Valarie Klayko

At the age of ten, I decided the hair world is where I wanted to be. The smells, the level of creative expression, the atmosphere, the way I felt inside after the stylist turned me round in the chair to see the final product- thats what I knew I wanted for my career- thats what I knew I needed for my life. 

Its hard to believe I've now been fifteen years in the field. I've been challenged with health issues that almost got me to quit- but the drive and love I have for hair has kept me going forward- stronger than ever. I love what I do! - and that will never change!

My goal has always been to give my best to every single one of my clients. To make each individual feel cared for and catered to, so when they leave, they feel great about themselves and their hair. Not only do I want to make sure we are on the same communication wave length with hair goals, but also to ensure the end result leaves them with the best possible integrity left in the hair. I am certified in both the Redken and Pureology lines. As an artist in and also out of the hair world, I believe Redken hair color gives me the pallet I need to give my clients the best in grey coverage, shine, and creative mixes. Pureology is the tool I feel is best for keeping the longevity of the color in between appointments.

My passion is for the dramatic. I live for the days my clients let me be creative with their locks in both colors and cuts. From the ombre, to the bright vivids, to the punk pixies, to amping up the blonde, to excelling the natural color to the next level- color is my jam. I also specialize in men's cuts and secretly wish I was a barber. Check out my work on my Instagram @theblondevalentine and give me a follow!

If you feel like dramatic is what you want, I just ask for a call first before scheduling so we can make sure enough time is allotted, and I have ready what is needed.

Thanks for taking the time to read this! Looking forward to having you in my chair.

XO, Val
