Lush The Art of Hair

From the minute I called to schedule my appointment to the second I walked out the door and everyone wished me a great day, my experience here was pleasant and satisfying. Might be the friendliest upscale salon in Indianapolis. Everyone here smiles and seems to love working together and my hair was great. When I was in for a cut and highlight, there were some local business VIPs getting services and the staff gives everyone the same VIP treatment but without any kind of stuck up attitude. Great combination of customer service, style and skill and the cost was more than reasonable when compared to other top salons.

My sister recently got her hair cut and colored at Lush salon. After following the salons instructions of not washing her hair but a few times a week, literally twice, the coloring came out. And it was not a cheap experience - $165. They called to follow up on her first visit and she mentioned the coloring problems. The guy who called then got defensive and suggested she didn't know how to care for her hair and told her she had to use their products to keep this from happening - something that was not mentioned when she was in the salon. Prior to leaving the salon (before she is unhappy), they schedule her next appointment. BUT because of the above phone conversation and that she was not happy, she called and canceled it. Then the day of the appt (that she canceled), LUSH called to inform her that she was a 'no call, no show' and she would be charged $45 for not showing up to her appt. She called to complain about this, and they said 'sorry, we don't have any record of you cancelling.' Lucky for her she called to cancel from work and they record ALL calls and her bank is currently disputing the UNAPPROVED charges. Summary - Horrible customer service and bad buisness practices.

Pros: They give you wine.

Cons: Coloring not good and bad curstomer service.

I love Lush Salon. I got my hair done by Kiley. She cut my hair so it looks great styled or unstyled ! My cut included a scalp treatment which I felt helped the overall health of my hair and scalp. The staff is friendly and they don't push products on your like other salons. I tried some of their products which I'm now in love with! You get what you pay for if not more.

Pros: Skill, Ambience, Products

Cons: Parking

Recently stopped into Lush for a hair consultation. I spoke with Amanda who gave me options for my high-maintenance, short, colored hair. Happy with the creative input and options, I got booked same day. Quick to realize my needs, she textured and toned my short light hair, eliminating brassiness and adding depth. Suggested product for my hair and while informative to benefits, never pushy to buy. Amanda loves what he does. Seems genuinely interested in your hair suiting your lifestyle, not just looking great when you leave the salon. She wants to see your hair "lived-in" and wants clients to return to adjust anything that isn?t jiving with you. I trusted my hair in hers hands. Moved to Indy 6 months ago, nice to know i can quit bouncing between mediocre salons and barbershops. She is fantastic and makes a gal feel beautiful. Thanks!

I can rate the talent, selection of products, and atmosphere a 10 at Lush. What has been the most touching experience about this salon are the people. Danita has gone above and beyond her talents as a stylist, and has influenced confidence and provided support to both my daughter and I. Recently I almost lost my daughter in a head on collision. She has suffered severe facial injuries, and now works on mind over matter to heal. The emotion, strength and determination that she and our entire family have gone through have been difficult. Danita without any hesitation has supported us and has made us feel good about ourselves. We've never experienced such amazing customer service. This is a perfect example of when people's true colors shine during hard times. Thank you Danita and your entire team for bringing our inner beauty out. Susan Langston

Be forewarned that if you mix up the date or forget an appointment, Lush will charge you full price unless you cancel 24 hours in advance. (I was never informed of this policy, orally or in writing.) This might be somewhat palatable if their staff called a day ahead with a reminder; but, as they so arrogantly told me (and I quote), ?you get a card with an appointment date on it, and we are too special to give you any additional reminders.?

Not only is their attitude supercilious and rude, it lacks business sense (contrary to their claim, doctor?s offices and other salons DO call you with reminders). I?ve been to some of the hottest salons in London, Paris, and New York: all called in advance, and their staffs were courteous and professional ? not to mention infinitely more talented.

Moreover, Lush has previously messed up my appointment ? without apologizing. I, however, do apologize for the missed appointment, but will never recommend this ?overblown? and mediocre salon ? so mistakenly full of its own importance ? to anyone.

Posted 11/16/06

I just got a call that Kylie is gone! She was my fourth stylist there, but I loved her! She did a great job with my cut and color!! Does anyone know where she went????

