Great haircut by Miranda who stayed after hours to fit me in. Wonderful cut and conversation! Highly recommended.

Been coming here for years to see Sarina for cuts & color. She's a gem! Not only does she provide excellent conversation, she also listens carefully to what you want and then delivers. Always happy with the color and style. It's a fun and lively scene at the salon, and you can grab a glass of wine downstairs afterwards.

Great service and nice atmosphere! We scheduled two kids haircuts - one of our girls has super thick hair and the other loose curls. Our stylist was able to give both girls about a 4" cut. Looks great! Only took off one star because the stylist she said she knew how to dry cut curly hair and she didn't. Our daughter's hair still turned out super cute, but some of the curls stop halfway, which could have been better with a dry cut.

This salon is so gorgeous and eclectic in style that I find something new to appreciate each time I visit! Beautiful vintage velvet couches and the most amazing front desk I've ever seen are just a couple of its treasures. Everyone at the salon is a delight and I always feel happy to be in their presence. And the level of service provided is OUTSTANDING! In a small place like Tahoe City this salon is truly a gem that I'm so grateful I found. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for superior service & fantastic style. I see Danielle and she's amazing! I mainly stick to highlights and a trim but she's got my formula DIALED. My hair has never looked better and I love catching up with her throughout my visit! Wish I could give this place more stars!

Nicole Oxandaboure is a wonderful stylist! I visit Tahoe annually (or more) and always book an appointment with Nicole. Great salon, easy parking, and I walk out feeling gorgeous.

My bridal experience with Salon Bella Vita was pretty good. They easily accommodated my desire for a natural look (this is Lake Tahoe after all) and I was really happy with my trial hair and makeup. The prices were more reasonable (for both bridal package and bridesmaids) than most of the other salons around, which I really appreciated as this wasn't something I wanted to blow my budget on. Danielle (hair) and Sarina (makeup) were very efficient on the day of with my large wedding party, while still taking care to make sure everyone got the look they wanted. Drawbacks: coordination for the day was a little bumpy. There wasn't one point of contact (had to coordinate individually with each person), it seemed to be tough for them to work with my wedding planner instead of me and they weren't big fans of email, so I ended up coordinating a lot of people between email/text/phone and translating info back and forth with my planner, which was more hassle than it should have been. They also originally wanted to start the day earlier (8/8:30) even though we didn't need to for our schedules, because one of them had booked a mid-day appointment with a regular without finalizing the wedding schedule first. We ended up being able to work out a compromise, but the experience could have been better. Also, I loved my hairstyle (curls swept to one side and pinned low against my neck), but it didn't hold up for the full day, even after I had Danielle redo the curls to be tighter. We had our ceremony outside at the top of High Camp so it was windy; I wish Danielle had anticipated how much that would toss my hair around and curled it more tightly and added more pins and hairspray. All in all, the experience was good, not great, and I would probably have to be a bit more proactive in managing the coordination and styling if I were to do a bridal package from Bella Vita again. But on the flip side, they were friendly and the price was right!

My previous hairdresser did my hair for 15+ years, she was the only person I could trust, sadly for me (good for her) she finally retired. I’ve been struggling for 2 years to find someone who can do my hair at least as half as good as she did. Scott gave me a haircut today. I’m so incredibly happy with my new haircut! Until today I forgot what it’s like to be truly (100%) satisfied with a haircut. Besides that, he was friendly, he respected my wishes and made me feel super comfortable and relaxed during the process. I don’t think I thanked him enough so here is a 5* from me.

You would be well advised to bring business elsewhere. The ladies in there are rude, judgmental, and poorly trained to do their jobs. I went in looking for a haircut, and walked out upset and offended that they would not take me because of the way I look. My brother went in there earlier this year and asked for a trim, but purposely specified that he did not want it cut too short. In response to this, the hairstylist proceeded to buzz his head, and he was so embarrassed of the hack job she did that he wore a cap for three months straight.

After walking in and feeling as though I had a pretty woman moment in this salon, I am feeling increasingly more upset. I walked in to the salon and I am 17 years old. The women in the salon stared at me as though I was an alien for coming to a salon and wanting a trim because I look young. They denied me and there were two ladies available to cut hair. I will not be returning. In previous times, my brother walked in for a hair cut and specifically asked not to cut it too short, however, the stylist neglected his request and buzzed his head. He wore a hat for three months. You would be well advised to take business elsewhere.
