The last haircut I had before Veronica was probably in 2018 since I'd been scared to let someone try to cut and style my curly hair. So I had started cutting my own hair in quarantine and even tried to poorly cut some curly bangs. Went to Vsquared because I noticed a couple of curly clients trust her, so I did too! I was going for Zendaya's layered curly hairstyle with bangs. She was really observant and listened closely to what I liked about the style. And I think she achieved it pretty well! I'm really happy with how the cut and styling came out. :) so far it is growing out well and my hair looks and feels a lot healthier. Def recommend her if you are antsy about getting your curly hair cut, she has a lot of experience cutting different textures so you are in good hands. :) read more

I was struggling to find a good hair stylist to cut my curly hair on the west side and just by chance I stumbled across Veronica. I couldn't be happier with my haircut! I'm super picky with who touches my hair and can say you can 100% trust Veronica to do an amazing job. My hair has so much more body and volume and even months later has kept a great shape. read more

I'm super happy with how it turned out! read more

Veronica is a hair magician!! Everything was absolutely perfect and I'm so happy with how my hair turned out! I have wavy/curly hair (and a LOT of it). Veronica took her time to really understand and perfect the look I was going for. What I really love is how she takes the grow-out process into consideration so the cut looks great until it's time to come in again. Will definitely be returning! Thank you so much Veronica! read more

I met with Veronica a few months ago and trusted her as the first person to cut my "scary spice" 3c to 4b hair in over 3 years! Has a woman with kinky curly hair, it's been very hard to find someone with skill to know how to cut curly hair but also a person who is knowledgeable on the latest trends. I have her a somewhat impossible task: to give me a cut that work well both straight and curly. I wasn't even sure that this was possible, but Veronica delivered-truly! She took the time to get to know me, understand my lifestyle & ideal aesthetic and cut my hair very carefully. Another important aspect was that she helped me feel confident in my own skin! I felt very relaxed and myself during our session. I highly recommend Veronica to those with kinky curly hair and straight hair alike! read more

Veronica is amaaziiinnnggg! Off the bat, I loved that she asked me questions about my lifestyle, work, and upkeep preferences to figure out a cut that is a good fit. After showing her a bunch of pics for reference (not all the same but she got the idea) she gave the perfect suggestions to get the style that I wanted and that would work with my weird, semi-wavy-sometimes-curly hair. She did not stop until it was perfect for me and even more perfect for her. (Meaning she pays attention to details I could not even pick up on but when she made her adjustments I was like "Aahhh....that's why you did that!") She also gave a ton of pointers for styling that made sense so that she could send me off on my way with confidence I could get my hair to look SOMEWHAT as good as she did Her spot was super private and we were jamming out to 2000's female pop r&b hits. I mean... I am absolutely IN LOVE with my hair and am extremely happy! Thank you so much Veronica! Serious glow up vibes today! read more

I have been indoors for almost all of 2020, and like many of us, have totally neglected self-care. My hair was dry, overgrown, and shapeless. After the umpteenth time of wearing my hair in a tangled bun, I decided it was time to get a cut. I read Veronica's great reviews and saw that she was observing safety precautions - this was super important for me. Long story short, she hooked me up. The lather and wash with cool water was just what my neglected scalp needed. Veronica took so much time to talk with me about my hair, how I style it, what I envisioned. She totally worked with my natural texture and cut some of it while wet and the rest while dry. Beautiful shape. Smooth blowout. I feel like a new woman! After my experience with her today, she 100% has my loyalty. I'm coming back to her. She has a gift and is such a kind person. Oh - and you definitely want a Virgo cutting your hair ;) read more

Veronica is a curl queen!!! Not only was she super knowledgeable and did an excellent job on my hair (cut and color) but she walked me through the best ways to maximize my curls and how to keep them healthy and acting right. Curly hair can be so difficult to maneuver and understand so it was a breath of fresh air to find someone who was not only affordable but also knew exactly what to do with my curls. I've never had a go-to person for my hair but now I do. read more

Veronica is the only person I trust with my hair. I have really curly hair and the couple times I have gone to someone else, I have regretted it. Curly hair is not easy to cut, but Veronica seems to have no problem with it at all. Not the mention the setting of her Salon. Very casual and inviting. Relax with a cup of coffee or glass of wine while she works her magic! Also it's dog friendly. read more

