ADEM

Director-Senior Stylist

I’m the team leader at Valentino’s Hair Design and I lead by example.

I am humorous and love interacting with people. My wife Cilla and I own and operate Valentino’s. I have been in the industry for almost forty years and I’m still as passionate about hairdressing as when I started at sixteen years old.

My motto has always been – take the time and do it right. This has stood me in good stead and would like to think that’s why my clients and my staff have all been extremely loyal to me.

I specialize in cutting and I love to see people happy and comfortable about themselves when they leave the salon.

GLEN 

Senior Stylist

I have been in the industry for almost thirty years.

I originally trained at Valentino’s Hair Design at the age of nineteen.  After completing my training I decided to spread my wings and widen my experiences for a few years and worked elsewhere. Now that i have returned I love working back at Valentino’s, with Adem and the team.

I specialise in cutting, styling and colouring and enjoy learning the latest techniques.  I am always enthusiastic and excited creating beautiful bridal hair-ups.

GRACE 

Senior Stylist

Currently Unavailable. Back in August/September.

I am very creative and have a special flare as a hairdresser.

I am fully confident with all aspects of hairdressing. I love colouring and cutting but my strong interest is in the art of Barbering and I really enjoy working on men’s hair. I am soon to attend a barbering course here in Christchurch where I hope to further my skills.

My signature thing is hair tattooing which we show in our gallery. I also love doing hair ups for special occasions.

I am bilingual in Mandarin and English and encourage all Asian, and of course Kiwi clients, to come and see me.

CATHERINE 

Emerging Stylist

I have been fully trained at Valentino’s and I’m now an emerging stylist.

I have pursued my wish to be a hairdresser as long as I can remember. Now I’m loving, fulfilling that dream. I especially enjoy colouring and styling and I am currently working on building a young clientele like                                                          myself.

                                                      I also really enjoy doing hair                                                              ups and braiding.

JESS 

Emerging Stylist 

From a young age I have always had a strong interest in the hair and beauty industry.

I enjoy all aspects of hairdressing but colouring is something I really enjoy and I am currently furthering my skills in it to become another of Valentinos colour specialists.

After doing a beauty course, prior to me working at Valentinos I now specialize in brow and lash tinting, brow waxing and shaping which I do here at Valentino’s.

My cutting skills are also something that the team here at Valentinos, and myself are very proud of.  

For the future I am really looking forward to building my skill set in any way I can and continue working as a part of this amazing team.
