Vie Salon is owned by Miko Wady, Jennifer Wady and Jennifer's mother Pamela Goodson.

What everyone needs to be aware of is that Miko Wady and Jennifer Wady are professional con artists. They recently stole $35 million from investors in a concert promotion ponzi scheme. Miko Wady presents himself as a successful hip hop manager and event promoter - it is all a fraud. There are numerous lawsuits currently pending against Miko and Jennifer Wady (check the Maricopa County Superior Court website) or do a basic Google search for Miko Wady.

Vie salon was is being operated with embezzled money. How do you think the Wadys and Goodson hired Joey Fatone and others for the grand opening? They used some of the $35 million they recently stole. You should also be aware that Miko Wady and Jennifer Wady have started a new ponzi scheme with a corporation by the name of NATO Entertainment.

Pamela Goodson, do you enjoy living the lavish lifestyle off stolen money? You have to know that law enforcement is actively building a case against Jennifer, Miko and your family. When all of you are rotting in jail in a few years, will it have been worth it?

Avoid Vie Salon as it is a front for a money laundering family of crooks. If you question it, do a simple websearch and you will see the truth.

Everything the first comment states about Vie Salon is true. The Wadys have stolen (and brag about it) millions from investors in their Dezert Heat fraud.

Shady Wady! I know the Cundiff family personally. The only mistake they made was to trust Miko Wady with honest investment capital to finance a business that Miko Wady was using to launder money. Miko Wady will be taken down by the FBI and all the truth will be known. James Cundiff had done nothing but act with integrity. Miko Wady does not even know how to spell integrity. Miko Wady has not only defrauded the Cundiff family but also the Earnhardt family and the Heap family and the Tanner family. All big time money people in Phoenix/Mesa area. James Cundiff made one mistake and that was he believed in Miko Wady and wanted to help Miko Wady build a successful business for him and his family. But instead of build a business, Miko Wady decided to operate a criminal money laundering scheme. He has paid investors with others investors money. Forensic accountants are reviewing his bank statements and tracing the money. Miko Wady is guilty.

I posted the original comment about Miko Wady, Jennifer Wady and Pamela Goodson's fraud under the alias "Defrauded by Wady". I did not post the follow-up comments attesting to the Cundiffs honesty under that alias.
Please use your own alias or name - I do not want my "alias" associated with attesting to the Cundiffs honesty. I invested through the Cundiffs and have serious questions about how/why the Cundiffs got investors into 2 ponzi schemes within a short period of time (Mathon Management & Miko Wady's fraud). To me, that implies that the Cundiffs are either 1) incompetent and invest millions of dollars of investor money without conducting adequate due diligence, or 2) receive great kickbacks from the fraud & don't care about ruining people's financial lives. Neither one sits well with me.
No one has given me a good explanation about how the Cundiffs lost investors money in both Mathon & Miko Wady's fraud. Please convince me of these people's honesty.

If Miko ripped off the Earnhardt family then why is one of the Earnhardt's working at Vie Salon and Spa?

If anyone does their due diligence they will find the court evidence to show in all these incidences who the guilty parties are. The Cundiff's were 'employed' by Mathon. They were not founders, or owners. Do you hold the employees of Enron responsible for what those responsible did? It's a ridiculous notion.When it comes to Dezert Heat, the courts have ruled. They don't do that over 'talk'. It takes evidence. The FBI required evidence. There is definitely a lot of emotion involved. However, due diligence will also show that firms were hired by the Cundiff's to handle different areas of due diligence. The bottom line is that people will believe what they want to believe no matter what the evidence shows. They will have proof & convictions in front of them and still somehow be convinced that agencies, Judges, & everyone else somehow didn't 'get' it. So, it goes with human nature. As a personal investor in this and many other projects I have seen it all. Not just that but you get a feel for what true deception and deceivers are. Those who may be less experienced very well may be easily fooled. Their emotions run high, and are not used to taking responsibility for their own decisions. There are many seasoned investors who acwknowledge and are capable of accepting such responsibility. We know that we did, or didn't, do our own due diligence. That we willingly participated and were involved. This is why we will rebound and rise above. Those who continually blame and avoid responsibility will always attain the same level they are at.

