Valerie Porcara 3683 Voltaire Street, San Diego, CA 92106

"Valerie is a fantastic stylist and artist. I’ve been seeing her for 3 months for a trim every 3/4 weeks and she does not disappoint. I was looking for a stylist that knew what she was doing with men’s hair but also had creative and suitability input. She does a hot towel at the end which is nice (if I don’t have to head right back to work right away). Thanks again Valerie."

"I've been seeing Val for years and she never disappoints. Her highlighting techniques are top-notch, spending time to address your desired look, then hand-painting subtle highlights in a way that looks totally natural. She is talented in finding the right color for your hair while leaning into your requests. She also cut and shaped and layered my thick, wavy hair into a long shag style cut that works with my natural texture instead of fighting it. The layered and textured cut makes my hair naturally dry into waves that look touchably soft and bouncy. I always leave feeling beautiful and confident. Val listens closely to what each client wants and delivers excellent results while making you comfortable and welcome in her salon. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

"Valerie was simply amazing. She was very sweet and listened to my hair needs and executed the vision I had for my new hairstyle. She is a very talented hair technician and I highly recommend her."

"Valerie is awesome. Friendly and wise when we talk, and a badass once the hair starts dropping. A visit with her is fun, relaxing, and refreshing. She always gives my hair the time it deserves and I never feel rushed. She's Vidal Sassoon trained and it shows - I trust her to do whatever she envisions, and every time I leave with a fresh 'do that I love to style. I used to hate my wavy hair and treat it terribly, but she taught me to really embrace and take care of it (yay healthy hair), and it's paid off. Val applies a modern take on classic styles, while also knowing exactly what to do to highlight what makes my hair unique. I can count on cool subtle details, a great look from every angle, and something I have fun styling in the morning. To top it off, I get compliments all the time! (I never, ever, got hair compliments before)"

"I've been going to Valerie to get my hair cut for years! She's the only person I trust to make my hair look good. She got me to embrace a pixie cut when I never thought I could, and then helped me to keep it looking fresh while growing it out. She always knows what will look good with my face shape and my personal style, while still giving me the hair style I want. I enjoy every moment in her salon chair! She's seriously the best!"
