Riley is truly one of the most talented hair stylists I know, from doing my hair in my little bathroom at 12 years old to being a fully licensed hairstylist doing her thing in a professional setting as an adult, she’s always out done herself. The attention to detail and commitment she has to making your vision a reality, you can really feel her love of the craft and passion towards what she does. One of the best and most promising alternative/emo/punk hair stylists in Indianapolis hands down!!!!
I've been looking for a stylist who feels comfortable cutting layers in long to medium length hair. I found him in Seth! He colored and cut my hair with ease! He has an easy to talk to personality and is extremely talented! I will definitely be back.
Roo is honestly the best hair stylist i’ve been to! She has a very thorough consultation and gives me realistic expectations for the results of my hair! Not only that, she only recommends services and products that have the health of my hair in mind. I always recommend her to everyone I know and my hair always comes out looking perfect!!
