worst salon ever!!!!!!!!! the staff was so pretentious! the extensions cost $5800! hahahahahaha. what a scam. and they have fake reviews all over the internet to sum up here are the main reasons why i recommend staying as far away from this salon as possible. 1. rip-off, accompanied by pretentious privileged attitude. they would say things like 'it's not our fault you can't afford chanel." uhm, i can afford the best designers, nicest toys and exotic holidays but i refuse to give my money to pretentious pricks. also, no legit salon charges $5600 for hair extensions. none. i've done my research. go elsewhere!!! every other salon offers great lengths and socap- all are reputable hair extensions procedures offered for as little as a few hundred up to $1000. it depends on how many strands you want. 2. rodolfo himself seems so untrustworthy. he doesn't speak english and so you can't even communicate with him. his staff barely speaks english. he has weird hair, it's like a poor fabio version of hair and i woudn't trust someone looking like that near my scalp. also, so much plastic surgery!! 3. the negative reviews on yelp seem authentic and really scared me- people's hair broke off!! tape got stuck in their hair!!! for weeks! i do not want to sign up for that. 4. the hair quality was so poor when they showed it to me!! dry, gross, looked like crap. 5. MY HAIR FELL OUT. I AM NOT KIDDING. THEY USE GHETTO TAPE IN EXTENSIONS WHICH THEY CALL 'HAIR INFUSION' BUT REALLY IT IS JUST TAPE IN EXTENSIONS!!! 6. fake reviews- just read them. they are clearly fake. they are all written in broken english. if you are going to do fake reviews, at least hire an editor! hahaha. foolish! 6. fake awards- i have yet to see any award cited from a real source. come on. we're not dumb. there is no such thing as 'the best salon ever'... do yourself a favor, go elsewhere!!!! this salon seems to be the biggest scam ever. my advice? find a reputable salon or stylist and ask to see before and after pictures! ask to speak on the phone to a former client to get an honest review! and discuss price beforehand. if you pay more than $1000 total, you are getting ripped off. research great lengths and socap - i've been happy with both of those and there are so many others- cinderella hair, etc. just do your research and spend your money on a reputable place. good luck! NOTE TO SALON OWNERS: PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH YOUR SALON. IT LOOKS BAD WHEN YOU CALL HONEST REVIEWERS LIARS. ACCEPT THE REALITY THAT YOU OFFER CRAPPY HAIR EXTENSIONS AND OVERCHARGE THE CRAP OUT OF NAIVE PEOPLE. IT IS SO WRONG. YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES WITH YOU AND THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING! - CRAPPY EXTENSIONS, POOR HAIR QUALITY - OVERPRICED AT $5800!! - LIES ABOUT TYPE OF EXTENSIONS- ITS JUST STICKY TAPE IN EXTENSIONS - PRETENTIOUS ATTITUDE AND WORST- IF YOU GUYS HAVE TO KEEP POSTING ALL THESE FAKE POSITIVE REVIEWS, YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS SO SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH YOUR BUSINESS. DENIAL MUCH? read more

After Jennifer Aniston got her hair damaged because of hair extensions that have caused her hair loss, I was very terrified about getting them! I am a model and my agency insisted for me to have long hair. I considered a wig but my agent says NO, it will show in the pictures. I only have 3 months left and my hair never will grow as long as they needed. I was desperate searching about hair extensions, but all I found was bad results. I thought to myself, I put hair extensions and then my hair falls with it as it is happening to most people, I will have to spend a lot of money to heal it afterwards. I did not have a choice. Either I get hair extensions or other models that already have long hair will get the campaign. I decided to take my chances and go for the hair extensions. With so many choices, I picked Rodolfo Valentin. I considered them after reading that they have more than 35 years' experience on it. Also I got recommendations for other female models. Many of them are wearing their hair extensions for a long time without any problem. I got them a month ago, I did the campaign, my agent is very happy but I cannot remove the extensions because more offers are coming in with my long hair. My experience with Rodolfo Valentin's hair extensions? I can say that they are very good. I don't have any discomfort other than knowing that I have something foreign in my head. Probably for us, it is much easier to wear them because women assume that to be beautiful can be very painful. They are not painful at all, but it requires care. I take good care of it, I follow exactly what they told me to do. I don't wash my hair myself; I go to the salon twice a week and in the first month I only lost two of them, but only the extension, the state of my natural hair is good as it always was. I did not get any damage, I don't think I will, they feel very safe as everybody else says. They also replaced the two pieces I have lost at no charge. At this point, I think these are very safe hair extensions for anyone who needs to have long hair or more volume like me. I paid 2800 dollars which is not bad at all. read more

