This is my second time having Lilly wash, trim, style, and blowout my hair. The experience from start to finish is amazing. Lilly takes her time to provide guidance on caring for your hair texture. She is personable lending to a personalized experience. I'm happy my colleague recommended me to the salon. Usually I have one appointment and never go back. I'm already booked for 2 future appointments. read more

Lilly has incredible hands. I asked and she delivered. I highly recommend her. I had a balayage done in 2023 but it couldn't be the color I wanted.

I really needed a hair cut and a root touch up in a short amount of time and I was so fortunate to find Vida Artistry. I worked with Lily who provided exceptional customer service, detail, and care to my hair. I also had a chance to speak with the owner, Vanessa, who is clearly passionate about providing top notch services at an affordable price. I'll be back. Thanks so much for making me feel beautiful!! read more

Called for a hair cut same day as I had time, accommodated me great service and cut my hair how I liked. The ambience is great. The people there were really nice. I would return and recommend. read more

Juliana is the best! She's been doing my hair for years and always nails it. Great eye for detail, super friendly, and makes you feel amazing every time. Highly recommend! read more

Sam was amazing! I wasn't unsure on the frame and cut I wanted. Sam just filled on all doubts and made sure she keeps it simple yet amazing! She got rid of all my dead ends, gave me the volume I wanted and the cut looks so fresh! Thanks Sam! Also, a very cute salon! read more

I had an appointment with Samantha the day before a big event: the opening ceremony of my art gallery and wellness center. Samantha was sweet, easy to talk to, and most importantly she had me leave the salon feeling my best. In short, she ate--she understood exactly what I wanted and I left feeling better than I imagined. read more

I went in with an idea of what I thought I wanted, but after discussing it with Vanessa and Sam, we came up with an alternate plan that accomplished my goal but did not harm my hair. They totally understood the assignment, and though I left with something different than I went in for the end result, it was amazing. They gave me the lpw maintenance look I was going for. I love it, and my husband is a fan as well. read more

EDIT: I previously reviewed the salon poorly due to a bad experience I had (copied below) but I am amending my review to reflect the swift action taken by the salon to rectify the situation and their sincere apology and validation of my feelings. This is how you do good business. Thank you Vida Artistry!!! I fully believe this was an unlucky one-off situation due to the stylist and not the salon overall. Original Review: I visited Vida Artistry Salon for a balayage with Fernanda on 4/5 and though I usually don't write reviews, especially critical ones, I feel like I have to share my experience in hopes it will save someone else. Upon arrival, Fernanda remarked at the beauty of my natural hair color, which is a deep strawberry blonde. I shared how much I love my natural color and that it has taken me years to finally take the plunge and lighten it - I was doing so because I'll be serving as maid of honor in my best friend's wedding in 2 weeks. I told her how much I love my natural color and that I was hoping to keep the balayage in my natural color family. I also told her how long I had been growing out my hair and how proud I was at its length because for the past few years I had been suffering with a medical condition that made my hair fall out. I asked to keep my hair as long as possible (we agreed on 1-2" removed), showed her an inspiration photo, and asked how much I would be charged. She quoted me a price of $350-400, depending on how much product she used, with an additional $15 for a pre-bleaching hair treatment she recommended. I agreed and she started foiling me. I was concerned at the speed she was foiling me, as I have gotten balayages many times, years ago, but I kept quiet because I felt she was an expert and the reviews / photos from the salon were beautiful. It was when she took off the foils I knew I had made a mistake. The pieces that framed my face were all white - fully bleached of any color at all and I could see my hair was fried. What brought me to the verge of tears was during and after the hair wash. Fernanda was SO rough with my hair. She vigorously washed the bleach out and when she was ready to add toner she took a brush to my wet (bleach fried) hair and started brushing from the roots out. My hair was matted, knotty, and dead, and every rip of the brush through my hair was excruciating. I could not handle the damage I knew was being done to my hair, so I asked if she could instead brush the knots out from the ends first and work her way up. She totally dismissed me by saying she had to get the knots from the root of my hair, and I suffered through as she continued to rip through my hair with her brush, roots first. I sat there with tears in my eyes waiting for it to be over, lamenting the breakage of the hair I had worked so hard to keep healthy. This happened twice - once before and once after toning. Once back in the chair for the haircut, she chopped away. I told her I was interested in light layers and curtain bangs and when she cut my bangs she dragged the scissors across my hair like you would cut wrapping paper (no snipping). The only thing was, the scissors didn't glide like they would have with wrapping paper, they ripped my hair all the way down. Again: excruciating pain by her hand. It was SO uncomfortable I was about to start crying. When she went to add layers to my hair, she again gathered my hair in the center and brushed my wet hair roots first. When she gathered enough hair to add layers, she chopped a large chunk of hair off which fell onto my chest and I looked at it and freaked out - she had cut off ~4 inches. She laughed and said "are you afraid?". YES, I WAS. I spent YEARS growing my hair out, and I had told her that! My hair is now choppy and the layers are so high that I have set myself back all those years of growth. Before she finished the cut she dried my hair and it was here I finally saw how horrible her balayage technique was, and how extremely off the color was from what I asked for. My entire front side, my curtain bangs and below my hairline, was bleached white without nuance or variation. All my hair was very ashy - nowhere close to my original strawberry blonde, nor the picture I had shown her. She then grabbed my bangs again to make sure they were even and, even though my hair was now dry, she again SLID THE SCISSORS OVER MY HAIR TO CUT IT, ripping it all the way down. IT WAS SO PAINFUL I finally spoke up and said "PLEASE do not do that again". She again dismissed me, pushed back, and said "I have to make sure it is even" and I said firmly "I don't care if it isn't even, DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN. I will live with uneven hair, I will not go through that again." On the way to my appointment I was smiling and SO excited to be treating myself to a hair makeover. My long, beautiful, healthy hair now feels like straw. The worst part is, despite being quoted $350-400, she charged me $440. What a huge disappointment. read more

