Always does a fantastic job! Ivo really pays attention to detail. Not located on my side of town, but I always make the drive when I need a haircut bc Ivo is so sweet..and funny! read more

I was super excited to go to Salon Ivo because of the great reviews and her experience. But after my experience here, I will never go back. Ivo is an extremely nice lady and not to say she does bad on other people's hair but she literally ruined mine. She used such strong chemicals on my thin hair and bleached the crap out of it that it started falling out. I have never lost so much hair in my life. I asked for a natural looking full highlight but instead got a rushed uneven bleach job that made my hair yellow. I cried. I went to another salon to have it fixed and the new guy who did my hair felt so bad for me and said it was one of the worst highlight jobs he had ever seen. I do not recommend Ivo if you have thin hair or want a highlight. I wish I could get my money refunded for this awful experience. read more

I went in with my two daughters who needed their hair trimmed. My first daughter (5) has very fine hair and I asked for a blunt straight across cut with as little off as possible. This was achieved, though the line wasn't as straight as I would like however her hair is naturally wavy so it won't be too obvious. My older daughter (7) steps up. She has very long, straight, and thick hair. She wanted no more than three inches off. So I asked for three inches off with a straight across blunt cut. This woman who I'll say was very nice started hacking away at her hair without sectioning and barely spritzing her hair with water, it was basically dry. It was horrific. The scissors couldn't cut through her hair in one go so this lady kept hacking away and her hand was shaking. She also took for 4+ inches and I could see my daughter was heart broken. When she asked me how I liked the length I told her I didn't want her to cut anymore off because she had already cut too much off. She didn't reply and kept trying to clean it up. Finally she asked what I thought and I told her the line wasn't straight. So she had my daughter stand up and started hacking more off. At this point I realized she didn't have the skills to do this right. So when she asked what I thought I said I wasn't happy but I didn't want her to cut off anymore. She started arguing asking what was wrong with it and I told her she cut off too much and that the line wasn't straight. I paid for the first haircut but refused to pay for the second. She kept arguing claiming I didn't know what I was complaining about saying one minute it was the length the next it wasn't straight. But it was BOTH. We left the salon and my daughter burst into tears saying her hair looked bad. Additionally the salon was dingy. She used a straightener on their hair that was crusted with product and she put some kind of greasy product in their hair that made them look oil slicked. read more

Although I came early and she was working with her current client I waited for awhile but once it came my turn she asked what I wanted, so I showed her a picture of my desired haircut. It was by far the quickest haircut I ever got but she did so good and gave me exactly what I asked for. No fus no mus and I was in and out within 20 minutes. It was great. I'm not a high maintenance girl at all and not too sociable with strangers which is why I really appreciated her listening, asking for clarification and executing the hairstyle I really wanted in such a short amount of time. Thanks! read more

Went in for a haircut for myself and my partner and Ivo blew us away! Not only was she kind, she was also incredibly thorough and thoughtful! She made sure to be extra gentle while working with me because of my chronic pain disorder and even made sure to go out of her way to keep me comfortable. It can be hard to find a good hairdresser when you struggle with disability and chronic pain, and now that we've found Ivo I never have to worry about it again! She did a phenomenal job on my partners fade, my partner even said it was the best fade she'd had since she moved to Austin! Overall it was a wonderful experience for an affordable price! If I could give 10 stars I would in a heartbeat! We will definitely be back! read more

The first time Ivo cut my hair, I was very happy with it. I asked her for just a trim, to take about a 1/2-inch off the split-ends, and keep it the way it looks now because I didn't want to lose too much length. She thought I should have layers, but I told her I didn't want any. She cut it the way I wanted it, and I left a happy customer. I came back soon about a month later, requesting the same. This time, though, she cut these awful-looking layers despite my telling her I didn't want them. I wasn't able to see the extent if the layering at the time - she styled and blew it out in a way that looked ok, although I figured I'd touch it up a little at home myself later. I almost never style my hair though, really don't like to blow-dry it, as it's damaging and time-consuming. But I can't get it to look good. My hair is very fine and with the layering, it looks like a mushroom. If I cut it to even out, I'd lose about 6 inches of length, and I really don't want to do that, so I've been pinning it up in a 1/2-ponytail. It will take a LONG time to grow it out so that the layers and even. NOT HAPPY! ); read more

