I had heard a lot about Rodolfo Valentin’s beauty salons NYC. My friends pushed me to take their services once. Last week I stepped into the salon with an old pal just to feel wha...

Last month my husband gave a birthday gift - a haircut and hair color at Rodolfo Valentin salon. I had not done much to my hair for a while, just retouching the roots. I really li...

Rodolfo got my hair since over 20 years! 6/15/2006

I am a customer of Rodolfo Valentin since the day he opened his shop on Long Island. I moved to the city 12 years ago and tried many of the top salons without any satisfaction. My only choice was to make the commute back to Long Island so that I could be happy once again with the style genius of Rodolfo Valentin. After much persuasion I convinced him to open a salon in New York. I see him every week he handles my color, extensions and style and to sum it up he truly has ""golden hands"". I live down in Gramacy Park and I don't mind the ride up to 78th and Madison knowing that I will feel like a million dollars when I leave his salon. His staff is exceptional, friendly informative and knowledgeable. If Rodolfo is on vacation I am secure in knowing one of his trained staff can handle my needs as they are all trained by Rodolfo. Pros: unique color and services for the right price Cons: In 25 years as client I never had a bad experience more

Rodolfo valentin greatest color 6/15/2006

I enjoyed reading the reports on Rodolfo Valentin. I've been seeing him for the past month. I am more than satisfied and grateful for the service I received as well as the georgous color I had since I went to him. I love everything he's done. About the prices??? I firmly believe that the amount I paid is more than just reasonable.. for $565 I got a lot of services - color, highlights, cut and blow - which i believe would cost me twice from other high end salons.Whenever I visit his salon I leave with peace of mind...Finally I found the best salon in New York. Thank you Rodolfo for giving me the hair I've always dreamt of!!!!! Pros: Excellent service superb location reasonable price more

Make sure to clarify multiple time. 6/14/2006

I was very impressed by the actual service that they provided but I was less than impressed with my bill. \r I specifically said that I wanted a newer stylist when I booked because I couldn't afford more, I mentioned that AGAIN when I did the consultation and end result? I got the MOST expensive, Senior Stylist they had. I was quoted Mid-100's.... I left having paid almost $500. I will not be going back despite a great coloring. Pros: Nice Salon, Good Location Cons: Communication is missing more

Rodolfo has blessed hands 6/11/2006

Rodolfo is probably the only conscious hairdresser in the city. He gave me my hair back previously burnt by others inexpert (and very expensive) so-called hair colorists from very famous salons. Rodolfo took me into his exclusive hair infusion. I got again the length and volume previously lost, and thanks to his healthy and safe hair coloring methods, after one year my hair grow up healthier also with a great color. I am writing this review to show my gratitude and recognition for his professionalism and to other disoriented people to find out where really is the place to go Pros: Rodolfo Valentin, blessed hands more

Rodolfo Valentin has a great talent 6/11/2006

I definitely agree with all these testimonials about Rodolfo. He really is the best for hair extensions in New York (also for color, he saved my very damaged hair by a famous colorist!)His exclusive extensions systems that he calls infusion are the best. I found him while surfing this website. I was so fascinated by the great testimonials about him in this site that I made an appointment for consultation, and it was the best thing I did in my life, my hair never was healthy and gorgeous like now! Citysearch congratulations your postings are very accurate. Pros: great talent, great service, great prices ( more for less) more

FROM 1 TO 10 RODOLFO'S CUT IS 12 6/6/2006

Rodolfo Valentin is without any doubt the supreme hair cutter in the city. Thanks to him I got back again the glamour and charm previously given away in the hands of other famous (and very expensive= 350/400 dollars) hairdressers. Now, thanks to Rodolfo I can just wash and wear, and at the half of the price!, worth every penny!!. I also noticed a lot of people getting highlights extremely happy with the results!. Next, I will try my color there. Pros: ELEGANT AND RELAXING "SPA" LIKE ATMOSPHE, VERY OLD WORLD CHIC more

Rodolfo is the best also for guys 6/1/2006

""Rodolfo Valentin may have the requisite foreign accent, but he is not your typical celebrity hair stylist, or designer, as they prefer to be called now"". (This is how the prestigious Robb Report) my favorite magazine started the great editorial about the best hairdresser for guys Ive ever found and the reason why I decided to pay a visit to his Salon. Every word in that article was true. He followed the trends in fashion and gave me a new look keeping my personality untouched. Rodolfo prefers long hair but he also Accepted my preference for shorter style and his artistic hands conferred to my hair a sophisticated look. He really knows how to please a client and if people says that women are difficult, I think men are more hard to please, specially when we want a lot of hair job done without showing! Rodolfo you got me. Pros: great for guys more

