General Comments

Rodolfo Valentin may have the requisite foreign accent, but he is not your typical celebrity hair stylist, or designer, as they prefer to be called now.

Rather than apply a signature cut, he instead follows his client's physical and emotional cues to determine a style that flatters not only appearance, but character as well. "I follow trends in fashion and adopt new looks, but most importantly I follow the client's personality," explains the 6-foot-3-inch-tall Argentinian with a preference for long hair and an all-black wardrobe. "We all have our own style - some romantic, some sophisticated. I know how to follow trends, but more importantly, I know how to please the client."

Valentin's Manhattan Private Atelier for Hair on Madison Avenue has soaring ceilings, elaborate crown moldings, and parquet floors. The salon mirrors; the opulence of Valentin's flagship salon and day spa in Cedarhurst, Long Island, which was ranked among the top day spas in the country by American Spa magazine. In both locations, men represent a growing percentage of his clientele. And they are not coming in for only a quick trim. His Pampered Male menu of services lists eyebrow, beard, and moustache trimming and toning, sport manicures and pedicures, plus hair-coloring services. "Today, men take care of their hair exactly like women do, but the men don't publicize it; it's like how women are about having plastic surgery," he says. "The competition in the business world is tremendous today, and everyone wants to look their best. The younger want to look older, the older want to look younger, and the middle-aged want to look fashionable."