Sadly, although I have had every hair color imaginable and cut, I had been doing my own hair for a while, from (don't hold it against me) a box dye from the drug store! Veronica saw my hair and stated that she could improve the tone and make my roots less noticeable when they grew in...(I am dirty blonde naturally and love this idea, since I am lazy).....I went to her beautiful, stylish, oasis of a salon, had an amazing cut and my color done....She totally respected my desire not to lose length while simultaneously making my hair look gorgeous and stylish instead of the kind of borderline stripper thing I had going on. I can happily say that nearly 2 months later, my roots are coming in and I can barely tell!! I am NOT kidding. She's a master at her craft! The color looks so amazing and natural and my cut still looks great! I cannot thank her enough she's the best! I have had so many different colorists over the years and I have never had one that matched my natural hair color so well! She's a true artist! read more

Veronica is amazing! I've been going to her for 5 years and all of my haircuts never fail to top the last. She is truly gifted for cutting and styling hair. She can cut as conservatively or as edgy as you want and all of her haircuts last for many months and grow out nicely. She has a salon in the back of her home in Culver City and it's very intimate and unpretentious. I constantly get stopped and asked who cuts my hair and I felt it was time to give away my best kept secret to the Yelp Community. read more

This post is way overdue...I got my haircut from Veronica in January 2016 and I am still in awe of my super curly hair. Granted I have been one of those, I want straight hair kind of person until now, I love my curls! Right off the bat, I knew Veronica was going to be a good fit, our phone conversation left me wanting to get in right away. A few days later I was in her chair and she worked her MAGIC. Having curly hair my whole life, I knew the drill, co-wash, , tee-shirt dry, defuse BUT why didn't anyone tell me how to put products on my hair!! How did I miss that, I just assumed you grab your hair product after washing and put it on and done. NOPE, I had it all wrong!!! Veronica taught me the true way to apply products in my hair and I have been doing this since then and my hair looks AMAZING!!! Not only did I walk out with a great haircut but I LEARNED so much!!! Veronica takes her time with your hair, I never felt rushed to get in and out, she made sure every curl landed where it needed to land and made sure it was evenly cut with the rest. Thank you Veronica, you are a true gem to the curly hair world! read more

Ok, now granted I didnt get my hair did,lol, from Veronica, but she hooked up my girlfriend Olga.. Yeah i know, I'm Yelping for my girlfriend and so what right I really think her hair cut warranted a special yelp from me.. Now i know i can rave how good her hair looked but i mean damn, my girlfriend looked esquisite. I couldnt stop staring at gf. Now im always staring at my gf because she is so perdy but last friday when I picked her up after work i was like GOD DAMN Babe!!! (my exact words) Her hair never looked better or healthier... Her hair was so curly and had lots of bounce to the ounce..lol.. So needless to say Veronica, you will definitely have a repeat customer in Olga and for all of you 1800 people that have viewed my reviews, check this one out.. Go get your hair did people with Veronica and i promise you wont be disappointed.. So until next time im out like a trout.. read more

Veronica has been cutting my hair for years. She is the only stylist I've ever had where my hair looks so good I get compliments from strangers. No lie. Her salon is private which means you get all of her attention without the cattiness of a larger salon and overlooks a beautiful yard and calming pool. During covid she's proven she doesn't play with her or her client's safety and is diligent with her protocols. Well worth the visit every time. read more

So happy I found Veronica! Hadn't had a haircut in 14 months due to the pandemic. Have worn my hair really short forever and decided to embrace my curls. Needed someone who cuts curly hair and was terrified to go to someone new. But hey, life is all different now so I decided to take the plunge and chose Veronica. And what a great experience! She listened, took her time and made me feel comfortable with having my wild, curly hair cut. She let me know what she was doing the entire way through the cutting. It's so scary seeing my curls on the floor but I knew I was in good hands. I came out with a cute curly cut and good advice how to take care of my curly hair. I'm looking forward to seeing if I can style it myself (LOL). read more

Going to go get my hair cut used to be like going to the dentist for me, that was until I started going to Veronica. My friend recommended that I go to her a about a year and a half ago and I haven't looked back since. I am extremely picky with hairstylists because I have very curly hair and one has to know EXACTLY how to cut it or I turn out looking like a poof ball Well she has the magic touch. I recommend her to everyone I meet. She's fun to be around and can do any hairstyle! read more

