Best salon in the Athens area. Andrea is amazing.
Once again, a great haircut and staff in a lovely environment. Thank you for the good experience.
Great hair color and cut by Rov, as usual. Great salon with friendly staff and relaxing ambience.
Rovena is amazing! She has been my stylist for many years and I have complete trust in her to take great care of my hair. I always leave the salon feeling happy and confident with the results. Andrea and the whole team are outstanding and A. LaFera Salon also offers a lot of great products. Highly recommend!!
Highly recommend this salon. I take my 92yo grandmother here for regular hair cut and color service. They are able to accommodate for our needs. Janet always does a great job and makes my grandmother feel beautiful.
Lesly did such an incredible job with my hair! She made sure every detail matched my vision, never rushed through the appointment, and was so sweet and patient the whole time. You can truly tell how much she cares about what she does. Highly recommend

Great atmosphere and friendly staff
Second time visiting A LaFera but first time getting my hair cut by Laura. She brought my hair back to life after I’ve neglected it for six months. She’s charismatic and kind, and I could have yapped with her about life for hours in that salon chair. I live a 5 minute walk from downtown Athens, and have tried every…
Rovena is my go-to for keeping me blonde! She's the best, I trust her with my hair
My 13 year old wanted a drastic change to her long hair and Rovena at A LaFera was the perfect stylist to do it! We will definitely be back!
For literal decades A LaFera Salon has been the best in Athens. Andrea is a professional and her stylists seem to have her skills rub off on them. Everything they do is wonderful!
Found my new salon and stylist!! Laura is incredible and transformed my over processed hair to the most gorgeous natural blonde color with dimension! I thought there was no hope but whatever magic she used I’m here for it!! She listened to me which is rare, and collaborated with me to make sure I was super happy! I…
Another great cut and color. I get compliments on my hair all the time. Great service and atmosphere.
I had a wonderful experience! It is a beautiful salon, and has great products. My stylist Laura did a great job! She was friendly and my hair looked amazing!
I have my balayage and haircut done by Lesly. I love my results every time!! She’s amazing!
Janet has cut my hair for over 15 years. She is amazing. I love the salon. It is upscale without being pretentious.
An excellent hair salon. Andrea is the best!
Devin did a great job, spending extra time helping me figure out what I wanted to change.
Rovena is the best.
I’ve been Rovena’s client for a long time and I am always satisfied with her excellent work. Everyone is super nice and attentive and the place is very cozy and relaxing.
Andrea Lafera has been my hairstylist and hair care specialist for nearly 30 years now. No one has ever exceeded her capability and her expertise with my hair needs. Her salon and her ethos can be wrapped up in one word: Quality. Quality in her craft, in the other services provided, in the hair products and other…
Perry answered all of my questions, taught me new things about taking care of my hair and how to style it, and encouraged me in my journey of letting my hair grow out and make a change.
Everyone is so nice and make you feel good!
Very nice salon with friendly atmosphere. Kudos to Perry Mccrackin for being the master magician. Always delivers what you ask for. Thank you Perry.
Always a great experience! Haircut and color is always good. I love going to Rovena
Best salon ever!! Thank you Rovena…..always happy with this hair🥰
I had a great experience at this salon! My appointment started promptly. Laura asked me about my expectations and really listened when I told how I wanted my hair cut. She did a good job, and I made another appointment with her! I can’t wait to see how she does with my color!
I was very pleased with the service today with the service I received. the team is o professional and talented. I always feel the inside of the salon is an oasis in the Athens area. I highly recommend Janet or Laura if you need a cut. Prices for men are reasonable.
Very clean ,and friendly staff .Miss Lesley is amazing ! I feel very blessed to have met you all ,and I'll definitely be returning.
It has been my pleasure to visit Andrea every six weeks over the past 16 years! I could not do without her and her complete wonderful staff. In addition to giving the most lasting, excellent haircut, the ambience is low-key, beautiful, and a pamper me like a queen! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Linda Mitchell.
