What do you do at Reflektion?

I’m a hairstylist that specializes in haircuts (especially long layered cuts), hair extensions, and lived-in hair color. Another passion of mine is Formal Styling (i.e. Updo’s, Glam Waves, and Blowouts).

How long have you been doing this?

17 years

What’s your approach to beauty?

Much like my personality, I love delivering the absolute MOST! As a Latino, I grew up watching telenovelas since I was little and I was always enamored by the main actresses’ hair. It was always big, sexy, voluminous, just the epitome of glamour. It’s no surprise that as a hairdresser, that is what I love to deliver to my clients. I feel that a woman feels her ABSOLUTE BEST with a head of full, sexy, luscious locks and with that, she feels ready to take on the world without anything or anyone getting in her way!!!

What are you into outside the salon?

Because I always give my absolute ALL behind the chair, what fills my cup outside of the salon tends to be more relaxed and chill. I ABSOLUTELY ADORE GOING TO THE MOVIES, especially Horror. You can expect to bury me in a movie theater when I die. I love to try new restaurants, with Mexican, Italian, and Asian food being my favorite. I also love to hang out by the lakefront with my lawn chair, some headphones, and an iced coffee in hand. I do my best reflecting in front of the water under the Sun. Every now and again, I also love to pull out a canvas and paint, specifically acrylics. It taps into a completely different side of my creativity because it becomes just me and the canvas, no outside opinions, no judgements. Just my pure emotion.

Fun facts?

I have an impeccable ability to drop a 90’s/2000’s pop culture reference at any given moment lol. I LOVE to dance and can hold my own pretty well on a dance floor. I used to also do makeup as well. Although I no longer offer it as a service, I still have a passion for it and love to stay in the know of makeup trends, especially because every now and then you’ll catch me rocking a FULLLL BEAT!!!

Luis’ Work

  • Followed Luis from two other salons and I'd follow him to the moon if he decided to move there. Always great conversation, lots of laughter, and sometimes even tears (good ones. Because I love him so much and he always makes me look and feel like a queen). I'll never get over his bombshell blowout finish that make me wish I could go in to see him every day! It's gotten to the point where I've started to tell him to have fun with my cut and color because I know he'll nail it every time. I partly want to keep him a secret so I dont have to wait for an opening with him, but he deserves to keep growing and Chicago deserves to be touched by the hands of the beauty god himself.

  • Where to begin!!! Luis Valdez at Reflektion salon has cut my hair for years now and there is no one I would ever let touch my hair in this life. His craft is diligent, creative and precise. He listens to what you want suggests amazing ideas that suit your hair goals and create the most beautiful look. Not to mention it is a look that is amazing both styled or natural. His versatility is undeniable and you will leave with your dream hair every time. Don’t waste anymore time your perfect blowout haircut is one call away, Luis is a God send and will always uplift and inspire you! Period.

  • Firstly, was SOOO happy to see Luis back. If you are looking for a hairdresser and have yet to find someone who listens and actually manages to realize your hopes for a cut or color, he is your guy. I moved here, and it took a bit to find someone that took the place of my previous hairdresser (who I loved)...found Luis and so I would so highly recommend. And for those that gave up (Luis had a break for a few months), he's back! The salon is very nice. Clean and staff are very friendly. Really conveniently located in Lakeview near the 22 or 36 bus and a short walk from the Brown or Purple line (at Diversey).

  • Luis gave me the best haircut/blowout OF MY LIFE. Got it days ago and still looks perfect. He knew exactly what my hair needed and it looks the best it’s ever looked. I highly recommend him!!!
