Valerie Walls
I'm a little bit hippy and a little bit rock n roll with a wanderlust spirit. I think of life as one big crazy adventure, with so much to learn and explore. I am often quiet and introspective, but get me talking about travel and the world and I could talk for days. I love the quote "If your not part of the solution, you are part of the problem". I want to leave the world a better place than I found it (and your hair too)
I've been a hairstylist in Collinsville IL, for over 20 years.
I truly believe if you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life, and I love what I do!
I enjoy being a cosmetologist and I take my career very seriously. I have had the pleasure of working in many different roles within this industry, which has given me the opportunity to learn so much. Education is high on my list of favorite things, so with me as your stylist you will get an education as well as a beautiful look. No there is not a test at the end :)
I have been a regional educator for some wonderful brands, and had some amazing opportunities to work on video, runway and photoshoots. Still my heart lives in the salon, behind the chair, connecting with my guests and making sure you leave looking and feeling your very best.
My areas of expertise are in grey coverage and lived in highlights. I love color and make sure I stay current in all haircut and color trends. Classic, current and edgy styles are all I place I like to live. Vidal Sassoon straight lines, yes. Razor cuts, yes. Vivid colors, yes. And everything in between.
On Saturdays I love being apart of your special event preparations. You can usually find me doing airbrush makeup or sculpting beautiful formal styles, either in salon or on location. Weddings, proms, birthday night out, if you've got places to go I've got you covered! I love to see all the wonderful event venues we have in the St. Louis area, so if you need someone to travel to you and help you get ready for your event, I would be happy to.
Lastly as a long haired, hairy girl myself I enjoy seeing other peoples long hair dreams and smooth body visions come true. Yes, that means I offer both hair extension and body waxing services.
Cut, Color, Style, Makeup, Extensions, and Body Waxing is what I do.
If these sound like services you need please follow my booking links, I would love to meet you in person!
Have a beautiful day!
