5 reviews for Studio Fovero
I'd moved to German Village almost 2yrs ago, discovering Studio Fovero & Meghann Mounts, my amazing stylist! She keeps my locks dark, shiny & healthy, while their esthetician, Lizzy Morris, maintains my glowing skin with the salon's signature microzones, a 20-min cleanse & exfoliation treatment using my go-to skin care line, Dermalogica.
At $20, I get these every 10-12 days, well worth every penny! Pricing for hair services are incredibly reasonable, I typically get the works- partial hylite, color, sometimes a shine treatment & cut for under $150.
Fun & friendly staff, tremendous talent, great location, it doesn't get any better than Studio Fovero!
I signed up for a Bridal hair and makeup package for myself with Brandon and the makeup artist at Studio Fovero 6 months prior to my wedding based off of good reviews from the knot. I did not know Brandon before my trial with him because my wedding was a six hour drive from where I currently live. There were several things about my experience with him that I did not like. Firstly, I didn't exactly know what I wanted when I went in for my hair trial, and when I went in I thought we could have a discussion with him about what would look best on me based off of the style I was going for. He also said that the look would really only be a "sketch" of the style I would have on my wedding day. I ended up walking out with a pretty 'do, but it ended up being a little more modern than I wanted... So I ended up calling the studio and asking them if I could come in for another trial. When I came in for a second time, Brandon expressed that I had already had my trial and this time I would have to pay for an additional trial. I was fine with this considering it was extra work. I showed him the picture that I wanted: a soft vintage finger wave ala Madonna in Evita. He said that he was absolutely sure that he could do it. Personally, it was a painful experience sitting in that chair for 2 and 1/2 hours. He began by gel setting the hair, and then tried numerous times to get a soft wave. He finally got one side of the 'do... the other side was a flaky mess. I ended up paying for 1/2 of an updo! I was furious!
The thing that really upset me about this experience was that from the beginning he was plain sassy, and at the end, when giving up on the 'do, he didn't even say he'd practice before the wedding or reassure me at all. It was terrible. I obviously cancelled the entire package and went to Michael Matteson at 1400 Downtown who did the beautiful vintage 'do I wanted in 45 mins.
The other thing I wanted to mention was that Brandon cut a member of my family's hair the week before the wedding, and the cut was uneven and messy.
I rarely get my hair cut and I have had my hair cut by both Dina and "Big Debbie" who did a great job striking the balance between professional and messy look I was after. Recommended.
Tried years ago and came back! A good friend of mine ( with beautiful, flowing locks) referred me to Megann Mounts, Designer-aka artisan of color. Not only does Megann have an upbeat personality, she's honest and skilled with what she does.
I did not get a cut, just a partial weave. Something to even things out and welcome my strands to autumn. She did just that. The pic's from the following weekend's party get a thumbs up. The partial highlight is priced at $60. If you can find it cheaper, don't bother. She's worth every penny.
At Studio Fovero, they seem to work well together. It's a complementary team. The clients' best interest is the first priority.
Great location, nice interior, though a bit too crowded and loud. I waited the briefest of an instant before Erica (Erika? forgive my bad memory but I'll refer to her as Erica here), the friendly and earnest stylist who cut my hair, showed up and whisked me off to her station. Erica is nice, I enjoyed our conversation -- or what I could make out over the din of the noisy spot. I found Erica very accommodating to my requests and liked my cut when I walked out of the salon -- I liked it enough to recommend two other friends try it out. But, as days passed, I found locks of uneven lengths in what was supposed to be a sleek bob. I admit that when I saw the uneven strands, I recalled that in the midst of the cut, I marveled at how much more quickly Erica cut my hair than most other stylists, who expend no small amount of time refining the cut.
So my general assessment: nice stylist, fun to talk to, ok cut, cute courtesy package of samples of hair products, friendly staff, noisy salon but for all that, I didn't think it worth the $55 I shelled out. I'm new to Columbus, though, and so am not able to give a good sense of how this salon experience compares with others in town. And, judging from the other reviews, it's a well regarded place, so maybe I should go back and give it one more try?
