Worst haircut of my life! And not one that you can adjust next time, one that will take a very long time to recover from, possibly years. I am not one to overly share review details, and have seen ripping hair cut reviews and thought- it will grow back, it's just hair. Well that's because I never had such a damaging hair cut. I chose Stephanie because of her reviews. She did none of the things I asked, cut huge chunks of hair and I have gone from loving my long styled hair to wearing it up in a clip 90% of my days because I can't bare to look closely at it. I can't post zero stars, so don't misread the one star as even kind of satisfied. read more

Amelia takes time and care during the service - a simple blowout to a hair transformation - she makes sure you are embodying the Aveda quality of the salon products and the rituals (head massage, hot towel under neck at wash bowl, and more!). Recommend her and all of the stylists at this salon! read more

Lizz is a genius. Holy cow. This is my first time at the salon and first with Lizz. I brought in a picture of what i wanted, and Lizz was a master. I have fine hair but A LOT of it so getting all the foils in was a master class which she conquered. She toned it perfectly, suggested a bonding treatment and then gave me the exact cut i wanted. Shoulder ish length with some choppy layers and swept aside bangs. I just went from a boring suburban housemom (which doesn't fit my personality anyways) to a chic, modern badass which better suits my personality. I've found my new person. read more

I was leaving town to care for family and didn't have a lot of notice, so my appointment was last minute. The receptionist found a spot for me with Veronica, and she was wonderful! My hair was a wreck, with long roots and mismatched colors from previous stylists unable to get the formula right. Veronica was warm, kind and engaged. She truly heard my concerns and wishes. I felt seen, and she did a great job with my color! She applied a barrier to my skin to prevent the color from staining, which I SO appreciate. Many stylists don't take this step, but it's one i appreciate. I want to leave the salon ready for my next event, not feeling like I have to go home to clean color off my face, ears, and neck. Thank you, Vida and Veronica for taking care of me! (I just wish you weren't an hour round-trip away.) read more

Lindsey did not listen to what I asked for. Showed a picture of what I had gotten from a different stylist at the same location and she did not follow it at all. Gave me layers, face framing and cut it way shorter than what I asked. Told her I do not style my hair and put it up in a ponytail most days and it is now super short and I can't put it up at all anymore. I will no longer be a client here. read more

Do not go here if you're blonde! The girl that did my hair took 8 hrs! I realize my hair was long and I honestly should have stopped her when she was putting bleach on my already blonde hair and just wanted my roots done! Liz needs a lot of work with blonde and when I looked around everyone had black or brown hair and some green hair as well and I'd further like to say that if you are a hairstylist you should have your green hair at least look good! I am still so upset about my hair and it was done in October! But it's still sliver where she put color when she didn't need to! AND MY ROOTS ARE COPPER AND NOT BLONDE!!! I also saw another blonde there as well and her hair was totally fried read more

Lizz does the best blowouts- I love the way she cares for and styles my hair! Highly recommend

Everything was great! I was seen quickly and got one of the best haircuts of my life.

Ada Bodem! Talented. Listens and talks through ideas. Masterful with scissors. Always leave happy. read more

Great haircut --so impressed with Erica's expertise and care. Her whole vibe makes me feel relaxed and like I'm in good hands/ she's got me covered. Always walk out better than I came in. Highly recommend! read more

Worst salon experience ever!!!!! I came in with highlights and lowlights, as well as my formula from another Aveda salon. After my appointment at Vida, with a sullen and moody stylist, I ended up with a bleached blond head of over treated hair. When I returned the next day to have the stylist put some lowlights back in so i could go out again in public, the stylist not only didn't apologize for her botched color job and not following the plan that we had discussed, but said she was going to charge me another $150. The manager (owner) at the desk was not going to budge from that charge. After having my hair colored two days in a row, it will take months for my hair to recover. I am no longer a bleached blind but look like I did my color at home...not in a "professional" salon. read more

I had my hair cut by Luis one time, and it was a great cut, then went back to have Luis cut my hair and it was horrible, Luis, obviously didn't have time to cut my hair because after about 10 minutes he asked someone what time it was. Went home and it was an unfinished mess, Norris tried to fix it, and it was half-ass-done. Then went back again(such stupidity on my part) and received the worst haircut by Norris, she even said she cut it so it wouldn't look like it was cut. I don't get my hair cut often because it's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get. Way over-priced for what you get. read more

I see Stephanie regularly and I LOVE my hair every time. She is very punctual and professional. My hair is looking and feeling so healthy.

