I always feel so sophisticated and special when Valeska cuts my hair. Valeska first cut my hair over a year ago and until she got her hands on my hair, I had never received so many compliments or inquiries into who cut my hair. Look no further - Valeska is an amazing find! My only fear is that she will soon become so popular it will be hard to get an appointment, but that is a cross I'm willing to bear since it means more people with gorgeous hair walking around DC!

Finding a color expert is no small feat. I’ve been searching for 4 years in the DC area and am happy to say that Valeska is a godsend. Her expertise is a blessing to any blond looking to have fabulous hair. She is a 10 plus! I am excited to be able to have her help me get my hair back to healthy and the right color. Thank You!