Posted 11/14/06

I went in to Lush last weekend to try something new with my hair. If only you could see a before and after picture! Spectacular results! I have strangers asking who does my hair. I could not have asked for better results. My hair was over bleached from the last salon I used, so Danita color corrected it and than used a 3 step damage control system by Euphora! That is a MIRACLE PRODUCT! I thought I would have to shave my head and start over if I ever wanted it to be healthy again. I got the Euphora for home use!! It is a little more costly than your Wal-Mart shampoo but it is SOOOO worth it if you want noticeably healthier hair! She is absolutely fantastic and I see why see is the top rated stylist in Indianapolis; she has the ability to make anyone's hair look fabulous. If you are at all unhappy with your hair, you should go and see Danita at Lush!

Pros: Friendly employees, Expertise, Continuous Training

Posted 11/06/06

I love this salon! Everytime I go in, they make me feel like I'm their favorte client. (I have a feeling all their clients feel the same way!) The atmoshere is fun and professional, the stylists cute and friendly, and the parking is plentiful. The inside of the salon is very upscale, yet warm and comfortable. What's not to like??? Finally, a business who understands what customer service is. This is the first salon I've ever been to where I leave the salon with the cut I described, instead of a cookie cutter cut a stylist was comfortable with. Highly recmnd!!!

Posted 11/05/06

I have had my hair cut here more than once and have been happy with it every time. They are professional and are excellent at translating your haircut request into a cut that is appropriate for your particular hair texture. They are creative and are excellent at making creative suggestions. They are into haircuts not "hairdos," so if you are looking for someone to tease and back comb your hair, this is not the place. I highly recommend this salon.

Pros: Valet parking, tranquil salon

Posted 11/01/06

An all around great place to relax and get "BEA-utiful". The ladies are great and treat everyone with the same amount of respect and give everyone equally wonderful treatment. Jessica does my hair and she is a girl full of life and her talent is amazing. Keep up the good work ladies you have a lifetime client.

Posted 10/26/06

Danita is the best stylist and she has managed to create a salon that is beautiful, tranquil, and luxurious. I look forward to every visit, not just to walk out with beautiful hair, but to have a few hours of pure pampering and relaxation. I have gone to Danita for years and she never fails to impress me with the new techniques and services she offers. Indy is lucky to have her!

Pros: Best cut, color, style

Posted 10/25/06

I am trying to locate Alyssa from Lush.
She left Lush before I could get her last name or her new place of business.
I still will go to Lush, but wanted to thank Alyssa for her great work.
She was the best stylist I have had in a long time.
Does anyone know where I might reach her?
Thanks!

Pros: great atmosphere, professional

Cons: My stylist left with no forwarding info.

Posted 10/24/06

Lush is my new favorite salon. I have come to expect high quality, great customer service, and professionalism and Lush has lived up to that reputation. The staff, stylists, and even the salon itself carried a perfect blend of classy yet cozy. My stylist, Amanda Piper, was incredibly nice, impressively knowledgeable, and completely open to hearing what I wanted in a hair cut. She also made some great suggestions and I am absolutely in love with my new hair style. I will definitely pay another visit when it's time for a new hair style and some pampering. If you are looking for a salon with a great location, convenient parking, high quality service, and great style, I recommend Lush.

Pros: The latest hair trends are born here!

Cons: Not open 24 hours!

Posted 10/12/06

I am a new client to Lush and saw Sheila earlier this week for highlights, cut, and blowdry. . . my stylist who I had been going to for 14 years recently moved and I was petrified to start seeing a new stylist. Nevertheless, a friend of mine went to Lush and was very happy and I loved my friend's hair so I figured Id take a chance. Sheila consulted with me very thoroughly before she began and she was so adorable and seemed very confident and knowledgeable! After our consultation I was more at ease and felt that I had made the right decision. I was so thrilled with the outcome of my hair - she nailed it right on! Not only did the color look amazing but her cut was fabulous and the blowdry was even better!! The price was just right in comparison to what mid to upscale salons charge and I was comfortable paying for the wonderful service I received. As far as the salon goes . . . it was fun and friendly. Great lively music and smiling staff! I highly recommend Lush, especially Sheila!! (Honestly Im not quite sure why the reviewer earlier had such issues) good luck everyone!

Pros: Talented women, Euphora Shampoos, Valet Parking

Cons: Appointment times full up FAST!