I got extensions a few weeks ago and they are already falling out! My hair looks horrible! I cant believe I paid thousands of dollars for this! What a scam! I got extensions here and not only were they overpriced.... thousands of dollars... but they fell out within 3 weeks. I've lost half a head of extensions and I've been taking care of them, using all the right products, brushing the hair, being gentle etc. This tells me it's an inferior product. Furthermore, after they fell out, there was residual tape/glue in my hair, from the extensions. It was all OVER my scalp and hair at the roots and it took over an hour to get out. I used rubbing alcohol and leave in conditioner and paid someone a lot of money to do this for me. Worst part is that I also LOST MY OWN HAIR while taking out the glue!! The hairstylist taking them out laughed because she knew I was taken advantage of. This 'new infusion extensions' they claim to give you, is really just SEAMLESS TAPE IN EXTENSIONS and the hair is cheap, it falls out in 2-3 weeks AND then the tape/glue is STILL in your hair. Look up seamless tape in extensions on google, search google images, and that is exactly what they put in your hair. It's SO DAMAGING. And they claim it lasts 2 months, but mine fell out in 2 weeks, and ruined my hair! I can't believe I got suckered. I'm writing this in the hopes that others don't make the same mistake that I did.... This salon advertises all over Google and uses such generic keywords and has a monopoly on 'extensions' and 'long island hair salon'... so you are bombarded with their ads... but in the end, they ARE HORRIBLE. Don't make my mistake... Do your research, go somewhere else, pay market value (anywhere from $200- $600) and don't RUIN your hair. Mine is still falling out. I'm crying!! Also, I would like to note that I tried leaving a negative review elsewhere, on Citysearch, etc but they deleted it right away. They don't want any negative publicity in order to dupe the public. Thank god for Yelp which has honest reviews! read more

I'm really disgusted by Yelp's choice to remove legitimate reviews. This site is driven by Yelpers and as such our opinions should not be censored on this site. With any luck some of you will see this site, but because of the 1 star rating, Yelp will surely remove the review. Meanwhile, all the 5 star reviews are written in Broken English, eerily similar to the way the owners and staff speak...and all in the same tone shouting outrageous claims such as 'top salon' 'best salon' etc instead of discussing actual details. They are so clearly FAKE reviews posted by the salon yet Yelp keeps them and deletes all the 1 star reviews, which if you read, are clearly legit. Every unhappy customer has said the same thing about the quality of the hair being SO crappy, about the extensions falling out, and WORST of all about the clients hair BREAKING off! Why would Yelp delete those honest reviews? I had the same experience, not to mention paying overpriced fees for what is essentially tape in hair extensions!!! Lousy experience here and now out $5800, with so much hair that broke off!! This is a real, honest review, Yelp. Dear Rodolfo Valentin Salon, How are you guys still open? Your hair extensions are horrible. I don't know any sane person who would pay $5800 for crappy, sub par hair extensions! EDIT: Take a really close look at the 5 star reviews for this place. 100% of them are OBVIOUS fakes. I came back to see if anyone had anything legitimately good to say about this place to convince me to visit again and all I am finding are FAKE 5 star reviews! Note to the owners: If you want to convince people like me to come back and visit again, STOP posting FAKE reviews! I only trust real peoples opinions and not FAKE PR campaigns! read more

