I saw Ivo for a cut and brunette base color with multi tone caramel/honey highlights - the color/highlights turned out fabulous. My cut is not that exotic (basic layers) but the color is tricky because I am really picky and my hair processes really fast. I brought in some pictures, and he listened to what I wanted and matched the colors damn near perfectly. He even spent an extra 30 mins curling my hair even though he could have just blown it out in about 10 minutes. He was really friendly, very attentive and told me when he would come back so I wasn't sitting in the chair wondering if I was overprocessing. My hair literally bleaches in the sun, so I was really worried about turning out orange, but he made me feel really comfortable and checked the color frequently. I was so happy with how it looked at the salon (rare for me, it usually takes me a while to get used to new coloring) I booked another appointment on the spot. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because it was kind of pricy - $205 before tip - and it's in campbell, which is kind of a trek if you don't live or work nearby. I'm thinking the price will come down next time since I won't need as much done (just maintenance, it needed a ton of work this time because I had just come back from vacation and my hair was literally sun bleached blonde so you couldn't even tell i once had highlights). But overall I was really satisfied and am going back in 6 weeks.
