WHITE The Art of Hair

I've had a great time each time. My hair looks better then ever, they carry Kerastase and they treat you great! I've had mimosas? on Saturdays, fresh baked cookies other times. Some of the stylist are expensive but you know the old saying "you get what you pay for" and at Lush you get more. I can't say enough, I've had Lexi and Lauren do my hair and they are both great!!! Pros: Great Parking, Super nice people and great customer service Cons: : Have to drive to Keystone at the Crossing, never thought i would live in the city and get a cut on the NE side. more

Lush is a salon like no other. Every time I have been in there, not only was it fun, but I have walked out with gorgeous hair. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, patient and warm, they listen to your requests and make every effort to follow thru. You don't feel like a 'number' when you are there. The Kerastase product line of shampoos, conditioners, and styling products are easy to use, and live up to their promise. This salon is easily accessible (next to Bonefish Grill), convenient from the city and suburbs, and boasts an upbeat, bright atmosphere making your time comfortable and relaxing. You will want to stay longer! Whether you are seeking a trendy hue or an informal do, no place will accommodate your needs better than this fresh salon. I recommend Lush to anyone who appreciates a down to earth, fun atmosphere, and for those who crave style without the attitude. more

I have been a client of this salon for a year. Before that, I had been on an eternal search for "just the right place?. As soon as I had my first appointment here, I knew I did not need to look any further. Danita has been my stylist and colorist. She is an artist who takes the time to make sure you are 100% satisfied. I am so glad I continued to search and found this place! Everyone is very helpful and all the other staff are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and sincere. This place cares about their clients! I can compare it to those awful other places I had gone to...with $100 haircuts that take 3 minutes, rushed service, the hard sell by the staff for expensive products, long waits, inferior hair products, etc etc. None of that here!! Pros: Highly professional staff Cons: weekend / evening parking sometimes tight more

I can't agree more with ALL THE BAD REVIEWS!!!!!!!!!!! The owner and her staff have got to be the rudest people in the industry. Not to mention, every time you go in you NEVER see a familiar stylist except for the owner and her daughter. That ought to tell everyone that she can't keep her stylist. I have given this place 3 chances, and I will NEVER go back or NEVER recomend this facility. I have traveled all over the U.S. and had my hair styled by the BEST OF THE BEST, and this is not even in the same category!!!!! I can't imagine an owner that tells a potential client to leave because they come in with children. Furthermore, i read that if you have to cancel less than 24 hrs. you are fully charged. MY GOD, THERE ARE EMERGENCIES THAT ARISE!!! There should be a LAW against that!!!!!!!!!! Pros: Not a single thing!!!!!!!! Cons: Everything about the OWNER!!!!!!!! more

I notice that most reviews for Lush are from women so as a male I wanted to give Lexi at Lush a highly deserved compliment. By the way I NEVER do these review things. That said, I was in Itown over the Indy 500 week which my birthday also happened to fall into that time frame as well. My friends at home urged me to get my hair cut at a salon while I was there. I did some research via the internet and Lush stood out as the top contender. I called and scheduled my appointment with Lexi for color and a cut. When I arrived I had a brief consultation and asked her what she would do if given complete artistic control. She explained and I felt comfortable with her vision so I told her to go with it. Of course she inquired about my likes and dislikes of my current cut from the stylist I have been visiting for 10+ yrs (felt a bit like I was cheating). Oh well. She started with the color. She chose a shade darker which was really great and very vibrant (nice chocolate brown). She then continued with the cut which more attention, detail and precision was given as if she were fine tuning some antique instrument. I have to say it was truly amazing. She did things to my hair I have never seen done. The outcome was a masterpiece which did take 2 1/2 hours. So be sure to plan your time accordingly. Everyone did comment on how great my hair looked even weeks after when it began to grow out. Go ahead make an appointment at Lush you will not regret it. Pros: Right in the middle of Keystone at the Crossing where all the action is Cons: Takes a bit of time to get great color and a great haircut (2 1/2) hrs so plan accordingly more

I turned 52 last year and gave myself the present I always wanted: long, straight, beautiful, shiny hair--and lots of it. Within hours they turned me from an average-looking middle-aged mom with 3 kids into a cool looking woman that appeared at least 10 years younger. And that was just the beginning. I have since lost 10 pounds and gained a ton of confidence. I just love my hair and the way it looks so natural--whether I curl it with hot rollers, use a curling iron, or use a straightening iron to give that sleek shiny straight look, it always looks like my own hair--only way better. Without extensions my normal hair will, at best, grow to my shoulders. It's always been thin and basically lifeless. The extensions have not damaged my hair either. I researched online before I got the extensions. Be sure your stylist is in a certified salon and is a certified extension stylist or you may not be getting the amount or quality of extensions you are paying for. Actually I tried "weft" extensions first, which were put on at another salon because I thought they would be less expensive. My mistake. Four weeks later half of them had fallen out, and my daughter took the other half out with Wesson oil. The next day I went to Lush and they put in their bonded extensions. That was 6 months ago and I just went back yesterday for their volumizing which puts the volume back in. They gives you options up front, (volumizing or full head of hair), they give you straight answers on how to care for your extensions and how long the extensions will last. In addition to color choices, They have different thicknesses of hair in straight, wavy, or curly hair. I truly can't recommend them enough. more

