“I had such a great experience here! I got highlights done and I’m genuinely obsessed with how they turned out. The color blends so nicely and looks super natural while still giving my hair so much brightness and dimension. The hairstylist was sooo kind and welcoming, and she really listened to what I wanted and gave me really good hair advice. I left feeling so confident and happy with my hair ? Definitely coming back ☺️“

“I had a wonderful experience here! I have very long hair and decided to have an undercut done, which is a massive change for me. I love it!“

“I can’t say enough good things about my experiences at Valvano. I’ve been a client for 10 years and every time is nothing short of amazing. Felice has been my long time preferred stylist and it’s not hard to understand why - his professionalism and combined passions for quality hair is evident and I’m always impressed by his leadership of his team. Thank you Valvano team for your continued genuine service, it does not go unappreciated.“

“I Love it here!! After getting turned away from different spots, this was a breath of fresh air, not only did i feel safe and welcome, i walked out with a haircut i enjoy :D“

“Nichole did an amazing job with hair I love it so much, she always out does herself every time❤❤❤“

“Amazing experience. I felt heard and respected. Pricing is more than reasonable. I loved the way Jasmine worked with what I wanted while making suggestions using her vast knowledge and experience. Very satisfied, and will definitely be returning.“

“This was my first visit with Ali and it was the most wonderful salon experience I’ve ever had. Ali has set up a very calm and inviting environment, it was the most relaxed and least anxious I’ve felt in a salon and Ali was a light in my day. I walked in having zero idea what I was looking for other than needing a change with my hair, she asked all the right questions, paid attention, explained the steps she would be taking in ways I could understand and not be surprised by something and end up hating it, and gave the most wonderful scalp massage. I left feeling the happiest with my hair that I have in a long time, it was a big chop but my hair feels so soft and is healthy looking again with room for versatility on how I style it. I am so very thankful to have had the experience with her and look forward to going back to her in the future.“

“Katie is amazing!! i’m so lucky to be able to get my hair done by her! she’s always so nice and welcoming and makes the whole experience that much better.“

“Kaitlyn is an amazing hair stylist. She goes above and beyond to make sure each client is treated well and gets the style and coloring they want. Highly recommend this salon.“

“I went in for a colour and haircut today and Hana was so great. Hana took such good care of me as she walked me thru her ideas for the colour and cut recommendations.
Her confidence was pivotal in my experience today. She did such a fabulous job. I’m in love with my hair again. Thank you :)“

“My first time I called I was looking for an appointment to the same day and there was not much time left in the day and they accommodated me and I was not even a regular

The owner is very friendly

It’s a nice atmosphere. It’s warm. They’re seating for people that are waiting.

My second time was again a Kwik off the cuff and she was able to squeeze me in

Great place great people and prices are decent“

“I was in a tight spot, needed to get my hair done for my trip to Vegas. Tim was kind enough to help me out. He did a Fabulous job on my hair...I love the colour and cut! I will be back! Highly recommend this place!“

“My family and I have been coming here for 40+ years. Amazing team and they always do a fantastic job. Highly recommend!“

“I was not someone that would get my nails done regularly but since I started going here and have had Vivi do my nails a few times I think I see why women invest in this type of self care. Vivi does such an amazing job and my nails last 3 weeks without a chip. Today I couldn’t decide on a colour from the samples they gave me. I showed her a photo and she mixed three colours together to give me the perfect shade…identical to the photo. So happy.“

“100/10!!! I LOVED THIS PLACE! SHE WAS SO WELCOMING AND SWEET THE MINUTE WE OPENED THE DOOR! I LOVED IT! MY HAIRCUT LOOKS INCREDIBLE I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!! MY NEW STYLIST FOR LIFE! I LOVE IT! THANK YOU!!!“

“I highly suggest you see Abby for any of your blonde needs. She is extremely talented. She does hair shows and is really meticulous and detailed. She is my new girl since moving from Toronto. If you want that high end salon experience you might be used to from Toronto she delivers if i could give an extra 5 stars i would. Cant wait to come back. My hair is finally actually growing. I wish I could attach a photo but I cant find the option.“

“I have been coming here for years. Karlene is the sweetest, most welcoming, warm person. extremely knowledgeable and patient. The hair is top quality and prices are affordable. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. As a stylist of 12 years and someone whose been wearing extensions for 20+ years this place will always be my go to for clip ins and tape ins.“

“I’ve been coming to La Chioma Salon for 11 years, (Shhh! I’m in my 40’s) and I can honestly say I’ve never looked better. Christina is nothing short of extraordinary — her talent with colour placement, precision cutting, and styling is unmatched. She has an incredible eye for detail and a true artistry that transforms hair in a way that feels both effortless and stunning. She listens carefully to what you want, offers professional guidance without ever being pushy, and consistently exceeds expectations. Every time I leave, I feel like my hair has been completely elevated.

I would especially recommend La Chioma for anyone with long or very long hair. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to let someone near it with scissors, but Christina and the team completely understand that fear. They are patient, attentive, and genuinely committed to giving you the look you’ve been dreaming of — and Christina does it with such skill and confidence that you feel completely safe in her hands.

Having visited salons in three different countries and major cities, I can say without hesitation that La Chioma provides the best service I’ve ever experienced. The quality, consistency, and care here are unmatched. My hair always looks incredible, and maintaining that level of excellence for over a decade is truly impressive.

Beyond the hair, the salon itself is warm, inclusive, and fun. The team is welcoming and genuinely enjoyable to be around, which makes every appointment a pleasure. La Chioma isn’t just a salon — it’s a place where artistry, professionalism, and friendliness come together perfectly, and a team of talented women is at the heart of it all.“
