I couldn't be happier with the service provided by Pauline. She has an incredible eye for detail and really takes the time to understand exactly what you want and makes sure she delivers on that. Not only did she deliver a perfect cut, but she also made the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable! read more

I don't say this lightly -- Elias is a true artist. I walked in with severely damaged, orange-toned hair that felt like straw due to a previous experience, and I walked out with the most seamless, rich, luxurious brunette transformation. The dimension, the shine, and that money piece... absolute perfection. What sets Elias apart is not just skill, but presence. Incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and carrying a humble confidence that instantly puts you at ease. Elias listened to my vision, respected the integrity of my hair, and delivered beyond what I thought was even possible. This was my first visit to the salon, and without hesitation, I can say I've found my forever stylist -- after 8+ years elsewhere. That alone speaks volumes. Elias didn't just transform my hair -- confidence was restored. Hair artists like this are rare. Front row, always. read more

tl;dr: Salon surprised me with a total bill TWICE what I was originally quoted! And they didn't even do a satisfactory job! Disgusted! I booked this appointment for a pick-me-up before my father's funeral, wanting to look good for family and friends. When I called to make he appointment, I was quoted "around $350 for a balayage" (I have a transcript of the call). Given my straight, fine, and short hair (just above the shoulder), this felt pricey, but I accepted the cost, as I had previously had good experiences at this salon. However, I was ultimately billed twice the quoted amount! This was my first time with this specific stylist.* I was charged for both a balayage and a haircut, but the haircut charge was unwarranted. The stylist offered to "quickly and easily" take some weight off the bottom of my hair because it tends to curl up. I accepted, assuming this small adjustment would be complimentary or inexpensive--not $300 for a few lousy snips! After the cuts, my hair still curled up, but I dismissed it as it wasn't the reason for my visit, and I usually wear my hair up anyway. Three hours later, the appointment was finally over and I went to the front to pay. I was SHOCKED to find that the total was TWICE what I was expecting to pay. I broke down, partly from all the stress I was under planning the funeral and partly because $600+ is WAY more than I would have EVER agreed to! I was really mad and someone came out (manager?). They took a few dollars off but it was still nowhere near the original agreed upon price. I told the stylist the most important thing was a natural looking balayage. As you can see in the pictures I took the same day as the appointment, she did a terrible job and the lines are mostly straight down my part with one weird area. It looks like I self-dyed my hair recently and it just started to grow out. It is 2.5 now weeks later and I am still SO mad, I can barley look in the mirror. I hate it! She did a terrible job and got paid good money for it. The appointment finally concluded after three hours, and I proceeded to the front desk to pay. I was absolutely shocked to find that the total cost was double what I had anticipated. I became very emotional, partly due to the stress of planning a funeral and partly because over $600 is significantly more than I would ever have agreed to pay! I was furious, and a staff member (possibly a manager) came out. They offered a small discount, but the price was still nowhere near the original agreed-upon amount. I had specifically told the stylist that achieving a natural-looking balayage was the most important thing. However, as the photos clearly show, the result is terrible with straight, distinct lines. It looks like a poorly executed dye job that is already growing out. Now, two and a half weeks later, I am still so upset that I can barely look in the mirror. I hate it! The stylist did a poor job and was paid handsomely for it. *I am choosing not to name the stylist because, as a gig worker myself, I understand people have bad days. However, I also know that money should be refunded (or billed the actual agreed upon amount!) when the job wasn't done--not just unsatisfactorily, but incorrectly. read more

I booked my appointment online easily and selected any hair specialist. It was my first time at Salon Valentine. Elias, my hairstylist, was very nice and gentle, washing my hair and giving me a scalp massage. I requested a volumizing blowout, and he delivered beautifully. The atmosphere here is peaceful and welcoming. I recommend this place to anyone near Fremont. read more

Had a great experience for a transformative haircut at salon Valenti! I wanted layers in the front, but to keep the back full, and Pauline listened to my wants and executed perfectly! The haircut comes with a wash, and the salon carries the Kerastase line. Pauline recommended using the genesis line for my postpartum hair loss, and did a nice scalp and neck massage while she washed and conditioned my hair. Afterward, her haircut was done with an excellent attention to detail. She was kind, lovely, and professional! She answered all my questions related to hair care and maintenance. The salon gives an upscale vibe in the Mission (NICE) area of Fremont, with snacks and refreshments when you walk in. They also sell Kerastase products with discounts for buying multiple products. I'd definitely come back and book with Pauline or any one of their stylists. read more

Perfect balance of feeling pampered without being pretentious. Anna H. Did an awesome job with bleach partial highlights, perfectly what i wanted which was to be able to color my own hair afterwards.

Returning customer after many years since I was back in the area. This review is for Pauline. She is truly an angel! I called on a whim closer to 4pm. I was searching for salons because I had an event in the following 2 days and needed an emergency revamp. I called and stated i had thicker hair but just needed a trim..we ended up cutting off A LOT because I decided it was time and had a LOT of it. Upon arrival she gave me a tour of the salon and the product lines they offer. when i walked in, took my sweater and actually assessed my hair. She asked me a few questions and made suggestions as well due to my hair texture and what would realistically work. She took me from mid length hair full of split ends to almost a bob. She really took her time and dedicated to making sure i was happy. She explained what she was doing every step of the way & the products so i was comfortable the whole time. My hair came out perfect and im still getting compliments a week later. She was a breath of fresh air and I scheduled my next appointment for highlights with her. Super excited! read more

Highly recommend. Though im sure any of the stylist are great, today Andrea cut my hair and I absolutely loved it. She was great listening to my preferences and applied it before, during, and after. I highly recommend! So hospitable and friendly, comfortable people and place to be all around. Plus, complimentary mimosas and ice coffee! read more

I've been coming to Salon Valenti for a couple years now and my haircuts were always great but I finally took the dive into a more high maintenance look and I have zero regrets! I ended up getting 20in Bellami i-tip extensions in black and some platinum pieces and achieved the look I was aiming for. Stefhanie was awesome to work with, communicated very well, and went over the entire process while answering my many questions regarding the installation and after care. Time flew by in the salon chair and I left feeling so pretty!! With her guidance, I am also able to maintain my extensions at home. I love the vibe of the salon, everyone is so friendly and easy going. Hands down best salon I've ever been to and will keep coming back to see my girl! read more
