G Michael Salon

They were great.

My experience was great. From the moment I entered the upscale, yet simple, salon, I was impressed.  Greg, along with his assistant/trainee took their time & carefully listened to my hair issues (and there are a lot!).  He made appropriate suggestions & didn't over-promise. Throughout the process, his assistant was very attentive--asking quality, probing questions, conveying the desire to learn from Greg and hone her craft.  Greg was equally attentive. His color suggestion was perfect and I was happy with the end result, including the cut. Because of my myriad of hair complications: frayed/brittle dry ends, unruly fly-aways, breakage, 'shine-less', I required some extra treatment that i agree was/is very necessary. Grey explained every product used and how to use it. He did NOT encourage me or pressure me to purchase,  I was very pleased with texture/look of my hair when I left.  In my exuberance,  I ended up purchasing several products that I didn't need (I literally have drawers of quality, high-end products) and hubby called me on it & asked whether I truly need these additional products.  I agreed it was overkill and asked Greg if I could return.  He was gracious when I explained the situation & accepted as return the unnecessary items. I understand he did NOT need to do this but I so appreciate his customer service in this matter. Another happy customer earned!

My stylist was Elle.  The consultation  I had was on a Monday and then I set an appointment for the following Thursday.  I needed to have my hair fixed after a disastrous outcome from a different stylist at a different salon. It was bad.  My hair had been bleached and damaged with hints of pink and purple in it and  even brassy green  around the straw colored parts.  Elle and another nice lady looked at my ruin of hair and determined what needed to be done to save it.  It definitely needed saving.   I felt the consultation was great, with a really deep look into every aspect of what was done to what can be done to what will be done.  I was incredibly happy with the whole thing and felt satisfied with both the professionalism and the honesty.
I set an appointment for the following Thursday and from the time I set foot into the place I felt taken care of.  I was asked if I wanted anything to drink, if they could take and hang up my coat if I needed anything.  Then Elle came and I realized I was in capable hands.  She really did her homework and had  ideas for my hair.. I mean she actually did some research before I ever came in.   We chose a gorgeous wine"esque" color for the ends and a deep, chocolaty color for the roots and the top gradient.  She was a true chemist and came up with 4 concoctions of color   that perfectly took to my hair.  I was pampered, massaged, taken into a wash room that  calmed the senses with cool lighting, amazing stone work on the walls and a deep soft background ambiance song reminiscent of the Asian countryside. Everything she used on my hair smelled heavenly and I came out of there with a permanent smile on my face and a feeling of such deep relaxation that I can not remember the last time I felt so relaxed and good.  She consulted with me every step of the way, describing what she had in mind, then what she was doing and always following a pre-designed plan.  Nothing was left to chance.  At the beginning she even consulted with the salon owner as to the best steps and what he thought of the colors she chose.  The entire process was amazing and any sort of hesitancy I had about the costs of this service dissipated by the time It was all over with.   I realized that I needed this in my life and I would be coming back here to get pampered and looked after again in the near future.  
If all salon experiences were like this there would be no need for review sites because they would all be 5 star bombshells, just like Elle, just like G Michael salon.  The standard of quality is amazing here, the bar is set pretty darned high.  I highly recommend not only this salon to anyone and everyone but I would especially recommend Elle for her friendly, bubbly company, her  obvious skills at everything hair related and  her expert chemistry ability.  What an amazing outcome and a stellar, couldn't-be-better experience.  10 STARS!  Thank you guys!!!

Greg is an amazing stylist, I do not go anywhere else. He always knows what to do even with out you saying what you want. He never seems rush and takes his time with each of his clients. You would never know if he has a bad day because he always has a smile on his face and is happy to be working with you! His staff is amazing as well. Everyone greats you with a smile and always very welcoming. I would recommend Greg to anyone!

I went with them because they are actually the fund raisers for the Humane Society.  So I liked what they did and so I just stuck with them ever since.  They’re so easy to get into and they’re all pretty knowledgeable.  They’re very easy to talk to I guess and they want an idea of what I am wanting.

I went to this salon based on an Indianapolis rating for top salons, specifically for hair color. I needed a color adjustment that should have been easily remedied with an all-over toner to tone out an unnatural yellow brassy hue. Anessa, the hairdresser, is a consummate professional sales woman, she made promises that just did not happen and overly processed my hair and ruined it. The worst part now is my hair is not yellow anymore, but orange, and fried to boot. She stacked up unnecessary service charges, and in some instances, double charging, all in the name of and quot;color correction.and quot; She took complete advantage of the fact that I was unhappy with the color tone of my hair and racked up charges to the tune of $319.00. The scam in this salon is that when you communicate that you are unhappy with your hair color, they use that to double and triple charge for extra unnecessary services. And in the process further damage your hair until there is nothing that can be done except to cut your hair off. I recently, had an employment interview with a major airline, and they told me my hair color was tacky and that I needed to fix it before I could proceed to a second interview. So, I called the salon and expressed my dismay and the airline comments asking them to take responsibility for my tacky hair color and damage. Greg, the owner, said that they have a 48 hour rectification policy and that anything outside of that would not be acknowledged. He did nothing in his follow-up call except to insult my intelligence. BEWARE, this salon over-charges and under-delivers. Lastly, if they insist on you purchasing certain hair products for home, that is a sign that they damaged your hair beyond repair. This money-hungry salon lacks integrity. BE CAREFUL.