I'm going to assume that the last comment was posted by Miko Wady, because of the content of the comment and how it defends Dezert Heat. Your right, if the courts ruled in favor of dezert heat then you are not guilty of those cases. However, as you mentioned the emotions that are involved are because there legitimate people that you promised you would deliver to and you didn't. Also there is a such thing as Karma.... and if you've heard of it you know as well as anyone else that it does come back around twice as hard. So once again, you might be innocent in those few civil suits, but everyone must not be telling the same lies on one common company and a few common people. A quote by Angela Davis; "If they don't come for you in the morning.. they will come for you in the afternoon.....
I am not surprised at you scheme Miko Wady. Be carefull who you mistreat today, because they might be the people that you need tommorrow.

I was one of the unfortunate investors in this crummy deal. I hate both Miko Wady and the Cundiff's for this so I show no favoritism to either side. I have investigated both parties and have found a lot of the things mentioned in the above postings. The one thing that has convinced me that the Cundiff’s are just plan foolish and that Miko is a crook is the ongoing FBI Investigation. I have heard from reliable sources that this investigation is in fact going on and that the Cundiff’s are a small part of a much larger puzzle. Aruba seems to be the only place safe for Mr. Wady in the future. Have fun.

As for the Cundiff’s I am sure they will end up getting their fair share of punishment for being fools as well.

Unfortunate Investor,

Have you contacted the FBI? If not, you really should.

I know the Cundiffs were trying to limit any investor communication with the press and law enforcement (via their "settlement agreement")- probably to try to keep this fraud covered up.

I phoned the FBI recently. It took about 2 weeks, but an agent phoned me and requested specific information about my loss. My take is that the FBI was surprised that investors are not coming forward to law enforcement. The more people that are willing to spend an hour or two speaking with law enforcement, the more likely we will see justice against those that have stolen from us.

Thanks.

I was looking for a salon and had seen ads for Vie. I went online to find their website. For an upscale salon/spa, you'd think one would have long been set up, but there is none. While online searching for info about this the Vie Salon, I came across these postings here as well as on ripoffreport.com and eastvalleytribune.com and other searches. Consequently, I made an appointment for another salon. Glad I did the research.

Check out this link. I think it's only a matter of time before TransCapital and Mr. Wady are indicted.

I lost thousands of dollars in Miko Wady's concert promotion fraud and it infuriates me to see that my money is being used to fund Vie Salon. Please avoid Vie Salon, as it was funded at the expense of those of us who collectively had $30 million dollars stolen from us by Jennifer Wady, Miko Wady and Pamela Goodson and her family. They are living the good life while innocent investors are now having to file bankruptcy and have their homes foreclosed. If you solicit Vie Salon in Chandler, you are furthering the Wady fraud.

I have been monitoring the numerous lawsuits against Miko and Jennifer Wady and they are doing a great job of delaying the courts and stalling the inevitable civil judgments against them. If you lost money in the Wady concert fraud, you realistically will not be seeing your money again. Even when the suits against the Wadys are successful do you truly think this con artist will have money laying around to hand over?

If you invested your money through James Cundiff or his family, Lee Blanche or Diane Stech, I urge you to contact the FBI. The FBI has told me they are amazed that more people are not coming forward and that law enforcement needs your help in their investigation. In speaking with the Arizona Corporation Commission, Lee Blanche, Diane Stech and the Cundiff family violated numerous securities laws. They sold us securities (under the guise of a loan) but are not licensed securities salespeople.

If Lee Blanche, Diane Stech, James Cundiff, Adam Cundiff or another member of the Cundiff family required you to sign a "settlement agreement" whereby you do not speak with law enforcement about this fruad in hopes of having some of your funds returned, that is illegal. It is in the best interest of the Cundiffs, Lee Blanche & Diane Stech if this fraud is kept quiet. For those of us who lost millions of dollars - it only means there is even less likelihood of justice ever being served.

Please contact law enforcement today (the Arizona Corporation Commission & the FBI) if you were defrauded by this fraud.
