My experience with Ellie has always been 5/5 stars.
She’s not only great at what she does but is always super friendly and accommodating during each visit. She gives great fades and layers always creating a consistent and effortless cut.
I couldn’t be happier with Ellie as my stylist.
I can't say enough good things about Lexi! I come in every 6-8 weeks for a cut and color, and my hair has truly never looked or felt better. She pays attention to every detail, always gets the color just right, and is such a joy to visit. I have bounced around to different stylists but have been with Lexi now for about 4 years and I highly recommend her!

I followed Lexi to Valor because she does amazing work with color and cut! I’d moved to Vacaville a few years ago and was traveling and/or trying different stylists in the area. I stumbled on Lexi’s IG page (check it out!) and saw the work she’d posted. I did the initial consultation and was instantly impressed by her knowledge and sweet personality!
Lexi remembers details about your hair (and life) and makes every visit so personal and well spent and you know you’ll walk out feeling great about your hair!
I appreciate that she addresses what would/wouldn’t work for your specific hair type (in order to keep the hair integrity healthy). She’s professional and cheerful - it’s always a great visit!

I have always had a wonderful experience with Lexi! She is so patient, a great listener, and goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy with your hair! It doesn’t hurt that everyone in the studio is so friendly and welcoming and it’s such a beautiful space

For years, I went from salon to salon, occasionally got my hair butchered at great clips until I finally found Lexi in 2023. She is incredibly talented & I fully trust her to take care of my hair. I always leave her chair feeling so good & confident that my hair is the best it could ever look.
Not only is she going to take care of your hair, she will take the time to get to know you & make you feel cared for. I’m truly so lucky that something that I once dreaded & felt like a chore has been made better by her.

I always have such a wonderful experience with Lexi. She does my toner and haircut, and I’m always so happy with the results. She is incredibly kind, compassionate, and really takes the time to listen to exactly what you want. I never feel rushed, and the whole experience is always so relaxing and peaceful. I truly enjoy my appointments with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented stylist who genuinely cares about her clients!

I followed Lexi from her previous salon to Valor because she simply is the best! My haircuts always turn out exactly what I want and her coloring makes me look and feel so good! As an indecisive person, she always chooses the best looks for me. You won’t regret making an appointment with her.

I saw Lexi at Valor, she has been doing my hair for over 5 years and she is the best especially when it comes to the lived in blonde look! She can do it all though. Booking is a breeze and time/costs are clearly stated for services. The location is so beautiful, clean, thoughtfully decorated and makes you feel comfy right away. Plenty of parking which is a plus. I drive to Vacaville from Sacramento that is how good she is!!

Kate Drennan2 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Kate has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I’ve been going to Valor to see Lexi for a little over two years, and I couldn’t recommend her more! She is absolutely amazing at what she does. She really listens to what you’re looking for, understands your vision, and does a great job explaining everything if you have any questions.
On top of being incredibly talented, Lexi is so personable and always has the best conversations during appointments. She also has great availability and is very flexible, which makes scheduling so easy.
I typically get my roots done every 5–6 weeks and a haircut every other appointment. She was even able to pinpoint the exact color I had been searching for ever since my previous stylist. My favorite part of my experience is when she does my blow out because I leave loving how my hair is styled.
If you’re looking for someone who is talented, attentive, and genuinely cares about making sure you love your hair, I highly recommend Lexi!
