2009-06-18 12:26:27   Vita Dolce is the newest and hottest place in Davis. Antainette has been doing my hair for years and it always looks amazing! I never have to wait and I always get her full attention. No squeezing others in during my appointment like I've had happen at other salons. My color always looks awesome and I always leave happy! This is definitely a place you need to check out!! —shylia

2009-06-18 17:04:19   Vita Dolce is beautiful, and definately the best salon in davis. From the minute you walk in, you feel welcome with the open, bright, layout! Love the Tiffany blue, very nice! The sleak clean, and organized look and feel make you feel like you've stepped out of a busy life, all to relax and get done up. The whole staff is great! Alyssa is my stylist, and I usually leave it up to her to decide on my colors and my style, and she really knows what she's doing, everyone is always asking "who does your hair!" The one thing about this place, is that you can really tell that everyone that works there wants to be there and make you feel great, even with the drink bar, and all! Thanks Vita Dolce, and congratulations on your future success! Definatly, check it out!!!! ***** Five stars. Rina —aryounan

2009-06-18 18:50:53   Vita Dolce = Sick!! I've been to multiple salon and barber shops and this is by far the nicest, most welcoming and visually pleasing location I’ve seen. From the moment you walk in you get a very warm and calming feeling with the blue all around you… Now for me I went to get a fade with a trim on top, and I don’t know why, but most places it’s either they are experts at fades and tapers but can’t cut hair free style or vise versa. However, at Vita Dolce doesn’t matter what style of cut you need Mike P / Mr. Hollywood will take care of ya. Sitting down in the chill barbershop room with a huge flat screen TV and talking it up Hollywood about what ever, will feel relax and confident that you’re in the hands of the best hair stylist in Davis! When he was done with my fade and trim, with minimal instructions by me, I was hella stocked because it was the cleanest cut I had in years. Perfect fade and Perfect trim… that dude so good he should be called ‘Mike of All Trades’! For real’s!! Hit them up you won’t regret it. —KINGJES

2009-06-18 21:43:01   Vita Dolce is the only place I will be going from now on... Thank goodness we have some serious talent in Davis. I went in for a cut from Alyssa, and got exactly what I wanted. I asked for a "lob," and I had brought a picture. A lob is a long bob, and after she was finished I was so happy at how good it turned out! Not surprised at all, Alyssa seriously has what it takes. Antainette, was also very nice, and funny, it was like I was hanging out with my girlfriends. They made sure my time there was great, cold bottled water, or soda, or even wine. They also got me hooked on the product they carry, Davines. Defineatly worth every penny. I had asked Alyssa about each product, because I needed specific things to control color, and frizz and stuff like that, and she knew exactly what I needed; My hair has really never felt this good. This place is countless steps ahead of the rest!!! And the pedicures aren't bad either... hehe......Just a down right awesome salon, from style and design, to just "shear" talent (no pun intended ;-) —SofiaR

2009-06-18 22:02:27   Alyssa at Vita Dolce has been cutting my hair for a couple years now and I LOVE the way she does my hair! She always dedicates her full attention to me during my appointment, ensuring wonderful results each and every visit. Prior to meeting Alyssa, I had been flying to LA to get my hair cut because I couldn't find a local pro. I was convinced by a friend to try Alyssa and I haven't been back to LA since! Simply put, Alyssa knows her stuff: she is professional, stylish, and extremely talented. In addition to all this Alyssa has a cheerful, fun personality and I always leave looking and feeling GREAT! (A+ Alyssa!) —angcastle

2009-06-19 15:23:13   Why look anywhere else to get cut? My boy Mike at Vita Dolce does it official. Real talent and passion is hard to find these days but Mike knows how to treat you right. just tell him exactly what you want and you will not leave disappointed. you really dont know what a real haircut looks like unless you been to Mike. Ive known him for well over a year and hes been up and down california cutting hair and learning fresh new techniques and styles. he just got back from Orange County after a successful stay and hes ready to give you the cleanest, most eye catching haircut uve ever had. the time and detail he puts into his cuts is second to none. barbers like Mike are few and far between, let him prove to you that haircuts can be fun as well as rewarding. your friends and family will notice a difference. Mike's cuts will give you the swagger you need to be that go getter you always wanted to be... —AnthonyConrad