Oh, sing the praises! I've been going to Veronica faithfully for nearly a year now. I've worked with many highly skilled stylists, and she is as good as it gets. {It's worth noting that I have challenging hair that is not the easiest to work with.} She does an amazing job "listening" - not just to what you tell her about what you want, but also to what your hair can/will do, and to how you express yourself in the world. Her cuts are sophisticated in a way that lets me style my hair for both professional settings as well as going out. Either way, I feel great walking out of her salon and great about my hair for a long time afterwards. Three cheers! read more

Veronica is hands-down the best stylist I have ever had! She has an excellent eye for detail, her talent with color/highlights is outstanding! She listens to what her clients need and want and is a master at delivering. Veronica stays up with current trends, yet is so inclusive of those who are more traditional. She can do it all. She is the best of the best, you will not be disappointed! read more

Vero is a true gifted hair magician. She's been able to transform my mane time and time again, and never fails to impress. I'm consistently impressed by her skills ranging from her color, cut, styling and conversation. She's extremely modest, approachable and down-to-earth---and really, my not-so-secret beauty weapon. Grateful for each time she dolls me up. read more

Veronica has been my one and only hair guru for 20 years. Once I found her, I couldn't imagine going to anyone else. She is always up on the latest hair trends - from style to hair care. She's very hip herself so I look to her for advice on color and cuts (and often, clothes and shoes). Every time I walk out of the salon, I feel like a new person. Veronica takes her time and does amazing work. It often feels she goes above and beyond what I could ever imagine. My hair is long and straight and Veronica gives me the most stellar cuts and gorgeous, natural-looking highlights. On top of that, she's easy going, funny, loves to put on music, and becomes your instant best friend. I'm always excited to go "hang out" with Vero while she works her magic on me. During the pandemic, she's been extremely careful - her salon is clean and she's taking all the precautions. read more

Veronica gave me a great haircut. It looks very clean yet has a slight worn in feel like i didn't get it cut yesterday. She was super nice, fun to talk to, and gave me topo chico which is my favorite beverage. Overall an awesome experience and I would recommend her to anyone male or female read more

Veronica is "on the cutting edge as a hair dresser". We have hired Veronica on photo-shoots, ad campaigns and fashion shows. Veronica is also my personal makeup and hair stylist. She cut's my husband's hair and colors and cuts my hair for over 2 years. She is excellent in taking a high fashion look into your everyday in life. We are so confident in her skills she directs our looks now. Coloring and Cut is always AMAZING and she makes it look so easy to keep us looking fresh and new every time we step out of her salon. Veronica also is knowledgeable and excellent with makeup artistry. Highly recommended for V salon and also for photo-shoots. read more

I couldn't be happier with my new hairstyle from Veronica! After trying many hairstylists from Manhattan, NY to Beverly Hills, CA I have finally found the best stylist ever! She took her time to learn about my very challenging, crazy, curly hair and made it look better than ever. She gave me an easy to wear, amazing style that everyone compliments me on. Thanks Veronica. I will refer you to everyone I know! You are amazing!!! read more

I've known Veronica for almost a decade now and she never ceases to amaze me. She is a true artist. I am a picky person and especially when it comes to my hair. She knows her color like no one else and the products she uses are always top notch. My hair always feels great and doesn't get damaged like at other salons (and I would know). And no one can beat her at cutting hair. She is a true professional who listens to you but also can see what her clients desire. And spending time with her is always a good time. Trust me, if you want the best cut and color, go to Veronica. read more

Update: Veronica no longer works from home as she did when I did this review. She moved somewhere less convenient for me, and so I no longer see her. But she did give a great cut, so I am keeping my review up. Her color would take a really long time, but I was always happy with results. Old Review: I have been wandering between hair salons since I moved, trying to find a conveniently located hair genius. At last, I've found the talented Veronica! Well, actually Yelp helped me find her... and I got my first cut with her just last week. I left feeling authentically thrilled about my hair. If I were to tell the tale of my hair history, most of the stories would be variations on general satisfaction ("oh, thats nice"), disappointment ("hmm, maybe it will look better after I style it myself"), amusement ("hehe, oh well, hair grows back"), and/or depression ("argg, why does hair take so long to grow back?!?!"). But I left Veronica on a new high ("I LOVE MY HAIR!"). She spent quite a bit of time discussing my needs and putting me at ease in her unique little salon set up (just her solo in the back of a residential home). Plenty of free street parking. The cut and toner ended up costing me more than I wanted to spend on my hair, but I know I really got my money's worth. Bottom line. I definitely recommend. The intimacy of Veronica's set up and the quality of her work leaves you feeling like you've just gotten a highly personalized session with an artist. Five stars for a no-frills, killer cut and color. read more

