Vivian Vallone

What inspired you to become a colorist? I believe hair color is an extension of personal style—an ever-evolving reflection of fashion, mood, and self-expression. Color trends, makeup, and wardrobe should work harmoniously to elevate the most radiant version of you.

How do you stay up-to-date with the latest hair color trends and techniques? I’ve been immersed in the hair industry since 2009, building a career rooted in both passion and precision. My training spans the country, with advanced education in color theory, cutting, and styling techniques from some of the industry’s most respected artists. I’m committed to lifelong learning—constantly refining my craft through classes, tutorials, and ongoing education. In addition to staying current, I have shared my knowledge by educating in salons across the country, teaching my personal techniques and creative approach to color.

What advice do you have for your clients to maintain their hair color between salon visits? I view hair the way one might view a luxury vehicle—an investment in yourself. I guide my clients through a maintenance plan that protects their color, integrity, and confidence between visits. Just as you wouldn’t fuel a Bentley with standard gas, premium hair deserves premium care. I emphasize pre-booking, proper home care, high-quality products, and regular trims to maintain excellence.

What is the most rewarding part of being a colorist? The most rewarding part of my work is seeing the shift in someone’s energy when they leave my chair feeling more aligned, confident, and empowered.

What role do you believe hair color plays in a person's overall style and confidence? Color should never wear you. It should illuminate you. My artistry lies in creating harmony between who you are and how you present to the world. My philosophy is simple: enhance what’s natural, refine what’s beautiful, and reveal the most confident version of you. Confidence is the ultimate accessory. My mission is to enhance the natural beauty of every client, helping them feel powerful, seen, and authentically themselves.

What is your favorite hobby outside of work? Outside the salon, I’m a devoted wife and mother of three, including a child with special needs. My family is my foundation, and our love for community, travel, and meaningful connection shapes everything I do.
