Extraordinary Looks with Heidi Cuda of Fox News.
So I met Vic Texas in Dallas, when she dropped everything to do my makeup and hair as a favor to Fox 4…. first thing she said when we met was: “I’m really good at what I doooo….” That was the understatement of the century. I never looked better in my life and as an on-camera television producer, the confidence that accompaniesthe feeling of knowing you’re putting your best face (and hair) forward is invaluable. She stayed with me through my trip from Dallas to Austin, and each day I looked more amazing than I ever could dream; she’s that talented. She says she learns from each face; I view it like Michelangelo peering into the marble to unleash the angels. She also whipped out her arsenal to touch up the businessmen I interviewed, including governor Perry, who looked hot when she was done with him. I will always be grateful for her mad skills on this Texas trip, and even more grateful for the friendship that sprung out of it. Truly an amazing gifted woman. xo Heidi Cuda, Investigative Producer Fox 11 News Los Angeles

Testimonials
Hi Victoria,
Everyone at FOX4 is so happy to have you on the team. Including me! Thanks so much for really caring about making my face look AGAP (as good as possible! ha!). And thanks so much for loaning me your fabulous earrings. That was above and beyond!
My daughter loved my lip color. Could you tell me what it was so that I can get me some?
Yes, being the makeup artist for a TV morning show is certainly about making everyone look good. But also, you are on the first line of impressions when guests arrive! You have the ability to make guests feel either "just a job" or to make them feel welcome and cared for. And you are high on the scale of the latter! You fit right in with all the other warm and loving people there. I hope you stay at FOX4 for a good long time!
I hope your mom improves and that you have an easy time getting her into a good place where she is happy. I've been there - it's so hard.
Warmly, Judie

Just got home from an amazing session with Victoria Neff. Even though she is in so much pain, she had me come in so that I could look good for my wedding this Friday. She did such an amazing job. She explained the process and what I needed to do to take care of my lashes. Also have tips on how to apply makeup for my coloring! I very much enjoyed my time with Victoria. I am so glad I found this place.
Thank you,

Vickie – I don’t think I have enough words in me to say how great it was to work with you last week. Your vision and artistic ability is just incredible. The work you did with Ashley was just incredible. Your work took the photos over the top and that is what I was looking for. I would highly recommend you to any model or photographer looking to make their photos pop more, because you CERTAINLY bring the POP!!
Sincerely,
Jay Davis

From the moment I met Victoria, she was incredibly sweet, warm and professional. I felt very comfortable the entire time she was doing my hair and makeup. Vikki even stayed later than planned just so that she could get the perfect looks. She truly is extraordinary with everything she does.

Working with Victoria today was a great pleasure! She creates beautiful work, and is fun and professional about it. The photos taken couldn’t have reached their full potential without all of her generous help. Clearly talented and skilled, it’s obvious she loves her work; everyone should! Couldn’t have worked with a better makeup artist than Victoria. I would suggest her to anyone!

Victoria, You were such a pleasure to work with! You not only drove a ridiculous amount of time for our shoot, but you came prepared and you took the time to make each LOOK work for each individual girl. You definitely took pride in your work, and it showed! The pictures were great, and we have You to thank for making us all look our best! You were so much fun to work with, while retaining a level of professionalism…. all in all…you are GREAT at what you do! I sure hope to be able to work with You again! I had a great time coming to your salon for my eyelash extensions, I love them! I will see you soon for my fill, can’t wait!
Thanks again!

I just wanted to thank you, Victoria Neff, for making me feel beautiful on a very special night for me!
Recently, as I began to prepare to attend the prestigious Corcoran Ball in Washington, D. C., my thoughts immediately went to my hair and make-up. I knew I wanted something very special and unique. It’s an extremely elegant affair, and I wanted a look to match. Victoria to the rescue! You truly understood what I wanted more than I could explain in words and brought me detailed photos of hairstyles that I could actually look at from all angles in order to make a decision on what was just right for me. Then, I told you to just take over and “do what you like” with the makeup. Well, what I got was more by a thousand times than anything I could have possibly hoped for or expected!
You truly transformed me! When my husband took my hand to leave the house, all he could say was, “WOW, you look beautiful” and that’s just how I felt! Making women feel confident and beautiful is your special gift, and I was thrilled to tell everyone who complimented me on my appearance that night about the amazing makeup artist and hairstylist that created my look, Victoria Neff of Extraordinary Looks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for making a housewife from Great Falls feel like royalty! Your amazing talent, coupled with your ability to make your customer feel like the most important person in the world to you, makes it a sheer joy to work with you. The night was amazing, and when I came home, my hair and makeup, including even my LIPSTICK looked exactly like they did when I walked out the door 5 hours earlier. That was a shock! It was an added gift to be able to feel such confident throughout the evening, as I checked my appearance. I don’t know what your magic is, I’m just glad that you worked it on me that day!
You are simply the best!

