Val's Hairstyling on Chula Vista's Third Avenue has occupied the same storefront since 1948, ranking among the oldest continuously operating salons in the Third Avenue Village district. The shop handles cuts, full color, and microblading alongside traditional barbering, placing it on a grooming spectrum that spans from the fade work at Faded Craft Barber Shop to full-service cosmetology. Located between Madrona Street and Park Way, the salon serves both walk-in and appointment-based clients for men's, women's, and children's cuts. The microblading service uses manual blade technique to deposit pigment into the brow's dermal layer, a semi-permanent cosmetic process that complements the permanent-makeup and brow-shaping work offered at Brow Artistry San Diego. Color services apply permanent and demi-permanent formulas with developer volumes adjusted between 10 and 40 based on each client's gray percentage, porosity level, and target lift for precision tonal results.
