In 1992 Valerie began her own business, Hair Network because she thought like so many business owners think; I can do this better myself. In particular, what she was most interested in doing was cultivating a client base of like-minded people. Folks who needed a stylist who was compelled to listen carefully to their thoughts regarding their relationship with their hair. Someone who was interested in thinking out of the box or staying within the confines of a clients' comfort zone. A hairdresser who could make suggestions, be creative as well as thoughtful about cutting and coloring hair.
"I have been having my hair done by Val for so many years!! Over the years, I have tried various hair styles, colors, you name it. Val, in her infinite wisdom, would not proceed with most of my styles. Reason being, my hair would not support the type of style I had picked out. She never once let me go with a style that she knew I would not be happy with. Val has always taken the time to find out what I was looking for and didn't just jump in and start cutting! I can't begin to say enough good about Val!! Not only is she a great hair stylist, she is great company and a good friend!" - Elizabeth