Not ready to make an appointment, I am not sure how soon to make one yet as I have a completely new and delicious haircut. I did want to tell you how “over the moon” I am about my hair. I love, love, love it!! I so enjoyed talking to you and your mom. Tell her hi for me.
Thanks again!

Extraordinary Looks Salon is THE place to get your hair done in the metroplex! The stylists are incredibly polite and truly understand the value of excellent customer service. This salon isn’t simply a haircut and color. The experience of the owner in make-up, eyelashes, and hair treatments, transform this salon into an all around beauty center. When I first walked in, all I needed done was a cut and color. I wanted to go from highlights to an all over blonde color. The owner, Victoria, then shared her expertise in other hair treatments such as cashmere luminescence and a new Inphenom deep conditioning treatment. I decided to try the deep conditioning treatment and it was the best one I’ve ever had. It left my dyed hair soft and smooth for weeks. The color was just as I imagined and the new nontraditional cutting techniques left my hair looking like a celebrity’s. I was so hooked that I also decided to get my eyelash extensions here. Again, the standards Victoria holds herself to, are impeccable. She worked on my lashes until every single one was perfect. So, if you want to feel like a celebrity, Extraordinary Looks Salon is the place for you.
See you soon!

I moved to Dallas a couple months ago and managed to have a couple disaterous hair experiences with huge price tags attached. I was determined that my hair had seen the last of its bad days and got busy doing some research… and with a couple keystrokes, I found Extraordinary Looks! To put it nicely my hair was a mess. The previous stylist had gone overboard with chunky slices of blond and underacheived with a very blah cut. I explained, to her that I was looking for more natural highlights with some dimension and a cut that had movement and could be worn straight or curly. She reassured me that she could fix my mess and made me feel extremely confident that she really would! With that, I said “I trust you, go for it!” I feel like a new woman! She delivered and then some! Not only did she give me exaclty what I wanted, but she took her time. I have a ton of hair and my crown foil took the time of a full foil and she didn’t flinch! She was sweet and funny and blast to talk to …The salon was clean, comfortable, professional and not pretentious. I was so happy with the incredible results that I didn’t even pull out the coupon in my purse (which would have saved me $45). Her price was very fair and worth every $ (and then some) and I booked my next appointment before I left. THANKS!

I love going to Extraordinary Looks. It is absolutely amazing! She has always exceeds my expectations whether I am going for a specific new hair style or color or even when I have no idea what to do. She is very knowledgeable and cares about making sure you look like a million bucks when you walk out! Prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is always great! I would definitely recommend Extraordinary looks!
Extraordinary Looks is the best! When I moved to Texas I thought it would be hard to find a hairdresser, but I was so blessed to find this place!!! The first time I went into Extraordinary Looks and had my hair done it was perfect!!!! I have long hair and am very picky about my length,color and layers, needless to say I was very excited after my first appointment. Every time I make an appointment I am never disappointed with the quality of the Salon (especially the shampoo) and the excellent services I receive!!! I have referred many of my friends and new co-workers to her of which all have loved her services.

I was in Victorias’ salon this past Saturday. She straightened my hair with the pravana treatment and also did lash extensions for me. I felt like a queen. I am so thrilled with the results. The whole experience was awesome and I am amazed with her talents. Next, I will have my hair colored, as we have already picked the colors. Can’t wait. I just love the salon and Victoria.

I absolutely love my hair! I came to Extrordinary looks back in June for my Japanese hair straightening. I am originally from NY and was skeptical, but Victoria did an amazing job. I have the straight hair I love and more body to it than ever! It was done quickly and better than I could have hoped for. Then I went to Victoria for highlights and a cut. She gave me the perfect blond color I wanted and a beautiful cut. I used to just let my hair be straight, long and boring. Now I have bangs and a great lift. Victoria is wonderful. She knows her stuff and I had a great experience.

Thank you so much for the wonderful job you’ve done with my hair. I love both the Japanese hair straightening system you used and the new hair cut. I’ve gotten so many compliments on my hair lately. Everyone loves the new cut. The straightening system makes it quick and easy to style and look great. Any time saved getting ready in the morning is fabulous! I also appreciate the time you take to make sure my hair looks great. I’ll definitely be back!

I met Victoria a couple of months ago and went to her shop and we talked and made an appointment and we are very excited about going back so she can do my daughter Gabby’s hair and mine as well. She was extremely nice and I felt like she truly give us some of her time and that she really does care about her clients.

