WHITE The Art of Hair

After moving here from Colorado, I searched for someone who made me as happy as my previous stylist. I heard about Lush Salon from a co worker and gave it a try. I wanted an appointment with Danita, but she was booked in the time frame I needed. The receptionist, offered to put me on a cancelation list, but I didn't expect to go before my appointment, but, they did call when they had a cancelation! I cannot say enough about how great, sweet, and helpful she was. She consulted with me on what I wanted, and then SURPRISE~~~she did exactly what we had discussed. THEN, step by step, showed me how to style my hair at home. Now, I love my previous hairdresser, but she never did that. Instead of feeling like I will only look that good when I leave the salon, I can now style it pretty good myself. (Well, she still does better than me, but I am not as far off!) The bonus to Lush is that it is very easy going and welcoming. Everyone there is very nice, I think 3 different people asked if I wanted something to drink! They made me feel comfortible and I look great. What more could you ask for? By the way, I would like to say that Danita is a kept secret. If everyone knew how amazing she was with hair color, she would never have a day off. No where on the salon website does it give justice to her knowledge, awards, or the fact that she teaches hair color to other stylists. And one of the greatest things about her is, she is not arrogant. AT ALL. You can tell that she really loves what she does, and I have the pleasure of wearing it! Thanks! more

I've been going to Danita since my college days at IU.... almost 8 years ago. She always has the best style cuts for me and the most wonderful color techniques. I've grown from just a kid to a working corporate woman. My hair cut and color are always stylish and appropriate as I evolve into new phases of my life. She remembers everything we talk about and all my likes and dislikes, but still suggests new techniques, colors or cuts if she thinks it will suit me. Great Job! Pros: Appt. flexibility, cost Cons: Can drive by if not paying attention more

Coming from LA where everything is expensive, I was shocked to learn that a simple bleach, toner, and trim would be $150 or more. For Indianapolis? Ok, so I'm new here and thought that this would be the best place for me to go. Never mind that I had cancelled an appt with Style's Tabatha in LA. This place "must" be good right? All these reviews are from "real" people right? Yeah, that's what I thought too. So I go in to my appt the next day with a gal, as soon as I entered the door, my sister was asked to leave as she had her two children with her. How Danita spoke to her was with the most disdain and patronizing tone I have ever heard. As my sister walked out the door I turned to Danita and told her that I thought what she said & HOW she said it was very demeaning. So on to my hair, I was VERY clear about how my hair has been colored for the past 15 years. I know how my hair responds to certain products and I asked what they use. Loreal. Easy. 40 mins on & then a toner for 15 mins. Again, easy. Nope, not to them. I sat under the dryer for 30 mins. Then 5 different times, toner was put on my hair. Five times. My hair is NO WHERE NEAR THE COLOR I ASKED FOR. Not only that, my hair is four or five shades and the back is ORANGE. So I go back today, 2 days later to see what she could do about my hair. Danita acted like she could have cared less and did not offer a refund. I asked for my stylist to correct the color and Danita stated that "they will have to get back to me" REALLY? I'm calling the appropriate agencies and complaining about LACK OF SERVICE and the Owner. How can one think of treating customers so badly and still be in business? Trust me I have a loud mouth, and EVERYONE will know how I was treated. Cons: EVERYTHING more

After having my hair styled and colored by the same stylist (in my home) for 7 years, I was totally freaked out about starting with someone new. One of my best friends (who has an amazing eye for style) knew about Danita and recommended that I check her out. She said that one of her friends had gone to her and returned looking hotter than she had ever seen him. I decided to give it a try. What do all my friends now (very sincerely) tell me? THAT I (AND MY HAIR) HAVE NEVER LOOKED BETTER!! Their reports are totally supported by all the attention I get on the street - about three times more than before!! Danita has an artist's eye for color and shape. She advised me to change my color and the style and did so with such warmth and sensitivity that I actually trusted her. She is now my new stylist. I give her my highest recommendation (and I am not easy to please, LOL)!!!! Pros: Scores excellently on all bases. more

I had my engagement photos scheduled for last September and unfortunately I was without a makeup artist. I had gone to several bridal shows and wasn't thrilled with the makeup I saw there. It wasn't until a friend recommended I visit Lush. She had her wedding makeup done with there and her pictures came out BEAUTIFUL! So I scheduled a consultation and was immediately impressed. They were so knowledgeable and knew exactly what would work for my face. And let me tell you, my engagement pictures came out AMAZING!!! They have this incredible gift for eyebrow sculpting and eye makeup application which makes you look like a star. And the makeup is so eco-friendly and light that I feel like my skin is breathing...and yet you get amazing coverage. Needless to say I immediately booked Lush for my wedding. All my bridesmaids loved her and are now using Lush makeup products. My wedding was last month and I just got the proofs back from my photographer. And what can I say? Again, amazing, beautiful pictures. They also gives makeup classes if you are the 'do it yourself' kind of girl. I highly recommend you book a consultation and see for yourself. more

