So as everyone has pointed out this is a great place with really nice people. Beyond that, they LISTEN and are KNOWLEDGEABLE. I waited a bit to write this review bc I feel like you can't really know if a cut is great until you live in it and style it yourself a bit. I LOVE my cut. I went in with pics and photos of what I wanted for cut and color. Lorena talked to me and said what would and wouldn't work. She asked me about my life and made suggestions that would work for my life and my hair. I could not be happier. I'm traveling for five weeks now and my hair is easy to manage and looks great no matter what I do. She also didn't push a ton of product which is nice. When it came to the actual cut/colorI will add that Lorena is fast! I can't stand sitting in a chair for hours and the entire consultation, cut, color, and blow dry we're 2.5 hrs. I'm so used to 3-4 hrs that it is a relief not to spend a day with a sitter just for a haircut! I will definitely be back! read more

Every time I've come here I've had a great cut. It's clean, modern and the girls are awesome. Street parking is easy. I came in recently for a cut and I hadn't been notified my stylist quit. The manager later called me and left the nicest voicemail - she apologized many times and offered me a free cut. I super appreciate the offer and the professionalism of the follow up. read more

Via Dolce Salon - Before & After. Cut by Michelle Lopez. - Hair Salons Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

I've been searching for a local Los Angeles salon that I can trust. Like most people, I'm pretty wary about a new stylist. Via Dolce Salon does incredible work whether its a cut or coloring. They are all young and know hair trends and have the skill and thoughtfulness that they execute them incredibly. I can feel confident that they will get exactly what I want and even better than I expected. They also make great suggestions on how to keep your hair looking its best which I really appreciate. It can be pricey, but you're paying for the quality- absolutely! read more

I made a 4pm appointment. Lorena texted me the day of asking if we could push to 5:30p. I rearranged my schedule to accommodate this. I arrived at the salon. Door was locked. I called and texted, no answer. After waiting 20 minutes, I left. Extremely disappointing and unprofessional. read more

Lorena at Via Dolce is the only person I trust my hair with. I'm the most inconsistent person to get my hair done considering I have blonde highlights, I probably get my hair done twice a year max but still have very high standards for the experience. I always used to find it stressful going to other salons and having to explain what I want and it not coming out as expected given how much coloring costs. Instead Lorena always provides her expert opinion and knows immediately what I'm looking for. Example of this would be me asking for regular highlights and her suggesting balayage since I don't come in so often, and that balayage lasted me for almost 8 months and still looked natural. She's also just a lovely person and has worked so hard to build this salon. I recommend her and the salon to all my friends. read more

The reviews for this salon are not accurate based on my experience. The haircut was fine, but overpriced. I got a "dusting" trim and it was $175 with tip. The experience itself was subpar. Both stylists with 10 AM appointments came in late after their clients were already there and waiting. The hot water didn't work during the wash. When blow drying my hair after the trim the stylist didn't ask how I parted my hair and I had to call out it out. Overall, I would not recommend this salon. Try somewhere else in the area. read more

AMAZING. I got my hair cut here by Aric a few weeks back, and it was such a great experience! I wanted a big change, so he cut about 11 inches off and it came out PERFECT! I still receive so many compliments on it--even by complete strangers telling me how my hairstyle suits my facial features. On top of just how well it turned out, everyone there was incredibly sweet to me and were so genuine. Often I will get my hair cut and I feel awkward having to small talk or be content with a hairstyle I wasn't all that wild about, but not this time. I could tell how careful and thoughtful Aric was when styling my hair, I knew I was in great hands. He also gave me the best scalp massage I'd ever have, no joke. And they even gave me a complimentary glass of white wine!!! Definitely recommend this place, thank you so much again! read more

