A message from Danielle It comes a point in time when you’re at a road block, you either continue on the path you have been on or you switch paths. I came to that road block and I had to make a decision, do I stay or do I do what is best for me and the well being of my clients. So here we are, this is how Vida de Blends was created. I am bringing a different spin to what a stereotypical salon is known for. Vida de Blends is not only my home but it is yours too. This is where you come to feel beautiful but most importantly where you come to be you. I have always taught in my classes that the client / stylist relationship goes way beyond just hair. You need to actually build relationships to be successful not just in this industry but in life. You will never be treated as a number here, you will be treated as family. Because without you, this would of never been possible. xo Dani
