Vicious Streak Salon - Santa Ana (CA)

5 /5 Akemy G: I’ve been a loyal client at this salon for 4 years, and I can confidently say this is the best salon experience I’ve ever had! From all the vivid color transformations I have done (Red, pink, Orange, Blue, etc) to haircuts and deep-conditioning treatments, every visit leaves my hair looking and feeling incredible. The stylists here are true artists, especially when it comes to vivid colors—my hair always turns out vibrant, long-lasting, and perfectly blended. They also prioritize hair health especially on my journey from vivid colors back to my natural hair color, ensuring that every treatment leaves my hair strong and shiny! Beyond the results, the atmosphere is always welcoming and professional, and Vidalia genuinely cares about her clients. Whether I’m going for a bold new look or just a trim, I always leave feeling refreshed and confident. If you’re looking for a salon that delivers top-tier color, cuts, and treatments, Vicious Streak is the place to go. Highly recommend!

5 /5 Stephanie: Honestly, Vidalia is truly a master at what she does! In short, if you are looking for an honest and knowledgeable color specialist, then set up an appointment with her! She listens to your requests and provides full transparency in the outcome. If she believes there may be some obstacles in getting to your vision, she gives you some alternative options that would maintain the integrity of your hair. Best thing you could do for your colored hair vision is to text her for a free consultation! Ive been getting my hair done by Vidalia since 2019 and I cant see myself going to anyone else. I had super dark brown hair and was dreaming of going into a dark purple. I found her profile on Instagram and instantly knew I could trust her with my hair. Since then, shes taken me from purple to burgundy, then to half pink / half purple, then to purple, then to teal, then to green. Just recently, my impulsive self wanted to stray away from green and go into my soft pink era. I knew this would be mission as the two colors are on opposite ends of the color wheel. Since Ive been going to her salon for a couple of years, I felt comfortable enough asking her if she could help get me there knowing how crazy this request sounded. Vidalias response was fully transparent, and she expressed that this may be a difficult transition as the mint green would be hard to get rid of. What I love is that besides being honest in her work, she also said she would be willing to try as long as I was open to possibly having a different color. I went into this already knowing my request was crazy so I was fully open to leaving with a different color such as purple. I went in for a color consultation so she could do a strand test. Following the test, the mint green was still very visible, so she gave me a breakdown with my two options including the process to get to each result and the cost breakdown. Option 1 was to transition back to a purple and it would take 1 day to complete. Option 2 was for her to attempt to get me to a soft pink as much as possible, BUT it was going to take 2 days to complete. The first day would involve 2 sessions of color remover and the second day would be the bleach and dye process. I went with option 2 knowing the soft pink wasnt guaranteed. Lets just say I am in love with the outcome! I was fully aware there was a high possibility I would not end up with the soft pink I wanted throughout, but Vidalia got me as close as she possibly could while still keeping my hairs health a priority. I KNOW she did her best to get me as close as possible because she was working like a mad scientist (in the best way possible) with all of the concoctions she was creating to try to get rid of the mint green. Ultimately, I love my result and couldnt have been in better hands! Im glad Vidalia has Jesse as her support because they work so effortlessly together and make a great team. Also, they are KILLING IT on social media. Speaking of IG, whether you move forward with booking a consultation with her or not, I still recommend following her! Sometimes she includes some super helpful tips on her posts. Whether you want a vivid color, a color correction, extensions, or even a haircut, you will be in good hands!

5 /5 Lynnann AKA Grandma: Wanted a brand new look and used Yelp to find this salon and Vidalia. WOW! Start to finish: consult, staff, salons esthetic, they still practice Covid sanitation between clients, the incredibly brilliant and mega talented Vidalia, affordable.... It was like winning the lottery! This was a huge change, major commitment; so it was very important it went right the first time! Her confidence and knowledge, in addition to rave reviews and spectacular pictures had sold me. Vidalia and her awesome assistant Dev (!) went above and beyond - they delivered! Although a complete stranger they made me feel like family while they transformed my look. Everything explained along the way and they are a wealth of knowledge! Truly, the entire experience and vibe was top notch. You can have complete confidence that youll receive outstanding advice, skill and absolutely zero regrets. I LOVE my hair and she was able to EXACTLY give me the sensational color mix and cut Id dreamed of! Winning.

5 /5 Thyme Nord: This review is long overdue! I have nothing but positive things to say about this little salon. Vidalia was realistic with me about the time, costs, and maintenance it would take to get the hair I wanted. She was able to lighten my heavy, dark hair tremendously and the grow-out has been just as she described. Her team put a lot of time into my appointment and I felt like I got exactly what I expected- or even better. If you are looking for a dramatic color change done right, check this place out! I hope to return soon.
