An International Journey - Over 25 Years of Knowledge and Passion
Before establishing Sakura Salon in Dallas, Violet Ho had spent more than two decades diligently learning and working at international companies based in Vietnam.
She began her career at Art Hair - a Korean company in Vietnam - where she worked for six years as a trainer, educator, and team leader. She then continued with IB Astar, another Korean brand, for two years, where she advanced her ability to train students and staff at a higher level.
Her career took a turning point when she joined Mano Mano, a Japanese company, where she managed, taught, and worked hands-on for four years. This period deeply instilled in her the meticulous spirit and the highest standards of the Japanese hair industry.
Her international experiences became the foundation that allowed her to confidently establish her own company - Obama Japan Model, a milestone that marked her resilience and aspiration to grow beyond limits. After years of practice, she returned to Japan to further refine her craft, and then chose the United States as the place to build her long-term career.
Today, Violet Ho is not only the owner of Sakura Salon in Dallas but also a direct instructor of professional Japanese Head Spa training courses. What makes her stand out is her consistency: whether in Japan, Korea, or the U.S., she has remained true to one guiding spirit - a relentless pursuit of knowledge to deliver beauty that is refined, authentic, and humane.
Working with Heart, Living with Purpose
Despite her achievements in the beauty industry, Violet Ho never stops at her current success. She holds a bigger dream: to bring authentic Japanese Head Spa to the Vietnamese community in the U.S. She hopes that the beauty profession for Vietnamese people will not only be confined to nails or PMU, but will expand into a new path - luxurious, high-class, and full of growth potential.
Every day, Violet Ho is not only a stylist or a trainer but also a listener, a sharer, and an inspiration. Sometimes it is a client needing hair restoration, sometimes it is a student losing direction in their career. She always appears at the right time, with the calmness and devotion of someone experienced, to guide and uplift. For her, practicing beauty is not about competition, but about integrity - staying true to oneself in a noisy market and spreading kindness through both skill and heart.
A Journey Beyond Appearance
Violet Ho never considered beauty work as just a job. To her, it is an art of healing. Every strand of hair, every area of the scalp, every fatigue her clients bring with them is a message from the body that deserves to be listened to and cared for.
As a Master Instructor & Stylist, she doesn’t just hold scissors or shampoo bottles - she offers true relaxation, recovery, and care. In recent years, she has dedicated her passion to developing Japanese Head Spa - a traditional Japanese scalp therapy that combines deep technical expertise with the subtle emotional sensitivity of the practitioner.
Sakura Salon - A Place of Kindness and Refinement
Located in Dallas, Sakura Salon is where people find balance between a fast-paced life and the need for self-care. Every detail - from fragrance, lighting, to the feeling when stepping inside - has been carefully curated so each visit feels like a mini-retreat in the middle of the bustling city.
“Sakura” in Japanese means cherry blossom - a flower symbolizing purity, transience, and rebirth. This resonates with Violet’s philosophy: beauty is the awakening of inner vitality, a journey of nurturing confidence and serenity for every woman.
Sakura Salon - A Brand of Quality and Devotion
Sakura Salon is not simply a beauty salon; it is a place where every detail - from space, service, to customer experience - reflects Violet Ho’s heart and the strict standards of someone who has lived with the profession for more than 25 years.
Each service package is tailored to the client’s hair and scalp condition and individual needs. Every product used is carefully selected from trusted brands, prioritizing safety and effectiveness.
The staff are not only well-trained in technique but also in service spirit - attentiveness, subtlety, and professionalism in every gesture. From the first greeting to the final step of service, clients always feel cared for with gentleness and sincerity. This has created the unique “Violet Ho identity” that few places can replicate.
Sakura Salon’s excellence is not showy but consistent and steadfast. Violet Ho doesn’t chase quantity or fleeting trends but builds a brand rooted in trust and genuine satisfaction. That is why Sakura Salon is not just a beauty destination - it is a sanctuary of values, spirit, and true self-care for both body and soul.
Planting Seeds for the Next Generation
The greatest legacy of a seasoned professional is not fame, but the generations of successors with strong skills, steady hearts, and professional ethics. That is why, alongside her salon work, Violet dedicates much effort to training. She not only teaches Japanese Head Spa techniques but also instills respect for clients, thoroughness in every action, and sincerity in every service.
Each student leaving her class is like a seed planted with knowledge and nurtured with trust. This has formed a community of kind-hearted beauty practitioners spreading from the U.S. and Canada to many other countries worldwide.
A Torchbearer and Global Connector
Violet Ho is also a strong source of inspiration in the Vietnamese beauty community in the U.S. and beyond. She is a pioneer in organizing intensive Japanese Head Spa training courses with structured curricula, hands-on practice, and internationally recognized certification.
Recently, a student from Canada completed a 3-day Master Class at Sakura Salon and received a professional certification - a testament to the credibility and quality of her training programs. For Violet, teaching is not just about passing on skills, but about sharing heart and soul, because to truly work in beauty, one must begin with the heart.
A New Chapter of Sharing - Launching “Violet Ho Official”
Realizing that her knowledge, skills, and human-centered messages need wider reach, Violet Ho launched her YouTube channel “Violet Ho Official”. This is not only a professional platform but also a space where she shares perspectives on the industry, life lessons, and real stories from her journey of beautifying thousands of people.
The channel is the next step in her mission of mentorship, allowing those who cannot travel to Dallas to still access knowledge, standardized procedures, and inspiration from someone who has lived fully with her craft for over two decades.
Overcoming Storms - Staying True to the Profession
Few know that before building the polished Sakura Salon of today, Violet Ho endured many lonely, challenging days in a foreign land. During her early years in the U.S., language barriers, cultural differences, and financial pressures often discouraged her. At times, she almost gave up, but her love for the craft and belief in the value of beauty kept her moving forward.
She started again from scratch - studying, retraining in every small technique, working tirelessly from morning till night to gather enough experience, clients, and trust. Every failure became a lesson; every complaint, an opportunity to improve. She never took shortcuts. She chose to move slowly but surely - guided by kindness and integrity. Years of perseverance eventually brought her well-deserved results: a respected brand, a loyal clientele, and hundreds of students who trust her as their mentor.
In a world that grows increasingly fast and superficial, Violet Ho chooses a path of depth and mindfulness. She does not seek to show off, yet every step she takes leaves a mark - in the salon, the classroom, as a teacher, a friend, a stylist, and an inspiration for a more beautiful life. With her channel “Violet Ho Official,” her journey will continue to reach even further. With her gentle voice, sincere eyes, and tireless heart, Violet Ho continues to write her story - one of dedication, love, and faith in the beauty that begins within.
