- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5informative at best.
fyi: her encounter with Rodolfo Valentin took place some 14 years ago; checking the reviews the salon has gotten since 2010, I can only surmise she may have been bribed as they are all quite horrific, showing Valentin as a fraud and scammer.
the writing is standard pseudo witty, glib fashionspeak, as I said, giving out useful info on each subject, but even so, it was written years ago and some things have changed.
