Rovena gave me a lovely blow out and styled my hair with a curling iron. Unfortunately, the curl fell out in 3 hours.

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…

Absolutely love this salon. The staff are always so nice and friendly and Andrea is an absolute genius.

I had an amazing experience at A LaFera after being referred by a friend. The booking process was very easy. I was greeted promptly for my appointment and as someone who knows nothing about hair at all - I explained very poorly what I was looking for with pictures and was blown away that Laura brought it to life.…

My stylist is Rovena I am about to go and do a Keratin treatment with her and I am sure that as always she is going to do a super job. She is very nice always attentive and ask questions about how I want things. The atmosphere in the salon is always very nice and relaxing.
