“I really want my clients to know how much I appreciate them,” said Hudson, owner of Salon Dia in Bella Vista. “I have been here six years now and am booked past Christmas - that means a lot to me.”

“Karen even does hair extensions.”

She said their goal is to provide hairstyles that complement clients’ lifestyles, skin tones and facial shapes in a clean, relaxed atmosphere.

“This is a small salon where people can relax and enjoy getting a haircut, color or perm. We also do waxing and eyebrow and eyelash tinting,” Hudson said.

In addition to making clients look their best, Hudson also is dedicated to spending quality time with each customer.

“Customers are not rushed in and rushed out,” she said. “I make sure they are happy with the results.”

Perms that don’t make color-treated hair frizzy or dry are available, as well as long-lasting color that adds a lasting shine, she said.

The salon, located behind Curves off Arkansas340 west in the Town Center area, is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. (after hours by appointment) Tuesday-Friday and 9 a.m. until the last appointment on Saturday.
