Valerie grew up just down the way in Snohomish, Wa and has called Bellingham her home since 2010, the same year she started her career behind the chair. She loves making people happy and has been told that she’s a good listener. Valerie appreciates the wide variety of hair she gets to play with in this job- as she says, it keeps things interesting! She enjoys anything from a basic, clean trim to a drastic change. She has a passion for creating beautiful looks with rainbow colors- mermaid and unicorn hair are a couple of her very favorite services to provide. 

Outside of work, you might spot Valerie roaming in nature while exploring the North Cascades or working on her homestead in Alger. Valerie’s right at home in her garden or in the forest but she also loves listening to music, reading,  cooking, and has a soft spot in her heart for animals.