OMG - what this woman can do!! I also have the very fine hair and have been unable to grow it long because it always starts splitting once it reaches my shoulders. I was just about to give up the vision of me with long flowing locks and then I found Danita at Lush Salon. FABULOUS!!! I believe some people can learn this trade, but I feel that Danita was born with it in her genes. She goes above being able to make your hair look the way you want it to, she can make it look better than you thought it ever could. I love my hair extensions and everyone has told me that they would have never known if they hadn't seen me prior to getting them. I have had so many compliments on both the cut and the absolutely phenomenal job she did on blending my colors. Thank you Danita - you are stuck with me for life!!! Pros: One word - UNBELIEVABLE!! Cons: Can't think of any more

I have read a ton of reviews about Lauren Melvin?s amazing work on Citysearch and always thought about giving her a try, but always ended up going back to my comfort zone with a stylist who I have been unhappy with for years. Until I read her wonderful write up in the Indianapolis Star and realized it was time. I made an appointment and started telling my friends about my decision. Funny how word of mouth works because one of my friends (whose hair I love) already goes to Lauren. After getting my hair cut and colored I can see why all the buzz. Now there are two of us in our group of friends who have radiating hair. I sure am glad I gave her a try. I will definitely return! more

Based on rave reviews of Danita White and Lush in Citysearch, I called and scheduled an appointment for a highlight and cut. I'm so glad that I did. Danita was a pleasure to meet. She was friendly, upbeat and very professional. She made me feel comfortable and really understood my frustration with my previous hair color experiences. My friends told me their high standards and high demand for employment by stylists have purged less talented stylists to move to salons that do not need edgy or trendy staff. Danita consulted with me and had suggestions that she felt would improve my color and give me what I was hoping to achieve. Well, it worked. It has been over a month and my hair color is rich, shiny and outstanding. She "updated" my cut but still stayed within my styling capabilities and it has been terrific. The cut is very manageable for me and my husband really likes it and I LOVE it. Thanks Danita, I'll be seeing you again. Cherie Pros: No complaints at all!! more

This salon is a textbook example of the horrible stereotype that has been given to successful salons. LUSH has earned it's reputation by Danita White & her spawn. She has shown to be entirely self absorbed & impossible to work for clearly by the rate at which great stylists come and quickly go. Danita has tried to claim all clients as "property of LUSH" and has never allowed any information to past stylists whereabouts to loyal clients. I will not put my money in that pocket or fund the silver spooned child that clearly is the only stylist that has stayed at LUSH. more

Jenna came highly?no?VERY highly recommended by several of my friends, and after seeing the amazing job she did for the bride and bridal party at a wedding I recently attended, I knew I wanted a turn in her chair. I knew going there that she was good...but I was still amazed at just how much I loved my new cut. She knew just how to cut it, style it and what products to use to give it the exact look I wanted. She even took the time to show me how to style it myself at home using the hair dryer and round brush. I am SO thrilled that I finally found a stylist that listens to what I want, knows how to get the look I'm after and then puts an extra special something in there that makes you LOVE your hair again! I already booked my second appointment. She's a very talented stylist and it's obvious that she loves what she does. It was a pleasure and I can't wait to do it again! Thank you Jenna!!!!! Pros: Great place, great stylist, great personality...all around fantastic experience. Cons: Can't think of one thing more

Highly recommend this place! Went to see Emily after reading positive reviews and have to say, they are true. She's fabulous and so is Lexi. My hair was in dire need after having been on medication for months on end. She took the time to listen and gave me a semi-permanent color (which I LOVE!) and some highlights (which I also LOVE!). Both of them add to the wonderful haircut! Have received lots of great compliments! Will definitely keep coming back and refer friends as well. Enjoy the experience, you'll look amazing afterward! Pros: Service, Experience, Parking, Atmosphere more

I have never in my life seen such unprofessionalism! My mother and I had been going there for quite sometime. They were normally decent and did a pretty good job although expensive. We went in one more time and we will NEVER go back again. First of all they were rude to my guests but Lauren turned my hair ORANGE! like Hayley from Paramore color. I told her i wanted DIRTY BLONDE AND I GOT ORANGE! I could have done a better job myself. Not only did she get my color wrong but she was so rough with my hair my hair was falling out for days after. She doesnt even know what colors to use she has to ask her mother! My mother went in and got a basic cut and highlight. Now you would think this would be maybe $200 for the both of us i mean it was a cut/highlight and a cut/all over color. NO IT WAS $600!!!!!!! I left crying because my hair looked absolutly AWFUL! I went to Sally's the next day and bought cheap color so that I could atleast be seen in public! Thank goodness for people like Lacy at SPLASH hair salon and Alexis at VILLAGIO! They made my hair look amazing after that disaster! 5 TREATMENTS OF PROF. CONDITIONING AND COLORING LATER!!! my hair looks 92834923849328 zillion times better! I could have bought hair extensions for the price I payed to have Lauren mess up my hair! WARNING: DO NOT GO TO LUSH! unless youre willing to pay car payments on your hair to have it wrecked! Pros: The Salon itself is decent Cons: the people, the service, their skills, and price are terrrrrrrible! more

