Look no further, this is the best salon in Ames, Iowa. Valor & Violet, is an Aveda Concept Salon that puts customer satisfaction first. Co-owners, Josh Duchene and Kari Camenisch wanted the salon to have a fresh, organic feel accompanied by their experienced team of hair stylists.  We offer a wide variety of services for women and men. From cuts, colors, styles and perms to make-up, waxing and nail services.  V&V also carries a full line of Aveda products and retail.
