Services
Hair Cutting
Our expert stylists provide tailored haircuts combining technical precision with contemporary trends. Using premium tools and personalized consultations, we create flattering styles that enhance facial features and lifestyle needs while maintaining hair health through regular trims.
Full Highlight
This comprehensive highlighting service lifts hair tones evenly from roots to ends. Starting at $213, we use advanced techniques to create dimension while protecting hair integrity, with customized tonal variations that complement individual skin tones and personal style.
Full Balayage
Our full balayage creates natural, sun-kissed effects through expert hand-painted application. Starting at $220, this technique offers seamless gradient transitions with minimal regrowth lines, requiring less frequent touch-ups compared to traditional highlighting methods.
Color Maintenance
These treatments extend color longevity between salon visits. The Color Ance Gloss (starting $25) enhances vibrancy while the Magnetic Glaze ($35+) provides permanent high-shine results, both using ammonia-free formulas that protect hair structure and prevent fading.
Scalp Treatments
Our targeted scalp care services improve follicle health and hair quality. The Scalp Scrub ($5) removes buildup and excess oil using natural exfoliants, while the Rich Repair ($15) strengthens hair internally using silk proteins for immediate conditioning benefits.

I am so happy that we found Tina! Before Tina, we would always go to a different shop / salon for every haircut or color. A new one every time. Why? The wife was never happy with the haircut. Not once was she happy with a haircut... not one... ever. That is until we found Tina. We have gone to Tina for haircuts now for more than a decade. I am a stickler for quality and I have very little brand loyalty because it seems that the quality of any given brand or product eventually fades. Not here. Tina has been singularly outstanding for more than a decade. Wow! What consistency. No disrespect to

Love V Collective! Tina has been my go-to hair goddess for like 20 years. She has amazing style and always makes sure I leave looking my Best. Long hair or short, more conservative or funky, Tina has me covered. Plus, thanks to her my hair has never been healthier.

Google no further! I am new to SD and was dreading finding a new stylist, as anyone would. I ended up just searching for Oribe salons so I knew they'd be at least competent. I am SO HAPPY I found V Collective. David was my stylist and my savior. I came in with a badly grown-out pixie (think mullet), a sad leftover highlight job and post-partum new growth, and I came out absolutely in LOVE with my hair. He was thought through every detail - it can grow out beautifully if we get shut down again, it can air dry perfectly every day which is huge for a new mom and it's a special cut - it's just for

David has been cutting my hair for nearly 15 years now - and now coloring over the past 9 years. I am so lucky to have found him - his approach to curly hair is second to none. I would fly back from Singapore 4 times a year between 2012-2014 while working overseas because he is the only one I trust - dry cut, curl by curl, to make sure it all looks great. With COVID, David and Tina have spared no expense to ensure a healthy, clean and safe experience in the salon. Protocols, supplies like corn based smocks to keep you protected and cooler while seated for your service, reduced traffic to only two

About three years ago, Tina saved me after a terrible color job by someone else. I won't go anywhere else as long as she's here. Her color and cuts are impeccable and last. And in addition to that, the salon is really comfortable and relaxing. So are the monthly specialty cocktails! It's always a treat to come in.

I have been here a handful of times now and am on a schedule to do mini-touch ups. See, my scalp is incredibly sensitive and the products that V Collective uses is perfect for sensitive scalps. So if this is what you seek, I highly recommend it. Tina is very accommodating to my needs and does great hair. Everyone is nice, its very relaxing here. If you are looking for a new spot with no pressure to take a bunch of products home (although you will want to because it all smells good and feels great!), give it a shot. Tell them Ana sent you!
