Valerium Salon

Sep 05, 2024

I got a wax a few years ago before my wedding with Doreen Klippel. I thought she could have been a little nicer but she did a great job. I was late to my first appointment but she was accommodating and went out of her way to reschedule to a time that worked for me.

My daughters, my mother in law, and my wife all get their hair cut here by Jennifer. They are always happy with the results. She does a great job with cuts, color, and highlights.

I have been coming to Valerium salon for a few years now. Every woman knows how hard it is to find a good stylist, especially in Portland these days. Valerium is a veteran and probably the best in the business due to his experience and professionalism. He is worth the money, not only because he will give you the exact cut/color you asked for, but also because he is such a sweetheart to talk to and it feels like he genuinely cares. I love it when he gives me tips on how to style my new cut since I'm inept at doing my own hair! No other stylist has ever taught me hair tricks, so I appreciate it! Thank you Valerium!

As a stylist I sometimes need to find other salon that carry products that I am out of. Lavi and see the phone today. I told her my client is looking for Brazilian #3 before she left at 6 am on her flight to NY and that I was still working on her hair past 6pm which Valerium was closing 6pm. She took my information and text me back that she could drop it off since I am located in NE. I told her I would put in a traveling fee for her generosity. This is true professional service and helping another salon make a win with my client. Thank you Lavi! She’s an asset to Valerium Salon!

Best hair dresser and stylist in town. Shop is also top notch.

Dorene was completely unprofessional and rude. She told me that she would not be able to wax me because I’m pregnant. When I scheduled the appointment I told the receptionist that I would be using a Groupon and that I’m pregnant. Dorene said she charges more for pregnant people and that it would be too difficult for her. She said she would need more time. She made me feel incredibly uncomfortable and I walked out without having the service completed. Just 6 weeks prior I had been waxed by somebody else (still very pregnant at the time) with no issues so this was completely Dorene’s fault. Do not go to her.

Both my husband and I loved working with Valerium. He was so professional and engaging. He not only gave us both beautiful cuts and styles but also worked to make sure we felt confident knowing how to style our new look after leaving. His experience and talent set him apart, highly recommend!

Fabulous service. Very safe, and clean!

Valerium is cononnsummate professional who provides exceptional color, cut style services. I have always loved my hair when he is done and I have an exceptionally high bar. I recommend him to anyone but as a woman with curly corse hair I know how scary getting your hair done can be. He's AMAZING!

Feb 05, 2021

Valerium really knows what he's doing. My hair isn't curly or straight and have had a harm time getting hair cuts. Never have to worry with him behind the scissors and a master with dye as well. All the staff is extremely friendly and respectful.

Absolutely terrible experience with Dorene. If I could give no stars I would. To start off with she was rude. During the appointment I was taken aback several times by her negative attitude towards me. And then the wax...not only did she miss several spots but it was extremely painful. At the end of the appointment she put on an ointment and instructed me to leave it on all day. However, on the drive home it began to sting terribly. When I got home I discovered the reason for the pain. She had taken off a layer of skin in 3 different spots!! I have gotten waxed several times and this has never happened. It hurts to do pretty much anything...I have no idea how long this will take to heal. I am beyond livid.

An excellent salon with very talented stylists.

Dorene put me at ease and really "got in there" to get the job done well. I am a newly loyal client from now on! So fast and such a nice person!

Feb 05, 2020

Dorene was super sweet and made me feel so relaxed. Will definitely be going back to her for my waxing needs.

I have been seeing Valerium since 2011. He always does such a great job and always I receive so many complements. If I felt comfortable having my picture taken I would post the results. He is awesome.