Posted 10/02/06

I thought this place definitely lived up to its hype. Though I think it is better for women than men, it has a spirit and quality that ranks it as one of the best in Indy.

Pros: Experienced staff, pampered, friendly hairdresser

Cons: Atmosphere a little stuffy

Posted 10/01/06

Like everyone else, I am always relatively unsatisfied with my cut/color after I leave a salon. My hair is a very dark brown, and highlights are generally either too dark or too brassy. I tend to change stylists after one or two visits because of this problem, but no more! I've finally found an amazing salon and Jessica was absolutely wonderful - so incredibly patient with my indecisiveness and my insistence on going a shade lighter than recommended. (I ended up with a "light tobacco" gold which is a caramel-like shade of brown with hints of honey.) Because my hair was previously colored, She applied two different colors so that the new growth wouldn't be darker than the ends. I would have been an incredibly pleased client with just the color, but she gave me a gorgeous cut as well. I have straight hair which is quite thick as well, which usually means that it's weighed down into a boring flat style. However, Jessica worked her magic and took out all of the heaviness while leaving long layers that translate into movement and body. I am just absolutely thrilled with both the cut and color that I received, not to mention the very reasonable price ($130 for 2.5 hours of work). I've been to many different salons ranging from SuperCuts to Salon Ishi in NY but have never gotten such genuinely special and personalized service as today. Thank you Lush, thank you Jessica!

Pros: Attentive and personalized service, reasonable value, professional yet friendly stylists

Cons: I honestly cannot think of a drawback at this time

Posted 09/24/06

Lush Hair Salon makes clients feel really special! The salon's decor is charming and I really appreciate the very friendly and professional staff. I stay loyal to Danita White, because she works magic with hair extensions! She has an extremely impressive portfolio, including training and working with the masters of "Great Lengths" extensions in Manhattan. Before moving to Indy, I used to model for students at Antenna. Danita has been doing my hair for about 18 months and she continues to give me a sustainable image every couple of months. Ive had variations of styles ranging from long and wavy, to shoulder length bouncy curls. The extensions are carefully and quickly added to my hair using a sophisticated technique and they usually last for about 12 weeks (depending on your length and/or texture). Intermediate appointments are well worth it because professional maintenance really refreshes the image. She uses superior hair care products to protect my own hair. Whats truly amazing is the color match; you simply cannot tell the difference between my hair and the extensions! I recommend Danita and her team to anyone who wants natural looking glamour. She simply knows her stuff!

Posted 08/30/06

If you haven't been happy with your hair and have decided it's time to get a fabulous cut and color, Lush is your place and Danita (the owner) is your woman! She took my average over-layered cut and washed out color that were doing absolutely nothing for me and turned it into something I'm actually proud to have on my head. She really knows hair, she looked at my face, hair texture, and style and designed something that would make my fine hair look thicker, my round face look thinner AND isn't too short. As for color, she managed to take my hair (with its inescapable tendency towards brassiness) and make it a beautiful chocolate color that flattered my skin and eyes with . . . wait for it . . . . NO trace of red! How, I ask? Hair magic!

The salon itself is hip and cool without taking itself too seriously and everyone there is committed to getting you celebrity style without celebrity attitude. Icing on the cake: I spent $120 for the whole shebang (cut AND color, blowdry, style). I've spent 3x as much in a Carmel salon for a cut I've liked half as well.

Pros: Valet Parking, Pricing, Ambiance

Posted 08/24/06

Trying a new hair colorist is frightening -- especially when you are blonde or want to go blonde. My city search results brought up Lush salon as one of the best in Indianapolis for color and color correction so I gave it a try. I had my hair colored and cut here today and I love it! I just moved here and finding a new stylist has been more difficult than I ever imagined. I just want to say the overall experience was great, very professional and prices way LOWER than New York!! I'll definitely be back! They gave me EXACTLY the lighter blonde I wanted with just the right amount of subtle lowlights. I have been to Fred Segal, Jose Eber, and a million other high end (high priced) salons and have NEVER walked out feeling satisfied. My first experience here was amazing and I am hooked.

