how I have been liking my color, highlights, and cut, when I first sit in her chair. She is an artist and a very very talented one at that! In the last 19 years I have consistently received the most up to date advice for health and beauty and style of my hair. When I have requested services that involved color and highlights, at times she has asked me to wait, in order to protect the health of my hair! This clearly has meant she is a true professional. Vida is an extremely hard working woman and takes meticulous care of her salon and trains her staff to work with her beautifully. I truly respect her for the patience, drive, focus, consistency, and exceptional excellence she always shows. Her prices are competitive and worth it every time!
I often chat with other ladies is the salon and have enjoyed listening to others express similar sentiments.
I teach at a university and know all too well how challenging it is to render your very best every day, and yet have folks have varied perception of our work. So, I say to Vida: bravo, bravo, and please keep up the great work :-)

Best haircut and blow dry in town! I’ve been going to Vida for over 20 years and she is hands down the best! You will not be disappointed with anyone working at Vida’s.

I call in to make an appt with Vida and she rudely refused to take me in. Saying that I’ve been there before and that she’s not going to do my service. Isn’t my choice who I want to touch my hair??? Even though she said it doesn’t show who was the last person that did my hair!!! What kind of professional refuses a client?!! She said she’s not taking in new client, if that even makes sense! This reason pissed me off, from now on it could be the last salon left in Texas I will never bother to think that this salon exists again!!!

The absolute best! I have gone to Vida for over 15 years! She uses the best products and gives you her honest opinions always! Highly recommend! Great for
Blowouts too but she’s Amazing with color!

Vida has been coloring, highlighting, cutting, and styling my hair for over 11 years. I don’t even have to tell her what to do and always love the way may hair looks when I leave. She is up on the latest trends and is an expert on color, styles, and cuts. I am always referring friends and they always thank me as they love what she does to their hair. All the employees at the salon are professional and take great care of their clients as well.

Wow. I went in for an all-​over color and they talked me into something that was incredible. Best hair color (highlights and lowlights I’ve had) and great job on the style. WOW. I can’t say enough how please I was. My grandmother just passed away and I just needed something but had no idea what I was doing. They saved me from myself. I highly recommend Vida and her team! Alyssa did the color but Vida was very involved in directing things. I was impressed.

Went to Vidas salon to get my hair done for the ballet tnt. I drew the chick that graduated from beauty school 2 weeks ago I was terrified of what she would do.
She would up doing beautiful gorgeous updo perfect for my first-​time at the ballet. She used a curling iron and I didn’t even notice.
When Evelyn goes on maternity leave I will be requesting Jessica!!!

Great service, quality hair wash, friendly, and clean. Easy to get to, ample parking, right next to Starbucks. They use Kerastase hair products, which are my fav. They do take walk-​ins, but I’d recommend scheduling a appt.

The worst place ever! Vida is a bitch! Never go there!!! They book appts and then make you wait! Very rude!

I love Vida’s Salon! I always leave with a beautiful haircut. She knows what looks good on me and she remembers what I prefer. She always asks for what I liked and didn’t like about my last haircut and she adjusts accordingly. I always get tons of compliments on my haircut. I would highly recommend Vida to anyone. Vida is the best!

Stay away! DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!!! let me set up the scene for y’all… It’s Christmas Time. I needed my hair done badly. Iv never been here before. I thought I’d give it a try. I made an appointment with Vida a week in advanced. She text’d me the following a day later
Vida: I have an opening at 315.
Me: Is this for Friday? (the following day)
Vida: Yes
Me: I can do it!
Me: Yay! Thank you!
Vida: ok my be next appt.
Hmmm. Ok. I’m not sure what her last text is suppose to say. I know phones auto-​correct all the time. After all, I said I can do it. I also said yay and thank you. I was excited to get my hair done.
I got to thinking about her last text and that maybe I should call her and confirm my appointment. I called Friday morning and said I wanted to confirm my appointment for that afternoon. She said I didn’t have one because I said I couldn’t do it. She looks back at her texts and apologizes because she realized she read it wrong. Oh well. I’m disappointed but it’s a mistake. Good thing I questioned it before I ventured out of my way to go to her. I wanted to confirm I still had my 0815 appointment for Tuesday (which was in a couple days). She said yes. Perfect. I decided to set up a family photo session that afternoon after I have my hair done. After all it’s Christmas, and it’ll be perfect timing with my hair just being done.
Tuesday came, I got up, I called with no answer and I textd her indicating I was on my way for my 0815 appt, (no response from her… No big deal. She might be on the road) I left early because I know traffic is bad, I also value her time and don’t want to be late. I arrive early. Sign on door says salon won’t open til 0900. Ok. Not a big deal. I know she is probably just getting people in early for the holidays. 0815 comes around, I see a lady walk in. I give it a minute, and walk in behind her. I acknowledge who I am and say I’m there for my 0815 appointment. It was Vida and she says No no no. She looked totally lost and was confused. She says I called and left a message canceling my appointment on their voicemail. I told her, No, that someone else must have called and canceled their own appointment and they canceled the wrong appointment. The funny thing is… Someone probably did call and canceled their appointment. Now she lost me as a client and she will have someone NO SHOW for some other canceled appointment. Her loss!
This entire experience with her was awful! I’m not sure how someone runs a business like that. I was so disappointed more than once! There was no way I wanted her to touch my hair after that. She can’t keep a schedule and can’t read her own texts. 1 screw up I can deal with but 2 screw ups… There is no way! That is totally unacceptable! It’s to bad too. I was hoping for a new hair dresser. I know highlights and cuts are expensive. I was willing to give her my $ 2400 a year plus tips. I also had friends wanting to know how I liked her because they were willing to change stylist too. I told them not to waste there time with Vida. She has no respect for your time and is a total flake. She will blame her faulty scheduling on you. I’m glad it happened before I ever seen her. I’m grateful she hasn’t seen 1 penny from me. However, I’d be glad to give anyone else my 2cents on her! STAY AWAY FROM VIDA SALON ON PRESTON!