All I could say after I left the salon was WOW. I loved my hair. I have had many bad salon experiences and was a little nervous about trying a new place. I even drove forty minutes to get there, I live in Boone county, so it was a slight haul. I will never go anywhere else again, I don't believe they could possibly do a better job. I have gotten raving compliments on my new hair color and he gave me a gorgeous sweeping cut. They use Kerastase products so my hair felt incredibly healthy after the coloring. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for a great, tailored cut, color, anything. They have a highly professional staff, they know what they are doing, VERY EXPERIENCED. I would trust them with any service. Go check them out, you will be SO happy that you did!!! more

I just got the Brazilian keratin treatment at Lush and I can?t tell you how healthy and silky my hair looks....my hair is naturally straight..However after constantly bleaching it ...it looked like a sponge. The process took about 3 hours and I couldn't wash my hair for 4 days after getting it done...Once I washed my hair it was amazing how healthy and shiny my hair was and is every time I wash it....I am so happy I found out about this treatment. more

I have had my hair colored at Lush for years now. I originally went after my hair was a few different shades and very dry to the point where it almost had to be cut off. They saved my hair. Every time I get a compliment on my hair I am reminded of who saved it. I read the terrible reviews about Lush . This so called client is a little bit too knowledgeable about the salon and its products and procedures. Also, by the way this "client" wrote this review lets me know that it is not one of their clients...they are too educated and would know how write a review. This disgruntled "client" sounds more like a bitter ex-employee... It's a shame that people would go out of their way to discredit the work of stylists so professional and knowledgeable about hair. If anyone would ever like to see before and after pictures of my hair, I will gladly e-mail them to you. more

I mean seriously????? Can you people not tell when the owner or the other employees write their own comments?? RIGHT BELOW IS AN EMPLOYEE! I would say well more than half are. EVERYONE START JUST READING ALL THE BAD REVIEWS!!!!!! THEY ARE ALL TRUE! They cant keep a stylists for over a month, the owner is down right awful and only wants your money, they are all FAKE! If you have to reschedule because something important in YOUR life has come up....Dont think for a minute they will understand and work with you. They will either charge you full service no matter WHAT.. Awhile back, My friends mother got in a car accident and she had to cancel last minute to rush to the hospital. Well she was asked to bring proof from a doctor or she would be charged her $200.00 for no services! RIDICULOUS!! To potential customers...DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! OR give them a cent! Watch....very soon, an employee will write something...because to them, a good review always has to be on top...READ ALL THE NEGATIVE ONES! more

This was definitely one of the most pleasurable experiences I have had at a hair salon. The owner and the staff are the most hospitable individuals and ensure you are thoroughly taken care of. They continuously check to ensure you have everything you need. The best part of all; this was the best highlight and haircut I have had in the area. They ask relevant questions to ensure they meet your expectations each step of the way. I brought in a picture of exactly what I wanted and they exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend you book your next hair appointment at Lush. You will not be disappointed!! Pros: Ambiance, Service, Staff, Location, Timeliness more

i'm a 42 year old lady and am a rather glamorous girl at heart. recently, in the last year or so, i've gone almost completely gray. now gray may look fabulous on many women but it didn't on me and i was feeling sad and blue. i needed some dramatic changes, i wanted a "new look" but was a little nervous. Lush was recommended by a very dear friend and i decided to make the leap. i'm relatively new to Indiana and must say the idea of finding a new salon, new stylist AND completely re-vamping my look was nerve-racking. i only wish i could post a picture right now, my hair is GORGEOUS!!!!! i just got home from dinner, with my new hair, and i feel like a revived woman. i feel younger (not that 42 is a drag, 'cause it ain't), vibrant, hot. i had no idea my "old" hair was bringing me down so much. first, the salon is beautiful, a nice mellow atmosphere, tastefully done. second, the receptionist is super friendly, somewhat rare these days in my experience. EVERYONE in the salon is super friendly, it wasn't intimidating at all, sometimes salons can be too trendy for their own good. third, when it comes to color. i went in with salt & pepper, shoulder length hair, some black low-lights in it, a real mess. i left with a super cute, short, BLONDE 'do. my hair is stunning, i didn't think it was possible. i've been blonde three other times in my life and two of those times i ended up having to shave my head. not only is my hair still on my head but it's shiny AND soft. whoo-hoo! i will be a loyal client for as long as i'm in Indianapolis! more

