In the heart of downtown Guelph, inside a beautifully restored heritage home, lives a salon experience unlike any other. Valentini’s is more than a boutique hair salon — it is a welcoming, luxury space created by co-owners Derrick Rutherford and Julio Rodriguez, where artistry, education, and transformation come together.

At Valentini’s, guests are offered a full and complete portfolio of expert hair colour, precision cutting, and premium extensions, all supported by the finest luxury haircare products and the highest level of ongoing education — not only for the team, but for every guest who sits in the chair.

With convenient parking for all guests, an inclusive and elevated atmosphere, and a deep commitment to sustainability and community, Valentini’s is built on the values of Experience, Inclusion, Education, and Environment. As an environmentally conscious salon, Derrick and Julio proudly support initiatives that give back locally while shaping the future of hairdressing globally.

Because at Valentini’s, the mission is simple:
“We are here to transform people so they look and feel the best they can be.”
