I am beyond disappointed with this place. I work seven days a week, so when I book an appointment, it's a big deal for me to fit it into my schedule. This salon clearly does not care about that. First off, no one ever answers the phone. There is no way to get a hold of the owner, and communication is non-existent. My stylist, Lucky, already canceled on me in December for a funeral, which I understood. But then in January, I rescheduled for a Wednesday, and a day later, I saw my appointment was changed in the system without anyone even telling me. When I finally got a hold of her, she said she was "on a movie set." I had specifically picked "Any Staff" when I booked so that I wouldn't have to deal with one person's schedule, so why was I being told I couldn't be seen? If you're busy on a movie set, you shouldn't be taking bookings from the public. When she finally "fitted me in" at 7 PM, the whole thing was half-assed and rushed. I didn't even get to pick my own glaze color; she just did whatever. I told her I was happy to finally get my split ends under control, and she just dismissed me and said, "everyone has split ends." I go to a salon for the experience and to feel seen, but I felt like I was just a nuisance she was trying to hurry up and finish. To make it even worse, my partner's appointment was also canceled last minute because the other stylist didn't have a babysitter. It's just constant excuses here. Then, when it was finally time to go, Lucky didn't even seem to know how to collect the payment. It was so disorganized and awkward. I still gave a 15% tip because I'm a responsible person and I value labor, but honestly, I feel like I was bamboozled. I could have stayed home and done the glaze and the cut myself for way less money and zero headache. I'm done with professional salons if this is how they treat people. I won't be back. read more

Had my hair done by Lucky. The blowout itself was fine, but she was incredibly rude. Pushes my appointment back 2 hours the day of, then proceeded to lay into me about a booking error about the type of blowout I booked for my hair length . I apologized again and again and told her it was a technical error, and she keeps repeating her frustration at me, while she's laying into me, she uses severe heat and pulls at my roots. She also criticized my hair itself. While I understand that she may have been frustrated, this did not warrant such unnecessary behavior, was a very unpleasant experience. read more

Scheduling and attention to detail regarding hair that is not present . I would not recommend this business .

I highly recommend Lucky. She gave me a haircut that totally accentuated my face. I didn't go in asking for it, but she decided that was what I needed and I am so happy that I went with her recommendation! I will definitely go back for the same hair cut. She nice and professional. read more

Luchiana was my stylist! Not only did she do an incredible job on my hair but she was also very hospitable and attentive. She helped me find a shade best suited for my skin tone. I'm also very happy with how she did the trimming. My hair has never had as much volume as it does now. Will definitely be back again! read more

I read reviews and thought I would take a chance as I was looking for a new stylist. What a mistake! She obviously didn't listen to my preferences and I ended up with a cut that was not only lopsided but the exact opposite of what I wanted. I went home in tears and cancelled my plans because it was an awful haircut. read more

Went to the salon for the first time today. My stylist was Lucky. I really liked everything she did to my hair (color retouch, trimming, deep conditioning). THANK YOU! I'll be back. The place also looks really cool!! read more

Came here for help after a bad cut and Luchiana /Lucky talked me through all of my options, she worked with me through pricing, different styles while making me incredibly comfortable the entire time and leaving me feeling so beautiful. I will definitely be back and I completely recommend:) read more

so happy and impressed with the haircut I got. this atmosphere in the salon is so nice and everyone is so kind. ask for Lucky, she is an amazing hair stylist read more

My first appointment was Friday. I saw Shuping. She was friendly and the hair cut was great. I'm going to her for all my hair needs now. read more