Posted 08/23/06

DO NOT go to LUSH for Japanese Hair Straitening. Ive done this procedure before in NY and it worked beautifully! I had it done at Lush and it didn't work at all, my hair was virtually the same after the treatment, curly not at all strait. I told them about my disappointment and wasnt treated well. They offered to do it again after I complained. The second time still didnt work and my hair was still very curly. After I notified them, they basically said it was my fault and I did something wrong. I was amazed and surprised at their lack of customer service. I have given this salon a lot of business through friends and myself. Because of their rudeness and unwillingness to fix what they obviously did wrong has left me with a sour taste. I will not go back to this salon.

Pros: decorated well, easy parking

Cons: poor customer service and unskilled staff concerning Yuko.

Posted 08/23/06

I have to agree with the last review- Danita is amazing! I say this at the risk of making it impossible to get an appointment with her though :( She really gave me the best haircut of my life and inspired me to actually get my haircut more than twice a year because of how great it looked once she was done. I truly have never gotten as many compliments on my hair as I did after my last cut. She also does a fantastic blowout, so I usually plan my haircuts on days when I have somewhere to go or someone to impress! I highly, highly recommend this salon, and Danita in particular.

Pros: talented stylists, relaxed atmosphere, affordable price

Posted 08/16/06

I called the salon at 11:30 am on a Saturday as a first time client and was able to get an appointment with Amber at 1:00 pm that same day. I had not cut my long and very thick, rather unruly hair in a year and I can honestly say she gave me one of the best cuts I've ever had in my life. She seemed to intuit my needs and understood exactly what I wanted, even though I wasn't entirely sure what that was until she was finished.

I really can't conceive of a better cut for the money--but it would also stand up against anything twice as expensive, which is what I'm used to.

Having a great haircut is the best!

Pros: professional, affortable, experienced

Posted 08/16/06

Ok Ladies....I know we all love a great blowout! For years I have been heading up to Carmel once or twice a week to have my hair styled. NOT ANYMORE!!! I was having lunch with a friend who had the most amazing hair. I asked her who styled it, and she quicky said Alyssa at Lush Salon....in Castleton! I called during our lunch and made an apointment for the following Saturday. As I arrived, I was greeted by the friendliest front desk I have seen in a while. This Salon is Amazing! So I asked the receptionist who Alyssa was and she pointed over to her. Alyssa quickly introduced herself. She was so friendly and seemed truly happy to be there. As I sat down, I explained to her that I had an event to go to that night and I wanted my hair to be something with lots of volume and movement ...something that would turn heads!! She smiled and said she knew exactly what to do. Off I went for the most amazing shampoo and head message ever!! As Alyssa began her magic, I could tell by the way she worked that she knew what she was doing. Within 30 minutes she was done. Ladies, she had me ready to walk down a Red Carpet!! It was absolutely AMAZING!! More than I could have asked for! As I left, I felt ABSOLUTELY beautiful!!! I had more compliments that night than I have ever had before. Alyssa, thank you so much for you work!! You definitely have a new client!!! You made my night! You are the Master of Blowouts!!!!

Pros: Valet Parking. Coffee Bar

Posted 08/07/06

I have been to a million colorists/stylists, as I frequently go from blonde to brunette and back. A color correction visit to Lush was one of my best salon experiences I have ever had. I came to them with deadened bottle-black hair and said "make me blonde again!" They explained to me the reality of the situation, which was that I needed to lighten my hair in stages to save what was left of my highly-stressed hair. They instinctively knew that the in-between color would not be my ideal, so they was very clear about the blondest result we could get from our initial process. Not only did they do great work, but they were extremely patient with me and went above and beyond what any hairdresser would have done to make me feel comfortable and satisfied. I'll be back! 'Big "thanks" to everyone at Lush!

Pros: Excellent knowledge of hair chemistry

Posted 07/21/06

Seeing Amanda at Lush Salon was the best experience I have EVER had in a salon! She is an incredible stylist and colorist. Her personality is terrific! No attitude and really sweet. She is very talented. All the stylists in the salon seemed this way--there was no pretension, just nice, incredibly talented people. The salon itself is gorgeous, too. She stayed until 10 PM on a Thursday to get my hair colored, highlighted, and cut. Also, she used a new technique for both my highlights and cut that has given me THE BEST color I've ever had. By 11 am today, 7 people have already complimented me on my hair. All the other women that were getting their hair done at the same time left with gorgeous, gorgeous hair. This is by far the best experience I've ever had at a salon!