Amazing hair for a special occasion. Sam rocked it! It was such a hot day out and I needed my hair to look on point for an event in the City. I called the same day and was able to get an appt. I wanted to look polished with a good blowout and also glam. I also wanted a cute side braid. Sam was my stylist. She suggested we leave my hair wavy but smooth due to the humidity. I love the look! Definitely recommend Sam and Vida Artistry!! read more

I called and asked about an all over color appt, they fit me in within the week which was awesome! The parking situation was a little small, but it's not their fault on that part. I was able to get a spot and there is other parking available nearby. Inside is clean, bright, and welcoming. I was offered water, coffee, and snacks multiple times which was very courteous of the staff. I have never gotten my hair colored before and this definitely eased my anxiety. I worked with Lily to get my hair colored. I sent her some inspiration pictures. She was attentive, showed me what she was thinking, showed me colors she was going to mix, and answered any of my questions during the appointment. I went from a darker blonde/brown to a dark auburn and fell in LOVE!!! She matched the picture I was looking for, added depth and life to my hair. She was great to talk to and attentive the entire appt. I will definitely be back and would recommend this place and Lily to everyone!! read more

Thank you Roselle Park Forum for recommending Vida Artistry salon! Best hair experience I've had in a while. I came in disliking my grown out hair color (which was in desperate need of a color correction,) and left loving my hair! Lilly did a great job at listening and accommodating my needs, as well as quickly coming up with a plan to get there. It is obvious she is very skilled and experienced. Lilly completed my look with a beautifully done blow out. I feel refreshed and confident and highly recommend their services. Will be back! Thank you Lilly! Millie the marathoner read more

