Gio Mari Salon

This could be a great place if they actually showed any kind of care for their clients appointments. Since they’re NEVER available (trust me… if you’re reading this, call right now and ask when they next availability is) you’d think that when they say they’ll call you about an appointment they’d actually follow through.
I managed to have one appointment with them throughout the course of the many months I’ve lived in the area and tried to schedule cuts with them. It wasn’t anything great, definitely not worth the price they charge over other salons.
I’m disappointed they don’t seem to care about the fact that someone is actually interested in doing business with them and being a client of theirs.

Welcoming and cool place. Ivette was awesome, I’m VERY happy with my hair! She is great with bangs, Ivette made suggestions to my features and my desired cut, modified and nailed it!!!

I adore this place. I have been going to Jen foreeever! I have followed her from two other salons to Gio Mari’s Salon. Jen is amazing with color. She is aan absolutely sweetheart too! If you walk into this salon in a crappy mood, you will walk out with a smile on your face. Jen, Ivette and Giorgio are all great at what they do. They love doing hair and it shows. Plus, the salon is in a cute, old storefront of a building with a cool vibe. 5 stars for sure!

Ivette does my hair here and she sites a great job! She’s cut and dyed my hair and did balayage highlights. I’ve had several compliments on my hair. Ivette is so sweet and she even came to my house to do my hair and bridesmaids hair on my wedding day. Gio Mari Salon has great prices as well!

Ivette has been cutting and dying my hair since last February. I came in with hair that hadn’t been professionally cut in over a decade. She layered it and made it a very long asymmetrical cut, with a soft black color. I loved it! The next time, I went for a way shorter bob that was a dark red-​violet.
Ivette has a cheerful and happy personality, and she’s always a pleasure to speak with. She also knows her stuff! I ask approximately 1 billion questions, since I fail at girly things, and she never bats an eye or complains. She never hesitated to explain options to me, or help me decide if a color was good. She’s extremely talented and has an excellent eye for fashion and design, which is precisely what you want in a stylist.
I’ve had my hair dyed about four times since I came to the salon without any issues. It has always been a painless and pleasurable experience.
The salon itself is very stylish inside — it absolutely stands out in the neighborhood where it’s located. Customer service has never been anything but fabulous. The establishment is clean and tidy, and all of the staff is absolutely professional and polite. The prices are average for the area, but they have great package deals if you are getting a lot of services (in my cases, a color touch-​up, highlights, and a cut).

I went here last year for a haircut before school. While I was at the salon it looked great, but after a couple days my hair became so dry, damaged and it just looked dead. It was so limp and I ended up having to tie my hair in a ponytail till my next haircut. Really not a great experience.
Customer Service was okay though. I called in asking for an appointment around 9 or 10 I think, and I got one at 1. They also have a discount for new customers. Not worth it though.

Giorgio & Jen are fantastic, always extremely friendly and clean environment.
Giorgio has been cutting my hair for over 3 years and I would never dream of seeing someone else!

I have been going to Giorgio for over a year now and I cannot tell you how happy I am. My brother was my hair stylist since I have been 6 years old and when he moved to another state I was devastated. It took me four years, lots of bad hair cuts, then cutting and coloring myself. WOW I am so pleased I found Giorgio. He Rocks the cuts and colors and makes me beautiful. I cannot be more pleased with this little gem of a salon. Check out my web site
as well as my FB page
to see all my new looks he has created for me. He is an incredible colorist and stylist. i feel so beautiful when I go and cannot wait till my next appointment. Mind you I do challenge him since i am an artist and want new things all the time. If he can please me with a new look and color changing alot he can certainly please anyone with a constant. Love you Giorgio. P. S. I am not related just a very happy client.

Absolutely AWFUL. That is putting it mildly. I think the positive reviews must be from their friends and/​or family. I went in for a base color. First, my scalp burned! I have been getting my hair colored for 15 years and this was a first. Yvette asked me if I liked the color and I said, «I have no idea. It’s so dark inside the salon.»
I went home saw that she missed a bunch of spots on my roots and the places where she did get color were two different colors. My scalp just hurt.
I woke up the next morning and my scalp was killing me. Soon I started seeing flaking of my scalp– huge pieces.
I went into a hair salon to see what was going on. The stylist said the job was horrible, my scalp was burned by the bleach, and now needs corrective color. I went to a second place for another opinion because I just could not believe it. The two stylists there said the exact same thing!
I called Yvette to let her know of the situation. She offered to fix it. However, would you ever go into or back to a place that does horrible work and burns people? No thanks.
I had to get corrective color and a moisturizing treatment. I have to be careful with my hair for the next few months. The stylists are concerned about breakage. I will need to do lots of moisturizing treatments. Plus, I had to pay $ 200 to fix this botch job.
As a side note– I like to get my make up done by people who have good makeup themselves. As for hair, the same goes. Well, lets just say I wasn’t impressed at all and the other female stylist’s highlights looked green. But, again, the place was very dark. ;)

I LOVE this place!!! Amazing! After two years of living in the Aurora area, you would think I would have found THE hairstylist of my dreams. Not so, I had to constantly do the «one stop shop» deal at each and every hair salon– settling with «so so» or just «okay» haircuts. Giorgio and his staff have changed that for me! I absolutely LOVED my haircut! I have fine hair and it is typically difficult to have stylists who understand how to cut my hair– not so with Giorgio– he actually informed me he has different approaches for each kind of hair (thin, fine, thick, etc.). I was SO impressed and though I didn’t get my hair colored this time, I can’t wait until I do!

