I tried calling numerous times throughout the week to no answer. So then I tried going to the place to get a haircut during the hours it said they were open. No one is inside and the place is closed even though the store numbers reflect otherwise. Change your hours. I wasted my time driving here because it said it was open. read more

Giomari salon is the best find in the planet! Giorgio did my hair for years! He is an amazing colorist and a master at his craft! He always listened to what I wanted with my hair, he offered suggestions, when I wanted to go shorter he wouldn't let me because he knew I would regret it! We always found new colors and new styles and he never gets bored of trying something new!!! The staff is amazing, the salon is chic and comfortable and I always left feeling like a model! I actually a few years ago after moving to Atlanta and having so many colorists mess up my hair, drove 12 hours to see Giorgio for my birthday so he could fix my hair!! He did fix it and it de aged me by ten years!!! I am sad I moved away and lost Giorgio but go see him and his amazing staff you won't be sorry!!! read more

Can we discuss Giorgio!? He. is. amazing!! I am a hair dye virgin but have been wanting to do balayage for about a year now but have been way too nervous about damaging my hair. My cousin raves about him and swears he is the best, and she is not wrong! After researching a ton and not finding anyone I love within reason I decided to trust my cousins judgement and book an appointment (allll the way in North Aurora, which tbh is the only downfall). He is so kind and is an absolute genius with hair! His salon is beautiful and I love how my hair turned out! It's blended beautifully and it's like all the photos I consulted him about but better since I trusted his judgement. Next time you're looking for an amazing and trusted artist (and want to shop, because it's next to the outlet mall, heyyy) it's worth the trip! read more

Gio Mari Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

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! read more

Gio Mari Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

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. read more

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. ;) read more

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 ombre to a pretty brown with caramel and ash blonde ombre...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. read more

Gio Mari Salon - My amazing color job by Ivette at Gio Mari Salon. - Hair Salons Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

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! read more

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! =)! read more

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). read more

Giorgio is amazing! Very knowledgeable and always up on the latest and greatest products and techniques. Not to mention he is a pleasure to talk to and makes the time of getting my hair processed and styled fly by. My color is always on point, my hair has a beautiful shine and my cut/style is amazing I highly recommend Gio Mari salon to everyone! Check it out!! read more

I have been going to Giomari for years to get my hair cut and Ivette is wonderful. She is creative and always comes up with a style perfect for me. This is a small family owned salon, where you get the attention and service that isn't found at larger salons. I'll never go anywhere else. Stop searching because you have just found the perfect salon - go make that appointment. read more

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. read more

I really hate to leave a bad review, everyone seemed really nice however the highlights I received here were an absolute horrible!!! They were carelessly placed, uneven, and the work was sloppy. I had chunks of blonde oddly placed, I had three racing stripes of blonde on the right side of my head but hardly any color on the left. I pride myself on having natural looking highlights and I was embarrassed by what I received. I am a professional woman who looked like a teenager who let her friend color her hair. I actually had to have my color corrected by another stylist who had to used low lights to break up the globs of blonde. What lead me to write this review was when my new colorist asked if I had a full or partial highlight, my response was full. She then informed me the back of my hair had no color except for one giant chunk of blonde. I couldn't even believe what she was telling me, so she took a picture to show me. So the hair dresser at Gio Mari Salon had literally taken a clump of my hair in the back of my head and slapped a foil in it. I'm sorry but that's about as lazy as one can get. How dare you, I didn't pay for you to be rush or cut corners on my hair. So disappointing. I will attempt add pictures for you viewing. :( Let it be known, I was a professional hair stylist many years ago so I do know what I'm talking about. With this said, I would like to mention Gio did NOT do my hair and from what I could tell as I got my hair done, Gio's work was amazing. When I first considered this salon that's who I wanted to see but switch to the female (NOT Jen) I apologize because I cannot remember the girls name. Younger long haired brunette. read more

See all

I've been having Jen cut my hair for over 10 years at a few different salons, and I am very happy that they've found a location that works for them. All of the stylists are great from what I've seen, and Jen is fantastic. Very friendly and always able to give me the cut I'm looking for. Always ready for appointment times and super courteous to her clients--They get booked, and for good reason, so if you get the chance to come here you will definitely want to come back. Nice decor and a solid music playlist as well, ha! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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

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. read more

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! read more

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!!!!!! read more

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. read more

I was referred to this salon to see Leah, a friend of mine received an amazing haircut from her and I decided to give her a try! I'm so glad that I did because I have never been happier with a cut! Leah was so great, she really listened to what I wanted and was very personable. We had great conversation and she gave me an amazing cut, I'm so glad I found a stylist I can return to!! read more

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! read more

I haven't been on my Yelp profile in a while, but just logged on and saw my previous, outdated review of Jenn at Gio Mari...just wanted to say that I am STILL getting my hair done with her and am still so content with her! In addition to my haircuts and highlights, I've also been getting smoothing treatments done about every 3 months with her and the price is very reasonable, compared to other salons. read more

After using the same hairstylist for nearly 10 years, I decided I was in need of a more reliable hairstylist that was closer to home and wouldn't break the bank. I've tried a few new salons over the past few years, but none of them met my expectations (too expensive, uncomfortable atmosphere, poor quality of work, etc.). I found Gio Mari online, and it had good reviews and was close to home, so I figured I would give it a try. Giorgio was AMAZING! He made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in (offered a beverage, ensured I was comfortable, actually talked to me while he worked!). He gave me a real consultation, which I haven't had in years, in which he asked what I liked and didn't like about my hair, what I wanted done, and gave professional suggestions based on my responses. My color/cut came out wonderfully, and the prices are very reasonable for the type and quality of services received. I will definitely be back! read more

I can't remember the stylist name because it has been a while since my last visit but she has long dark hair...i wasnt much impressed with the outcome of my hair. I make a point to tell everyone that my bangs must be able to go back behind my ear. she cut them waaayyy too short and I suffered it for months! I get terrible eyeaches if my bangs interfere with my vision and so I had to bobbypin my bangs back for a long time! The color was not what i hoped for either but since it wasnt completely botched i made no complaint, paid and went on my merry way vowing to never go to her again. It is hard to find a stylist that really listens. When you tell a stylist to slide cut your bangs but long enough to tuck them behind my ear and to do a full highlite close to scalp, tight back to back foils with only the weaved out hair left out... the stylist should get what your looking for. Some stylist think they can cut corners because they dont think you'll go home and look in the mirror at the back of your head. In a positive light, I have had worse times to other salons AND on the other hand,...Georgio I have used him before and walked away happy with his services. It is a cute shop and I will probably go back but use the other stylists. read more
