About my guest:
Valentino Valentini is the visionary owner of Valentino Beauty Salon, an iconic establishment that holds the honor of being the longest-standing salon in Kensington with a remarkable 72-year legacy. At the tender age of 23, Valentino's entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish his salon on 1 Thackeray Street. His insatiable curiosity and creative acumen, coupled with a profound understanding of geometry and color theory, have given rise to innovative techniques that are unparalleled in the capital. Today, the open-razor cut experience at Valentino's salon draws clients from all corners of Europe and beyond. In an era marked by trend-chasing during the 80s, Valentino's frustration with one-size-fits-all styles spurred him to champion individuality. He firmly believed that every person should receive a tailored approach, accounting for not just facial structure and hair type but also their personality and lifestyle. Over the past 37 years, 1 Thackeray Street has evolved into the home of 'The Art of Presence,' a concept that encompasses a comprehensive array of products and services dedicated to enhancing the pinnacle of hair, beauty, and well-being.
