G Michael Salon

So, today I had my appointment with Noah for a cut and highlight. He did an amazing job, I could not be more happy with my hair! Finally! Nice salon, clean, organized, very friendly and professional staff. I found Noah to be extremely knowledgeable and he explained everything we were going to do for my hair. Great personality, fun vibe, very happy I chose to try this place out, I cannot wait to go back for my next appointment. Yes, they are a bit on the pricier side but I have found in Indiana, you get what you pay for.

I will gladly pay more for quality and having my hair cut evenly, color came out so beautifully and he showed me how to style it in a way that is easy and fast, I can do it myself at home, not just a one day look when you leave the salon. I highly recommend this place. I would give it ten stars if I could!

Worst salon I have ever dealt with. Started over 2 months ago when I went in for a cut, color and highlights. The only reason I am giving this a one star is because the stylist, Tara, was great and took a lot of time. 3 days after, my hair started to dry up and break off so bad it looked like a two year old took a pair of scissors to it. I had a bob style and now my hair is in some places less than an inch long.

I tried to reach out to the salon right away, not looking to get money back, but for advise on what to do to stop the damage from going any farther. I called several times and left my contact information with no calls back. Needless to say the damage has gone beyond repair now. The least they could do is try and style it so it doesn't look like a two year old chopped at it.

Last Friday, June 17 (2 months later) I got very aggressive with calling starting at 8:30 am (manager just walked in and will call me back as soon as she settles in). I called every couple hours all day on Friday with an excuse up to 3:30pm which is when I was told the manager had to leave because her kids got sick. I could send pictures. I said I was only 10 minutes away and would rather come in an show them what is happening. Was told she would get back to me on Tuesday next week, which is today (June 21).

It is now 3:15 pm and no call. I called again and was told she could not come to the phone and she would call me back. I ask for the owner's contact information and was told they do not have any way to contact the owner (REALLY?). I hope the owner is reading this. I explained what was going on with my hair and how it was breaking off due to the damage from the highlighting.

The response I got, "I have never heard of anything like that happening". I had 5 different hair dressers from 5 different salons confirm that my hair was breaking off from the damage caused from the highlighting and everyone of them told me that I need to go back to the salon and show them. Step up and own this G Michaels Salon! You advertise your salon as a high level salon.

This is run by a bunch of young adults that are very unprofessional. SAVE YOUR MONEY, NOT WORTH HAVING YOUR HAIR DONE AT G MICHAEL SALON! I hope someone reaches out to help make this right. I will not stop with this review! Update: Since posting this review the manager has reached out. She has agreed to see me and provide service at no cost. At least she is trying to make this right. I realize stuff happens, it was being ignored that upset me the most.

I cannot express how amazing my experience was at this salon and with specifically Gwen! She listened to exactly what I wanted and nailed it, She's incredibly talented and such a sweet girl and made sure I was comfortable the entire time!

My hair stylist June is amazing! She is very good at what she does, great technique and down to earth. I have a lot of hair and she does a great job and is time efficient. The salon is very clean, friendly, and relaxing! I will always recommend this salon.and June! Services: Curly hair, Hair coloring, Haircut, Hairstyling, Highlights, Balayage

Once again, G Michael Salon knocks it out of the park! My stylist June did an AMAZING job transforming my overgrown, dull hair! The shorter cut feels so much lighter, and I love how rich the coloring turned out. I really appreciate her helping me purchase quality shampoo and conditioner to maintain my new color. The professionalism, attention to detail, and luxurious ambiance keeps me coming back!

Sean did a great job adding highlights to my hair and then touching up my roots a few months later. I have a lot of hair and keep it pretty long, but Sean did an excellent job of getting consistent coverage and keeping the highlights looking natural. Very happy with my experience and plan to return to G Michael in the future. Service: Hair coloring

I love G Michael Salon! The staff are so friendly, and it's such a relaxing environment. My stylist, Kara, is absolutely amazing! I always had a hard time trusting someone with my hair. Not anymore! Kara listens to what I want and always goes above and beyond! Love her work and the experience she creates when I come in for all my hair services!