Can't say enough good things. A friend with amazing hair told me to see Fae at Vida Salon when I was in desperate need of a hair update. As you can see - she does an amazing job. I'm a New York City and Boston transplant, and she is hands down the best I've had. Great stylist and great person too. I usually like subtle and trendy, and I continue to get compliments all the time! I'm finally one of those girls with the good hair :) read more

Vida Salon - Haircut, color, and style by Fae - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I have been getting my hair done by Carrie for over 8 years and have always been very impressed with her work. She is very skilled and consistently makes my hair look amazing. Her highlights, all over color, haircuts and up dos are top notch. She did my hair and most of my bridesmaids for my wedding - and I was an uber picky bride about how I wanted my hair to look...she nailed it! Carrie is such a rockstar that Aveda recognized her talents and hires her to train others throughout the US. You know she has to be the best of the best!! read more

Lovely location and place. In the past I've gotten amazing haircuts here, but my stylist left during the pandemic so I tried someone new. I requested a haircut that did not need to be styled as I am a wash and run out the door type of woman. I told the stylist I loved the type of cut I already had, one where the ends curl under all by themselves and my haircut looks great for months (I get my hair cut to my chin and let it grow out for half a year). Instead of what I requested, I got a very layered cut that curls up and out, and unless I use a curling brush I look like the victim of a do-it-yourself at home covid cut. I spent three weeks trying to figure out a way to make my hair look good (blow dry? put gel in hair and tousle it before letting it dry? see if I got used to it? at least let my now fairly short hair grow 1/4" before letting the stylist cut it even shorter to get rid of the two inches of layering?). Realizing that this may be the worst looking haircut I've had in forty plus years (and unfortunately my husband agrees), I gave up and called the salon to get the cut fixed. Turns out there is a two week deadline to get that done without another charge (wish someone had told me that). If I have to pay to get my hair fixed then I'm switching to a different salon. So heads up - complain fast if you are unhappy with your haircut at this salon (in my case, I'm embarrassed to leave the house - maybe I should have pitched a fit on the phone with the receptionist to let her know exactly how unhappy I am, but that's not the type of person I am. And even if that got me a free redo it would be pretty hard to go back and trust someone with my hair again at this salon if they don't care about making an unhappy customer happy in the first place). read more

I love this salon! Have come to see Fae several times now for both cut and color. She has talked me through some bold color moves, given great haircuts, and I just trust her implicitly to make me look great. And she never disappoints! The salon, overall, has a great vibe. Not at all pretentious and are not overhanded on suggesting products. All in all I'm very happy with the services I've received and will definitely keep coming back to see Fae. read more

Vida Salon - Feeling the purple! Semi permanent color that faded out beautifully over about 8 weeks. - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I have been going to Vida Salon on and off for a few years for a cut or a color. In the fall of 2022, I went there for an all over color with a senior stylist and I believe the cost was around $75 (my hair is pretty short - bob length). Their prices were always pretty reasonable. I went for an all over color in January 2023 and the cost of an all over color was an astonishing $170. This is the MOST I've ever paid in my life - even at the highest end salons out there. After talking with the receptionist I learned they changed their pricing structure to a set amount by hairdresser per hour. The lady who colored my hair was set at $85 an hour and the process took 2 hours. Nobody informed me of this new pricing structure. The receptionist really could have cared less when I told her how shocked I was and no one had informed me. I've called the salon and left a message to have the manager call me and I haven't received a call back from him. My advice is if you are planning on being there for a good amount of time to find another salon. Not to mention 2 hours for this process is a little on the long side. An hour and half should be the most time it should take. Could have saved $42.50 there and it still would have been the most expensive color I've ever paid for at a salon. read more

