Tony Valentino

Tony, did my hair when he was working at his shop in Carriage Place. He was a very kind, sweet soul who was an exceptional hair designer. Was sad to hear of his passing. Thank you Tony, for the times you did my hair, and for being a kind friend! You will be dearly missed by many! My thoughts and prayers to Tony's family.

Oh Tony how I miss our conversations we had every 5-6 weeks for many years. No one and I truly mean no one can cut and color my hair like you did! My husband passed unexpectedly 3.5 years ago so I hope you and CK are having a glass of red wine in heaven! Love you BT! Aka Big Tony!❤

I just learned of Tony's sudden passing and am so very sorry and sad! I have very fond memories of having "Hair Club" with Tony and a few of my good friends! He was very passionate about his profession and his family. He will be greatly missed by many! The Valentino family will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

You are in my thoughts and prayers as you grieve and celebrate the brilliant life of Mr. Valentino.

I can't express my saddness at the loss of a wonderful, caring gentleman. Tony has taken care of me for several years now and I always looked forward to seeing him each month, he was the only person who could get my color right! He was truly an artist. He will be missed very much, my thoughts and prayers go out to his family, he always lit up when he spoke of his grandkids. Tony, you will never be forgotten. Jayme (Bexley)

Tony was a wonderful, caring, and sincere gentleman. I've know Tony since I was 16 years old. He did my mother's hair for years and enjoyed the chocolate chip cookies she always brought him. He will truly be missed for his warm personality and great talent. You all are fortunate to have such fond memories of a kind and generous husband, father and grandfather.

Tony cut my hair for 26 years. It was a great run. In the fall of 1993, Opera Columbus sponsored a fund-raiser for their grand re-opening: “The Barber of Seville.” Patrons of Columbus barbers and hair stylists were asked to vote for their favorite “barber” by putting coins in boxes left at salons and shops by Opera Columbus. I took up the cause for Tony and his loyal clients contributed more money for Tony than was collected citywide for all the barbers and stylists put together! That’s how...

Tony was a wonderful man and I was fortunate to have known him. He always beamed when he spoke of his family. He was my hair stylist for over 30 years. He was incredibly talented, but more importantly he was always warm and caring. Going to see Tony was always a treat and I will miss him terribly. My deepest sympathy to his family.
