Dolce Vita Salon and Spa

Liz did my hair yesterday and spent over 4 hours trying to get the red out of my hair to turn me blonde. Let’s just say this girl did not give up! I am HIGHLY impressed! My other hair stylists couldn’t get the red out from a previous place and gave up and told me to come back when the red grows out. My hair is beautiful all thanks to Liz!!! The salon is also gorgeous!

Been going here for two years and have not been disappointed once! Great staff and owner. I have taken my sons, daughter and wife to Cindy and she is beyond the best. She is truly amazing and I’d highly recommend her.

I love Dolce Vita! I have been seeing Cindy for just over a year now for my hair, and she is incredible! I started going to her after I broke my ankle and needed a little help maintaining my crazy long mane, and Cindy (and everyone else at Dolce Vita) took great care of me. We’ve gotten to know each other very well, and I really appreciate how much she care, and how knowledgeable she is. My hair is my pride, but I always trust her to do whatever she wants, because I know it will be amazing. I’ve had her cut and color it a bunch. She likes to do the balayage coloring, and it always looks amazing and I can go 4+ months if I want without a touch up. Absolutely recommend!!!

I love EVERYTHING about this place! The cute building, the decorations, the staff and the products sold (they sell Oribe which I’m obsessed with)! Jessica was my stylist and she was so nice and did an amazing job. Normally I have to trial and error a few places before finding someone I like and this was a winner on the first try! I am so excited to go back!

A good stylist is a happy stylist. I followed Jess here from another business in the area, and this place treats her SO MUCH BETTER than her previous location. This is a great location with fantastic ownership and a real sense of family and teamwork.
Oh, and your hair will obviously be fabulous. Jess is a wizard with a flat iron and a round brush.

I went back to dolce vita for my root touch up and I had my appointment this time with Tasha. First of all I still love the relaxing atmosphere, and the courteous employees.
Tasha was very kind and polite. She was efficient and made my whole experience this time around, a very enjoyable one. Time flew by! She and I had a lovely conversation. The head massage was excellent as well.
She did an excellent job with the whole touch up and I will certainly be returning to dolce vita in a couple of months for my next touch up. Thank you Tasha!

I went to go see Chela Boyd for my brazilian wax. I have been getting waxed for years now and Chela has been the best thus far. I was in and out in about 10minutes. My other brazilian waxes took about 30minutes to an hour to finish. She is very knowledgeable, sweet and polite. She actually remembered the last conversation we had and asked what the update was. If you need any type of waxing, Microdermabrasion, facial or makeup Chela Boyd at Dolce Vita Salon is the girl to see. She’s awesome!

Dolce Vita is a full service salon with a great staff. I have been going to the salon for years. To say I am very picky is an understatement. My visits to the salon are always wonderful. Tammy at the front desk is always friendly and helpful. My hair stylist Elizabeth (Paschall) is amazing. My hair and its many difficulties (cowlicks-​everywhere, no body etc.) had posed problems for many a stylist. Liz has managed to not only figure out my hair but makes it look great and full of body! I highly recommend the salon and esp. Elizabeth. :)

Dolce Vita is the best salon around. I send all my family and friends. Billie Jo and her staff make everyone feel special. Thank you Dolce Vita for always making me a very happy girl.

Really friendly people at this salon and great service. I recommend Jessica S. she has been doing my hair for years and always does a great job. She is always very attentive to what I want and am asking for to ensure I love the results! Thank you Jess!

I am NEVER coming here again. A few months ago, I came here to get a balayage. My hair was dark brown and I wanted to make it a cool light blonde towards the bottom. After 2 trips here and almost $ 400 later, I was left with a chunky caramel color. AND on top of not being happy with my color, when I emailed them to give them an opportunity to fix it, they couldn’t even be bothered to respond to me. I had to go somewhere else to actually get what I wanted.

A bit pricey but definitely worth every penny! As always, Tasha provided an awesome cut and style. She is an incredibly gifted hair stylist that readily shares her wealth of knowledge. If you are having a problem with your hair, she is the one to see! Super kind and friendly staff. I love this place!