I cannot say enough good things about Emerson at G Michael. I travel from Fort Wayne because she's just that amazing! She's talented, professional, and personable. Emerson greets you with a smile, and you leave looking and feeling beautiful! Service: Balayage

I was recommended this place by a close friend, but will never recommend to anyone. I went in two different times for two different consultations, both of which I paid for, to discuss exactly what I wanted done to my hair. I booked extra time because I have a lot of hair. Normally I am in the chair for 4-5 hours being highlighted, with the help of an assistant.

The day of the appointment I was in the chair being highlighted for two hours. Yikes! I could see my stylist skipping huge sections of my hair to highlight just to get through it quickly. I knew it was going to turn out bad because of the short amount of time it took but I still had hope. $400 later, I got an extremely BASIC highlight, a style I hate, when I asked for all over baby lights and a root shadow.

Mind you, when I went in for the consultation I was quoted a price for the service i specifically asked for! I told them I don't care what it costs I just want done what we talked about. Well that was not the service I received on the day of the appointment. I could have gone anywhere to have the basic service I received done, and paid a whole lot less.

I have hard lines for grow out, my hair looks absolutely terrible! I trusted this place and I feel robbed. Definitely do not recommend, overpriced salon for super basic services.

Go to this salon immediately! Sean took amazing care of me one week before my wedding! We cut 5 inches off my hair and she gave me a fresh balayage. To this day, several months later, I am still asked who did my coloring. The salon is so clean and modern and everyone was very welcoming and kind. Services: Haircut, Balayage

G. Michael Salon is absolutely my favorite salon I've been to and I highly suggest working with June! She'll listen and collaborate with you to make sure your vision is created. Her hands are honestly magic and I've always left feeling and looking incredible, even when I didn't have a vision of what I wanted. June is so nice and easy to talk to so the whole experience at the salon brightens your day. The salon itself has a very relaxed, masculine, moody atmosphere. You can definitely tell once you walk in that you'll be taken care of by experienced professionals.

Emerson has done my hair for almost 3 years now! It is always such a good experience. Emerson is always kind & makes sure I'm well taken care of every time I step into the salon. I travel from up north to come visit her because she is just that awesome at what she does! Service: Hair coloring

Sad to say I am back looking for a salon again. I used to go to G Micheal but it is a bit of a drive so when my stylist left I tried something closer to home, but didn't find a good salon. Recently I wanted a completely new style (short but not pixie short) and called for an appointment telling them what I wanted and was flexible in time and price to allow time to get an experienced stylist.

I was put with a new stylist that did very well following the cut I had but did not know what to do about the new style. I did not bring a picture of what I wanted, I was hoping for a stylist who could recommend a style that suited me and my curly hair that needs some coxing to not go flat. I was so anticipating the change. I left very discouraged that when asking for an experienced stylist they still put you with the new one that needs to build clientele. I didn't want to complain because she was fine for her skill level, I would use her to maintain a style but that is not what I asked for, I felt duped.

I debated writing this, but if I can save even one other person from a repeat of what I went through, it'll have been worth the energy. First of all, this isn't about my hair. My cut and color were fine, no complaints. The one star is down to the harrowing experience I had in the salon on 8/26/21. G Michael has a separate room that you go into for your shampoo/conditioning + developer and toner.

Shortly after my stylist took me in there to rinse my balayage & do those next steps, another woman and her stylist walked in, yammering away. This room has dim lighting and stone-lined walls and is billed as a "relaxing/soothing" part of the salon experience. I think there's even a sign that asks people to speak in hushed voices? But it's not like I went there for a zen retreat; I went to get my hairs did, so whatever, talk away.

Except then, it turned out that this woman was going on non-stop--at full volume--with totally toxic nutjob conspiracy theory BS. The stuff about Target's secret agenda would've made me laugh if it was just that. The part about Jay-Z & Beyonce's "symbology" and how they're brainwashing people felt a liiiittle unhinged; but still not hugely offensive (unless you're Beyonce or Jay-Z, I guess).