This salon is AMAZING!! I havent visited many other salons in LA but needless to say I don't think I will be going to any other Salons except for Via Dolce. The first visit I had at Via Dolce was an updo for my company's yearly Christmas party at the magic castle. I had an appointment at another salon at 5:30 and missed it because I had to work until 6:30 that night. I called Via Dolce and they managed to fit me in for an appointment at 7PM (even though I realized after the fact they usually closed at 7PM, another major selling point, they REALLY care about their customers and making your needs work). I had an appointment with Jill who was SUPER friendly and kind. I of course in typical rushed fashion had a photo of the type of hairstyle I wanted stored on my phone but my phone died :( so I did my best to explain it to her. Jill was FANTASTIC she was super sweet and made sure that my hair was exactly what I wanted. It came out even more amazing than I had ever hope or imagined, and a few points in the hair process she would ask my opinion about how high my hair was, or how it felt on my head if it should be tighter or looser, it was a really wonderful experience :) For my most recent haircut and color I had Kristen, I was scheduled to have my appointment will Jill but unfortunately due to weather issues my flight was cancelled out of JFK and I had to reschedule. After arriving for my appointment I knew Kristen was the hairstylist for me :) I told her what I wanted---what I wanted to do was a BIG change for me, I went from having rather dirty/blonde hair in the middle of my back to a very short cut that went to my shoulders. The one thing I was concerned about was my face is shaped rather round shaped and I was worried a shorter cut would make me look even rounder, Kristen told me what cut she think would fit best based on the shape of my face, and also adjusted my part so it would be more flattering. First, she cut my hair very "roughly" before we colored it (and I put roughly in quotations because it looked REALLY good already!) and I could already see the HUGE improvement her advice on what length to cut it, and my part made on the shape of my face. Our entire appointment we talked about boys, haircuts and other awesome topics, I felt like Kristen was my big sister and I had complete faith in her. The cut was AMAZING and the color was EXACTLY what I wanted---frankly it was better than what I imagined, I'm so beyond happy. I've had the same hairdresser since I was 3 and I was devastated to have to look for a new one when she told me she was moving to Texas, I am so overjoyed to have found Via Dolce and have had the opportunity to get my hair done with Kristen and Jill. I will be reccomending this salon to EVERYONE I know :) read more

I came to this salon back in June of 2012 and had a bad experience. The stylist ignored my request and cut off way more than I had asked for. I left upset and disappointed, but didn't yelp or let the salon owner know because I thought I had no choice but to let the hair grow back. I didn't go back until yesterday. I needed a cut and am really short on time this week, and this salon is very close to our house so I decided to give it another try. Natalie was my stylist, and it turns out the stylist I didn't care for had not lasted long. I'm really glad I went back. Natalie was very personable and offered suggestions in a low-key way. She did exactly what I asked for, and my hair looks great. It's so nice to know there's a salon close by where I can get a great cut! read more

5 STARS!!! Lorena is an amazing hairstylist and person. She has an unbelievable eye for what is in and knows exactly how to turn your imaginations into reality and your visions into real world magic. I dont trust just anybody with my hair but have become 100% comfortable with my trust in her. The whole team at Via Dolce Salon is wonderful, exhibiting a great energy you feel from the minute you enter their salon. With a comfortable, warm atmosphere, if you are looking for a hairstylist or any other services Via Dolce offers, look no further. read more

Fist of all let me say how much I love my new hair, it's very rare to connect with your stylist on mental levels. I had a particular idea of what exactly I wanted done with my hair and talked with Selena and she completely nailed it. I honestly think that's very rare to find in a hair stylist. She was very attentive and had such a great attitude the entire time she was doing my hair which definitely was over 4 hours. I would highly recommend her to anyone walking in the salon to upgrade their look. She's very insightful and listens to exactly what you want done. read more

Let me tell you how blessed I am to have found a stylist that knows exactly what I want when I talk to her. I am so indecisive and all over the place, one day I want to be blonde, one day I want an ombre... Christina is by far the best hair stylist I have ever been to! She is so talented beyond belief and I walk out every time with the biggest smile on my face. I asked for a way to take my natural dishwater blonde and let it grow out, but still keep some settle blonde highlights. I can say I have never been happier with my hair in my life. It is worth every penny going to a hair stylist that knows exactly what you want as a client. Christina is absolutely fabulous and her color skills are beyond amazing. So happy to have found her and can't wait to return!  Via Dolce is hip, fun, trendy, and clean. I have never had a problem finding parking and the Lattitude is always willing to work with me to help me find a spot within their retail parking lot. read more

Via Dolce Salon - Christina took my natural color and added some sun kissed blonde highlights! She is amazing! - Hair Salons Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