Pros: evening appoinments, fresh coffee, valet parking

Cons: none

Posted 07/21/06

I was pleased to have the opportunity to book an appointment for color with Lush. This decision was prompted by my growing boredom - the usual routine found in hair salon scenes in around Indianapolis or upscale Carmel- the ongoing cloning of color and cuts. After a brief analysis and conversation, we envisioned just what was necessary to alter my dull hair and old style. The end result was a more dimensional color, a fabulous new cut to magically take my baby fine hair to cutting-edge level! A friendly staff, and stylists are attentive to customers, making it an unpretentious place to be. Hours flexible for [us] busy people; and a full service salon for one-stopping: My recent experience will ensure both my return and referrals! Saturdays are busiest, so book an appointment, early!

Pros: Positive energy

Posted 07/01/06

My hair is very fine and thin. As a result, I could never get it to grow past a certain point. I had my first appointment with Sheila 3 weeks ago, and she did an amazing job on my color. It was EXACTLY what I wanted, but had not been able to achieve after repeated attempts at another salon. Yesterday I had extensions put in for the first time. Once again, she gave me EXACTLY the look I wanted. For the first time in my life I have long, thick hair...and it looks natural! I'm so thankful to have finally found the perfect salon. The atmosphere at Lush Salon is fun, yet professional; and the entire staff could not have been nicer.

Pros: Valet Parking, Consultation, Coffee Bar

Posted 05/29/06

This review is a week overdue but you should know that this place is awesome!
It's not New York, thank God! None of that "Hi, I'm the professional here so I'll tell you what's best" load of crap. Danita gave me awesome highlights! I told her what my style's like and what I'm going for and she pieced it together. She and her staff are super friendly people and actually LISTEN to you! They're also VERY accommodating! Their last appointment is usually 6pm, but I went in at 7 pm on a FRIDAY evening and stayed there till 9pm! Then they got my hair party ready and I was good to go! If you want down to earth people in a zen-like atmosphere who are friendly, check out Lush!

Pros: Venue, Price, Results

Posted 05/29/06

A sublime place for the ladies (gentlemen too) to have your hair tended to. The ladies who work here are obvious beneficiaries of each others arts. My friend Jim commented: "It's an extraordinary collection of feminine beauty in one place." But there's more than outer beauty here; each of the ladies is a distinct and delightful personality. I've had a chance to observe and listen to the girls for six months since I've been coming here. My distinct impression is they are taking care of the needs of their friends, not mere customers. Their main goal is for you to be pleased with the results and will do all they know to achieve that result. The ladies keep up with the latest styles and trends by attending hair dresser conventions regularly. Finally, you'll always hear the sound of laughter in Lush. You are guaranteed to leave in a great mood!

Pros: Very clean, Lot's of windows, Great atmosphere

Posted 05/10/06

I love this salon. The atmosphere and decor is very tasteful and unique. The Receptionist, John Mark, is the friendliest and most helpful person you could imagine, He's always got a smile on his face. I followed my hair stylist, Danita, from her previous work site, just because I know how creative, skilled and wonderful she has treated me. All of her hair stylists are professionals, who attend hair shows, continue to improve their skills and listen to the client. I also have Sheila style my hair and she is amazingly creative with me. I don't even have to give her instructions, just let her do what she thinks would be most attractive. I have never been disappointed.

It's worth the drive from wherever you live to check out Lush salon and her staff.

Pros: Staff, Location, Attitude

Posted 05/03/06

I've been getting my hair cut and colored by Danita White for a few years now and I couldn't imagine going to any other stylist or any other salon. I get so many compliments on my hair now and every time I just tell them.. go to LUSH-they are the best. All the stylists at LUSH are so talented and really are the best at what they do. I have never been dissatisfied with my experience there.

Everytime I leave LUSH I walk out the door feeling like a movie star. Danita makes me feel so glamourous!! I love my hair!

Posted 04/23/06

While living in London in the late-90's, I had a wonderful hairstylist at John Frieda's salon. I moved to Indiana in 2005 and began my search for a wonderful hairstylist here. I found Lush Salon on Citysearch. I went to the website, read the stylists' bios and made an appointment.

I couldn't be happier with the results of my visit and the Lush staff! I've entered into the 50's decade of my life and wanted a new look to enhance my experience and wisdom. The stylists are quiet, yet assured in their knowledge, talent and skill in revealing the best of me and my hair.

Thank you!

