I have followed Veka the for years now. When She finally convinced me to switch over to Balyage several months ago I was unconvinced, I've been foiling highlights for over ten years. She painted my hair in a direction of how i wear it in daily basis and it looks amazing i love it.She lightens hair gradually from root to tip, Not only can you not tell I had any hair coloring process, it is so beautiful. I just can't be in the salon often, and the balyage really helps stretch out visits and doesn't have the razory edge growing... read more

I loved my BKT performed by Veka and her prices are amazing. She explained everything about the process and how to stop damaging my hair. I had tried every product possible for my hair not to freeze up Trust me, if anyone has tried all of the products and techniques to eliminate frizz and a nappy head of hair, it's been myself. It wasn't until I couldn't take it any longer, and finally Veka came to the rescue. My experience there was awesome! The process took 2 hours, and due to the formaldehyde (I really didn't smell anythi... read more

I went to Vekas for my wedding updo and make-up, and Veka is my hero. Every hair stylist I've gone to has commented about about hair's unusual texture--thick, heavy, long, resilient, and glossy/slippery. Nice hair, but very difficult for an updo. In the past, I've gone to many reputable high-end salons in pasadena whenever I needed an updo for a special event. The outcome was always a tightly pulled back bun with many many pins to try and hold the look in place. Ouch, and not particularly interesting. Veka was creative (and ... read more

VEKA is amazing! I just had my cut and color done by Veka and it was my far the best experience i have had since I moved to the city two years ago! I have gone to other high end salons but this surpassed all of them. Veka took the time to correct my poorly done highlights from another salon and gave me the most amazing color in addition to the correction. The cut she gave was amazing too and the perfect way to kick off a Friday night. she decide the full look we were trying to achieve with my hair- she is a genius! this styl... read more

I found out about this salon when researching Brazilian Keratin Treatment to straighten my hair. I read about veka and i called her. She was wonderful! She talked to me extensively over the phone about the treatment and answered all of my questions. I live in valencia and i found that this is one of the only salons offering this treatment near me. My experience there was awesome! The process took 3 hours, and (I really didn't smell anything, but some people are more sensitive than others) we both wore masks. Veka worked meti... read more

If you are looking for a stylist who does extensions, Veka is the most gifted artist. The extensions she uses are the highest quality human hair and she applies them in a way that even my best friend didn't know I had extensions! Veka is also an expert colorist and stylist, so she can do your color to match the extensions perfectly, and then give your beautiful new mane a chic cut. She is a perfectionist. You can't do better even if you searched across the country. We are fortunate to have her right here. I used to see her i... read more

When I first read about Brazilian Keratin Straightening in L.A (Curls, Split! Ringlets, Be Gone!, July 19Th, 2007), I was immediately interested. I did my research, checked out brazilian keratin dot com, found VEKA salon and checked City Search for reviews. I called up, scheduled a consultation, and two days later received the treatment.My hair was definitely damaged and now the shine and smoothness is coming back. This Treatment has left my hair feeling healthy and soft. I am constantly getting compliments on my hair I love... read more
