Rai Studio

"Sal is just amazing! He made my woman feel so comfortable, well taken care of and on top of the world! He has a clean, nice studio that she just loves and I have no problem waiting for her inside."

"Sal is an expert stylist, always gives me what I ask for with a great attitude and he genuinely cares about his clients. Will continue to get my hair done by him."

"This review is long overdue, however I felt compelled to write this review because of the exceptional experience I had. I am a graduate student and I have a very busy schedule. My natural hair is a dark black color, and I originally had a balayage type blonde hair color. As it grew out, my roots were in stark contrast to the blonde, and I wanted to lighten the top of my hair to match the blonde that I already had. I went to a salon that was recommended by a coworker and I had a very bad experience. I ended up with a muddy brunette color that completely removed the blonde I already had and did not incorporate my roots at all. I was very upset as I was starting school the following week and my hair was ruined. The stylist justified it by telling me that the blonde I wanted could not be achieved in one session, however she never communicated to me that it could not be done previously, and furthermore she did not explain why I was no longer blonde. I was ultimately very frustrated, and I did not trust that salon to attempt to fix my hair. One of my friends recommended Salvador Valles from RAI Studio. I went in with very low expectations as I realized how ruined my hair was and I just wanted it to look presentable at this point. Salvador was extremely warm and welcoming. He listened to me as I explained to him what had happened, and we talked about what my goals were for my hair and what he would be able to do during our session. I immediately felt heard and like I could trust him. It was obvious that Salvador was very knowledgeable and experienced, and he explained to me how he would undertake fixing my hair. I was able to relax and have a good experience knowing that Salvador was going to try his best to fix my hair. I was absolutely blown away by the results. Not only did Salvador fix my hair, but he was able to execute the vision that I had originally had for my hair and for my dark roots to be incorporated with the rest of my hair. I left that day feeling my self-confidence restored. I got so many compliments on my hair, and I would highly recommend Salvador to anyone looking for a professional, caring stylist with a passion for what they do."

"Sal is a amazing! He knew exactly what I wanted and what would look good for me and my hair type in a few minutes! And made the vision come alive seamlessly. Absolutely love my haircut and will be coming back soon!! Thank you sal!"

"I have been seeing Sal for 6 years now and I cannot imagine letting anyone else do my cut, color, style ... ever. I've often thought that if I left Denver I would have to fly back to the city just to see Sal. He is a master of his trade particularly for someone like me with more coarse, difficult hair. He just recently opened his own salon, Rai Studio, and it's fabulous. It's in a great location and has a super fun vibe. Also very clean! Attached is a picture of me on day 5 of a Sal blowout. Can't say more about Sal and his talent."
