iO Salon,

"Sam is great! Having long hair seems to give some salon owners license to experiment, making the trust factor extremely dubious. Sam can be fully trusted and I drive two hours because he's proven himself time and again!!"

"I will first say I am so particular about my red hair, that I feel like I should be tipping them $100 if I could. I would like to say I am or can be difficult when it comes to my hair and very particular. I have had both Olivia and Paige work on my hair and the service is consistent. I walk in and immediately relax. I love this place if I have ever had an issue it has been fixed immediately. I have not one complaint about this salon. I will say this at the end of the visit every one says "that color looks so good" I say thank you, but what they don't know is I am thanking THEM for getting this color just right! ( I can be very difficult about this red hair)"

"As someone with enough curly hair for three people, finding the right stylist is more than challenging. Upon moving to Atlanta almost seven years ago, I had more bad cuts and colors than one girl can deal with... And then four years ago I met Nate LaFera at I O Salon... Not only did he know how to cut my hair unlike all the others, but he didn't try and make me a blonde! As a life long red head, getting the color right is of up-most importance to me. Nate knows(and loves) RED! Everyone else kept pushing me to a reddish blonde.. Not only can he cut and color but his ability to listen to me is second to none. He takes the time to really understand what really want that most stylists won't. You can just tell that he really cares and really wants you to walk away truly happy. I find him easy and fun to talk to and when you spend the better part of three hours with someone, I think that is very important! I get at least one compliment everyday about how gorgeous my hair is - that wouldn't happen without Nate. So if you are looking for a caring, understanding, incredibly talented stylist, call Nate. You won't regret it."

"This salon, is , without question, one of the best kept secrets in Atlanta. The staff is friendly and courteous, with an eye toward customer comfort, but it is the remarkable skill, knowledge and attention to detail of Nate and his uncanny gift of focusing on each individual, as if they are his only client and the wonderful results which he produces that truly sets him apart from all the others. I literally felt as though I had just stepped out of the most exclusive salon on Rodeo Drive with my own personal stylist/hairdresser, who really had only my best interests at heart. Nate has a wonderful bedside manner, truly cares about his clients and is readily accessible to them, taking that " big salon, everybody is just a number" pinch out of the salon experience. I O Salon and Nate are my Salon of choice and should be yours, as well."