I was able to book an early appt for a cut just the day before. The receptionist, Kelly, was easy to book with over the phone and very sweet and welcoming when I arrived. I was the only one in the salon, and was promptly greeted by my stylist - Kecia Heinz. The salon itself is super bright and open, with some beautiful art as well! I explained to Kecia that I just had my hair cut a couple weeks before but it just wasn't laying right. She acknowledged that it fell flat and needed more movement and some face framing layers. She was totally lovely and easy to chat with, and has great taste in music... She also got me out of there in about an hour which I appreciated since I had to head to another appt in BH. I'm suuupppeeerrr pleased with my cut!! I can just blast it with a diffuser and my waves pop. It has more volume and shape, my bangs lay well (although she may have convinced me to grow them out), and I just don't really have to fuss with it so much to get it to DO something. She really listened to me and gave me a low-maintenance but very chic shoulder length cut. They also have a great Yelp discount for weekday appts, especially Wednesday, which is when I happened to be there. Of course, you have to mention the Yelp deal - but be sure to tip your stylist based on the FULL amount of the service!!! :) read more

I came for a cut and layers, and left feeling like a million bucks. Maybe 2 million. Lorena and her staff are all friendly, professional and fun. Lorena is a hair guru as I left a lot of it up to her - it looks incredible. Thank you! read more

Brooke "knocked it out of the park" again with my hair. She worked her magic with my highlights. It looks so natural. And the cut is beautiful. Thank you Brooke for making me feel good about myself. read more

I have been searching for a good stylist for a long time. And then I found Star! SHE IS AMAZING! Star has been doing my hair for almost a year now and I'm so glad I found her. After going to stylist after stylist and being constantly disappointed, I was referred to Star by a friend of mine. She honestly knew what I wanted more than I did. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she really listens to you and puts thought into her craft. She's passionate about what she does and cares about her clients. I highly recommend Star to anyone who is seeking a true professional and true artist. She's fabulous. read more

I recently have started seeing Lorena for my color and all I can say is WOW WOW WOW!!!! She is starting the creative process of taking me from dark with grey to an overall lighter, richer color.... super excited for the journey and the end results. Everyone who works here is friendly and engaging and you truly feel as though you have walked into a community of LOVE!!!!! read more

Via Dolce is in an awesome spot super-close to the Venice Pier in Marina del Rey. The salon and all the people working in the salon were super stylish, so I was instantly not worried about getting a great hair cut. I told Christiano I wanted to take a little length off, but otherwise, to do whatever he though looked best. The result was fantastic. My hair felt much lighter, but still looked like I had lots of length with great volume in the front. 5-stars all the way for service and style. The only reason I'm knocking it back to 3 stars was the price tag. $120 plus 20% tip for wash, cut, and dry?? I'm not from LA, so maybe this is usual, but I've definitely never spent $140 on a wash, cut and blowdry before. read more

I was in Marina del Rey for my son's wedding reception. I made an appointment for hair and makeup at this salon and was not disappointed! Christina took great care of me and everyone at the party said I Iooked fabulous! read more

I went to see Lisa at Via Dolce and she was wonderful!! My hair looked wonderful all day, and I got several compliments. The salon is easy to get to, parking is simple, the pricing is reasonable, and everyone was really nice. I recommended the salon to a friend, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a new stylist. read more

I love Via Dolce Salon! Lorena and her team are experts in color, style, short and long hair. See for yourself with my color and cut. Also health conscious so you know you are getting quality products. You will feel taken care of and you will love your hair. read more

[Revised] This is a great example of turning a bad experience into a great one. I went here a few months ago, and it was rough. I finally got around to writing a review, expecting nothing. Sure enough, they reached out about my experience and went above and beyond to make it right. I went in and got an amazing cut & color. Lorena stripped out some nasty box dye I was using to get by, then freshened up my color & added some dimension. She also did a cut, and although this was my first cut with her, Lorena cut just the right amount and gave it a great shape. The staff was also super nice and accommodating and made me feel very comfortable. I left feeling very happy and will definitely go back. Thank you for putting in the extra effort to make my experience fantastic! read more

Awesome stylist Highly recommend coming here Love love love this salon I can't wait to come back read more