I was surprised to see the last reviews for Lauren--MY experience was fantastic--I am PLEASED with both my cut and color. I found Lush by searching "salons specializing in trendy cuts". I spoke to the receptionist who was very polite. I was looking to make a drastic change (drastic for me anyway) and I shared my thoughts with her and she quickly and confidently recommended someone for the job. When I got there, the customer service was awesome. They offered me a beverage and my stylist wasn't running behind which I hate about most places I have had my hair done. Lauren was great. She was friendly and we seemed to have some common personality traits. I consider getting my hair done part of "my time" and I like to relax and enjoy myself. I usually like to read and although we chatted, she also gave me some time to myself to read my book and I appreciated that. Like one of the last reviewers I am pretty particular about my hair. This is THE HAPPIEST I have been in a VERY long time. Lauren listened to my needs, my cut is adorable and easy to maintain, and the color is great. I was shocked by the cost because I have paid MUCH, MUCH more for work that I haven't been near as pleased with. I LOVE my new cut and it is getting rave reviews so far, which is nice. I have already been asked several times about the salon and stylist and have certainly shared Laurens name with everyone who has asked. She has been doing hair over three years and traveled all over the country to advanced cutting academies, runway hair fashion shows and photo shoots for several national magazines. To the last reviewers--I would certainly take the salon up on its guarantee. They gave me a flier explaining their desire for customer satisfaction--not all salons do this--and they even called to be sure I was happy! I think they mean it when they say they want you to be satisfied!! Pros: great customer sevice, reasonable pricing Cons: none more

"Stunning!!!" That was the word my friends and family used to describe the custom, multidimensional color and haircut designed for me by the stylists at Lush. From start to finish my experience was a joy. On my first visit they sat down with me to discuss my needs and the ultimate direction I wanted my hair to go. I told them what I wanted, they told me what would work best and the rest is history. They went to work and created a gorgeous custom red haircolor that stops people in their tracks. The result was a versatile haircut that lays perfectly in its naturally curly state and looks truly exquisite when straight. As if that was not enough, they then educated me on caring for my hair and what products would work best but never pressured me into buying. Definitely worth every penny! Thanks again for everything.! more

Thank you soo much for posting where you found Alexis!! I have not been able to go to LUSH since she left. She is amazing!! I am soo happy she doesnt work there anymore. Like someone said two posts down, I will never recommend this place to ANYONE. It is just a bunch of catty women who could careless about their clients and think they live in Beverly Hills and are mistaken. A salon is supposed to be a fun, loud, trendy, friendly atmosphere. You wont find that at LUSH. And yes, you are right the owners daughter is just out of highschool and messed my girlfriends hair up as well. She is not a top stylist. If you like uptight, stuck up women then I would recommend this place. Pros: nothing Cons: everything more

I was searching for a new place to have my hair colored. I found Citysearch and then saw Lush. Everyone was so impressed that I thought I would try them. I was nervous going to someone new. The salon has hired several new stylists from both New York and Los Angeles that bring with them a fresh cutting edge style to Indianapolis. Emily from California gave me her undivided attention and discussed how to cut my hair and what she envisioned when I came back to get my hair colored. I loved my hair cut but my color is what really impressed me. I loved it. The highlights and lowlights really complimented my face. She knows what she is doing and her recommendations for me personally was right on the money. She also discussed with me how much it would cost right up front so there were no surprises. She did a wonderful job better than I where I had been getting my hair colored and cut and for less than what I had been paying. They also are the only salon in Indiana that offers the new Brazilian Keratin Treatment for hair smoothing. I watched a woman with a huge curly head of hair leave with beautiful flat hair. I would definitely be going back and would recommend them for those who would like a personal feel when getting your hair done. Pros: Private Salon, Friendly atmosphere, great parking more

I found Alexis!! she is working at Villaggio Day Spa in Fishers. I like it there a lot better than Lush. The stylists are VERY friendly and knowledgable and the management works well with the customer. Way to move on Alexis! more

I was going to LUSH for a while and I have never been happier with my color. My stylist left on maternity leave and I had learned she was not returning so I was put with another stylist and had the worst experience EVER! Not only did she do a terrible job, she was very rough with my head and to top it off she talked about herself and stared at herself the entire time. Then I found out she hasn't even been out of high school for 1 year...which means she obviously doesnt have much experience doing hair. It especially concerned me since the owner assured me Lauren was one of the top stylists. I have a girlfriend that went to her as well and she also had a bad experience. I will never go back and encourage others not to as well. I had heard many horror stories about the owner and the girls that work there and I have realized that they are all true!!!! If anyone knows where Alexis has gone please post it....she is absolutely amazing and my hair needs her desperately!!!!! Cons: overpriced more
