Gel Valenzuela

Hi! For those of you who don’t know me, I go by Gel, here are some fun facts about me! I’m a mom of three handsome boys. I’m a dog mom, ALSO boy dogs. I found my soul mate Eric. I love iced coffee and I have been a hot chip girl since elementary school. I love long hair and I have short girl problems. I love off roading and everything outdoors. I love fashion, it gives me confidence.

You will always see me smiling, laughing, and having a good time! I’d like to say hair has been my latest and greatest obsession, so come see me at Willow so we can create your dream hair and chat about life, or just enjoy good music together. Can’t wait to meet you all!

The Stylist Who Truly Listens!

I can't say enough good things about stylist Gel. She listened--really listened. I don't go to the salon very often, so it is important to find a competent stylist. Gel may be the best I've ever found. 100 stars!

I will follow her wherever she goes!

Hey if you’re looking for a place to get your hair done, THIS IS IT! And GEL is your girl! She listens to exactly what you’re wanting, offers her suggestions as far as hair treatments go and then works her magic! She is also very friendly and super easy to talk to! Not only did my hair look amazing it felt so silky and soft and healthy! I hope she never stops doing what she loves because it shows and I will follow her wherever she goes 😉 Thank you Gel for the amazing experience! Also the salon itself has the cutest aesthetic and everyone is so friendly and welcoming 🫶🏻

The Exact Cut You Have in Mind!

I went to Willow for the first time after not getting my hair cut for almost 2 years. Gel was so sweet and helpful throughout the process. She listened to my wants and concerns and was able to do the exact cut I had in mind. Now my hair is back to looking and feeling healthy again. 10/10 recommendations!

Gel is the best, hands down! Gel does an amazing job with my extension and color services. She always makes sure I’m informed on the processes and products she’s using. I always leave the salon feeling more confident than when I walked in. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Went to Willow salon for the first time last week and the experience was amazing. It was my first time ever getting my hair colored, and they made me feel so comfortable and relaxed.

Bryanna did such an amazing job! She’s so kind, talented, and really took the time to listen to what I wanted (and what I didn’t). My hair turned out even better than I imagined! Everyone at Willow was so welcoming — overall, just a great experience!