I came to Via Dolce a few months ago to correct a previous haircut/ color from another salon. And Lorena not only gave me hope to trust but gave me a beautiful color highlight and we waited to fix cut until this week. (Just to let my hair grow out a bit more)... and my hair now includes a new style with some fringe bangs that I'm in love with. My hair color is perfect and the style is exactly what I wanted. Without Lorena my hair was looking desperate .. now I'm back to happy healthy hair with style :) do your hair a favor and see Lorena. Also she's a pleasure to talk with. All around great vibes of the salon. Very easy going and not pretentious at all. Just a nice vibe of goodness and great skill. read more

I had the pleasure of visiting the newly opened Via Dolce salon last evening. I got my hair cut by Lorena and it was a delightful experience. 1. First, I got a nice long shampoo and deep conditioning. I could have fallen asleep it was so relaxing. 2. I got a trim and shape up and it looked FANTASTIC. All day today, people have been commenting on how great my hair looks! 3. The salon is gorgeous and so is Lorena! I recommend highly! read more

Second time coming to the salon - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Jill! Great color, cut, and extension experience. She's super down to earth and definitely the choice to go with! read more

Via Dolce Salon - Great manicure by Emily! Way pricey, but super convenient and time saving if you're getting your hair done. - Hair Salons Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

What a lovely discovery. I found the salon on yelp and went to Brooke for the great reviews (many here have stellar raves, too). I told Brooke what I wanted, and she did exactly that with an even better addition. I was so happy with my color, cut, conversation-everything-and then I discovered not only was she a superb hairdresser, but also an Olympic athlete! Come on. It doesn't get better than Brooke. If the Salon starts serving wine, I'm going to do my hair every week! PS This salon isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for. read more

I'm not the type to be picky about who does my hair. I've always tried new places, making it a spontaneous experience each time, even abruptly pulling over my car when I saw a cute salon and felt the sudden urge to get beautified. Now that I've found Christiano at Via Dolce, I'm a loyal patron of the salon variety. Not only do I not want anyone else to cut or highlight my hair, I genuinely feel Christiano wouldn't allow it (haha)! He cares, and has taken full responsibility for my locks that have now found someone to love them! :) When I came to him through a friend's sterling recommendation, he was appalled at what the former stylist had done to my hair--as was I, it was one of the many poor selections in my salon spontaneity. Instead of milking the money out of me, he suggested I wait on cutting my hair and grow my layers to avoid further damaging the shape. So, he stuck to highlighting and then, cut my hair a month or so later, when it was ready. It was like he had a plan of attack for my hair. I'm glad someone does. The man knows hair, and I'm glad he's taken the time to get to know mine. 5 stars! read more

Still loving this place and my hair dresser Lorena. She takes time to do my hair right and I always leave there looking 100% amazing. I highly recommend coming here if you are thinking about changing salons or just looking for a new stylist. (see previous review for details about my hair etc..) read more

Very much in love! My hair was in desperate need of a cut and I wanted to try out something new for my color. Lorena did and amazing job and the color she did turned out perfect for my very pale (fall almost winter) skin tone. The salon was overall really friendly and hospitable offering me drinks and being very attentive to anything I needed. I will definitely be going back soon, and have already recommended them to one of my friends! read more

Chris is phenomenal! I am in love with my new hair style! He mixed a great color for me (exactly what i wanted) and cut my hair exactly how i wanted! He also gave me some great tips on how to keep the color looking fresh longer. Couldn't be happier :) Thanks Chris, see you soon! read more

Via Dolce Salon and specifically Brad may make me one of those pretentious people I encounter occasionally who hop on a plane to make an appt. with their hair stylist. While getting some R&R in Marina del Rey last month (I live in the Bay Area) and my hair seriously needing some attention, I came across Via Dolce while driving down Washington Blvd. Stopped the car curbside to check out the great reviews on yelp, made my appt. for that afternoon, and proceeded to hope for the best. Brad was very attentive to my ideas and gave me some useful techniques on how to deal with my curly mane. Plus he gave the best shampoo massage ever! Clean, sleek design to the interior helped contribute to my quest for some R&R. Parking wasn't the best in the garage as I had to have one of the other stylists move my rental, but there is parking curbside. Got compliments on my new 'do when I got home and even from strangers, so all in all Via Dolce lives up to its name and comes highly recommended. read more