Ivo gave me the best haircut; She's excellent to work with...Most hair salons don't know how to cut & style thick Mediterranean hair, but she made it look perfect. I would definitely recommend Salon IVO to anyone looking for a decent & affordable haircut. read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! This was the WORST salon we have ever been to!! We only check this salon out because another girl recommended us but we will NEVER come back. My sister asked for a balayage highlights and it was very patchy work. She paid 160 for a half done job, so we asked if she could fix it and she made it WORSE! When we tried to talk to her again about fixing it correctly she was very rude and did not take criticism nicely. When we asked for a refund she refused to give as a refund. I would not recommend anybody to this place ever! Horrible work and very poor customer service! read more

HORRIBLE! She does not know what she is doing and just started cutting away at my hair pretending like she knew. She completely ruined and butchered my hair. Save yourself and do not let her touch your hair. read more

I got a color/cut here. Not only was it exactly what I wanted but Ivo was really nice. I will be back

I can't express enough to STAY AS FAR AWAY from this place as possible!! Apparently the business owner loves to yell at and harass people who park in the plaza's shared lot. Rather than post a sign to have dedicated spots like every other business is already doing in the plaza, this (irrational) business woman would instead stand outside and berate random passerbys attempting to command them to park somewhere else. Her excuse was a large car will block view of her door, preventing customers from seeing her salon. GASP! If only there was a large sign with Big Bold Yellow lettering at the top of the building which could be relied on to avoid this enormous crisis?! The funniest part was not a single person walked into the salon throughout the entire duration of our 30 min lunch next door at Pho Dan. YIKES, it sounds like she has bigger problems than parking spaces. read more

Went in with long hair and a picture and came out with exactly what I wanted. The appointment was super easy to make and she was able to help me decide what was best for my fine hair. She would go back and make sure everything was even and looked symmetrical and she was even extra careful around my brows which I had just gotten microbladed. I really like that she took her time and double checked everything. I got exactly what I wanted for a very reasonable price. read more

I just had my first appointment and hair cut since Covid-19 quarantine. My previous stylist (6 years) is no longer doing hair. Ivo did a fabulous job on my hair. I couldn't be happier because she did what I wanted and did a great job of it!! Prices are very reasonable as well. How lucky am I to find a great and affordable stylist in one try after being with the same person for years!! Thank you Ivo! read more

Ivo does such an AMAZING job. I came to her trusting her with my hair that I don't trust many people with and she exceeded my expectations. She delivered with exactly what I had envisioned and is so patient and kind Everyone should give salon Ivo a try. You will NOT regret it. read more

Finally a hairdresser that cuts exactly how you ask her to! She's also such a nice person and every time I go it's a treat

I had a wonderful experience at Salon IVO. My haircut was done perfectly and just as I wanted it. I also had color put on my grey hair. Ivo was very gracious and went above and beyond to make sure the color was just right. Other stylists have not done this especially for a new client. My eyebrow waxing was also perfect. The price was very reasonable. I have found my new stylist home. read more

I've been going to Salon Ivo for the past couple of years now. She's sweet, thorough and has great prices. It's a no frills salon -- it's just her and sometimes she'll work with multiple customers at once. I usually get my hair lightened, toned and trimmed and I love it every time. If you're looking for a good cut/color without the high price tag, this is your spot. read more

I went back to get a trim today and I was able to walk right in! So convenient! One problem is she doesn't have a credit card machine so make sure you bring cash. The prices are super reasonable and she did a great job with my vague directions. If you don't know what you want, she'll come up with something cute that suits you! Sounds like she's good with kids too. read more

She was fantastic, friendly, professional, and gave me exactly the cut and style I wanted based on Pinterest photos I showed her. Would definitely recommend and will return! read more

Wonderful service and super accommodating. I didn't know what I wanted to do but she made a perfect plan and it ended up perfect. She is extremely welcoming and made me feel right at home. For religious purposes I needed a private space and she was able to close the salon to do my hair privately for comfort. I called on a Thursday and made my appointment for Sunday morning -- very very convenient! An easy location to get to also. I couldn't have asked for a better experience or turnout on my hair. read more

Do not recommend at all! Ordered a Groupon online and called for an appointment and the lady was rude saying they didn't accept them. If that's the case take them off Groupon. read more