Pros: staff, cost, locale

Posted 04/20/06

Yes, I found a stylist that can offer me the quality of services I am accustom to at a salon. Danita is a full-service stylist. She always gives me fabulous color and highlights followed by a "just stepped out of a salon - I'm worth it" blowout to make-up and waxing - she does it all! I am extremely particular about how my highlights look and Danita always does meticulous work. When I really want to go sassy I ask her to spice it up with her latest hot iron or pin curl tricks! If you want your man's FULL saluting attention ask for the vacationmickie special!

Pros: location, price, products

Posted 04/14/06

I have been visiting Lush Salon for hairstyling and color for some time, and have never had anything remotely resembling a bad experience. The atmosphere is great, and the prices reasonable.

The staff goes out of their way to welcome you and make you feel comfortable, offering refreshment as soon as you arrive. I have never had a long wait.

I am extremely happy with Carissa who seems to know exactly what works for me. I ask her for suggestions on different things to try with my hair, and her suggestions are always perfect! She takes the time to show me how to maintain the style and deal with problem areas. I have total confidence and her helpfulness and friendly personality have made every visit to Lush a pleasure. I wouldnt consider going anywhere else.

Pros: Customer friendly, relaxing atmosphere, Highly Recommended

Posted 04/14/06

Sheila not only salvaged my poor brittle locks, but educated me on what I could do to protect them. She took into account that I work outdoors all year round and have curly hair that likes to frizz and tangle. The other really cool thing that she did was to give it a cut that made use of what nature had given. After years of going to salons only to have my hair tortured by people trying to make it do things that it just was not meant to do, I am blessed to have started working with her.

Pros: Shampoos, Styling, Help

Posted 04/11/06

I recently tried Lush after a co-worker suggested that I needed to give these guys a try since I was paying way too much for my current highlight and cut. Not to mention waiting for the haircutter to take me once my color was completed by another stylist. This place without a doubt has the most relaxing and professional feel I have ever encountered. I saw Carissa for everything and the color far exceeded my expectations given my track record with those departmental salons. I totally love my hair and the color is much more interesting and hip. All of the stylist there are friendly and without attitude and there was a general feeling of people having fun and enjoying their experience. I LOVE MY HAIR!!!!!!

Pros: Hospitality, Great Colorist, My Color

Posted 04/11/06

This place is fabulous! I moved here a year ago and stumbled upon it by accident and I will never go anywhere else in the area for my salon needs! The staff is very friendly and talented. They are also very attentive to your needs. They do what YOU want, not what they want. Watching the hairstylists do their work is fascinating....such skill and expertise. The location is fabulous. The products they sell (which includes Prive) are the best. The prices are competitive - it's worth every penny.

Pros: relaxing atmosphere, talented staff, fast service

Posted 04/10/06

"I have never allowed anyone to color my hair since Danita...& that was about 10 years ago! Even when I lived in Italy, I still came back on occation to Indy to get it done--she's absolutely the best! Her creative usage of color (low-lights, high-lights, all placed perfectly) & the amazing results speak volumes! "She's not cheap but well worth it if you want your hair done right." Plus, I have a great time while I'm there, and all the stares & compliments I undoubtedly receive after my splurge have me feeling like a goddess! (gawd, I need to make a new appt!)"

Pros: Talent, Experience, Atmosphere

Posted 03/31/06

I was referred to Danita White the owner of Lush by a friend who got his haircut by her. He raved highly about her & it was perfect timing because my stylist of many years just moved & I was in search of a new salon & stylist. I dont know about the rest of the stylists at Lush, but Danita was fantastic. She is very low key and down to earth, listens to what you say you want & is technically one of the best stylist Ive come across. I have never walked out of a salon so happy with my hair. Usually I have to give it weeks before I start liking it. Danita is great with curly hair.
The salon is mellow & not pretentious. The staff is very professional, & they carry great products. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a wonderful stylist

Pros: cuts, products, location

Posted 03/30/06

"Super sexy" is what I've been told of my new hair style. Easy to mantain and even looks great when I wake up. My cut has subtle bangs that fall in just the right places in front of my eyes. I know it was done on purpose, based on my face shape, but it sure looks unintentional and natural. And the layers make my hair move in ways I've never had it before. I feel like I never want this cut to grow out. I'll be sure to go back again. I also got a scalp massage with my shampoo and I do feel it made a difference in my hair's health. Feels and looks great.