I’m a new comer to this salon and I absolutely love it. Leah, my hair stylist is a hair magician. She took my lifeless, dull hair and turned it into a soft silky layered masterpiece. The entire time she was cutting my hair we chatted about anything and everything and the other stylists joined in and made you feel like you were among friends. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a laid back, professional and affordable salon to go to.

I love Gio Mari, my hairstylist Ivette, the rest of the staff & the chic environment… nothing but good vibes! Ivette has been my hairstylist for the last 3 years and I absolutely love how my color/​cut and style comes out each and every time. I recently had her change my color from black with caramel ombré to a pretty brown with caramel and ash blonde ombré… she nailed the look I was going for & I get so many compliments on my hair always. She’s the best! I give Gio Mari Salon & Ivette my highest recommendation.

Ivette is the most amazing colorist/​hair stylist I’ve ever met. I’ve been going to her for almost 2 years now and have never changed stylist ever since. Before her I practically had untouched hair for many years because of countless disappointments of bad stylists. Every stylist left me with a color I hated and damaged hair so I never got a hair cut for the same reason, I would just cut it myself after watching a YouTube video (lol). When i found her I had dark long hair with no style. I wanted a change!
She gave me an a-​symmetrical bob and turned me into a blonde! The compliments I get everywhere I go are so many that some girls want their hair just like mine. It’s so beautiful that I think I should have been born a blonde.
The salon itself has a chic look, all the staff makes you feel welcome and comfortable regardless of all the different women from different ages and ethnicity that go to the salon. The best thing is Ivette’s sassy personality, she is amazing and very fast as well. Fast quality work time flies with her always. I wouldn’t change her for the world, she’s the best colorist out there and I recommend her to everyone!
Did I mention that I live in Chicago? Yes people! I drive over 30 miles and almost an hour to get to her. She’s worth it all.

This is the best place to have your hair cut! I go to Ivette there and I am telling you that she is fabulous! I have been going for years and I have never had a bad haircut and style there. She is very experienced and very knowledgeable. I have learned so much from her. She listens to what you want and will not hesitate to make suggestions to make you look good. Everyone there is friendly and they make you feel at home. It’s a cute place and easy access from the tollway. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great cut and style. I love my look and its all thanks to Ivette!

I’ve been going to Ivette for years and she’s the best! She colors my hair with quality product making it long lasting, silky looking and feeling so healthy. Ivette is super personable and she’s hilarious-​never a dull moment. The salon itself is cute and clean. It’s got a vintage meets modern feel and all the other hair specialists are super friendly and make you feel so comfortable! GioMari salon is the best around.

I’ve been going to Jenn for 2 years now and haven’t been disappointed yet! I was referred to her by a friend and first started going to her at her previous salon. Shortly after, she moved to this cute little salon. They renovated the front end of an old house, located across the street from a Catholic School. It’s very easy to get to, even though it’s sort of in the middle of a residential area. I get off of I-​88 at Farnsworth and go south to the very first light, turn right and go to the end of the street. The salon is immediately on the left. Tiny parking lot but haven’t had an issue with finding a spot ever. There is also street parking along Church Street.
She’s done haircuts, highlights, lowlights, and smoothing treatments for me. She’s done a great job with all of the processes AND she listens to my hair needs. I used to sort of freak out when I would meet with a stylist, but she has proven herself over and over, so now I just sit and chat with her and never even think about what she’s doing to my hair. She’s super sweet and doesn’t try to sell me hair products or services. She’s kind of a modern day flower child– super cool and easy going! :-) I’m so happy that I found her!

I came here and got my hair done by Leah and it looks awesome! I’ve had more compliments on my hair now than I did before. I’m one that never has a plan for my hair and Leah took on that challenge! The salon is smaller which I love and very friendly!

My friend recommened Giorgio to me. He was great! He understood what I needed and did a fantastic job. He’s quick too :)

Stopped in at this quirky cute salon about a week ago. I’m so glad that I had Jen do my hair. She’s so good with color, I love it.
They haven’t been open very long so they’re still trying to get everything in place. Slowly but surely this place will look amazing.
As the years go by I’ve learned that you can’t just let anybody touch your delicate hair. So I’m glad I’ve found Jen and that she’s moved on to this salon. They keep appointment times, don’t overcharge and make you feel secure about what they’ll do to make you look beautiful, well your hair at least… they’re hair stylist, not magicians. ;)
Check them out!

Just discovered Giorgio, at Gio Mari Salon, and I have struck gold! He is one of the one of the few, truly gifted, hair stylists in this world. He took my mess of one serial, pathetically bad haircut, style, + disastrous color~ and created a whole new, oh-​so-​happy woman! He is non less than a hair genius, and a real hair guru.
I am so thrilled to finally love my hair, after years of agony. What more can I say? He is the real deal, and I am so very thankful I found him! Took me 4 long years, but better late than never!
=)!
