Privyet!

My name is Valentin Ivan Boutym!

pronounced Val-in-teen Ee-vahn Boo-teem

Growing up Russian/Ukrainian in the US, embracing different cultures has been something that I hold dear to my heart. I was blessed to have been embraced by the southeast Asian community where I learned even more about how beautiful and uniquely different we are yet so similar. Having been a competitive gymnast and power tumbler since I could walk, structure and discipline have paved the way for me to prioritize overall balance through meditation, eating clean, and grounding myself in nature.

My love for hair started in kindergarten when I became fascinated with the different ways in which people expressed themselves through their hair. The way most of us feel about ourselves with how our hair makes or breaks our confidence was something I deeply wanted to figure out. That was the moment I realized I came to this planet to help myself and others express our unique authenticity with hair, art, and music.

I specialize in lived-in color, balayage, color melts, ombres, vivid colors, gray blending, specialty cuts and fades. I also offer Brazilian Blowout, K18 treatments, and olaplex treatments. But I will say, I am not one to shy away from a challenge and am always willing to learn and grow alongside you in order to create a masterpiece. I follow my intuition with each and every client for a very personal look and experience. My love and passion for hair speaks in the work that I create.

One of my biggest passions is reminding myself and others to obtain inner peace, embrace infinite love, and see the beauty that lies within us all.

Let's push the envelope together to create a look that can only be created uniquely to you.

That being said,

Much love to you all and I look forward to hosting you here at Valentin's