Posted 03/28/06

This salon is great for both great cuts/styles and expert color. Very hard to get both within a reasonable price. Here you got it!! Do not expect a pretentious atomosphere, but do expect a chic salon with lively and entertaining stylists. GREAT PROFESSIONALS. Never had a bad cut and always outstanding color.

Pros: Price, Expertice, Style

Posted 03/28/06

Lush is amazing! The salon has online reservations, which is really nice. The location is convenient and the atmosphere in the salon is very relaxing. It's just a treat sitting in there. There is absolutely no "attitude" in this place. I felt very comfortable, like I was in my own home almost. The prices are very reasonable as well. My stylist is Carissa and she is so nice and helpful. She really listened to what I wanted and only wanted to give me a style and color that I was comfortable with. I'm sure the other stylists are excellent as well. I have to say it was one of the most pleasant experiences I've ever had in a salon. When I left, I really was thrilled with the results, and amazed at how reasonable the prices were for the service I received. I can't imagine going anywhere else!

Pros: Location, Pricing, Reputation

Posted 03/24/06

My first review ever- Lush is the best, hands down. After moving to Chicago I actually drive back here every 6 weeks to get my hair cut and colored. That may sound insane, but bottom line- Danita is a pro. As a designer, I am always particular, looking for great quality, and wanting an inspiring experience in everything I do. Lush delivers. Why compromise or wonder on someone else? 10/10 and I feel lucky to have found someone I can consistently count on!

Pros: Quality Color, top notch products, relaxing salon vibe

Posted 03/24/06

I recently moved to Indianapolis from NY and was in search of a fabulous colorist. After having two terrible experiences prior to going to Lush, I was hoping that someone would come to my rescue and bring my hair back to life. After 2 hours of color correction, she had changed my awful two tone brown/red/gold/yellow hair color into a beautiful chocolate brown with cool ash blonde hiltes-exactly the way i wanted it!!! She is extremely talented, edgy, experienced, and a sweetheart!! I highly recommend her to everyone and anyone that wants to have amazing color and look like a million bucks-she is a true find!! Thanks Sheila!!! Love-S

What truly amazing talent lies within the doors of Lush Salon. My hair started out as dark brown and no style. Carissa turned my hair into the most beautiful beach blonde color. She lightened the base color and added gorgeous highlights. This is not an easy task and she did an amazing job, there is absolutely no brassiness just wonderful buttery blonde! Then Sheila gave me the most amazing haircut. She knew exactly what would look right with my face shape, hair texture. My hair went from fine and limp to very cool and sophisticated! When she cut my hair she was meticulous and is a true artist. I have received so many compliments! Thank you both for your wonderful skill, awesome personalities and giving me gorgeous hair again.

Pros: my hair cut, location is close, shampoo

I loved the look of the salon as soon as I walked in very calming and elegant.Then the staff makes you feel very welcome and are so personable ....no matter how your hair looks.
I had highlights done first and have never been so happy with them in seriously 10 years.
Then I had the extensions done and love them . There are four hair stylists and being there for a long time for my hair I saw alot of women come in and leave with stunning hair......all the girls take pride in their work and you leave looking fantastic.Well done Lush everything is exceptional .The owner and stylist has done a fantastic job with teaming only the best hair technicians .

I have been in Indy for 5 days at a convention and needed a break from all the walking. I found Lush by searching on City Search and found it to be very worth while. It was be best deal in town, a cut and color for under $100.00. I was shocked for a smaller salon that the staff was very personal and very friendly. I do not like the big salons due to the way they rush you in and out of there so fast. Lush was very laid back and were glad you were there relaxing and enjoying yourself. It was a great experience and I will be back next time I am in town. Thanks again to the staff, you were great! Sincerely, Gina

Pros: Inexpensive, Good parking, Staff

Two weeks ago I read a comment about Danitas extensions in a magazine. I have to thank them for the advice. I got them last week. I have thinning hair and it has helped me a lot, people dont know what it is but they see something different on me. They are thinking that Ive changed my haircut! Now my hair is fuller, I wanted only volume not length (most of Danitas clients are looking for length). She also gave me the best haircut I have ever had! And as a bonus she used different tones of color and the result I got was unbelievable. I hope my posting will help others (fashion and beauty is very important for me).