Hands down, the best haircut I've ever got in my life. I called to make a same day appointment. They were booked, but Brooke agreed to stay longer to see me at my convenient time and ended up working passed closing time. I was greeted with a smile and respect and my hair looks amazing. She did a great job. I definitely recommend this salon and Brooke. read more

I have been on a hunt for a good local hair stylist... one that gives advice, has passion, knows the current trends, and is good at what they do. I've been to places that just listen to what you **think** you want and you leave a little disappointed. I also hate spending a fortune on getting my hair done. Nonetheless, I took a leap and made an appointment with Lorena (thanks to the previous Yelp reviews). Let's just say... the reviews were right. Lorena is great! She listened to what I wanted and didn't want and suggested some options. She also was able to put to words what I haven't liked about my hair... which was a breath of fresh air. I tried a different coloring technique (I usually just go with a partial highlight) and am really liking it. Time will tell as it grows out though. For my cut, I went "back to basics" as she described and am really happy. The Salon: Very clean and refreshing... zen-ish and bright. I love all the natural light that flows in, the fact that it doesn't smell of chemicals, and the chairs are comfortable. Also, the location is very convenient and easy to find! In addition to hair, they also do makeup and facials. The staff: When I walked in they were finishing up a staff meeting so I think I saw all, if not most, of the staff. Everyone seemed really cool, professional, and down-to-earth. Parking: There are some spots for guests and retail in the parking garage left of the salon on Via Dolce (turn right after you pass the salon on Via Dolce). The bad part is that some of the parking spots are tandem. The other retail place in the building is a yoga studio so you may need to move your car real quick (which is what I had to do). There is also metered parking close by but I'm sure you can find some additional free spots within walking distance. Overall: Impressed! I think I might have found my new hair stylist/salon. Thanks Lorena! :) read more

I love this salon and my stylist Lisa. I have been a blonde for 10+ years and its always been tricky trying to find a colorist who gets it right, when I met Lisa and she did my hair for the first time I knew she was a keeper! The salon itself is very pretty, and the staff are all very nice. Sometimes when I get a full highlight they even keep the salon open for me a bit later to make sure my hair is exactly what I want, they never make me feel rushed, I love that about them they are patient and always warm and friendly. When you walk in for your appointment they will always offer you something to drink whether it be wine, or coconut water and check on you during the duration of your appointment to see if you need anything whether it be a refill or another magazine. Lisa also does amazing haircuts. We just took 7 inches off my hair and created a long bob look and I'm loving it. Every time I go in we talk about what we can do to improve the condition of my hair and any kind of new style I'm wanting she always gives me the best advice and we figure out the best color/cut for me should I want a change. Its been amazing to have a stylist who cares, I now look forward to getting my hair done and never worry. I'm confident that when I walk out the color will be perfect and the cut will be just right. As for the other stylists I've seen their color and cuts and even extensions and they are all very talented. I refer all my friends here and I'm writing this to refer all my fellow "Yelpers" to Lisa and Via Dolce Salon too. read more

I wish there were more stars to give Anya Anderson! She painted the most beautiful golden balayage on my curly, long, dark hair. I really do not like unnatural looking hair on myself. Every time I've had my hair lightened in the past its come out orangish/brassy or very fake looking. I was really hesitant to try going lighter again, however this time I decided to do my research and find someone who could color it really well. I had heard pretty good things about via dolce salon, although its notoriously expensive. I walked in one day to speak with a hair stylist and met Anya. I showed her my pinterest board of hair color ideas and told her about what I wanted and she was immediately confident she could achieve the color I was going for. I had a great salon experience (the salon is really small but cute and they give you champagne!!!!). Anya is adorable and pretty talkative. Her work was really incredible. She painted shiny, goldish highlights on my brown hair that were light enough to be noticeable but dark enough to look natural (sun-dyed beach hair looking). I received tons of compliments on my hair from co-workers and friends. I'll definitely be going back to her for maintenance/future color and would highly recommend her to brunettes looking to go lighter or blonde/blondish. read more
