Rodolfo Valentin
Premier Hair Stylist & Salon & Spa CEO
Rodolfo Valentin, the owner and principal hair stylist of three luxurious spas and salons -his "Beauty Center, Inc." in Long Island, "Rodolfo Valentin's Atelier for Hair," and the new "Rodolfo Valentin Salon & Spa," in New York City. The tan and six foot tall stylist is more than a hairdresser; he is a hair designer. In the world of coiffeur and design, Valentin is haute couture.
A commitment to excellence and passion for perfection are the hallmarks of Rodolfo's salons. Each offers a unique setting and is designed to ensure comfort and privacy, while pampering his clients in elegant surroundings. The salons offer an extensive menu of services, and Rodolfo himself oversees all of the creative hair services- from styling and color to fitting of his fashionable wigs and hairpieces.
Bringing three decades of experience to his Madison Avenue salon as well as his award-winning Long Island spa, Valentin is the recipient of numerous hair-industry awards and include the BES Hair Coloring Techniques Award in Italy and the prestigious Grand Design Award for Hair Designers.
Born in Buenos Aires, Valentin relocated to Paris to work with renowned stylist Alexandre de Paris and then immigrated to the United States to begin a career of his own. Rodolfo's story epitomizes the American dream. He is known for his impeccable styling, coloring and his hand crafted wigs and extensions made from real hair. He now lives between his New York apartment and his Italian style villa in Long Island.
With his requisite foreign accent, Rodolfo follows his client's physical and emotional cues to determine a style that flatters not only their appearance but character as well. One of Rodolfo's signatures is his patented "Hair Infusion," a technique to add length, color and volume to existing hair and his "Cranial Hair Prostheses" for cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy.
Rodolfo began creating his now famous hairpieces and wigs during his mother Sophia's battle with cancer. Today, one quarter of these beautiful pieces are made for cancer patients and he has a brand new, low cost option available. To raise further awareness, Rodolfo founded the charity "Sofia's Hair for Health," named in memory of his mother who died at the age of 45 of breast cancer.
The program, which provides free customized wigs to cancer patients, is available to low-income Long Island and Queens residents who are battling the disease. Rodolfo also provides a 50% discount to those who bring in proof of a mammogram visit, creating a further incentive towards early detection. [less]
