CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
An amazing, relaxing experience every time - the best haircut in Indy
Posted by mindyall on 08/10/2008
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.

Excellent service, skill, and value

I called the salon at 11:30 am on a Saturday as a first time client and was able to get an appointment with Lauren 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!

THE BEST BLOWOUT IN TOWN!!!!!
Posted by emilys1981 on 7/08/2008
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 Lauren 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 Lauren was and she pointed over to her. Lauren 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 she 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. Lauren, thank you so much for you work!! You definitely have a new client!!! You
made my night! You are the Master of Blowouts!!!!

Brilliant Color Correction
Posted by candicem1977 on 6/22/2008
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!

Go to Lush!

Seeing Jenna 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!

Elegant, lovely, and encourages beauty!
Posted by abbydeville on 5/02/2008
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!

So Impressed
Posted by sashayakamura on 4/30/2008
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!

Long Hair At Last...Thanks!
Posted by beckyleonard on 4/4/2008
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 Alexis 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.

INNER & OUTER BEAUTY
Posted by tanyakotzer on 02/11/2008
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!

My Review
Posted by adillonin on 12/04/2007
I love this salon. The atmosphere and decor is very tasteful and unique.  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.

Danita is a hair godess!
Posted by ally1601 on 10/24/2007
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!


Qualified Talented Staff
Posted by aliceharper on 8/21/2007
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!

Always a pleasure
Posted by cmccord on 5/15/2007
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 Amanda 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 wouldn’t consider going anywhere else.

Hollywood in Indianapolis!
Posted by vacationmickie on 04/15/2007
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!

Amanda saved my hair
Posted by alexis1965 on 04/12/2007
Amanda 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.

A Beautiful Salon
Posted by maureenphillips on 04/12/2007
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 Amanda 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!!!!!!

Great staff with tons of talent!
Posted by allisontuttle on 04/11/2007
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 Kerastase are the best. The prices are competitive - it's
worth every penny.

Danita White at LUSH Salon
Posted by reneallistol on 04/01/2007
"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!)"

Get a great style both color and cut!
Posted by michellepratt on 03/29/2007
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.

Very sexy cuts
Posted by thomasstein on 03/29/2007
"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.

"why compromise- this is it!"
Posted by amayer2004 on 03/25/2007
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!

Lauren Rocks!!!
Posted by sassyshesaid on 1/19/2007
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!!! Love-S

Cutting edge
Posted by rockypebbles on 03/18/2006
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 .

Great Stress Buster!!
Posted by ginalawson on 03/15/2006
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

Great Extensions
Posted by indycoach on 03/03/2006
Two weeks ago I read a comment about Danita’s 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 don’t know what it is but they see something
different on me. They are thinking that I’ve changed my haircut! Now my hair is fuller, I wanted only volume not
length (most of Danita’s 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).

Worth the Drive!!!
Posted by kenniedee on 02/27/2006
I was looking for a new stylist and someone to do hair extensions. After talking to several people in the college town
where I live, no one could do them the way that I wanted. So I got on the internet, read about Danita and Lush, made
my appointment and drove from Bloomington three times to get my hair done. Danita was awesome in doing my
extensions that even my mom and my grandmother weren't sure what was my real hair and the extensions. I just
found my new salon and highly recommend Lush to everyone!