I have been getting my hair cut by Luis for 9 years now and I've never had a bad cut. My experience visiting Vida Salon has always been luxurious as I'm greeted with a hot tea and a hand/scalp massage before my hair treatment. His services are outstanding and his talent cannot he replicated. He does a great job at ensuring your standards are met and exceeds them every time. He currently being seen by my parents, siblings, and my boyfriend to get hair treatments! He is generally somewhat booked for color treatments but it is well worth the wait. It's fairly easy to get in for a haircut and it's convenient that he is at the highlands and cherry creek location. I would recommend him 100% and I don't trust anyone else to touch my hair! read more

Great Aveda Salon. Amy Weisbeck is a great stylist and very friendly. Sapphire at the front desk is super courteous and very helpful!! Highly recommend!! read more

Jenna gave me a great haircut and style. She is committed to her work and passionate about making her clients feel good about themselves. Diego, the resident dog, will also serve as an emotional support animal if you are in need of some extra love. I also was experiencing some skin issues and she was helpful about recommending a facialist at their Cherry Creek location. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and will be back! Thank you Jenna and Vida! read more

I drive 45 min to an hour to get my haircut here purely because it is always a great experience with consistent great results. I always request to be seen by Fae. She used to work at a salon closer to my home, but since she moved to Vida I have no problem making the trip. Fae is the Jam! She's artistic and incredibly talented at what she does. I always enjoy our conversations and her signature head rub ain't too shabby. I definitely recommend this place. read more

I went in for a very simple high light which came out purple. Management is ridiculously rude. She does not know me or know anything about me yet made comments about me missing a phone call when I'm a full time student. 2020 is a hard year for everyone so save yourself the hassle and go to the many other great salons in denver. I would literally never spend one dime in there. read more

I've used AVEDA salons for 20 years and this was by far the worst. I should've known something was off by an empty salon on a Saturday afternoon. I was greeted by a barking dog (I love dogs, but it's not the greatest welcome when the dog initially presents as unfriendly). The front desk lead was lovely and friendly, but then I waited 15 minutes past my appointment time for my stylist, Amelia, to acknowledge me. When she did she didn't introduce herself, just sat down on a chair and rolled over clearly not interested in customer service or me at all. She was rude, condescending and unhelpful during the consultation--to the point there was no way i was letting her near my hair. She was either completely distracted or incompetent--both cases for not staying in the chair. I politely told her I didnt think this was going to work for either of us and left. The salon charged me anyway. I actually take little issue with that--they have a clear "no show" policy, but I do find it odd no one was interested in why I felt I needed to leave. Terrible experience all around. read more

I've been going here for at least a year and it's the most consistent haircut I've gotten anywhere. Fae always remembers how to do my hair and I've never had a complaint about my cut. You definitely get what you pay for here and I would recommend it, and Fae, to anyone who wants a step up from your standard, cheap haircut places. read more

Fae Grange did the best cut I've ever had! I'll be returning to Vida and to get cuts from Fae for sure!

Great team... on going education... I love this salon cares about their Guests. They are constantly training to their craft to the next level Their owners are dedicated to customer service. I would definitely recommend this salon. read more

I moved awhile ago from a different neighborhood and used to be a customer of 'Hair People' just north of Cherry Creek. Being sick of driving down there and wanting to find something closer, I tried a few local places. In my quest to find a new hair dresser, I had a trim at Vida. Although I liked the gal who cut my hair (and I see she no longer works there), I felt uncomfortable here. I'm not sure what it was,... perhaps the the general atmosphere, the other women working there, or both ... but either way, I felt stuck in an uppity & pretentious salon from the time I walked in the door. I didn't feel very welcome by the front desk girl at all and coincidentally my husband felt the same way. I know it's probably more important *who* (person) cuts your hair, but if you are not stuck or picky on a certain individual, and focus on a 'place' -- there are probably better places to choose from. read more