But my nervous system went on high-alert when she starting talking about the kind of dangerous stuff that gets people killed, touting Alex Jones, and how he has some pretty good ideas if you watch his YT videos. There was a whole screed about how any life, even just the tiniest spark, is a miracle, and [I'll save you her next extreme opinions, which I don't even want to repeat on the same day that women's bodily autonomy was dealt such a huge blow].

Then she went in on the January 6th attack on the Capitol, and how her [father in law? brother's girlfriend's dad?] was there fighting the good fight, and all the wild stuff he said happened and on and on and on like it was this fun antic. I live in D.C., just over a mile from the Capitol. Whatever your politics: that's not a fun story; it was a flippin' violent and terrifying event taking place in my neighborhood.

I get that the service industry doesn't get to choose their customers, but her stylist wasn't just tolerating this woman's spew. She was ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN IT the entire time. (Naturally, the woman also took off her mask when she walked in, coughed several times, apologized for coughing.and left her mask off the entire time she jabbered away.) You can't really change your mind once all the gunk is in your hair, but by the end of 30-40 minutes of what felt like non-stop verbal assault, I couldn't believe I was giving my money to a business where this was tolerated.

Every muscle in my body was tensed up, and I just wanted out of there as fast as possible. Despite my stylist's whispered apologies and a decent scalp massage, I left the salon with a giant migraine. In conclusion: 0/10, not psyched I gave G Michael my money, do not wish that experience on anybody else.

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value This was my first time visiting the salon! Sean was my stylist and she did a fantastic job. She is super knowledgeable and answered all questions I had. I'm super happy with how my hair turned out. The salon itself is super clean too : Will definitely be returning! Service: Hair coloring

I wish I could give this place 10 stars! No lie, I don't think I could ever go to another salon. G Michael Salon is where it's at! Pre-appointment: when I called to book an appointment, I had a lot of questions and the girl who I spoke with was very helpful. She was very polite and professional. I also got a reminder text to my phone before m appointment. Appointment: I got my hair cut and colored with June, who was considered one of the "newer" hairstylists (I'm not exactly sure what the rankings are called).

I like their ranking system because it allows for new stylists to get the experience they need and for customers to pay more affordable prices! June was honestly so great. I liked the transparency / communication involved in the process -- I don't know anything about hair, so I appreciate that she took the time to explain what could happen in the hair dyeing process. FINALLY, the BEST PART.

The secret spa room where you get your hair washed is amazinggggg. It's so incredibly relaxing and I've never had a hair experience like this before. Can't wait for my hair to grow out so I can return to G Michael Salon haha :')

Love G. Michael Salon! They are so professional and very welcoming. Upon entering they will get you checked in and will ask if you would like a drink while you wait. I wasn't able to get any pictures of the salon itself but the waiting area was comfortable and relaxing. I highly recommend you to make an appointment because they book up fast! Luckily I was able to get in for a hair cut the next day, but if you are wanting a color than you will need to prebook a few weeks in advance!

I had Chelsea and asked for a blunt cut at the bottom, keep my length, add curtain bangs that end at the tip of my nose and subtle layers that blend with my length but frame my face. Chelsea was amazing! She gave me exactly what I wanted and did a lovely job at giving me curtain bangs. I was nervous with trying something different but she definitely met my expectations even more so.

I love love love my new hair. Pricing was not bad at all for what you are getting. I was getting just a haircut and that includes a shampoo and blowout style after. That cost me around $80 without tip. Definitely not a bad price for what I was asking! I definitely feel comfortable going to G. Michael for all of my hair cut looks! Go see Chelsea, she is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to customize a look that you found and customize it to you!

AVOID THIS SALON! After almost 10 years of going here without a complaint, my family (hubby and 2 kids) and I will NO LONGER return. I receieved an unsatisfactory hair cut and was handled extremely rudely by the manager. After the many years of good service and never having a complaint, I saw told "if didnt like it i could go back to my old stylist from now on." (Manager knew that stylist has moved 2 hours of the away, she no longer works there) I WILL be finding a new salon!