You can read my old review of Veronica from when she was at Ananda in Venice. Like I said then, she's the bomb hair stylist, especially if you're looking for something edgy and modern. She never makes me look like a suburban mom (which I slowly am becoming)! I didn't really like the vibes at Ananda so I'm really happy she's working from home. It's always a nice hour to spend with her, laughing and getting made beautiful. I don't color yet but my blonde friend has her hair colored regularly by Vero and it always looks amazing. read more

Hey Guys and Girlies...Holidays are coming up and I know you want to look FAB U LOUS...I recently discovered this great stylist, Veronica Validivia, who is amazing in her craft. I've been around for a long time and have been in and out of many salons but haven't found one worth keeping, you know the type that after getting your hair done you look so great that you have no problem going directly to your next gig. My daughter hired Veronica for her wedding and she absolutely showed off her expert professionalism, as we were all amazed at her control and ease of doing all 6 of our hair and makeup. Her range of creativity is absolutely extraordinary. If you want a great hair/makeup experience with someone who is easy to talk to, listens to what YOU want; then I highly recommend you give Veronica a try - she will make you look FAB U LOUS!! read more

Like a few other reviewers, I only trust Veronica with my wavy curly-ish hair. I had terrible hair cuts for years by people who claim to know what to do with curly hair. They were all liars. ;) Veronica was recommended to me five years ago by two friends who also had wavy or curly hair, I never looked back! She pays such detailed attention to the way my hair actually curls and after drying my hair curly at the end, takes a few minutes to snip off a few more pieces to really make sure every curl is falling perfectly. Not your cheap salon cut and style but my cuts grow in well every time. 100% worth it! I'm sad to be moving away from LA, Veronica is just the best. read more

Certainly odd. I called to see the address, to see how long it would take if I go there. Spoke to Veronica, who hung up on me. She said it's a private residence. How could I find it if she won't give the address to a potential customer? As good as it may be, or not, looks like they don't want any business. I left several follow-up messages; if they wanted my business, they'd call back, right? Guess they don't... read more

I can't possibly say enough good things about Veronica's work as a hair stylist! If you are like me and don't always know what you want, but know what you don't want, she will know exactly what to give you. I am extremely hard to please when it comes to my hair and Veronica has never failed to surpass my expectations by a long shot. She has a true talent for working with hair and it's individual characteristics. She has always cut my hair so that it is extremely low maintenance and naturally looks styled. Every single time I have gotten an amazing cut and color that even looks great as it is growing out!! I have received so many compliments even from strangers in passing. On top of it all, her salon has a wonderful energy with a very peaceful, inviting feeling to it. read more

Praise the lord for Veronica! She completely transformed my look yesterday and gave me the cutest blonde bob haircut! I've only dyed my hair once before and the stylist at the time was awful: she had no patience and lacked in skill. Not Veronica though, understanding truly what it means to woman to have a make over she made sure I left her studio feeling confident and great about my new look (She also didn't overcharge when things took a little bit longer to get things right, instilling trust that we we're in this together). Veronica is friendly, fun (trust me this is important when you plan on spending a couple of hours with someone) and super talented when it comes to both styling and especially color. When you step into her studio you are definitely in a professional stylists hands--An artist who understands their craft and really cares about the end result. I totally recommend her to all! read more

i love veronica's style as well as her knowledge of what works for me and what's in. she's always managed to keep me from looking like a "mom." i trust her taste and techniques so i usually go in there with just a clean head of hair, open mind and watch V as she gracefully and lovingly free-styles through the process. i always love the way i feel when she is done but the best part of it all are the complements that i get. i guess when someone loves what they do so much the effort never goes unnoticed. can't wait to see her again soon. read more