Once again, you worked your magic and made for a very happy customer. A very happy, “little” customer. My six year old daughter, “Grandpa” and I went in today, and despite it being an “appointment only” day, Victoria quickly and kindly obliged to fit us in right then and there. It was quite the drastic cut for my child (an entire ten inches at least!), but I was certain that she was in the best hands for it! She loves her cut, I love her cut…everyone that’s seen her truly loves her cute style! Since we became your clients, we have never looked back. You deliver the upmost professionalism, minus all the “stuffy” salon feeling, and it makes for a more than pleasurable experience EVERY TIME!
You truly are a cut way above the rest, Victoria! Thank you so much!

Yesterday my daughter, Ashley, had a photo shoot and Vikki was the makeup artist. “Extraordinary Looks” is such a fitting name for her company — each look she did was extraordinary!! Vikki did a “creative look” for Ashley which was very runway style and unique. She was very friendly and fun to be around! I hope Ashley is fortunate enough to work with her again; I’d recommend her to my family and friends.

Hi, I just wanted to say that you did an excellent job on my eyelash extensions! The before and after pictures showed a remarkable improvement! And you did a beautiful job on my daughter’s makeup! The Starbucks and mini diet cokes you brough with you were an added bonus! Love your work, you are a great conversationalist and a perfectionist at your work!!
Thank you!

When I told my friend I had eyelash extensions, she said, “Oh I had that done once and it cost me over $300, and when I got home I cut them all back because they looked so fake.” You can imagine how amazed she was to see how beautiful and NATURAL that my extensions looked. She couldn’t believe her eyes…. I told her, of course, my miracle worker, Victoria! She can’t wait to have hers done now, too.

Extraordinary Looks is the perfect name for an artist of your caliber because your talent truly is EXTRAORDINARY. Thank you so much for making me feel so comfortable during the SOS shoot in Surfside, TX. Your kind words and warm heart added volumes to the spectacular work you did. The time and effort you put into all the details shines in every single picture. You knew exactly what I wanted and styled my look above and beyond anything I could have expected. You are an extremely talented and professional artist.

Victoria put eyelashes on me and I love them. All my co-workers noticed that my eye makeup was different and told me how nice my eyes looked but never guessed I had fake eyelashes. My husband even commented how pretty my eyes were. Really good price for extraordinary eye artist. I will do it again. They last !!! So much quicker to get ready for work are go out.

I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful job you did on straightening my hair. My husband can’t get over how soft it is, and all I have to do is blow dry it. I haven’t used the flat iron since. Thank you for making my hair both easier to do, and more silky and beautiful.

I just got my hair straightened by Victoria and I cannot get enough of my new look! The procedure was done with meticulous attention to detail and extraordinary care. Victoria is the true master of her craft. My previously unruly hair is sleek, healthy, and shiny! And the best part is – my husband is thrilled that I will not need to spend hours getting ready. I cannot thank you enough!

I worked with Victoria on 1/9/11 and had a blast! She is absolutely a dream to work with. She worked very closely with me before the photoshoot making sure that not a single detail was forgotten about. She used Graftobian & MicaBella Cosmetics on me. We did everything from painting latex on me to make boy shorts and gloves to putting on a bald cap to create our own ‘Splice’ type character. She also used their glitter and glosses on my face. The make up was perfection. She was able to use the makeup along with her skills to give me several flawless, yet completely different looks. I wish I could look and feel the way she made me feel about myself with her make up on EVERY DAY! Glamorous and beautiful! Victoria loves what she does and has an unmasked passion for it! I can’t wait to hire her again in the very near future!

Vickie..I just wanted to say I really love my eyelash extensions! Originally, I thought only my daughter Daniella was getting the extensions but after seeing how dramatic her eyes looked I decided to get them too! Since I have had them I have not used any mascara & I love it!! Thank You so much for the professional & beautiful service. I will def refer people to you.

PS I can’t believe how long they’ve lasted. It’s a joy to go out without taking the time for mascara!
I just wanted to thank you, and tell you what an amazing artist you are! Preparing to go to a major formal event in Washington D.C. can be pretty intimidating, and you actually made it fun! You took complete control, offering suggestions on hairstyles, showing me various CD/s actually showing the style, and then making my hair look better than the one on the CD! You showed me make up looks and understood what I was asking for intuitively. I don’t know how you did it, but I have never felt more beautiful in my life. Your work truly gave me confidence and insured that I had a fairy tale evening. Even a TV personality at the event commented on my make up being “just perfect” (for which I gave you all the credit!). Again thank you for making me feel like a celebrity for the night. Word can’t express my admiration for your talent, as well as your soothing presence and relaxed style under pressure. You’re an amazing stylist and truly a make up ARTIST!

Victoria at Extraordinary Looks gives a great Japanese straightening service that is ten times better than a Brazilian.
It grows out so what you get in the salon never washes out. Mine was done on long, thick, unmanageable curly hair in the summer is still as straight as when she did it! The new growth she just treated blends in perfectly. Best place in town for a consistent , great-every- time cut , treatment and service. You will not regret this trip to the Salon!
One Very happy customer.