2009-06-19 18:43:35   Vita Dolce is where its at! Don't let the name fool you because there is a REAL BARBER SHOP that is seperate from the salon in the back. I live in Vacaville and used to go to get a fade in Dixon by Mike Preciado (aka Hollywood) or Carlos Preciado even though there are barber shops in Vacaville. Now that they are in Davis I travel even further to get faded up. Not only are they the best barbers but they are also really cool people and treat all of their customers as friends. They make you want to hang so if you have to wait you dont realize that you are waiting. Even after my hair cuts are done I always stick around if I have time to. My haircut is always clean and just the way I want it. I dont even have to tell them what I want because they already know. Mike was barbering in L.A. for a while and when I went out there for vacation I made a point to stop at his barber shop for a Mike P Special (the cleanest fade I have ever have in my life). I always refer my friends to Mike and the ones who decide to try him out are more than satisfied. I also love the fact that at Vita Dolce it is a Salon & Barber Shop because I can bring my girlfriend with me to get her hair or nails done while I get my fade... make sure to stop by one day and at least look at it (also meet the crew) even if you are not sure about getting a service done. —brhodes707

2009-06-19 19:08:14   What up Mike P. Thanks for the birthday love and the sexy fade homie. I was hella stressing hitting Napa for my birthday weekend with my lady after my last Davis cut. You really took the time to hook it up, get all the small things other barbers fail to notice, and make it look pimp. My whole headpiece is like whoa. You're a helluva barber and I'm glad we finally got someone in town that can cut it up like back home in LA. Much love. —Johnathen

2009-06-23 13:13:14   Vita Dolce is the most professional and stylish new salon in Davis. Antainette and Alyssa have done an amazing job decorating the salon part of Vita Dolce and everytime I go in, I have a great experience. Alyssa has been my stylist for about a year now, and she is literally the best stylist I have ever had. She successfully transitioned me from brunette to blonde without making me look ridiculous and I always leave the salon satisfied. People are constantly asking me where I get my hair done. I have referred over 10 of my sorority sisters and friends to Alyssa, and everyone has become a repeat customer! If you are looking for a professional, relaxing, reasonable priced and stylish salon with dependable stylists who have a lot of experience and know what they are doing, Vita Dolce is definitely the place to go. —MRS

2009-07-20 14:03:43   I just had my first hair cut at Vita Dolce by Mike the week before. I went in without knowing what to expect except for all these previous posting. Fortunately, the previous postings weren't lies. I just went in and allowed Mike to cut as he deemed necessary. While getting my hair chopped, Mike and I talked about a great assortment of topics. When the job was done, I had the cut I wanted. Furthermore, I did not have any cash with me; but, Mike allowed me to head over to my bank and get some money. Talk about trust! Overall, I highly recommend this place; the place feels like getting a haircut at home but with the professional skill level. —MrHer

2009-07-28 15:04:14   So basically im here talking about Mr. Mike Peezy AKA Hollywood. Dis dude is sick !!!!. His cuts r so clean. I haven't had a good barber ina long minute. Even doe I like new looks all the time, I feel Mike knows wats best. Ppl be jockin my cuts all the time. Haha. Go to him for fades, tappers, fohawks, mohawks or anything else u wann. He is a beast at the cuts. —BigJoe

2009-08-17 15:04:17   I got my hair cut here by Alyssa a few months ago, and it was the best cut I've ever had. She is a perfectionist! My hair looked great when I left the salon. She understood my hair type, and she was able to cut a style that was not only adorable, but fit into my daily hair styling regime easily. Not only is she an excellent stylist, but she's extremely sweet and very fun to chat with while she works. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new stylist. —ElizabethAbinante

2009-09-01 15:45:43   Don't let the entrance fool you gentlemen. Step inside, turn left and, Carlos, the best barber in Davis is waiting for you in a traditional men's barber shop complete with big screen TV. No kidding - the best haircut ever. —JoeODonnell

2009-09-04 13:33:07   Vita dolce is the best place to get ur haircut. Mike P gives the best fades and and haircuts. I drive all the way to vita dolce from dixon just to get a cut. —jed