I always have compliments on my hair and it’s because Vida does my color, cut, and blow dry! The staff is great and always helpful. I would not think of going to any other salon in Dallas even though it is a bit of a drive for me!

It does not get any better than salon services with Vida Farahani. Not only is Vida an expert with color, cut and blow drying has an «eye» for an updated look to compliment your individual style. You are certain to leave her chair feeling great.
Vida is a kind and commensurate professional, who works diligently to accommodate her clients’ specific needs. Her staff tandems with her to make certain that every client feels special.
In addition to her hair services, a manicurist is available on site as. Other personal care treatments are offered.
A complete selection of premier hair care products is beautifully displayed and may be purchased at your convenience.
The salon is conveniently located at the NE corner of Frankford and Preston with plenty of parking available.

Vida cuts hair like no other stylist I have ever been to and I have been to many, all very expensive. Vida has an uncanny knack for assessing how she should handle your hair to cut it. For instance, she cuts my hair with scissors and a razor and that works the absolute best for my hair.
She is also a fabulous colorist and styles my hair so beautifully that I get tons of compliments. She is wonderful and very involved with junior people to give them advice and teach. Vida is by far, gives the best haircut, color, and style ever.
No one asked me or paid me to say this.

My boyfriend gets his hair colored here and thought I’d give it a shot. Really thought it was a great place with the very sweet and professional front desk person. I go in for my color and TOLD them ahead of time what I wanted… BLOND & NOT BRASSY and even gave them a specific formula they could convert IF they wanted. They INSISTED I was fine and when they rinsed me out, what do you know, I’m BRASSY AS F**K! I told them @ least 5X ahead of time how HARD it was to make my hair BLOND. So my hair is practically RED (this happens when they do it the WRONG WAY) & they roll their eyes & resentfully had a NICE assistant put bleach on me for 15 mins. My hair turned out AWESOME & she knew the problem and FIXED it! In addition, she talked me into a dry haircut which I needed but was going to wait for and did another AWESOME job. I know the owner was talking about me being difficult because she and the client she was working on kept looking at me giving me «looks,» and laughing. I’m not an idiot I know what they were doing…& this is the owner! On top of it, I go to pay the 125 $ for the services that could have been MUCH more pleasant and I tell the front desk «I’m sorry for being difficult, but when you are used to 1 person doing hair for 8 years, somewhere new can be nerve-​racking!» Being so nice! She said NOTHING & was a total PASSIVE-​AGGRESSIVE BITCH to me! Just for wanting my hair the RIGHT FREAKING COLOR! What has this «service industry» come to, seriously… I would like to see this assistant again, but WOW I’ve never felt so uncomfortable in my entire life… The only reason I have 2 stars is they fixed my hair. BUT my normal hair person is half the price and does 2X the job!!!

Best haircut of my life! I have long hair and have always had trouble with what to do with it. I love the length, but it always just hangs there lifeless.
My mom has been going to Vida for over a year now. She has always done a fabulous job on her short hair and highlights.
I tried Vida tonight, and I am definitely converted! Yes, Vida is the owner and you can tell she has a hand in everything – isn’t that what you want – an owner who cares about everything going on?!!
The haircut took a little time, so be patient. It is more than worth the wait when you see the finished product. Vida is very knowledgeable, and I feel she is an expert in hair. You can tell she knows exactly what she is talking about when she tells you what she is going to do to your hair.
My hair now has an awesome style, more body than ever, and my husband loves it! Can’t wait to keep going back to her salon! Highly recommended :)

I had the worst experience at this salon –the owner is a rude nasty person and lacks in any type of customer service-​the whole experience at this salon was a nightmare-​I would highly recommend not trying this salon–
