Salon Valentina

05/15/2008 Posted by nygal311

Coming to Utah I was concernced about finding a salon like what I used to - I'm originally from NY and have been living in Las Vegas for the past 6 years. I asked a co-worker for a recommendation and she told me about Salon Valentina. I decided to give it a whirl. It was perfect! The salon was so inviting and everyone was so friendly! I loved the giant windows, beautiful atmosphere, and the quaint feeling there. Not one of these HUGE super edgy salons where you get the cold shoulder. In fact, I had such a good time there - the girls are very professional but fun and funny! I scheduled my appointment with Erika and she was wonderful!! She made me feel very at home and I walked out of that salon with the best haircut and most fabulous color I think I've ever had! Talk about a stylist who knows what she's doing! I'm not interested in going anywhere else.

Pros: Fantastic atmosphere, friendly people, amazing talent - average prices

Cons: I'm used to having a Diet Coke while I get my hair done - no soda there

Charlie is one of the hair stylists who owns Salon Valentina. I agree that he is amazing. I have been getting my hair cut and styled by him for at least 8 years. Charlie always does exactly what I want and is a very personable man. The only con is that If you want a hair cut from him, you need usually need to schedule it a few weeks in advance because he is so popular.

Pros: Wonderful service and atmosphere

i went to valentina for the first time and anyway i was really dissapointed , i spent the most money here then any other hair salon and they didnt even do a good job, i got my hair partially highlighted and when i was done it hardly looked like my hair got color...so i went home mad but then after taking to friend (she was right if i dont like it i should go back and tell them so i did and got more highlight for free since i paid after few more i decied to wacht her and notice she only put 1 pieces on the each side and called it partially didnt even get the back side ( i told her abpout it and then she added one more foil ) anyway im not happy. later my family saw my highlight and said they were where hardly noticable and thats going back the 2 second time,... so im not going back,,, i highlighted my hair before and it looked good, but takes alot more work- but even that i like how u can add lot more to yout hair........., i found one salon worth paying - (Lunatic Fringe)- suprislying dont charge much and hair drying and washing free and valentina charges for drying and washing hair -

We were new in town and my husband desperately needed a haircut so we decided to try Salon Valentina. Our stylist was Cassy. Right away we felt comfortable with her, she listen to what we wanted and gave us just that! She was amazing. My husband will not go to anyone but her and now i have become a loyal client. She cuts, colors, highlights and styles my hair and it's perfect every time! The salon had a great atmosphere and everyone is so polite.

I went to salon Valentina twice in the past 5 months, once for highlights, and once for a perm. My stylist was Ashley (large, dark haired girl, very pleasant) and she did a magnificent job each time. All my friends loved the highlights (and the A-line haircut that went with it). As for the perm, I wanted a loosely curled, beach-style look, and I got exactly that. Some of my friends love it, some preferred the straight hair version, but I am quite happy with this look. The place was pricey for my student budget (about $100 per session), but it was worth it (for once to twice a year occurrence), as my significant other complimented me on the hair each time. Recommend this salon for special occasions, or for a good hairstyle that lasts a few months.

Pros: great hairstyling

Cons: somewhat pricey (>$50 for anything)

I'm new to the area and was looking for a good salon ( I've already dealt w/ 2 bad ones here). I scanned city search and found Valentina was really close to me. I called and was immediately able to make an appointment the same day. My stylist was Ashley and she really made me feel at home, she was pleasant and chatted with me about what I wanted done to my hair. She did exactly what I wanted for a VERY reasonable price and I "look hot" (my boyfriend's response). All the girls I work with are going over there now and they were just as satisfied. I definitely recommend this awesome salon.

Pros: Experience, friendliness, great customer service

Cons: None that I could see

Who is Charley? I've been to this place a few times and didn't notice a Charley. There are others that work there too. Maybe Charley is new and trying to build his/her clientelle by getting their friends to write about him. When I got my hair done, the lady almost killed my scalp with the blow dryer. Haven't had such a problem before. The other time I went in to get my eyebrows done, I was impressed that they didn't just wax, but trimmed the hair length too. The second time I went in they did not trim the hair length along with the waxing.

I found the salon by reading the reviews. Deciding if Charly was that good, the staff would be also. (Iam 57 and thanks to the current makeover shows woke up to the fact I had been wearing my hair the same way for 30odd years) So told this to Sara, who was the delightful girl who cut my hair, that I was in her hands,do what you think (something I have never said to a hairdresser). she put my back to the mirror and when she finished I hardly recognised my self. She did an amazing job. I'd say the best I've ever had. The rest of the reviewers are also right the atmosphere is good, the staff very friendly and wonderful work at a reasonable price. My hair looks great. Have had complements from all over the place. Thank-you Sara and thank-you City Search!

I saw Charly for the first time today and I have just one thing to say - the guy is FANTASTIC! For 15 years I've had my hair cut and colored by 'the best' in the Salt Lake and not one of them has half the talent this guy has. I'm very picky about my hair (who isn't!) and I have a lot of it. Charly listened to me, even took time to sit down and look at a couple of magazines with me to make sure we understood each other, and then he worked his magic. The result, 45 minutes later, is amazing. The salon is comfortable, light, and open - and not at all pretentious (although they have every right to be!) They have good product lines for sale, but not one person tried to sell me anything.

Pros: CHARLY!, Relaxed astmosphere

Charly gives the best cut I have ever had! He is a perfectionist and you can tell that every single hair on your head receives attention. He is great with color too, for us not-so-natural blondes. Great conversationalist with a bit of sexy charm! He was one of the hardest people to leave when I had to move to Colorado. I have had my nails, toes, and eyebrows done at Salon Valentina. Everything was great! The staff is wonderful and the salon is upscale without being overdone. I highly recommend Charly and the salon. Plus they are open on Mondays which is so uncommon in the Salon World And if for some reason, you go there and are not happy; TELL THEM! This is one place where they do not want you to leave dissatisfied. They will do everything in their power to make it right!

Pros: Convenient, Lots of Parking, Wonderful Staff