I called this salon and asked the price for a full head of highlights. I was told $130. The receptionist didn't say "starting at" or "$130 and up" or anything like that. I made an appointment for the next day, I got my hair done and I ended up being charged $268! I felt like I should've been notified on each add on product she was using on my hair, and I wasn't. I left there thinking my hair was a good color but when I got into a different light I was overall darker but went in to be lighter. I had dark roots and very light ends and wanted the highlight to meet my root without becoming platinum blonde. I called back to speak about the price jumping up an extra $140 dollars and they basically told me that I needed 3 bowls of bleach, 3 bowls of some oil for protect my hair, a toner, and a blowout. I have medium thick hair and only armpit length and I've been getting my hair done for 10+ years and have never used 3 bowls of bleach, and i have NEVER spent more then $230 (including tip) on my hair. After freaking out about the price I was told I'd get a call back from the owner/manager and I actually didn't...I had to call them back the next day. The stylist was a very sweet person over all but told me to come back in and she will wash out the toner. When I went back she told me that she didn't think she could ever make me happy with whatever she does to my hair and that she was mad that this happened. I felt like that was unprofessional to tell a client when they are unhappy with the "professional" service they are supposed to be providing. After she took the toner off I was told it was the lightest, "goldest" I would get before turning orange and that she will not re-bleach my hair to help me get lighter. So we told her it was perfect and now I have to go somewhere else and pay AGAIN to get the lightness I originally wanted. Staff was sweet as can be, but they were not very informative on pricing, or what they are doing to your hair and what products you have to pay extra for. In response to your reply: I never ever said "tough shit" to hearing you were in the hospital. Maybe you should re-review the footage from your cameras, that I requested several times from your staff and was denied, and consider recording the phone calls that come through your salon before you respond to a yelp review with false information. I would like to know where in that footage you felt the need to have your staff have the police escort me or my mother. Feel free to post the footage or email it to me as I requested. Also, I understand you have the pricing information on your website, however your receptionist should be competent enough to reiterate what is on the website or, at the very least direct me to the website for further information. I was going to get my hair done, not write a research paper that would require me to look further when she should've given me all the information. Again, would love to see this footage or recording of the phone calls that I requested from your staff to show that I didn't act in the degrading manner that you are saying I did. read more

Upbeat vibe with friendly front desk. Cut & color always top notch with Ashley. She enjoys her work and it shows.

This salon provided an experience that literally left me speechless. The whole salon was a welcoming team and were professional from the beginning with the booking and confirmation, I was seen right away! Mary Ann legit asked a trillion questions which left me in awe on her knowledge, confidence and also skill level. She took my curls from limp, dull to bouncy, vivid and breath taking. She gave me a head of high lights, curly cut and styled me and I can't stop swing my hair back and fourth. Mary Ann surpassed my expectations and she's a true gem here! Deff returning! Thank you so much! read more

I've been here two times so far and both times I left very happy. I can't remember the name of the lady who originally cut my hair to a bob at this salon but she did an excellent job shaping my hair which was quite short at the time and making it look great. Yesterday I got my hair cut again by the owner Vanessa who was extremely personable and did a wonderful job cutting my hair after an unfortunate DIY at home bleach job left me with crispy ends. She gave me recommendations on how to care my hair before my next appointment to even out my hair color. read more

Vida Artistry Salon - They do great bobs! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Roselle Park, New Jersey

This place really saved my hair. I came in with fried box dyed ginger hair. It was awful. Cynthia worked some magic. We had to make it darker than I normally would have done but it was necessary. My hair actually feels healthy and with regular maintenance I'll be able to grow it out. I'm also swearing to never box dye again. Pricing was really fantastic. We had to dye my hair twice and got a hair cut and it was still under $100. Right now they're offering 15% off to any new customers for their first time. They also do a referral program where if someone refers you, you get 10% off. (My name is Amelia S if anyone wants to be referred). :) I'll definitely be back to this salon. read more

I highly recommend this salon it's a clean, friendly environment, and most importantly they actually know what they're doing and they do it well. I got a keratin treatment by Fernanda who is awesome! Some background I have frizzy curly dry hair I call it an Israeli Afro and since I moved to Jersey 5 years ago I haven't been able to find any salon or stylist that actually know how to handle my hair till now. Ever since I left the salon I've been getting compliments on my hair and it feels great. read more

Love these gals! Quality work with the service or treatment requested. Great experience every time. Highly recommend!

I came in for a keratin treatment a couple of weeks ago. I'm so glad I did, because my hair has never looked this beautiful in my entire life. Nicole did such an incredible job with my hair. Despite the process taking 4+ hours, she was very careful and meticulous with her work. She explained every step of the treatment to me and kept up a wonderful conversation. I went from having thick, frizzy hair to smooth strands that remain frizz-free even after I spend the entire day outside. I can't compliment Nicole enough for the magic she worked on my hair. read more

When I went for my first appointment I wasn't sure what to expect. I wanted a new fresh look and Fernanda did a beautiful cut, color and treatment. Fernanda is so pleasant, I asked her for some ideas and everything from cut to color to treatment was perfect. I am so happy with my hair and will be returning soon for more services. Thank you for putting a smile on my face again! read more

