I used to be a Great Clips-er, or a Fiesta-er, or whatever cheapie haircut place I could find at the moment. I also was only getting my hair cut twice, MAYBE three times a year. . . until November of 2007, when I called Blades Salon and got an appointment with Kimberly Smyrnis. I was leaving for Arizona with my boyfriend in 2 days, and we were going to be seeing the dreaded Baby Mama. So of course I needed to look fabulous! All of my friends who promised to take me to a top salon bailed on me, so with time running out, I got frustrated and finally called Blades, which I passed every day on my way to and from work. They're located on Bash St, right off of 82nd, and I'd been eyeing the ""Voted Indy's #1 Salon"" banner they had for weeks, but was too chicken to go in my myself and, as I said before, had never paid more than $10 for a Great Clips cut. So I called and lucky me, Kimberly had had a cancellation that same night, and I was able to get in for a cut. When she was done with my hair, I didn't even recognize it! It was amazing! Technically she just trimmed and re-layered it, but I'm telling you, the difference was noticeable to EVERYONE, even when my hair was up! My hair now has life instead of looking dead all the time, and on top of being a ridiculously GREAT stylist, Kimberly's great to talk to AND she listens! She's cool, friendly, and fun, and I know that when I let her take the reins with my hair it's not going to look like dog poo when she's finished. I've been getting great, regular, cuts and color (which she is also very awesome with) for about a year now, and she does eyebrows too! I absolutely recommend KIMBERLY SMYRNIS, she converted me to REAL salons FOR LIFE! -Ashley V.
Pros: Great atmosphere, friendliness, good deals on products.
