Yep, can't pressure-test a head if it won't hold pressure -- that's why you need the valves in place. If the shop says otherwise, let us know WHY they say so, and then find another shop.
If you have a broken valve, I have concerns about cracked or broken valve guide(s), or other assorted damages. After you compare the cost of fixing your bad head against replacing it with a good used one, I think you'll find the costs are the same or less just to replace. That's what I'd do. Assuming you can find a decent head for a couple of hundred bucks.