I'm a big Vida fan! I LOVE Amanda. She is only there part time since she teaches at the Aveda Institute. Lately, Jen has been doing my hair since Amanda hasn't been there. Amanda is awesome. She remembers me, my hair, and what I like. She always has great ideas for my mane. Jen is really good too. I think she has a bit less experience but she ALWAYS turns out a great product. The thing is, fellow yelpers, you have to realize that anything with the Aveda name slapped on it is going to be expensive. The only exception is the Institute but then you are having students cut your hair. Not terrible but they are afraid to take good risks and you can't get the same one twice. Aveda products are great BUT to be environmentally friendly and socially conscious, they are SUPER expensive. I use the shampoo and conditioner but use some regular store bought stuff with it, works great! The de-frizz is great, liquid exfoliator is good, tourmaline eye cream is good and lasts forever, and I am going to get root lift spray on Friday because it really works! BUT you will drop a lot. Now ladies, I know you spend a lot anyway so do it in a great place with good stylists. Cut and color for me was about $150. Not terrible. Check it out, cats. And the neighborhood is cool too! read more

First of all, let me say any review of a hair salon depends heavily on who does your hair, not just the salon as a whole. Because it's such an individual thing. I've gone to Carolyn at Vida for 2+ years, and she does a great job on my hair. She wants her clients to get what they want, and tries to accommodate their needs. I've sent a couple of folks to her and they were pleased. The place overall is fine -- the receptionists handle appointment-making well, which to me is the 2nd most important thing for a salon to get right. Yes, it's an Aveda salon and the prices reflect that. As far as their products go, however, they may seem expensive -- but a big bottle of shampoo lasts the 2 of us about a year. Not bad when you look at it that way. read more

I picked this place based on Yelp reviews. I asked who was better at blonde and went for the "pricier more experienced hair stylist" I wanted partial highlights and a cut. My highlights were awful and orange. I called back and they were able to fit me in the next day. 2 hours later of toning and retoning my hair is still orange. I look at pictures and cringe looking at my orange hair but I didn't want to process it AGAIN or spend another 2 hours in the chair. I am only giving 2 stars because I liked the cut. never again. Worst 200$ of my life. NEVER AGAIN read more

The hardest part of moving to a new city is finding a new stylist! I like going with Aveda because generally, it tends to be worth the money because you know no matter what, you're going to get a good cut, and I love that the products are better for the environment. I had my cut with Michelle who was fantastic. She's a fellow Pennsylvanian and we discovered a mutual love/longing for Sheetz. She was personable, talked just enough, but most importantly, gave me a great cut. She listened to what I wanted, discussed my options, and did check-ups through out the whole process. The price, especially for Aveda, could not be beat at $35. read more

Time to sing my praises of Vida! My positive experience in this salon grows exponentially each time I visit. To start, I am a beauty professional. All of my career experience has been in cosmetic and salon management. So, in typing this review, it's coming from a consumer's opinion that's also quite influenced by my time in the industry, as well. Heather is a brilliant stylist and has recommended products to me that have just about changed my life. I walked into Vida for the first time with a frizzy, tangly, damaged nest of hair on my head (home bleaching and toning, despite my personal knowledge against doing so, had done a number on my hair)... Not cute. However, with a nice, healthy trim from Heather and the few products she advised I take home, my hair has COMPLETELY turned around! Today I saw Danielle for a trim, and goodness, I could not have a higher opinion of a stylist if I wanted to. Both my experience with her and Heather have 100% transformed me into a true Vida junkie. Once again, my expectations were exceeded and I left with a few more products (at my request) that I cannot wait to try out! The atmosphere is lovely, the staff are friendly in a very sincere way, the services are fantastic and they take all of my concerns/ questions to heart and have always given me well thought out answers and recommendations. No salon elitist attitudes here! Just simple, helpful, lovely service. Also, did I mention that my hair is GORGEOUS?! read more

First off, I started coming to this salon because my Stylist moved there - so this wasn't a blind walk in. The first time I went in, the front desk people were extremely rude. I was rushed in to some bench in the back and left there with some snotty sounding niceties. My stylist came back and grabbed me and the cut/color were great (as they always were) but there was absolutely no one else in, and a weird assistant standing in the corner just watching...I dunno, it was a weird environment to be in and nothing like the warm and inviting feeling of my other salon (I still go there for my esthetician). The second time I went in, the front desk was nicer (I guess they've got the hint from reviews here), but somehow I ended up getting charged $270 for temp color, a trim (I'm growing my hair out, so the cut was maybe 5 min of cutting off some dead ends) and a blowout. Ridiculous pricing, and no matter how much I love my stylist it's doubtful I'll return here. read more

