VALERIE,
COLORIST
The Subtle Elegance
With a foundation rooted in European elegance, Artisan Valerie brings a refined, continental sensibility to the energy of New York. Her aesthetic is shaped by a lifetime of cultural exposure and travel, informing her unique ability to craft color that truly complements the individual—whether a blonde, brunette, or redhead.
Her craft is a deliberate fusion of art and technique. Specializing in balayage, foil highlighting, and corrective color, she creates versatile looks that are equally suited for the everyday and the extraordinary. This artistic approach is guided by her formal study of Art History at The Fashion Institute of Technology, allowing her to draw inspiration from a rich visual lexicon and the ever-evolving fashion world.
Valerie's technical skill was perfected through dedicated mentorship. At the Marie Robinson Salon, she joined a collective of master colorists and trained under Marie Robinson herself, honing her precision and developing into a top-tier artist.
What defines the experience in Valerie's chair is her genuine warmth and meticulous care. She believes attention to detail is paramount, and her personable nature ensures every client feels uniquely seen. Her ultimate goal is simple: for each person to leave not only looking fabulous but feeling deeply confident and authentically themselves.
