Govero Salons

One of the senior girls cut my hair and it was one of the most blah haircuts I’ve received. The prices aren’t cheap and it’s obvious that you’re paying for the Clayton real estate space NOT the quality or professional level of the cut. Also, a lot of the people working here are a tad on the rude side (this is the Midwest not NYC I would expect a more «mid-​west» kindness). I would not suggest Govero to anyone, this Robert Govero’s business to make money, not make people happy about their hair.

Worst haircut I have ever received. Read the good reviews on Unilocal and made an appointment right before vacation. Unfortunately the stylist didn’t listen to a word I said. I had long, thick, curly, healthy (except for the bottom inch) hair down to the top of my hips. I went in for a trim and to get a couple layers added to help with a bit of the bulkiness. I SPECIFICALLY stated I wanted nothing cut above my bra strap area. That was to be the shortest layer. Well I ended up with 80% of my insanely thick hair cut to just under my chin with the rest of it trailing down my back. There is so little of it left in the back that I’m considering cutting it off bc it looks as if someone just didn’t finish cutting it. It’s completely unbalanced and my hair is so unruly that I have kept it tied back in a pony tail (I never put my hair up before). It will take a couple years for me to grow it back and if it was short and looked good I could deal with it, but it is completely unmanageable. I haven’t even allowed my boyfriend to see it because I am so embarrassed. I never used products in my hair before, but now I’ll be trying to find something that will weigh it down enough that it’s not giving me a giant balloon head and I can wear it down. Otherwise I will be wearing my hair in a ponytail everyday for at least the next year.

Whitney is absolutely incredible. Not only is she one of the sweetest, friendliest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met, she’s also an incredible hairdresser. I’ve never had a more multi-​faceted, natural-​looking, vibrant blonde! I have been searching St. Louis for a great salon and stylist, and it’s safe to say that I have found the perfect fit. The salon is beautiful and clean, the products are high-​quality, and all of the stylists are very friendly. My cut and color was worth every penny!

Robert has done an amazing job with his salon. His team is outstanding and very friendly. I’ve been there twice now, and Whitney did an incredible job both times. You can tell they are passionate about the work they do, and they want every customer to have an unbelievable experience. Great job!

I’ve been going to Becke for years and when she moved to Govero I followed her. I love it there! The stylists do amazing work and the staff is super friendly. Govero makes their salon a fun and relaxing place to be. I highly recommend giving them a chance. Becke and Rachel are my go to girls but I know everyone there does a great job.

I have been searching for a stylist in St. Louis for years, and have finally found what I am looking for in Govero Salon. I am extremely picky when it comes to my blonde highlights and haircuts. I have fine hair, but a lot of it and prefer my hair to have fine, delicate highlights. All the previous places I’ve gone to, placed chunky highlights and the ultimate color was washed out with stripes. Not at Govero! Rob met with me before scheduling my appointment and this guy knows his stuff. The technique that he uses for placing the foils, yields a consistent, beautiful blonde, wherever I part my hair and the regrowth «line» is diminished.
Now the haircut! I have been trying to grow my hair out for years and every place I’ve gone, takes off an inch or more with every cut, so my hair length remains the same. Rob understood what I was looking for and only cut what was needed (less than half an inch). Also, I’m not a fan of wispy layers that curve into my face and have been told by previous stylists that my hair just «lays like that». Rob understood what I wanted and I walked out with the best haircut that I’ve had in years with no face, framing, lion looking wisps! The finished product was amazing – perfect blowout and he even gave me tips on how to replicate the look at home.
Everyone on the team is friendly and approachable.

When I moved to St. Louis from Boston, one of my biggest worries was who was going to do my hair (well…not BIGGEST, but a blondie needs a good hairdresser to keep her roots in check!) I asked a friend with fabulous blonde hair where she got hers done, and she referred me to Rob. Rob does an amazing job with my blonde highlights, and clearly knows his stuff — he’s been in the industry for years. Not only have I loved my color from Rob, the haircuts he’s given me have been awesome as well. He listens to what you want, while also will giving you the best recommendation for your hair. I would definitely recommend him, or any of his stylists (I’ve gone to a few others when Rob was unavailable and I was desperate for a highlight!).

Robert does a terrific job –and they’re accommodative.

Rob, the owner, is a hands on experienced practitioner. He studies the art and science of hair. I had a keratin treatment and cut. I was nervous to do the keratin treatment because I’m really active (aka, sweat a lot). He worked with me, tuned up my cut and taught me his to blow dry my hair to get the results I wanted. I have gotten many compliments. I haven’t had color done yet, but just observing them in action makes me know that I would get a great result. And, Whitney gives a great shampoo and scalp massage.

I followed my wonderful hairdresser, Rachel,
To Govero and had my first experience there last month. I had a great experience from start to finish. The front desk was mega professional, very organized with their use of modern technology for confirming appts., the salon is gorgeous warm and welcoming in its décor and the floor plan looked like it had been designed to make work an enjoyable functional experience for the people who are employed there. Very IMPORTANT to me: THE MUSIC WAS IN THE BACKGROUND WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ! I can’t bear patronizing any business that insists on blaring the music, it’s a disease in this country, you can’t go anywhere without having your eardrums assaulted! Business phsycology in our society is that if your clients are anxious and uncomfortable they will spend more money, and you will get more productivity out of your employees. IE noise & extreme temperatures = chaos= money.
I am so happy Rachel chose Govero to continue her career path. The ONLY reason I did not give 5 stars, is because one of the stylists had his cell phone on while I was in there that rang several times and he was conversing on it while working on a client. I don’t know the circumstances .
I did read several other great reviews here on Unilocal,that I am sure were deserved but find it somewhat shocking that a client would bring a toddler into such an environment! Again I don’t know all the circumstances, and Rachel does an awesome job at a price I can afford!

I took my 11 month old son to Julie for his first haircut. She could tell I was a hot mess, so she made sure not to cut it too short or too much off the top. She used the clippers for the most part, but when she had to use the shears, she was quick and made sure to get out of his way since he was moving all over the place, even on my lap. Before she started she let him feel the vibration of the clippers and this seemed to take care of a lot of his curiosity which could have made the cut much more difficult.

I don’t do many reviews on Unilocal but I felt like I just had to spread the word about Robert Govero for Hair in Clayton. First of all, Rob is a charismatic, friendly, and fun guy who does amazing cuts, gorgeous color, and PERFECT blowouts. Seriously worth every single penny!
I’ve been to stylists that make you feel special and act like they are interested in your life but it usually is superficial and only lasts for the first appointment or two. Not Rob. He’s full of energy, interest, excitement, and you can tell the man LOVES what he does, including getting to know his clients. Between his master skills and his appreciation for each person that walks into his salon, I can absolutely say he is the best stylist I have ever been to.
In addition, his staff is amazing at customer service. Every single one of them makes you feel like a friend, never neglects to take your coat, ask you if you would like a drink, smile and acknowledge you (you would be amazed at how many stylists at other salons think if you aren’t their client they don’t need to talk to you), and ask how you’re doing. I have to say, I have met some other pretty cool clients there, as well. The environment is so relaxed and friendly that its really easy to start chatting with other clients and staff.
Added bonus, you can schedule your appointment from the website! I love that!
If you want to look and feel like a superstar you need to go to Robert Govero! (Seriously, I had a colleague tell me I was like a movie star with all the great cuts and colors I’ve tried over the past year with Rob.)