Have you ever had your hair done by an energy healer?! 10 out of 10 experience. I am one of those "too busy to take care of themselves moms" who rarely goes to the salon. 6 months ago I booked a last minute appointment for a cut right before my baby was born, so I would look okay in baby's first photos. I ended up getting paired with Erin. She made me feel so relaxed and my hair looked beautiful. I have a wedding to go to this weekend, and I contacted Vida Bella to see if I could get a last minute appointment for a cut and color. This time Michelle was available. As it turned out Michelle is Erin's sister, and also a kids yoga instructor, and Reiki practitioner. Normally I bring a book to read while I get my hair done and mostly avoid small talk, but both times I have gone to Vida Bella I have felt completely comfortable and didn't end up reading my book. The good energy or vibes were very noticeable with Michelle and I walked out feeling emotionally 20 lbs lighter. My hair also looked beautiful. The salon itself is very clean and welcoming. I would highly recommend this place. read more

I was looking for a new salon in Syracuse and Shuping is AMAZING! I'm so happy with the results! read more

Vida Bella Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Just found my go-to salon in Syracuse! In addition to being very cautious during the COVID-19 pandemic, the staff at Vida Bella were friendly and professional. Although I was a first-time customer, the staff made me feel comfortable and you can tell they keep long-term relationships with their client base. I got my hair colored with Arron, who was fantastic! She did everything I asked and didn't push me for any extra services that I didn't want. She answered all of my questions promptly before the appointment, and was friendly while I asked questions in the salon. She also was accurate when she quoted me prior to coming in. Overall I am looking forward to coming back when I need my hair colored again! read more

Shuping has moved to a new shop. New salon name is:Garbo's Salon Spa & Tanning Locate: 732 S Crouse Ave. read more

I got my hair cut here with Arron. I got a v-cut for $45 and am very happy with it. Booking was easy through Yelp messages. They also take appointments through their website. They sent a text confirming my appointment. The salon is very responsive to Yelp messages. The salon's located left of a liquor store and right of Tops grocery store. It is located upstairs and I do not know if there is a way up other than stairs (so I'm unsure if it's wheelchair accessible). I liked the interior feel of salon. It is decorated with lots of vintage chairs, and the stairway space had lots of fun eclectic mirrors. They offer customers coffee, water and pastries. I enjoyed getting my hair washed because Arron really lathered up my head and gave a strong head massage. I would have liked to have some hair product put into my hair after the cut but that wasn't too big of a deal. They also do kid's/men's haircuts, makeup and waxing. read more

It's very difficult to find a beautiful salon with great prices and stylists with talent! I always go to Jen for my eyebrows and hair. Jen is super friendly and always makes you feel comfortable and happy with your experience. She knows what's going to look good on you and I've always looked great walking out of the salon. Check this place out it's a hidden jem! read more

Jen makes my Lashes lush and Aaron makes my Hair look great! Thank you ladies! Love Vie de Bella! read more

Jen has been our stylist for a very long time. My daughter introduced us, and my sons both go to her as well. Her cut and color techniques and products are current style and natural. We wouldn't go anywhere else. She's always friendly and happy, and has great decorating taste as well! read more

Best hair salon around. I've been coming here for years. Jen is the best and always does my hair just like I want and my eyelash extensions. The only warning I have is if you get your eyelashes done by her be prepared for constant compliments! She also did my hair for my wedding, and exceeded my expectations! read more

Staff was unprofessional. Jen did a terrible job on my hair. Place was generally unwelcoming.

i go to vida bella for lash extensions. kaylee does my lashes and she always goes above and beyond my expectations.

I got a haircut and perm with Shuping. She was very nice and I believe great at haircuts but I can't recommend her for perms. A good section of my hair is completely straight and therefore appears longer than the rest of the curled hair. I probably should have examined my hair more closely at the salon since I didn't notice until I was back home! read more

Jen is amazing!!! Love her and get so many complements on my hair. It's so great to have a hairdresser I trust! You won't be disappointed! read more

Vida Bella Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Not only is the place close by to both the market and my apartment, it's great! Got my hair cut by Shuping and I can at least know that I have a reliable place from now on! The pricing for men's haircut is really affordable which helps the ol' college kid wallet. Appointments HAVE to be made, so make sure to set one up via their website if you're considering. The times are really flexible, but they are fist come first serve! read more