Not only will my family not return, but my sister and a couple of friends (who I referred to this salon). Your poor customer satisfaction has immediately just cost you 7 clients!) My service is NOT cheap as I use the level 4 or 5 stylists with multiple services each visit. I have spent multiple thousands of dollars at this salon EVERY YEAR. So if you're looking for a new salon, STEER CLEAR.

I will make it my duty to inform everyone interested in my solid reference - DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. 2 stars because the stylist themselves are not to blame, this lie squarely on the manager's lack of customer satisfaction. (Greg, Candace deserves a raise! she had to cancel all of my family's appointments while demonstrating the kindest and most sincere regret that I was leaving the salon after all these years.)

I visited this salon for the first time and Sean was my stylist. I showed her photos and tried explaining what I wanted (but wasn't great at it). Sean explained to me going blonde was a process and to do it safely would take more than one visit and also showed me some photos of what my hair would potentially look like. She made sure I fully understood and was on board with the plan before she put any product in my hair.

I really appreciated her honesty and how thorough she was. My hair turned out SO beautiful and I love it! Also, the hair washing station was the most comfortable one I have ever been in! Usually those sinks hurt my neck, but it was quite the opposite with soothing music playing and was separated from the rest of the salon; it provided a spa like atmosphere. Thank you so much! I'll definitely be back

Very clean, friendly and professional environment. I had the pleasure of having Hannah for my stylist to assist me in correcting what I had been cutting for several years. The look I was trying to achieve was very much nailed by her after seeing a few Pinterest photos. They have an excellent array of products, recommendations and styling tips to give.

I ended up paying $65 for my haircut, shampoo and styling. Well worth it and honestly very reasonably priced. These are professionals, not your SportsClips or SuperCuts "stylists". They are well trained and have to intern there to be selected to work there. If you need updates or professional opinions/styling, look no further.

This is a first class salon; over 12 months, when I am in Indianapolis, I have had 3 different stylists. All 3 excellent. It's also well run, on time, and safe re Covid guidelines. I've had blowouts, color, and cuts. I would not hesitate to use anyone. This is a FIND!

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value Hannah did an AMAZING job on my hair. I've always worried that a lighter balayage would make me look weird because my hair is really dark, but Hannah blended the colors beautifully. There's absolutely nothing I would change, wonderful service.

We have been looking for a high quality hair salon that can work on biracial hair. I mean its just hair after all. I was so pleased when I came across G Michael Salon. My daughter wanted to change her look for the upcoming school year and wanted to do a bayalage hair coloring. Our stylist Hannah was the perfect match for us. She was able to give my daughter the stylish look without making her look to grown up. I am so pleased that we have finally found our stylist.

I've been coming to G Michael for a few years now and I don't plan on ever leaving! Stevi is my go to girl! If you are looking for a very clean, professional, upscale salon, this is your spot! One thing to note- they do not allow children in their salon, (which is a pro for some). They always offer complimentary drinks (coffee, soda, water), they have a "quiet room" in the middle of the salon that is sound proof that they use for washing your hair (and usually give head massages or a complimentary conditioning treatment if they are running a special that month). Prices are a little on the higher side, but you definitely get what you pay for there.

I believe different stylist have different pricing. I normally just get a hair cut and it's about $50, which isn't bad with everything you get. Coloring is where I think they are a bit expensive. Highly recommended if your thinking about trying somewhere new!

Very good service from the up front girls who ask if you would like any drinks such as water, coffee or soda as you wait they make you right at home, the waiting room was comfortable.

UPDATE: After some back and forth, Greg called me and apologized. He said he realized his business wasn't doing all it could to notify clients about their policies. He also refunded my gift card and offered several ways he felt he could make it right. He went above and beyond doing so. I appreciate Greg's phone call and the conversation that we had. -------------------------------- I can't leave a review on how they actually do hair because I never made it into the chair.

I missed my first appointment because I had a family emergency. Total accident. I felt awful. I was charged $220. I called and really appreciated them understanding the situation. They refunded me and allowed me to reschedule - an appointment weeks out. I stayed patient based on referrals from friends and these good reviews. I finally walked in the door and was excited to get my hair done.