2009-09-22 14:25:36   Carlos has been cutting my hair for a couple of years. I started going to Carlos when he was in Dixon. I'm glad I found him, because it's so hard to find a good/ traditional barber nowadays. I don't mind the extra drive to Davis, because I know I'm always going to get a good haircut, and friendly and professional service. During my visit to Vita Dolce, I took advantage of a massage with Marissa. She did an awesome job on my sore and tight muscles. At Vita Dolce, you get it all. I highly recommend Vita Dolce to anyone, you won't be dissatisfied!!!! Don't forget to take advantage of their first time discounts... —italomartin

2009-10-15 16:36:26   This is definitely the best barbershop in Davis. It took me a year but I finally found a place that can give a good fade. Also, love that they use the straight razors. —MarkD

2009-11-14 14:48:54   Alyssa is great! She just gave me a great cut today and I've been going to her for about a year now. Sadly I will only get to see her once more before I graduate and move away from Davis...but she is the best! :) Definitely an awesome, professional, clean and stylish salon. —plaidisrad

2009-11-19 09:23:25   Love this salon! It has a great vibe and the place is so clean! I been getting my hair done by Hannah Silici for about 4 years, following her around where ever she goes. She does the best color and cuts ever! I'm so happy to see her in the new location! Thanks so much Hannah for the best hair ever! P.s they have a Barbershop to in the back. —Sarahplainandtall

2009-12-12 18:38:40   AMAZING! When I found out Maria was no longer at Lasting Impressions I panicked and after calling like 4 different salons I thought I was never going to find someone but then I called Vita Dolce and got an appt with Kristin...best service in a long time. My hair looks and feels great. I love this place! —Tiffee

2009-12-17 12:49:35   This is a TOP NOTCH Barbershop. The best in my opinion. I was very impressed with my barber Carlos in all aspects, ranging from his great care and personability to his knowledge and experience. I am very pleased with the seamless taper and am very glad to have tried his suggestions. Will be going back for sure. —Alex

2009-12-18 02:05:35   The fact is that Davis isn't a great town for barber shops: after being here a year and a half, I've tried most of them. Got tired of being condescendingly (and incorrectly) lectured to about the financial crisis while getting substandard haircuts by one muscle-bound brother, got tired of unpredictable results at a few other places. After four haircuts — nothing fancy, straight-up barbering — with both Carlos and Mike I have to say I'm now loyal to the shop. They still use the straight-razor on the neck, still use old-school aftershave, still know how to do a real taper, their first question isn't "What number clipper?" (yeah, scissors are still the primary instrument) and they still know how to talk with you — not at you — while you're getting a cut. It's called a barber shop, and many other establishments could take some lessons from them. —Swilltopower

2010-01-12 11:05:34   Friendly people in the barbershop. Very poor haircut: uneven and patches. Layering of hair poorly done. Shop is not clean. Not recommended. Sorry. —willygates

2010-01-21 19:23:15   Love Vita Dolce! They're simply the best, staff is amazing. Kristin does my hair religiously and it's always the greatest experience. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants get their primp on all around! Two thumbs up, best and most fun salon I've been to! —RhiRhi

2010-01-30 15:31:29   Love Love Love Vita Dolce...... 1st time there for Me and My 6yr old. Kristin Hernandez was Wonderful! As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted and asked if we needed anything. We were then given a tour and off to have our hair done. I got a cut and Highlights, which came out beautiful. Everyone there was very sweet and we will be retuning very soon, but this time we will be bringing another fan may 8 yr old son since they have a Barber.... It's the 1 stop shop! Thanks so much..... Your Vacaville Friends don't mind driving to Davis for a Great Cut or Color! —ENEDINA

2010-02-10 21:34:25   Graduated from Davis last summer and relocated in South bay. The only reason Im visiting Davis is have my haircut with Alyssa. Alyssa has been doing my hair for two years now! :) She knows exactly what she is doing, love how she layering my hair! —2250402

2010-02-12 15:24:32   The worst haircut i have had in years. Just wanted a little trim and they pretty much butchered it. Will never go back. I think most of these positive comments are fake by the way. . —mark333

2010-03-10 13:12:59   Just got a killer haircut from Hollywood this time. top notch, clean and just the way I wanted it. Very pleased, really nice job. —Alex