It’s a wonderful salon. Everyone is nice, professional and flexible. Their services are the best in Athens.
Very happy with my haircut by Rovena.
I feel a sense of calm and relaxation when I step into LaFera salon. It is always welcoming and friendly, extremely clean and tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Service is always very professional, and these people know how to do hair! Highly recommended!
Charming atmosphere. Friendly staff. Fantastic experience every time.
This was my first time here and Laura did a great job asking questions to figure out what color and style I wanted. The color and cut are both spectacular - exactly what I hoped for
Rovena is the best. Thank You.
Always first rate . Any man needing a haircut I strongly recommend Ro.
Andrea is a GREAT stylist. Very detailed, precision cut. Thank you!
Absolutely love this salon. The staff are always so nice and friendly and Andrea is an absolute genius. She takes the time to explain what she’s doing and why, the products that would best compliment the style you’re going for and advice on styling at home. She is a very sweet lady and makes you feel comfortable,…
Devyn is a wonderful stylist. Very patient, talented and friendly. She worked with me to get the results I wanted.
My visit with Andrea is a cherished monthly reward. It’s a chance to unwind and be refreshed with a haircut and conversation. I always look 10 years younger and 10 years wiser when I leave!
Nice cut from Laure. See you in 3 months.
Always 5 stars love the staff and Ravena the best ❤️
A.LaFera is outstanding for transforming my hair. Andrea always gives exceptional work. In all the years I’ve been to her she never disappoints. Also has an excellent staff.
Staff is always welcoming, extremely competent and on time!
I am new to Athens and saw Devyn for a cut and color for the first time. What a wonderful experience! The salon is beautiful and cozy. Devyn did an amazing job listening to me to get a great sense about my style. My hair looks amazing! I’ll be back for sure!
Efficient, polite, ready to accomodate special needs and Andrea is an artist!
Great experience and beautiful salon!
I’ve been a client of Andrea’s for 20 years! Today, I asked her to mix things up and add more layers and remove some length. I didn’t give any more instructions because I knew she’d use her mad scissor skills to create something that I’d love!! It’s such a fun and festive change for the season! I absolutely Love…
The feeling you get when you walk in the door is Amazing.The service is top notch all of the stylist are really friendly you feel very welcomed.❤️.
Love this salon! I have been multiple times! Andrea and Devin are fantastic
Andrea does a phenomenal job. She is such a wonderful person as well.
I went in for color and a cut. The color was perfect! It's exactly what I wanted! The cut, however, was the exact opposite of what I asked for. It has turned out to be one of the worst haircuts I've ever had. I had dinner with some friends after I left the salon and was asked if they had used hedge clippers and a…
Gorgeous salon and the owner Andrea is a talented colorist and stylist. I’m sure all the other stylists there are great too. The staff is friendly and professional and always provide a good experience. Love going here.
Everyone is great! Rovena is the best. Very relaxing and lots of notions and gifts. If you don't go here, you probably should. If you do, then you already know.
My person that washed and conditioned my hair was very nice and tried to have a conversation with me. I lived my hair lady, she did great!
I know I can come to Rovena with any wild idea, and she will execute it so well!! I have never left an appointment disappointed 💕
Beautiful place, friendly staff and great haircuts!!
I came in last minute to fix the hair I got done at a different place, and I’m so happy! Devyn was super sweet and nice enough to take in my walk-in request and I’m soooo so thankful!! She’s so sweet and did such an amazing job fixing my hair. I am so glad I chose this place!
I have never been treated so luxuriously at a salon before! They are magnificent!
Consistently excels expectations. Andrea and her staff are so accommodating and gracious. Lovely atmosphere and offers a variety of services. Highly recommend.
The 1st class feel you ALWAYS experience when going into A LaFera is priceless... Products are great too...
Amazing customer service!! Andrea and the rest of the staff are the best!
