A little after and before magic for my new guest! It had been over a year and her before picture is what she sent me when I asked for a current pic of her hair. We both loved the finished look! . . #boltsalon #beforeandafterhair #bringingsexyback #blondehair #longbeach #longbeachhairstylist #longbeachhair #562 #eastvillage #eastartsdistrict #dtlb #goodhair #valerieponzi

Hello everyone, in case you don’t know who I am, I am Valerie, (in case you don’t know what I look like). Creator of BOLT and the content you see on my IG. I know this has been a crazy year for all of us, me included. This year my salon has gone through some major changes due to Covid. I am now working solo at the salon to accommodate my clients and have more control of my environment. I want everyone to know I am doing my best and trying to keep my salon a safe place. ... I want to thank all of my clients, family and friends for supporting both myself and my business through this difficult year. I also wanted to let you all know I am not going anywhere. I am trying to accommodate all the request to get in but I may not be able to see you until next year. I wanted to wish you all a safe and healthy end of year/holiday season. Even through all of this I can’t wait to see you all and take care of you! Sending so much light and love to everyone for the rest of 2020 and on. See more

First session down on a new guest wanting to achieve a lighter look. It’s all a process especially with already compromised hair. I always use @olaplex . . #boltsalon #goodhair #beforeandafterhair #longbeach #longbeachsalon #longbeachhairstylist #olaplex #redkenshadeseq #562 #dtlb #eastvillage #eastvillageartsdistrict #valerieponzi

Took this platinum blonde beauty back to her roots and gave her a more natural blonde for a softer grown out, healthier hair and more shine! . . #boltsalon #byebyeplatinum #newblonde #healthierhair #moreshine #goodhair #balayage #longbeach #longbeachsalon #longbeachstylist #longbeachhair #562 #lb #dtlb #eastartsvillage #eastvillage #eastvillagelb #valerieponzi

Another before and after on my beautiful guest @reddjp. She always trust me with hair so I lightened and brightened her up while removing over 6 inches in length! Let’s just say she felt lighter for sure! . . . #boltsalon #bolt #longbeach #longbeachhairstylist #562 #longbeachsalon #goodhair #beforeandafterhair #naturalauburnhair #longtoshorthair #thickhair #longbeachlocal #hairinspo #valerieponzi

GOODBYE @arianafrancescaaa Today is a very sad today. Beside having to close down I am also having to say goodbye to my friend and work wife . She has found a new home in Idaho and I couldn’t be happier for her but so sad to see her go! Ariana you brought so much light and happiness to me and BOLT salon and every client that walked through our doors. You are loved and going to be missed.

Sometimes you just kick yourself for not taking a before! A brand new balayage and toner to get rid of A LOT of excess warmth and brass. It’s so nice to be back in the salon!
