Salon Ivan

What a nice couple running that place. Ivan is great! if you have curly hair and live in Colorado Springs look no futher! Thank you Ivan :)

Ivan is a masterful stylist! He has a great eye for what works for each individual, takes his time to ensure your happiness, and is super friendly. The experience at Salon Ivan is pleasure from start to finish. EVERY curly girl should come here. I feel so refreshed and will definitely be returning!

I am over the moon about finding Salon Ivan. He was so attentive to how I was anxious about cutting my long, curly hair and explained exactly what he was doing through the entire process. He immediately knew how to work with the texture and density of my hair and went straight to work. He took the time to coax the curl out and was a great conversationalist to boot! Ask him about personality types and he’ll give you the low down. He didn’t try to sell me anything and he gave me great tips on how to manage my hair as is, without a lot of styling like I normally would. I cannot get over how grateful I am for this experience. Us curly girls know how hard it is to find a stylist that knows what they are doing. You can stop your search now and make your appointment. You will not be disappointed!

Got my third haircut from Ivan today and I must say he is the best stylist I have ever had. I used to go to salons and leave hating my hair and pray it would grow out quickly. I have gotten many curly cuts from different stylists from around town and none can hold a candle to Ivan. Every time I have gone to see Ivan I have left absolutely loving my hair.
If you’ve been looking for someone to trust your curls to give Salon Ivan a try. You won’t be sorry!

Listen up, curly girls.
For the past 28 years, I’ve been struggling with out of control curls. To date, my styling regimen has been to wash my hair, moosh in some product that says «curly» somewhere on the label, and hope it looks okay.
If that works, then I try not to touch it or move my head, avoid rain or wind, and offer up a prayer to the hair goddess.
If it doesn’t work (³⁶²⁄₃₆₅ days per year), then I lock it up in a curly ponytail/​messy bun thing.
I haven’t cut it in a year, but happened by Salon Ivan and their curly window posters while walking through downtown Colorado Springs. I made an appointment on the spot.
Ivan was fantastic. For starters, he really understood curls. He and his wife (who also works in the shop) have curly hair themselves, and he’s a Deva Curl specialist, which means he gets to know your curls, cuts them dry so he can see how they bounce around, and then washes and styles your hair from start to finish.
I wasn’t made to feel bad about my current regimen (the aforementioned prayer ritual + Walgreens sale products), and he really listened to what I wanted and delivered.
My hair hasn’t been this curly since I was 4 years old. It’s big, bouncy, and it’s not hanging in my face making me nuts. And he didn’t have to cut off 10 inches of hair to give it bounce, which I’ve done before, and has left me looking like a Q-​Tip.
Ivan didn’t push the products (although he and his wife were both really helpful when I decided to purchase some), and he took the time to show me how to style it so that I can replicate this look at home. And he and his wife even taught me how to not fear my curls. All for the right price.
Go there, ladies. (And curly men, I suppose.) You’ll be happy with the results!
