Strangers stop me and ask who does my hair

by SarahMuray at Citysearch

All those ladies who have been salon searching or staring longingly into the mirror, wishing their hair would suddenly look like a Victoria's Secret model's, look no further! I spent a long time reading reviews and looking at "best of" lists before booking with Veka. I was nervous, because this was my first venture into a true "Arcadia" salon.

I am thrilled. For my entire life I had beautiful blond hair until I died it dark brown a couple years ago. Since then, I have been trying to bring it back to a beautiful blond. I went through a lot of unsatisfactory colourings and ended up with yellowish, very solid, unflattering, blond. Veka looked at my hair and knew exactly what to do. It was wonderful to watch her work, it reminded me of sitting in the park watching the landscape painters. Veka is beautiful and elegant and it comes through in her work.

After my wash and blow dry I looked fabulous and had the kind of hair I'd been looking at in magazines. An extra bonus is that I don't need to go again for another ten weeks, because of the balayage technique and colours Veka used. I am very excited (and relieved) to have found Veka and have already started referring my friends

• Pros: Attentive, professional service with spectacular results

The Best female colorist

by C HARMON at Citysearch

After a bad experience with another colorist my whole experience was changed by a wonderful person Veka. She is understanding, practices patience, attentive.....everything one would hope for. Veka took time to talk to me and understand what my ideas were and what was I looking for.Veka suggested to give my hair color a new dimension but putting only a few highlights very subtle to meld with my base color. For the first time I did not ask for swatches of color and I was pleasantly surprised with my hair color. Veka gave me beautiful warm brown highlights and a beautiful light brown for my base color. Veka also did my moms hair and the color came out beautiful. My mother also loves her. She is so positive that everything turns out wonderful....the crew that works with her is so pleasant . I am so happy that I found Veka.

I would recommend her to friends and family

• Pros: Shampoo massage was very good

Best Bayalage

by DELAILA RICCO at Citysearch

For beautiful color with exceptionally natural and stunning results you can't do better than veka . I've been to many of the "top" salon's in both Los Angeles and New York and can't say I've had better results with anyone. She uses the "balayage" technique as opposed to foils. This allows for less out-growth and less damage to the hair. In French, balayage translates to "brush". Instead of very unnatural stripey highlights, veka paints on color that elicits a very sun-kissed quality---think Giselle Bunchen's honey-hued locks--very natural and subtle but in a knock-out, what's different about you kinda way. She lightens hair gradually from root to tip, creating the ultra natural effect which mimics nature's way of lightening your hair. I like the way she takes face shape, eye color and skin tone into account when figuring out kind of look she wants to create. All said she is brilliant! thank you veka for making my hair look beautiful.