Rodolfo Valentin is an unbelievable experience 5/29/2006

I've previously visited Rodolfo Valentin Salon but in sad circumstances...few days ago it was for happy circumstances, and having the hair done at his salon was the perfect complement to the wonderful dinner we have later. We got the best hair extensions in town , cut and color. everything is top at this salon, including the fabulous, caring staff!. Best salon in New York! Cons: gently, classy, sweet heart more

Haircoloring by Rodolfo Valentin the best 5/19/2006

Rodolfo told me that sometimes he gets a new client whose hair color needs correction, and it happens because the technician didnt understand what she wants and fault in recommending what is the right job for her. Like my case, my hair was deeply hurt by very famous colorists that were giving me the wrong color, so it was easy for them to cover the mistake with a dark color and start all over again pulling out highlights already previously bleached, darkened later and getting bleached again! I was obliged to use a lot of heavy conditioner to give my hair a decent silky texture otherwise it was like straw! Rodolfo instead, when it comes to re-touching, only pick up the same pieces of bleached hair and never mix the light ones with the dark ones, he avoids overlapping color and bleaching. He really knows what he is doing! Cons: he knows what you wan, he knows what to do, he knows what's doing more

RODOLFO VALENTIN BEST HAIRCOLOR NEW YORK CITY 5/11/2006

I finally got the color I want from Rodolfo Valentin! It cost me time to find him! Why is nobody saying anything about him? Is everybody afraid that he will get very busy? Many of my friends told me that the most important aspect of getting your colorist to give you the color you want is communication, and I tried that with every colorist in New York City, but it did not work! When the colorist does not know to do better, there is no way to get what you want (and I used most of the so-called BEST). When I walked into Rodolfos Salon at Madison Avenue, I was shaking I immediately relaxed when I realized that we were sharing the same vision, with no room for misinterpretation. Pros: NONE PROS, NONE PROS, NONE PROS Cons: BEST COLOR, BEST HIGHLIGHTS, BEST HAIRCUT more

INFUSIONS ARE THE BEST HAIR EXTENSIONS 3/23/2006

Definitely there are not better hair extensions that the hair infusion technique of Rodolfo. They are lightweight, not heat used to attach them as the most of the systems do avoiding burning my natural hair, and overall my hair is growing healthier I am in showbizs industry and believe me, Ive tried them all and infusions are the best. warning, Ive noticed that many other salons are promoting hair infusions and I asked to Rodolfo about it, he said presently he has not trained or giving the authorization to others to do it, (this is a intellectual property trademarked by Rodolfo) so if you are not careful you can ended up with the old systems burning your own hair. Pros: all, all, all Cons: none, none, none more

Rodolfo my choice by excellence! 2/9/2006

Vogue magazine dictated it: ""the ponytails are the fashion-style for this 2006 spring. I run to my haircolorist Rodolfo Valentin to find the solution for my short hair. Because there is not time for me to let it grow, I consulted with Rodolfo for the fastest way, and it was a custom made ponytail that exactly fits and matches the texture and color of my own hair. IT IS REALLY INCREDIBLE! It goes freely on my head and easy to attach, I just have to pull through my own hair and voila!!!!!!! The good thing is that I can still have my short style when I want it! Pros: excellence, excellence, excellence more

Ponytails of Rodolfo Valentin are the best! 1/27/2006

Rodolfo Valentin Ponytails are the best!, after reading the February issue of Vogue about Ponytails as a fashion style for any time of the day, I realized that I have a problem "" I don't have enough hair to put in a pony"",I rushed to Rodolfo Valentin Salon who happens to be the best colorist and haircut designer in Madison Avenue ( I've been upside down Madison Avenue and I cannot find an equal), but also the best hairpieces maker in the world. In few days, he hand-made a ponytail that is the envious of all my friends, and ""I do not need a rubber band to hold it"" as other hairstylists suggested in the Vogue article...Rodolfo has an unique pony built in a way that my own hair would go through and blend!!!. Everybody thinks it is my own hair!!! Rodolfo, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY A GREAT ARTIST AND CREATOR! Pros: top colorist, top haircut, top Ponytails more