I read Yelp reviews about this place and decided to give it a try for a new haircut. Ivo was SO SO sweet, and a pleasure to talk to while getting my hair done. The haircut came out beautiful, and I will be going back to see her again for my future haircuts :) read more

Ms. Ive has been cutting our families hair for 4 years now. She does great with my kids and is very patient. My husband has a hard time finding a good cut and when we found her we didn't want to lose her! She used to be at her previous location off of Metric and is now in the Chinatown Center right next to Rice Bowl Cafe. Give her a try, you wont be disappointed! read more

Great hair color and very reasonable prices! She took her time with me, making sure I got what I wanted and talking me through all the steps so I knew what to expect. Highly recommend coming here for coloring services! read more

Found IVO SALON on yelp, and I thought I'd give her a try after reading such great reviews on here. I called and asked if I would plausible to come in and get my hair cut within the hour. She said yes, I got there and first of all she is so personable, she took the time to listen to what I wanted for my hair. Even with my vague description she cut my hair exactly the way I wanted it. I have long car with wavy curls and she layered perfectly!! She is very reasonably priced and made me feel like she'd been my hair dresser for years! I will definitely be making her my permanent hair dresser for as long as I live in Austin! Definitely 5 stars! read more

Had my haircut here this weekend for the first time; I made an appointment based on yelp reviews. I really liked the lady who did my hair but overall my visit was less than stellar. I don't love my haircut, it's not awful, I just don't love it. I mentioned a "long bob" at the beginning of my appointment and I got the feeling that she wasn't sure of what that was and then she said she wouldn't do it anyways. There was a woman there before me and her trimmings were still on the floor while I had my hair cut. At the end of the appointment she rang me up via a phone app (which was fine) but there was no opportunity to tip her, which i didn't like at all! read more

Ms. Ivo is a sweet lady. She gave me the exact cut I wanted and styled my hair perfectly!

'Ivo is very friendly and has 18 yrs experience with color cut and highlights. Furthermore she is very reasonable with her prices and will take walk ins. I recommend appointments because she gets many customers at once and this allows her to space them out through the day. Overall, best highlights I have ever had. I have recommended her to many friends. read more

I have gone to Ms. Ivo a few times now to get my hair cut. She is very personable and experienced. I give her a hug whenever I leave; she is just such a pleasure to talk to. She gives great haircuts and is very attentive to detail. Her business is slow right now because she doesn't have a sign for her shop, so she will probably see you right away if you walk in. Couldn't recommend her enough! read more

I read the reviews online, which is why I thought I'd try it out being new to the area. Though she was a very nice lady, the experience was horrible. The place was dirty, and if you are looking for a relaxing experience, this would not be the place. I also have to go get my hair redone because of how it turned out. I felt like she did not know what she was doing the whole time, and after four hours, I left very unhappy. read more

A friend recommended Ivo to me and I am so glad I went! Not only is she a delight, her haircuts are good and very reasonable - $25. Can't find that in this city (well out of Super Cuts that is). Unfortunately she is in the strip shopping center that faces Braker just before Lamar. There's a bank at one end, a couple of Vietnamese restaurants, a new Mediterranean restaurant, etc. I say unfortunately because she's the only establishment that doesn't have a nice fancy sign permanently mounted so it's very easy to drive by and not enough notice a salon. She can't afford a permanent sign and her temporary sign keeps getting stolen. I worry that if her business doesn't pick up she will have to close and that will be a real loss to this part of town! read more

I have always been pleased with the haircuts I have gotten this is the first time I have not been pleased. I asked for something and the lady that did my haircut kept saying that wouldn't look good. I was a little suspicious when she kept saying 'chic.' I asked for a bob and she wanted to cut my hair really short from the back I didn't like it because my hair is wavy and didn't want to have to straighten everyday. She told me that my hair was not that wavy that it would be fine but I changed my mind and went with a layered bob. She left my hair looking like a little boys hair. I told her it was fine because I didn't want any more damage done. I have never been so upset about cutting my hair. She just did what she wanted. read more

Have been to this salon twice now. First time got a partial highlight and was so happy with the color. Second time got a hair cut and style. She does such a great job and takes the time to make sure your hair is perfect! read more
