    My hair was the bomb! However, there was a minor problem but their response still makes this salon 100% perfect and shows the importance of a trial run. I made my appointment with the "hair master". She was said to know how to do everything, which was great because the style I chose was complicated. But when I showed the style to her during the trial run she looked shocked. The style was a braid and it was the only thing she didn't know how to do. I am so thankful that she had the guts to admit to me that she couldn't do it and her and the manager were determined to find another stylist that could make my dream hair a reality. They found the braid specialist, who just happened to be available to do my hair the day of the wedding. So it worked out perfectly. And my hair was amazing!!!

    Rachel Parish at the Veda Salon on North Academy is absolutely wonderful! I am sure she was nervous at first, because we were not able to do a trial a run since I was not in town until the day before the wedding. She did such a fantastic job! I brought her a few pictures of what I liked and within an hour and a half, I had exactly the hairstyle I wanted!

    Susan did my make up, and again, I was so happy with the results. It was so nice and natural looking, which is just what I wanted!

    A big thanks to Veda salon for accommodating our bridal party for up dos on the day of our special wedding! We really appreciate the flexibility as there were some unexpected delays on the day of due to flights and unexpected arrival times...... The talented stylists helped every lady feel beautiful in creating a personalized touch to their hair style. I especially want to thank my hair stylist (LeAnn) for doing an amazing cut/color just before the wedding as she's incredibly talented and well worth ongoing returns... :)

    Their products are amazing. I looked amazing. It was a bit pricey but, worth it for how I looked. If you have the money for it then use them.

    My experience with Veda Salon was decent until the day of the wedding. Sarah was responsive in getting our 7 appointments set up with hair and makeup and my run through appointments went well. We had received price quotes for all of the services we were planning to use on the day of to set our budget. Unfortunately, AFTER the stylists completed everyone's hair, we were told that the stylists set the price and they increased SIGNIFICANTLY. They charged my matron of honor an extra $10 just to wash her hair and then increased the charge for her "non up do" as well. The same went for everyone. Even after trying to deal reasonably with the manager, the salon was unwilling to adjust the pricing even though it was completely different than what they quoted us - ON PAPER. We were stuck and I was embarassed for forcing the girls into paying more than they wanted. I had requested more than on makeup artist on more than one occasion and they assured me that one was fine. Sure enough, on the day of, the makeup was very rushed on each of the girls and I was running late because of it. She did an "ok" job on the makeup for everyone else and mine was done nicely. I would not recommend this salon simply because you will have no idea what you might have to deal with on your big day and no one wants surprises on their wedding day.

    Very BAD & Awful

    If I could rate a 0/5 stars, I would. My wife and I work so hard and don’t have a lot of money at all... we are going on vacation in 3 days that we saved all year for and I wanted to surprise my wife with a cut and color before we go because she wanted a change.
    We got set up with Kristi and she was very friendly, but when it was all said and done... my wife expressed concern about the color of her hair and the lack of definition in the layers. My wife let Kristi know that her hair is pink which isn’t at all what she was going for and that the layers aren’t noticeable. Kristi proceeded to let her know that it’s just the lighting... we gave it the benefit of doubt and hoped the color would set after a couple days. Well now, 4 days later my wife looks like she let my 4 year old daughter get a hold of her head with a highlighter and still - no layers.
    We called to further express our concern and spoke to Star... she seemed helpful, she scheduled an appointment for my wife to get her hair fixed, she assured us there would be no extra cost. We scheduled the appointment and thought things are good to go, again.... well we were wrong. 15 minutes later we get a call from Star, I don’t answer phone numbers I don’t know so I let it go to voicemail. I check the voicemail and to our surprise it was Star. She was calling to let us know that her manager went over the paperwork and sees that my wife signed off on the colors that were used.... which is accurate - but she did so under the impression that Kristi, as a professional hair stylist, would know what she was doing. Little did we know, signing the color approval form per the stylists recommendation of color came to bite us in the ass. The manager advised Star to let us know that the best they can do if comp the cheap ass cut but we will need to pay for the corrective color which is STARTING at around $89.00 after already paying $277.
    We tried to see what other options are available, Star put us on hold and spoke to the manager and the manager out right refused to do anything further. I have never been so upset and regretful of going to a place that is supposed to make you look and feel better about yourself.
    Granted it’s a large company and loosing my wife and I as customers isn’t going to hurt their pocketbook at all, I highly advise all of you potential customers to shop elsewhere and be cautious about signing anything. These people know what they are doing by asking you to sign the paper before starting. It’s all about money and not the quality of work done.
    Great, friendly staff at first but I can’t believe they are unwilling to help. The first pic is what I was going for... the other 3 are what I got.