Before I could even get my name out to check in, though, the girl at the front desk asked if someone was coming to pick up my infant. I don't have child care here. He was sleeping soundly in his car seat and my friend was there getting her hair done - so lucky for me, I would be able to pass him off during my cut or as needed. The girl behind the desk told me that they don't allow kids under the age of 12.

I was forced to cancel and had to leave. While I understand the policy and even somewhat respect it (even though this is a place that caters to women - women who have children), not once did G Michael Salon say something about this to me. I never received a confirmation email. The voicemail they left didn't mention a no-kid policy either. So here I am, I just rushed over from work. packed him up and got him out of the car. and I am unexpectedly not welcome. Meanwhile, at least one - possibly two - stylists made snotty and ignorant remarks to my friend. "Where was she even going to put the baby?" "I don't even understand how you could have a baby with the kind of schedule you have" The girl at the counter was then unwilling to refund the person who got me a gift card for my visit. $175 down the drain.

The manager actually said to me that I was upsetting HER. Bottom line, I think this place lacks class. If you're going to have such a strict policy, you need to notify people about it. I don't plan on returning.

Kerissa. Kerissa. Kerissa. She is the best! She brought my hair back to life and it quite possibly the nicest person! She's very easy to talk to, she's very professional, and her technique and advice is always spot on. I was hooked after the first appointment and have been back two times since. I love Kerissa so much that I booked out my next two appointments already!

No one seems to be fake with their compliments which I really appreciate and no one has tried to upsell anything to me. I'm a huge fan of this place! Some people have opinions on their policy of no children inside but I honestly kind of appreciate it. It's nice to have a true adult experience. The entire process is comforting and relaxing. Check out Kerissa's IG to see how amazing she is! @hairbykerissa

Visited the salon today for balayage highlights and a cut on long hair. I have some grey coming in at the front and Courtney knew exactly what to do! Amazing highlights, and cut and completely covered the area I was concerned about. Conversation was amazing, was offered a drink multiple times while there and really enjoyed the shampoo room that is like a spa experience in itself.

Highly recommend for highlights - best I have found in Indy BY FAR! Booking online was easy too - didn't have to call and speak to anyone and go back and forth about dates available. Seeing all available dates online was such a great feature.

Cannot elaborate enough on what a fantabulous staff you find and G Michael! Oh so very understanding, nonjudgmental, and knowledgeable! Such sweet cuties! My initial contact was through Miss Alyssa. She was able to swing a same-day consult on a busy Saturday afternoon: My stylist was Miss Stevie. Although they do not carry the service I was seeking - they still treated me as not only a valued customer ~ but as a genuine person!

There was also another staff member rocking a blonde pixie that was also of great assistance. Sad I did not get her name. You can bet that I will be back very soon! To be understood and treated so very well is priceless!

Today I got my hair done by Emerson. She was AMAZING! I haven't had my hair colored or have had highlights in 10 years. I came with pictures and she was great working with me to get the look I wanted. For the 2 1/2 hours I was here it was so relaxing. The shampoo room was so relaxing and tranquil. With a scalp massage I almost fell asleep! Emerson also was so helpful in teaching me to style my hair. Definitely worth the money and I will be going back!

I have been going to G Michael Salon for a couple of years, each year I visited 3-4 times. When I moved to Indiana I decided to do changeover and die my natural brown hair. I picked them based off their colored hair Instagram pictures. Overall after trying several of their stylists I found: - they know how to take care of your hair so it does not get damaged during the hair coloring treatment - best at coloring blond hair not so much brunettes.

In some occasions my hair would look very brassy. - Some of the stylists are very average but will still charge you a lot of money. There was not a time I spent less than 200 for haircut and all over color (long hair - a bit above elbow) or $400 if I was doing a partial balayage with a cut. - it takes them several trials before they understand how your particular hair color will react. - Average haircut, sometimes I had to push them to not be afraid and cut more if needed for added volume and body to the hair - really bad at hairstyling, I was better off styling it myself so I never went for just a blowout.

I gave them 3 stars because they like to take care of the health of your hair and certain stylists (cue for Tyler) are good at achieving natural looking brunette balayage. However too expensive for the quality of work you'll get.