I have been everywhere and I must to share my happiness since I move to New York from Italy. I spent four years searching for the right hair salon in New York City. I got very tired having my color in one place, my cut in another, even my blow dry! Until I found Rodolfo Valentin in Madison Avenue, he really works like most Europeans do. He is a one-stop-shop where I get everything I want, best quality: the colors, the haircut, blow-dry and his well trained staff makes you feel very confident, they are multifaceted, you can feel very lucky if you get Rodolfo (probably the reason why his clientele keep him as the best secret of the city to meet him is an experience and his fresh and chic salon where the high society of new York frequent is always immaculate. ( I love the snacks and champagne served in the afternoons...) Rodolfo Valentin: classy guy knows is work up to the detail (handsome...) perfectionist and his Staff is the best trained and pleasant staff. They go out of their way to serve you the best. The atmosphere is friendly and very European. But my hair color is something very sacred to me, specially because I have hair loss problem, and nobody (SPECIFICALLY NOBODY) EVER IN NY DID MY HAIR COLOR AS RODOLFO DID.. With such a care! Now, I GET STOP ANYWHERE I GO, BG; HENRY BANDEL; CHANEL; EVERYBODY ASK ME THE SAME QUESTION; "HOW DOES YOUR HAIRCOLOR"??? read more

Hair is still damaged from crappy, old, fake, damaging, disgusting hair extensions... Essentially scotch tape and fake brittle "hair"... How is Rodolfo Valentin still in business???? Click on filtered reviews and just See/Read how many previous customers had horrible experiences here-ruin I'm talking ripped off and damaged hair. There's no coming back from the damage. Someone should sue him, for the lies- NONE of his "awards" are real. Try looking it up. He made up every single accolade. Disgusting and deceptive and a liar!!! Furthermore, read the positive reviews. Those are so clearly fake and written by Rodolfo Valentin staff... Notice how the English grammar is always off?? That's because none of his employees including Rodolfo speak English. Also the positive reviews are so general, not specific, another indicator they are fake. Do not go here!!!! Unless you want your hair ruined!!! And want to pay $2000 to do it! Rodolfo Valentin is a scam artist... Just read the filtered reviews if you don't believe me. Stay away. Seriously. I wish I never ever came to Rodolfo Valentin- he stole my money ($$$$), ruined my hair forever and he's a liar/not talented/ scam artist!!!! read more

It is all Jessica Simpson responsibility. There is just no way the beautiful pop start would be where she is today if it were not for her hair extensions.Behind closed doors I am jealous of Simpson's extensions and the tremendous interest they acquire, so when I got the opportunity to try Rodolfo Valentin famous trademarked Hair Infusion extensions technique I did not vacillate. In 45 minutes,versus the eight hours that other hair extensions usually takes,he attached more than three dozen strips of real hair to my own hair. By the end I have a head of hair even Victoria Beckham would be pleased to toss around for a while. Unlike other hair extensions, mine are eco-friendly,meaning I can reuse them at the bargain price of $500. saving thousands of dollars.The master of masters hair designers Rodolfo Valentin enthusiastically told me that I will love them forever.. He was right. As soon as I left his salon, walking back down Madison, I was moving backward and forward my new supermodel tresses over my shoulders with pleasure and noticed many admiring glances. It makes me feel no more envy of Jessica Simpson. read more

I have been to many top NYC salons for hair color, frederic fekkai, john barret, bumble & bumble, Louis Licari, and my color was always just OK. A few weeks ago I stop at Rodolfo Valentin salon for hair color consultation and there was the princess of Morroco and Rodolfo's models. Their hair color were so stunning that I didn't doubt in to make an appoinment. When I went back last week there was Beatriz de savioa ( princess of Italy) also having her hair colored...I actually LOVE my color. I will never go anywhere else!. To top it off, the staff was wonderful, so friendly and my hair actually smelled good post color thanks to Rodolfo Valentin new hair care line MAGNIFICENT!!. The salon is luxurious and entertaining with fashion hair shows and the panomaric view of the chic Madison Avenue. It is spacious and comfortabel. Of course the price is pretty steep...but affordable and well worth it. I am not like most of my friends, I like to share my beauty secrets. I will highly recommend Rodolfo Valentin to everyone looking for the best to look the best. read more

