Rodolfo Valentin is a New York City hairdresser, born June 22, 1956 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The hairstyles used by Rodolfo include hair coloring, healthy hair, a tailored haircut, and the hair infusion.
At a very young age, Rodolfo Valentin was recruited for fashion shows in Europe by hairdresser Alexandre de Paris, known for his work with Grace Kelly, Wallis, The Duchess of Windsor, and Elizabeth Taylor. Back in his native Buenos Aires, Valentin has worked with Argentine celebrities such as Nelida Roca, Maria Concepcion Cesar, Susana Gimenez, Nelida Lobato, Ambar La Fox, Vanessa Show, Graciela Borges, Patricia Dal and the Italian Sophia Loren.
In 1984, Rodolfo immigrated to Long Island, New York where he opened a salon and started to become known through magazines and television shows such as Univision, Banyan Productions,NY1 and Warner Bros.Entertainment.
During the 2000s, Rodolfo expanded as he opened his second salon on Madison Avenue in New York. The press named him as a preeminent New York society hair stylist. Some of his clientele are Claudia Cohen,Ellen Barkin, Dayle Haddon, Cathy Moriarty, Carrie Fisher, Helena Frith Powell, Nina Griscom, John Catsimatidis'wife Margo and the wife of the CEO of Hess Corporation, Susan Hess.

Valentin offers free hair prostheses to cancer patients through his Sofia's Hair 4 Health foundation.
Hair infusion
Hair infusion is a trademarked procedure of Rodolfo Valentin, created to add length, volume and color to the hair. Synthetic or real human hair is used in the hair infusion process. Synthetic hair is much less costly, by using real human hair, the hair infusion color can be changed, and the natural appearance cannot be compared to synthetic hair.
Infusion is also considered a less aggressive hair extension technique, because it avoids the pulling out or breaking down of the person's own hair as it may happen with other traditional methods. Furthermore, hair infusion does not use any metal to be attached, and does not use heat avoiding the burning of hair.
Hair infusion is reusable and it is barely noticeable to the touch. It is also safe for people who may have allergic reactions to chemicals,since hair infusion can add highlighting effects to the person's hair without using artificial substances.