I have been to G Michael salon several times. I've seen 3 stylists and they are all great. The neat thing about the salon is that there is no pressure to use the same stylist each time - they will get you on the schedule when it is most convenient. The price may seem high but the quality matches (and I have thick long hair). My cut and color are always awesome. The professionalism and atmosphere are great - feels like you are on Michigan Avenue but with the hospitality that you would expect in Noblesville.

I was very happy with my cut and color until I washed my hair the next day and went to dry it. The ends are fried. I have never had anything like this before. When I called the salon that day they informed me that the beautician that did my hair wasnt in so I requested for her to call. At no time did they offer to have me talk to one of the owners. The beautician was to be in at 8:30. I still had no return call by 10:00 so I called again. At this point they informed me that she was scheduled to call me at 12:30 and that she had no open time to fit me in that day. So i asked to speak to Greg, one of the owners.

I explained the situation to him....he informed he already new what was going on. He told me that none of the beauticians would ever do that to someone, would not accept responsibility for the situation at all. He informed me that they couldn't see me until the following week. I told him that was unacceptabe and that I wanted something done today.

Bottom line no refund not even partial (they don't do that, not there policy), no apologize, I had to ask to come in and get conditioner to do it myself, and wouldn't see me for 4 days after the fact. I would not feel comfortable sending anyone to them.

I didn't wait at all when i arrived, Brooke does a fantastic job, she's very attentive and isn't trying to rush me through the service. It's a very nicely decorated clean setting.

I see the owner, so, I pay $75. He has the higher price than the other stylists. He is the best. I never have anything that I specifically want when I go in there. So, I let him have a free ring for my hair. I searched in Google and I moved from California and I actually tried 2 different other salon earlier last year right after I had moved that I had been care for and such, and so, online, he is the best of the best in Indianapolis area. They offer cozy, water, and soda. They have wonderful atmosphere, have a separate washing room with a very serene, and you get listen to the wonderful music and gets you relax and you get shampoos. It is wonderful, I love that. They give you a little hand of massage and put conditioners on your hair.

Finding a new salon in a new town can be trying , but this was a great experience ! From making the appt to the end result it was a great morning for me . Anessa was wonderful , friendly , knowledgeable and professional. She listened and really took the time to go the extra mile and explained the whats and whys of my hair care. And she is classy.! The shop itself was very inviting and upscale. The staff was very friendly. My hair is fabulous ... and let's face it ladies [ oops and men ] that is why when we find a great stylist we rejoice! I will be back and would recommed this salon .

I went to G Michael Salon on a Groupon. The first time I went I had Dianna cut my hair. She did an excellent job! She was friendly, positive, listened to me, gave me a great cut and overall it was a GREAT experience! But because I wanted to try a few of the stylists just to see if I preferred one stylist over another for myself and other family members, I scheduled my daughter with another gal. I wasn't extremely impressed and just didn't feel that and quot;hair stylist chemistryand quot; with her. OK, fine. Some people click and some don't. I then scheduled my next haircut with another gal and I thought -- I really like this gal! She seems fun, funky and edgy and would be great for my teen daughter. A few days after the cut, I noticed there were a few areas in my cut that I wanted to be tweeked. No big deal. When I returned to have it done -- well...., it was very odd. The owner of the salon was at the front desk and seemed to make a point to greet me. When the stylist came to get me, she seemed very cold and aloof. However, I thought, maybe she's having a long or off day. But as I sat in the chair, I noticed the owner in the mirror watching our interaction. Ok.... As I talked with the stylist to express my thoughts and ask her input if what I wanted could be done, she continued to seem distant, aloof and not the same gal that I met the previous week. She proceeded to tweek my cut and I tried to start a conversation with her but the atmosphere seemed very icy. Ok..... Throughout my 10/15 minutes in the salon and as I left, I felt like I had a few of the employees checking me out as if it was something bad or unheard of to ask to have a cut tweeked. I don't know, maybe I was being too sensitive, but I felt very uncomfortable and on the spot. When I walked out the door, my first thought was and quot;now THAT was oddand quot;. So -- will I come back? I'd really like to but it was so odd. Regardless, I would like to give Dianna my kudos! She gives a great cut and very pleasant!

