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…

I’ve been going to Jhyro for a couple months now and every cut has been the best. He always takes his time and makes sure everything comes out clean exactly how I want it. The vibe is always good and he makes the whole experience comfortable and easy. I definitely recommend getting a haircut from him if you want someone consistent and skilled.

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 usually don’t go to barbers to get my hair done but Nico made my first time a memorable one at Valor. Nico gives great consultations and asks good questions to make sure you get the exact kind of haircut you are looking for. I would definitely recommend Nico to people who are looking for a barber or apprehensive…

Ansley was absolutely wonderful -- warm and bubbly personality and welcoming from the moment I sat in her chair. She's incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain my hair type, my roots, and what kind of cut would give me the most volume, which I've struggled with since my hair is thin and tends to fall…

Prior to @thebarbernico I had gone to the same stylist 2xmonth for 21 years. My cut it a fade 1 guard / top is 2/3 guard. Nico is highly talented and his attention to detail exceeds expectations. I found Nico by asking a guy on street who had a similar cut. So technically, Nico is known in the streets. Over the past…

I’ve been going to get my haircut by Nico for a few years now, and got out of the chair looking sharp and ready to go every time.

Nico is great! He’s not just a barber that knows how to only use clippers but he actually knows how to cut and style hair. It’s been difficult to actually find a good men’s stylist in this area and I’m grateful to have found him. He’s very skilled, personable and truly cares about his clients.