Best Chinese style hairdresser "Shupin" is here. Way more better than other shops (especially the one on Marshall street). Highly recommended! read more

My bf always got his hair cut here. Chinese stylist Shuping is very professional especially good at Asian hair style. I totally recommend this place. read more

I got a cut with Shuping. When I went in, I told her that I wanted a shorter cut (I had a long shaggy pixie), and I told her to be creative with my cut. She more or less just gave me a trim. Didn't take much hair off at all. It looked fine, but I did ask for a creative short pixie cut. read more

I highly recommend Chinese stylist shuping!!! She is so nice. Also she did great job. I always came for her. She can understand and do all requirements you want. She is amazing. read more

My hair is naturally black and pretty long in length. I've heard lots of good things about this place and came here around February for the first time to get the bottom 1/3 portion of my hair bleached four times and colored from dark to light blue like a mermaid! :P Then came again a few month later for more because I got so many compliments! Now Im gonna bleach everything and do a metal blue-ish color. The place is really cozy and clean, they have complementary water, coffee, and all kinds of things. The staffs are really nice too. I alway go to the Chinese stylist Shuping, she's really good with Asian hair. They also have this OLAPLEX professional hair care product which prevents my hair from being damaged. Bleaching is really bad for your hair, and imagine doing it four times lol. She mixed No1 into the bleaching and coloring product and No2 after rinsing. She recommended No3 and a few other products for me to use afterwards to help make the color last longer. read more

Chinese Stylist Shuping did great hair colors here! Very experienced and professional!

One of my concerns about going to barbershops and hair salons was that the stylists do not have (enough) experience with working with my Asian male hair, but going to Vie De Bella has surpassed all of my expectations. Shuping is very knowledgeable at working with Asian male hairstyle, and although it was a bit pricier, the service was all worth it. Definitely a recommendation! read more

I have been here twice, both times to see Shuping. She has done a great job, listening to my requests and providing suggestions. I also had to change my appointment timing, and she was very helpful and flexible to get me in her schedule. Great to find a comfortable place to get hair done after moving back to the area! I will definitely be back to see her in the future. read more

This salon has excellent environment: very clean and tiny and also it provides with free candy and coffee, which makes costumers feel at home. the location is easy to find. the most important thing is that it has the best workers. equipped with the Chinese and America hair-lists. they always can find the style to fit. I always go there. 雪城一家最好的理发店之一。 有中国理发师。需要提前预约下。因为很火。朋友推荐去了一次 然后就一直在这里剪发了 微信：发型师--淑萍。 read more

Really nice store! I've been here twice, both experiences are wonderful. Cutting and dying are all great!

Shuping is the best hairstylist in Syracuse, I'm her loyal customer since 2012. Highly recommend. Haha

Though the cut is a bit pricier than what I'm used to for a "men's haircut", my haircut with Shuping went well. She was able to cut my hair to the specifications I asked for and I was happy with the results. I also had a mishap with the reservation and the salon was nice enough to stay open past their normal hours to accommodate. I have a second reservation set with Shuping. read more

a lot of times they have promotional discount on holidays, it is always good to ask. There is a chinese barber and she is very professional and serious of styling hairs. The good part is she listens to your willing even u r not sure about what exactly u r trying to have. She could be one of the best barber in town based on my experience of trying many shops. She is always reachable and work with you to fit in ur schedule. One time i was running late, she waited until i got to the shop at night after the shop is officially closed. And she did my hair! I m very satisfied with the hair work and service so far. read more

Well worth a few dollars more to get exactly the cut you want. Jen is the best there is in the area!

Excellent salon. After relocating to Syracuse I was forced to search for a new stylist. After reading many reviews I chose this place. This was my second appointment with Shuping and she didn't disappoint. She's very friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable as a stylist. She has done a fantastic job on both cuts and highlights and I am constantly getting compliments. Highly recommend! read more