I am new to town and wanted to find a stylist that I could trust and who could offer keratin treatments, since I rely on them every 12 weeks. I made an appointment with Lauren, who seems to be one of G. Michael's more senior stylists. The salon received great reviews on Angie's list, and I also Google-searched for best salons in Indianapolis/Carmel, and they always came up as the top salon. I also looked at their website to see the backgrounds of their stylists and their services. I picked Lauren because she looked to be an excellent choice, and I thought getting an appointment with the owner would be difficult. Making an appointment was fabulously easy. You can select the services you want online, with the stylist that you want. They email you confirmations of your appointment as well as reminders. They also text you the same information.
On my appointment day, I arrived a little early, but I was seen very promptly. Lauren was so nice, and she is lovely too which instantly made me feel a bit more comfortable in a new setting. I am rather shy, and she spent a lot of time not only asking me about my hair but she had read the notes that I put in my appointment request and addressed my concerns without me having to bring them up first. I thought that was great. She took time to match what she thought my base color would be, and showed me the colors to get my approval. She didn't use heat to activate the color, which I like. The washing stations are in a private area in what I have to say is a drop-dead gorgeous room with beautiful tile work. The chairs are super comfortable, probably the most comfortable that I have ever been in. My hair color turned out beautifully.
Lauren did explain that they only do mini-keratin treatments at their salon, because they have not found a regular one that does not have strong formaldehyde. That was the only disappointment I have with them. Their website indicates they offer a full keratin treatment. I haven't had luck with milder keratin treatments in the past, so I am not sure what I am going to do. I likely will try the mini but if it doesn't work, I will have to find another salon to do that treatment. I would stay with Lauren though, for everything else, I think. I just would rather not have to go someplace else.

I've been searching for a new hair salon/stylist for a LONG time. My former stylist/salon owner was amazingly talented and had experience with fashion shows...but has moved on to new endeavors. So I was stuck with mediocre cuts from multiple salons/stylists. When I stumbled upon G. Michael Salon, it was the stars had aligned! Getting an appointment was a breeze, I was welcomed by the happy staff and owners, the layout was designed beautifully giving it modern/contemporary feel with an eco-friendly appeal (LOVE IT!). While getting my hair washed and conditioned, I was caught a little off guard when offered a hand massage. What a simple and sweet gesture. Brilliant! Brooke, my stylist for this visit, was great! She gave me the cut that I've been asking other stylists to do, but have never measured up. And it turns out that the owner was my favorite stylist several years back at the Aveda Institute! (ICING ON THE CAKE!) Obviously, he's got the best trained staff working at such a beautifuly and highly efficiently facility. Also, LOVE the paperless receipt! :)

I've been going to Lauren for over a year now. She is fabulous - very professional and talented, definitely listens and works with you to provide quality service. Would highly recommend.

The stylist Nicole is good.
Went very well until i realized that their policy states that if you change your appointment within 24 hours the complete amount for the service will be charged to your card. I found about this policy when i changed my appointment once (@ 22 hours before the appointment). The next time they did charge for the entire amount $250 dollars. i can understand a policy that charges a portion of the services but not the entire amount.
I did explain to the lady on the phone that i needed more flexibility. The stylist no longer works on Saturday's and during the week with a job that requires 80+ hours is almost impossible to stick to an appointment without any changes. If there is an emergency like this last Friday then the customer looses.
i am frustrated by the lack of customer service. I have worked with thousands of services in Indianapolis and this is the first time i see a policy that doesn't focus on the customer. It appears it is more important to protect their own expenses vs keeping a customer. They and quot;savedand quot; $250 but have lost $2,200 in a year because i will never go back there and will not recommend it either.

Walk in the door, and you are not in Noblesville anymore. This is a sophisticated urban salon with a surprisingly friendly vibe. The owner, Greg Lee, has clearly put a lot of thought and hard work into every aspect of delivering a pleasant and successful salon experience. Besides the great cut, the best part for me is the professionalism of the enterprise. No running loose kids and dogs, no blaring TV, no gossip, and the place is clean as a whistle. They are also sensitive to harmful chemicals which are so common in hair products.

I love this salon. The stylist is wonderful. They are very attentive to customer service. They make their clients feel very comfortable. The environment and parking are great. There's nothing I don't like about it.

Greg Lee, the owner, and team are phenomenal! The salon is quiet and
very relaxing. I so look forward to 'my' time with Greg. All stylists
are trained by Greg on color and cut, so if your stylist is booked
another one can assist you for your specific date. Deane is also a
stylist I have worked with. Her work is fabulous as well.
Their hours cater to the busy world we live in . . . .
You leave your stress at the door and walk in for your appointment--they make it all about YOU!

Greg Lee has been my stylist for several years now. Always satisfied with my color and cut!

My stylist pretty much knows what color will look good for me. I don't have to go and tell her that I want a particular color. The price is average. I would continue to use them in the future.