I have been going to Billie Jo long before Dolce Vita and I have never been disappointed with the service she has provided. She always knows exactly what I want and what will work for me without me having to say a word. She is always spot on. Since she opened Dolce Vita I have had the opportunity to meet some of the most amazing stylists and have even visited and used multiple spa services. My whole family is now clients of Dolce Vita and there is no better place in the Hampton Roads area for hair, nails, facials, waxing and massages. The building is beautiful, warm and welcoming. It’s like a little hidden gem and the staff is amazing! If you have never been, you need to.

TERRIBLE salon. I want to start out by saying I am a licensed cosmetologist and I’ve had tape in extensions in my hair for almost an entire year now and I’ve had zero issues at all with the extensions.
I just moved to Virginia and was in need of a new stylist to do my move up on my extensions (I go in once every 7 weeks). I decided to go with the owner because I need to make sure that it gets done properly. The actual experience was awful on my first visit. They mostly talked about drinking and their drinking plans after work (to me this is extremely unprofessional, especially with a new client).
Two weeks after the move up almost all of my extensions fell out. So I wasted almost 200 dollars for nothing. I went back to the salon and the owner claimed she had no idea what happened and fixed the problem.
Exactly one week later almost all the extensions fell out once again. I do not have the time or patience to continuously go to a salon to have them fix a mistake so I went somewhere else.
The new salon was able to fix Dolce’s mistake and realized that she had no pattern at all to how she put the extensions in (and why they all fell out). I’m not sure if she’s even certified to do the extensions so your paying for a person to do a service they have no idea how to do. It’s been almost 6 weeks now and I still have so much build up of tape residue because of Dolce’s mistake that I may have to take my extensions out to remove it all.
DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON.

Trisha was awesome and did an amazing job! I felt so relaxed… the glass of wine helped. :-) I have really curly hair and it didn’t cost extra even though my hair sucks up color. A style was included where as most places charge for a style. I usually don’t get my hair straightened because it cost an extra $ 30 or so dollars, but it was included here! Super happy customer here!!!

I have been seeing Cindy Lou for four years now and have never stopped loving what she does to my hair or my time spent with her. Not only is she a skilled stylist with vision and professionalism, but she’s also a confidant and has become a wonderful friend. I brought my mother to her recently, and when she left, she said it was the first time she felt beautiful after leaving a salon. That’s how wonderful Cindy Lou is, she makes people feel as beautiful as everyone else sees them. Also, after the one millionth bad hair cut at a super cut-​chain barber shop and complaining every single time, threatening to shave his head, my husband finally agreed to see her and hasn’t looked back since. :)

Billie Jo and the ladies are amazing!

I followed Tasha to Dolce Vita from the salon where she previously worked — she is brilliant with color techniques, does great precision cuts, and really takes time to listen to what I want. The other staff members I’ve encountered have also been friendly and the atmosphere of the salon is very relaxing. Housed in what I believe was originally an architect’s model home, the whole place just feels like a little hidden jewel tucked into the woods, with beautiful nature views outside the large windows of the main salon. I haven’t yet sampled any of the other services, but plan to schedule a pedi soon — the rooms are just so inviting! All in all, each visit is a lovely getaway experience.

Great hair cut for cheap price. I have long curly hair so getting a good hair cut is important and usually expensive. Gina cut my hair and she did a great job. She wasn’t intimidated and knew exactly what to do. She did a great style that cost me $ 45 where other places have Charged me $ 60+. I have more bad hair cuts than good and this one was Great! She even blew out and curled my hair. She was very nice and professional. It was apparent she loved her job. She offered some great products that she used in my hair and told me straight up what I needed and could live with out. She didn’t pressure me to buy anything.
The front desk was very nice and got me in the same day I called. The facility was very clean and the building is gorgeous! The parking lot is a little forest which I didn’t expect, but worked.
I am very happy with the service I got and will be coming back for my next hair cut.

The people here are so nice! I get my hair done there from time to time and they (Gina) do a great job every time!
I have a lot of hair, so I am always skeptical about people doing it, but Dolce Vita is an awesome place. I got my hair done there for my wedding and Gina came in before they opened just to make sure I stayed within my timeline.
Highly recommended!
