As someone with very curly hair, I've had my share of bad hair experiences. Coupled with frequent…read morerelocations to new cities and countries, this has led to a phobia of seeking out new hairstylists. After recently arriving in Valencia, I'd put off this necessary task far too long, in part because my Spanish is still very shaky. Well, I needn't have worried so. After reading reviews posted here by other Yelpers I decided to visit Desancho Estilistas.

Since that's not just a trim, you really need to go with someone who knows what they're doing for this. I took a chance and decided to trust the yelp reviews, and I'm so happy that I did!

Also, his English is terrific, so there are no worries about communication if your Spanish isn't sufficient to describe the hair you want. Of course, when you go for a cut, that's what really matters, but the salon includes an array of little comforts to make you feel relaxed and at home. Everyone is extremely friendly, even Chloe, the resident pup. I'm in Valencia every summer for a family visit, and I'm so relieved to have found someone I trust with my hair when I'm there!