Anyone that has half a brain......DON'T GO HERE!!!! It is the most "Upity" salon I have ever walked into, and not welcoming. I have only been once, but I heard from some co-workers that they can't keep the staff. That ought to tell you something about how it is run by the owner. The color I got was nothing to right home about. The girl that I had hardly spoke and seemed unsure of what she was doing. To say the least, I wanted a VERY sassy trendy cut, and I walked out with a NEWS ANCHOR BOB. It's not terrible, but certainly NOT what I was going for. I thought the parking was TERRIBLE!!!! Save your time and money and keep looking for that perfect salon. Pros: I can't think of one. Cons: Service, staff, parking more

The majority of people rating this salon have got to be employees. This salon could not be more full of itself and rude. I called to reschedule an appointment - and the owner literally hung up on me for doing so. Are you kidding? Is that their idea of customer service? Despite the lame photos of herself with "celebrities" (kato? seriously?) this business owner appears to have no clue about running a business - try getting out of Indianapolis once in awhile. Cons: Rude phone service, condescending stylists more

When I read the reviews for this salon I thought, okay I'll give them a try. I was going out that night and wanted a shampoo and style. I figured if I'm trying a new salon I better not go for the cut or color just yet. Well, let me start by saying the reviews are true. All of the girls in there are really nice. They did a great job on my hair and were very social and friendly. When I told them I was going out that night, they asked if I wanted my make up done, and promised it would look natural. Wow! They did my makeup and I swear by their mineral make up now. I had a really nice time there and I felt great when I left. Not too many places do that for me. Pros: Thanks girls for making me beautiful!!! more

My wife and I are very pleased with the hair treatments we get from Lauren at the Lush Salon. She does an outstanding job on color, styling, and cutting for Cynthia and cuts my hair in the short professional style I prefer. She's the very best, friendly, conscientious, and professional in all of her appointments. If you want to get her talking just ask her about her dogs. Seems like we've known her all of her life. The salon is convenient to other attractions in the surrounding Keystone at the Crossing i.e., shopping, movies, and the various eateries. We frequently have lunch or take in a movie after our appointments more

I have never really gotten my hair cut and styled at a salon, I've always been a "supercuts" kinda girl. I wanted to try something different so I called to make an appt with Lush after reading such great reviews on citysearch. I have NEVER been happier with the way my hair looks! They did exactly what I didn't even know I wanted. I feel GORGEOUS! The salon was really clean and sassy and the staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. I have never been one to write reviews, even if I had a great experience, but I was so ecstatic about my hair I had to share it. Hope this helped! more

I used to be at regular at Lush until two of my favorite hairstylest left. I went back anyway and had someone who dyed my hair darker when I wanted highlights. I wanted to have it fixed there by someone else and the owner said it had to be the same person. So I never went back. The owner also fired one of my best friends. more

I agree with the review below mine here as well. They are fantastic! I had highlights done at Lush and could not be happier. I have really short hair and find that before I came to Lush that I would sometime look like an animal print rug :) . I have used several stylists here because I seem to be a little more impulsive on my hair appointment days. They are always able to accommodate my schedule ( not necessarly with the same stylist, but they are all top notch, so no worries) If you are looking for great highlights, come here! more

I've been going to Lush Hair Studio for about 4 years. They recently recommended that I get the NEW Keratin Hair Straightening Treatment for frizzy hair. It was the one of the best decisions I have made! Everything she told me would happen with my hair has happened. My hair is sleek, straight, silky, and beautiful. The frizz is gone, styling is so fast, no flat iron or round brush! People have asked me if I've had my hair colored, cut, or that I've lost weight. None of these happened. The only thing I've done is the Keratin Treatment! Despite the hot weather and humidity, my hair looks and feels great (No Frizz)! In the past I would have been a giant frizz ball the second I walked outside. It should last 3-5 months depending on months depending on how often I wash my hair. It's a miracle! Thanks and all the staff for making me so happy and for making my hair look SO great! NO MORE FRIZZ EVER AGAIN!! more

I am hard to impress with salons as I am a hairdresser...BUT these girls are great! I got a wonderful cut color and wax for a great price! And they are so friendly and down to earth...I will never go anywhere else!!! Pros: Price, Skill, Talent, Knowlege, value more