I am so upset. Went to visit Rodolfo. During the consult, he convinced me that a technique using scotch tape, which he calls hair infusion, would cover my bald spot. I was desperate, and didn't know better. I paid $3000 plus, for something that attached scotch tape to my bald spot with hair attached to it. Within days, half fell off. When I went to another salon to see what they could do, the person I meet with could hardly stop laughing when they saw what type of hair system I bought. I was so embarrassed, I could not stop crying. I am on a budget, and could barely afford the money for this so called hair loss system, I had no money left to get another system. Right now I am wearing a wig, until I can afford to get something better. This salon is a huge scam that writes its own reviews. They all sound so fake, I am upset I fell for it. Who uses scotch tape for hair loss? I only have myself to blame. I should have known better. I was fooled by all of the fake reviews on other sites. read more

I was craving for having a good hair color. It was the first appointment I did when visiting New York two weeks ago. My consultation with Rodolfo was a success because he made me feel that I was in the right place. He listening to what I wanted which is very important to me. After twenty minutes of chatting with him I told him to feel free and to do anything he feels I may need. And he did! It was the best hair color I have ever had or at least it was the one I have always wanted. Rodolfo didn't the job; he assigned it to a lady of name Pia, in his worlds the best hair colorist in New York. I agree it is great. Back home everybody is asking me how did my color. At home it will cost me around 400 euros which are around 500 dollars, exactly what I paid for a single process and highlights at Rodolfo. Thanks to business reasons I must go back to New York at least 4 times a year so I do not worry about maintenance. read more

Frustrated with my thinning a hair problem and tired of visiting salons without finding any real hair solution I decided to go to Rodolfo. At first I was afraid of their prices thinking that it was going to be a very expensive proposition, but after I spent almost one hour with Rodolfo I was fascinated for his knowledge about hair. I ended up ordering a custom top hair piece that cost me 1800 (no bad at all for the quality) and it was combined with one set of their hair infusion 2800- after two month using these two products combined I must say that I am extremely happy. My only concern is when I am traveling because nobody else knows how to handle these products. OK for me as long as I am in New York. read more

Rodolfo Valentin forever changed, not only my life, but also that of my whole family. I approached him for his career and prestige, and in endless talks where agreed to meet every one of my orders, I learned unmatched work with wigs for people suffering from cancer . In those days (last summer), my mom was starting a terrible chemotherapy, and Rodolfo managed, with his unique talent, no one in between. Today, having overcome the obstacle happily; I do not know if we could have overcome the so aggressive therapy without containment and the Rodolfo´s exquisite work, reproduced perfectly my mom 's hair . Eternally grateful to him! read more

I started with a small stain on the hair, then widened, expanding to the rest of my head. I turned to doctors and none could give me a definitive treatment. Through Amanda, a co-worker, I turned to Rodolfo Valentin for the sole purpose of wearing a wig, because I thought that the fall of my hair was already unstoppable. I was surprised from the first moment we met; because he smiled and told me he could give me a wig, but I remember your words: " leave in my hands the situation... you don´t need a wig" then I started an intensive treatment with him, that ended in the ultimate recovery of my hair! He´s a Wizard! read more

Every review I ever read on this place is 100% fake. They don't have a legit review anywhere on the internet. People are also very pushy. I was so pressured to buy extensions. One lady told me that it is normal, because the rent is so high! read more

Save your time and money- go to a professional who can show you real before and after pics and who can give you names of satisfied clients that u can call!

I have had many hair pieces over the past 30 years and Rodolfo's hair piece is by far the best. One cannot tell that it is a hair piece as it blends in without seeing a separation. It is light weight, needs no combing and is good as the movie stares use in their movies. I could not be happier and anyone who is afraid of having a piece that looks like one will not need to worry with Rodolfo's hair pieces. Barry read more
