Val
Artistic Director | Level 6 Stylist | Co-founder
Meet the “Va” in VaZa Salon—Val, the Co-Founder & Artistic Director, whose journey, fueled by passion and creativity, led her to establish VaZa Salon alongside her sister, Zamira.
Val’s love for curly hair blossomed during her time at Devachan in SoHo, laying the foundation for a remarkable career. With a relentless pursuit of excellence, she immersed herself in extensive training in hair cutting, coloring, and styling. Today, Val’s expertise shines in balayage highlights, curly hair cutting and coloring, blondes, and grey blending. She’s not only a master of established techniques but has also created her own unique methods for both color and cutting, bringing a fresh, personalized approach to each client.
For Val, every guest at VaZa Salon deserves a uniquely tailored experience that considers their hair texture, head shape, growth pattern, and lifestyle. Her goal is to create a haven where each visit feels positive, empowering, and something to look forward to. The warm, inviting atmosphere at the salon is a testament to Val and Zamira’s commitment to helping each guest feel their absolute best.
Val’s dedication doesn’t stop at her clients; she is deeply invested in the growth of her team. The Master Associate Program, crafted by Val and Zamira based on Val’s innovative techniques, ensures that every stylist receives comprehensive training. Val mentors her associates closely, seeing them as an extension of herself and her values, and is proud to shape the future of stylists at VaZa Salon.
Outside the salon, Val is a proud mother of three and cherishes her role as a mom. She adores spending time with her family, juggling the beautiful chaos of motherhood with her career. Her heart is full when she’s with her loved ones, and she feels that being a mom brings out the best in her, both personally and professionally. Val’s joy for life, love for her family, and commitment to her craft define her every day, and she brings that heartfelt dedication to everyone who walks through the doors of VaZa Salon.