Best in NYC, Rudolpho is an Unparalleled Artist 1/8/2006

Rudolpho saved my hair! I have naturally dark curly hair & took the leap to go blonde but I didn't go to Rudolpho's - my 1st & last mistake! The other salon slathered harsh chemicals all over my hair which turned it white with abrupt dark streaks & dark roots. It felt like dried wheat. I was at Rudolpho's the next day & with his oversight, the colorist took my hair almost piece-by-piece with such precision & care that they turned my head into a gorgeous, silky blonde mane. People comment on how natural my hair looks. My own mother insists I've never looked so good! Rudolpho is there daily to check for any tweaks your hair may need. He takes a personal stake in your hair & commands an amazing team of people who make sure his vision is executed at the highest standard. Rudolpho is an unparalleled ARTIST! Pros: excellent color/cut, great staff, affordable more

Absolutely The Best! 12/19/2005

I met Rodolfo a few years ago and from the first visit I knew I found the experience I was looking for. With ease Rodolfos looked after my every need from start to finish. I am welcomed in to impeccable surroundings, treated like a family member, prepared for a wash (which includes a full head massage one of my favorite things), offered a snack or anything Id like to drink, and of course lead to Rodolfo to perform his magic. Im then rewashed and returned to Rodolfo for styling. Now Im ready to face the world once again looking great and feeling younger. Rodolfo has forever changed my expectation of a haircut experience & I look forward to my next visit each time. I have also visited their flagship store in Cedarhurst Long Island, which features a top rated day spa. I highly recommend Rodolfos for marvelous service and treatment. Pros: Outstanding service, Exquisite quality, Impeccable surroundin more

what about rodolfo great facilities? 12/13/2005

The quality of services offered at Rodolfos are legendary, but nobody reports about the facilities,this is the most hygienic salon in the city! Although that they dont have spa at the Madison Avenue location (they have a Long Island spa voted the four top day spas in USA by American spa) his NY salon feels like you are getting hair services in a great spa: first highlight is the elevator that opens into the salon floor, the sense of privacy is enormous! Like youre coming into a friends home. There is a center table offering complimentary snacks (unbelievable!), the receptionist will help you change into a fresh robe. Their floor attendant will promptly bring to you any beverage you desire and the aromatherapy terry towels in the ladies rooms are abundant. It is a pleasure to spend time there. Rodolfo is a very refined guy with an inarguable sophisticated taste. Pros: great services, great facilities, great location Cons: ?, ?, ? more

BEST HAIR INFUSION, COLOR AND CUT I'VE EVER HAD! 12/13/2005

Two weeks ago I read a comment about Rodolfos infusions on glamour magazine, I have to thanks them for the advise. I got them last week. I have thinning hair and it has helped me a lot, people does not know what it is but they see something different on me. They are thinking that Ive changed my haircut! Now my hair is fuller, I wanted only volume not length (most of Rodolfos clients are looking for length). He also gave me the best haircut I have ever had! and as a bonus Rodolfo used different tones of infusion and the hair color result I got was unvelievable!!!I hope my posting will help others ( fashion and beauty is very important for me). Cheers to Rodolfo! Pros: infusion, color, cut Cons: i didn't find any! more

MULTIDIMENTIONAL REDHEADS AT RODOLFO! 12/5/2005

Rodolfo not only does the job, also spends time explaining to clients what he will do and how.I am a red hair, probably the most difficult color to achieve perfection. Rodolfo explained that he never does just a single process,he hates flaming roots and boring ends. I watched several redheads at his salon,Rodolfos redheads are really a work of art! Hair colorists from most salons in NewYork are always challenged by Reds, but No for Rodolfo!Light reddish people look better with copper, Rodolfo explained that this is why the shade is the most important RV keep saying that a lot of people can wear red, and should be at least three colors incorporated to give the dimension and highlighting.I got 5 dimensional redtones thanks to his Coding Coloring. UNVELIEVABLE GEORGEOUS!!- RODOLFO MY RESPECT FOR YOUR SKILLS IS INFINETLY HIGH!/, you are elegant and classy guy!! Pros: superb color, elegant atmosphere, very classy more

AMAZING!! 12/1/2005

I have found a place where true magic is made! As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a smile. From the owner to the assistants, there was not one bad attitude in this salon. I started with the japanese thermal reconditioning. Maritza was a true expert on the treatment and the result was perfectly straight healthy hair. Next was the hair infusion. Rudolfo put the extensions in with the help of 4 assistants and finished in 40 min.! The hair infusion is the most natural looking extension I have ever seen! Rudolfo and his team are true artists that love what they do and that shows through the work they are producing. After you see what they can do, you will not let anyone else touch your hair! more