After much recommendation I stopped in this salon to purchase the dry texturizing spray. The salon is modern and sleek and smells amazing! Although I didn't have an appointment with the location the staff was very friendly and helpful with product recommendations! The woman up front told me the spray was their most commonly sold product (so it has to live up to the hype!) I spritzed it on quickly before running into the gym and it smells simply amazing! Thank you for amazing customer service and friendliness!

This is for all the pixie-cut gals and the ladies who are patient enough to grow their short hair out: make an appointment with Amilee. I've been seeing Amilee for over a year now, and as long as she's within a 60-mile radius of Indy, she's in charge of my hair. She won me over as I transitioned from a shaved head (you read that right) to the bob I'm rocking now.

I had fewer aggrevating "bad hair days" in the last year because Amilee knew exactly what to do, and I'm grateful for her expertise. Therefore, stop hunting for the right short-hair stylist. Amilee's the one you can trust with your tresses.

I've tried this salon on several occasions with varied results. Sometimes I walked out feeling nice, sometimes ok and most recently, unacceptable. The one thing I can say is consistent: I was always surprised by the cost and not in a good way. I wanted to give this place every benefit of the doubt because I wanted to love it there. The salon itself is nice with a great atmosphere.

It feels like you're getting an "experience". However, it is not worth the cost. Prices seem subjective and additions for "special color" or "extra thick" hair are the norm here. They will charge you for literally everything. My last experience cost me almost $300 because I got 3 pieces of balayage, root touch up and a highlight in my bangs. The result was awful and left me embarrassed to part my hair any other way than the way it was first styled.

I asked for at least a partial refund which they said is against their policy but they agreed to fix it (with an appointment set for a week later). Bottom line: They don't seem conscientious of clients and their budgets and will readily tack on additions without consultation. Their staff communication (especially from front desk booking to stylist) is very poor.

The stylists are friendly. But I am thoroughly disappointed and wouldn't recommend wasting your money here. I ended up finding someone else who could squeeze me in sooner and fixed my unreasonably expensive bad dye job at a much more reasonable cost. Needless to say, I found my new colorist and I won't go back. My advice? Keep looking!

I had a great experience, and will definitely be returning. Thanks to Lauren for the wonderful job she did on my hair today.

Wow!! The atmosphere is so intoxicating here!! I felt like royalty the moment I stepped inside G. Michael's swanky, ultra-modern, sleek entrance. Everyone is a diva here!! The staff is unbelievebly chic and dressed to impress!! It truly reminded me of my New York City Salon 'Alibi NYC Soho Salon:. It's alluring, full of energy, & fantastic! Expect the service you'll receive to be "white glove" from beginning to end.

The experience will be beyond your wildest dreams! Tyler (a magician as far as I'm concerned :) colored & cut my hair & it was far & away the best cut/color/ & style I've ever gotten. My bill totaled nearly $300's on all services, color, and products, but was money well spent & worth every penny! I'm gushing, I know, but you will be too!

I feel lucky to be one of the people that G. Michael's transforms & pampers into totally fabulous!! This is going to sound silly, but we are the "beautiful people"!! And we found our way home when we stepped inside G. Michael Salon! Kisses everyone!

Chelsi is highly skilled and I love how knowledgeable she is with Oribe products. I've never experience such a perfect color and beautiful blow out. She truly cares about her clients and prepared my style to last all day. I would recommend her to anyone!

Best Salon in Indy. Very professional, friendly caring and up to date on all the new colors and cuts. Elle is the best colorist I've ever had do my hair. Went from blonde to silver......then back blonde...she is amazing with every request I give her. Don't think you could go wrong using any stylist at G Michael......Im so happy I found them.

The staff were friendly and the environment was nice. It was super loud so I couldn't hear my stylist very well but the inside is so professional. Everyone is dressed nice and super helpful! Karissa did my balayage and layers and I have really long hair, she did an awesome job! I loved it! I haven't paid over $150 for my hair to be done ever but I liked her and the job she did.

I have. Even to so many salons and yes this place is expensive but this is most definitely a salon! I'll be coming back to see Karissa again! I've never been happier with my hair!