Prefer to lose a client I called Vida Artistry to reschedule my appointment because I had a conflict at work that could not get out of. Since I called at 12 not 10 the receptionist told me she has to charge me a cancellation fee because I didn't reschedule within 48 hours of my appointment. My appointment was at 10am on Thursday, I called at noon on Tuesday. I tried calling as soon as I got the appointment reminder text message on Monday but the salon was closed. They do have an answering machine which doesn't state they are closed on Mondays. Additionally neither the appointment reminder text nor the answering machine message indicate you must call to change or cancel your appt. at least 48 hours before to avoid a fee. I told the girl that it was ridiculous to charge a fee because I didn't get a chance to call 2 hours before. She put me on a long hold and returned to the phone to tell me that was their policy and that it was only a percentage of the total of the service and it wasn't that much. I refused to pay the fee and told her they would be losing a client for their ridiculous fee. Especially since I was not canceling but rescheduling. The lack of interest in retaining a fairly new client was offensive. This was my 4th appointment at the salon. Unfortunately my stylist who is superb lost a client. It's a shame the owner of the salon gets affected by the incompetence of the receptionist. read more

Probably one of the best if not the best salon of NJ. Always super helpful staff, ready to take on any hair task your mind can have. They never disappoint and the salon itself is super clean, making the experience a lot better. My hair hasn't looked so healthy throughout going blonde ever like it has since I started going to them years ago! Highly recommended without hesitation! read more

Thank you Vida Hair Salon!!! You were recommended by a friend to get keratin for my crazy hair! Especially in this humid weather. So I came to your salon. I was treated so well, given coffee and cookies and everything was explained to me before I agreed to do it. The price, the procedure, etc. And you gave me a discount! I got my hair cut and the vegan keratin treatment done by Marina! She was terrific!! Such care and dedication! I felt like family! You didn't rush it, and we made friends! You took a before and after picture and a video, which you sent me. Explained what I needed to do and not do for 3 days, and gave me samples of the shampoo, conditioner and serum to use. I am very happy!!! My hair looks great, and most of all, manageable! Thank you all! I'm a customer for life! read more

I've been wanting to buzz the sides of my head for about 6 years but wasn't sure it would suit me so put it off. I finally realized what I needed was a consult. I'd had a shaved head with a high top in my New Wave days all through the 80s and absolutely loved how it looked, but face shapes change over the years and I wasn't sure I would still like how it looks on me. It's a big step for possible regrets since my hair is almost down to my waist. So, I researched stylists who specialized in shave cuts and found Ashley. And, oh boy, was she amazing. We discussed how short the buzz should be (we compromised between me wanting it a little longer and her wanting it a little closer to the head), how far back and high I should go (I need it to be a little less mohawk-ish since I'm in the corporate world and would like it more discreet), how I should deal with my bangs (which my face shape needs but I was worried would look out of place)... She listened to my concerns as we discussed each part and made me excited to get it done. She also suggested I clean up my ends and anyone who grows their hair long hair knows how terrifying it is to let someone new trim the ends. Some hairdressers don't understand the words "just a little bit" and lop off several inches (ouch). But she trimmed "just a little bit" and it looks healthier. The final result: I absolutely love, love, love! my cut. And it's exactly how I hoped I would look with shaved sides. (And she gives an amazing blow out!) read more

Got my hair cut at this place for the first time. There's a 15% off for first time customers and my total ended up being $42 for the cut. I originally wanted a pixie cut but the hair stylist kindly advised me that it may not go well with my hair type and face shape. In the end I got this short layered bob with bangs that's really cute and fun to mess around with. The stylist was really nice and made me feel more at ease with getting my hair cut. She also saved up my hair upon request to have it donated and even measured it out for me. read more

I have been to Vida 4 times and I honestly couldn't picture trusting anyone else with my hair at this point. The first time I embarrassingly went to Cynthia begging for help to get red box dye out of my hair & with her patience and skill, she was able to do so. Aside from the fact that they use state of the art products (including Olaplex!) they really take their time - their clients happiness is definitely their number one priority. I am a DARK brunette who went blonde and MANY hours went into my hair - each session went for hours and they never rushed. VERY detail oriented. Janeiry has done miraculous things with my hair! I really should be bald with what my hair has been through, but she really knows what she's doing and the integrity of my hair has been a main priority with her. There have been several times she has left late because of me which made me feel horrible but she never ever made me feel bad - she wanted me to be satisfied with my hair. The staff is SUPER friendly, professional, and accommodating! The salon is clean and inviting. I have been recommending Vida to all my friends since I've been going there. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Love the ladies of Vida! Thank you for always making me and my hair so happy! read more