I came here a couple times and saw Luis. He's really great at cut and color, and I thought I'd always go back to him. If this rating was based on his skills it would be higher, however it's lower for customer service. I liked him so much so that I insisted my mother go see him and ditch her old stylist. She went and wasn't totally satisfied with the color (there wasn't a huge difference from before and after) so she set another appointment for a touch up. At first he wouldn't even come out to talk to her and tried to pass her off to his assistant. When my mother politely requested Luis, he again refused and had his assistant handle it. My mom said she'd wait for him. Finally he came out in a huff, angry and belligerent. He yelled and asked if she just wanted her money back. She said no she just simply wanted a touch up. He quickly did the touch up and stormed out. Not only is he totally disrespected and distasteful, but he has attitude if the cut or color needs adjustment afterwards (I needed a touch up the first color I got from him and the assistant on the phone tried to charge me the full amount for balayage). Because he was so rude to my mother and isn't willing to fix hair afterwards I can no longer recommend him or his salon. read more

I've gotten my hair cut by Emma several times, and the various styles she has given me are all amazing (I straighten, blow-dry, curl, wave, and air dry (curly hair) my hair, she styles it so I can do all of these and still look great), hands down best hair dresser I've had, Emma gets a 5 for haircuts, 3 for hair clipping manner (like bedside manner). My lesser rating is due to the customer service here. The first desk is hit or miss with being stand-offish or friendly (unfortunately I get more of the bubblegum snapping, nail filing type) but I brush it off for the actual hair cut. A friend I recommended to Emma was told by the receptionist "You probably shouldn't get your haircut, your face just barely looks fat with the length of hair you have now". (uhhh, rude!) Often times I feel like I'm in a sorority house slumber party the way the staff interacts with each other, but keep reminding myself, 1 hour of this means awesome haircut, stay strong. Bottom line, awesome hairdresser, but not the place I go for a "spa day" read more

I was extremely nervous trying a new stylist and randomly chose Fae to do my hair. Fae was AMAZING. I don't have the easiest hair type, and Fae worked her magic and was so genuine to talk to. She made me feel comfortable and listened to what I wanted to do with my hair. If anyone is looking to go light (currently have a balayage) she is your girl!!!!! I can't wait for my next appt. with her because she just overall has a great vibe to her (and magic hands for hair). read more

I've been going to Vida on and off since it opened because it's really conveniently located for me and they have great extended hours compared to most places. Over the years, I'd get a cut here and there that was really good and others were just so-so. I spent twice as much at another salon up the street where my hair was poorly lightened and then cut to show off the horrible brassy color. So I gave Vida another try and am SOOOO happy I did.... For years I have been looking for a stylist who can just get me that very sleek straight bob with bangs -- kind of 1920s flapper girl style. I have never been able to find anyone who can do it and make it look sassy. I always end up looking like a mid-30s mom (okay, so I am a mid-30s mom, but I don't want to look like one). Enter Vinni Abeyta. Finally, a stylist who actually has the skill and training to do a precision cut. I finally figured out that none of hte other stylists can do this because they're not trained to or they aren't willing to spend the extra time it takes to get this cut to look just right. Vinni nails it every time. He's also been very good at listening to my feedback and making little tweaks here and there so that the cut is exactly what I want (yes, Betty Paige bangs but straight - thank you!). I get so many compliments about my cut everywhere I go. I will never see anyone else. Definitely give him a try if you want someone who can do a really nice cut without making you look boring and like everyone else. read more

Sorry that she didn't work out, Hiker Chick a! I've been going pretty regularly now and I love Carolynn's work. I'm really picky about my hair (a combination shag and flip) and I'm very vocal about how I want it cut. I've really been able to communicate well with her and I've been very happy every time she's cut my hair. And since it's an Aveda salon, you also get those good scalp massages. read more

I have been going here for a cut and style for years. I am always happy w the service. Today I saw Bianca. She was super friendly and accommodating. She did a wonderful job and I will request her next time. The gal running the cash register didn't smile...ever. But I came for the haircut, not for the gal at the cash register....so Vida gets 5 stars. read more
