I had an appointment with Ransome at noon for a bridal hairstyle. Unfortunately, I was running 15 minutes late on the day of my wedding. I called the salon 4 times earlier in the morning and no one picked up. I was hoping to ask if it would be okay to be 15 minutes late.. When I arrived at 12:15, Ransome said she had given my appointment to someone else and asked if I could wait 20 minutes. I know that I was late, but considering that wedding days can be hectic, I would not recommend this salon to anyone on their wedding day. I was frustrated by the experience and felt rushed. I asked if someone else could do my hair, and she found another hairstylist to begin drying it. However, I do not like the practice of giving away bridal hair appointments without contacting the bride first. After speaking with another hairstylist, I found that Ransome had double booked that day rather than taking another appointment last minute. On my wedding day, I did not want to be double booked and would have preferred to be prioritized. I will not be returning to this salon. I did not like the vibes of carelessness that I received from Ransome and it made for a less happy start to a really special day. If I felt prioritized by the salon, I would have likely stayed a little longer and asked for exactly what I wanted, but I couldn't wait to get out of there. I wasn't 100% pleased with my hair, and would have preferred to stay a little bit and make adjustments, but said it looked good and quickly left so that I could regain composure. For me, it is important to have a stylist you feel at ease with, and one that makes you feel comfortable and prioritized. I unfortunately felt stressed, uncomfortable, and unimportant after interacting with Ransome.

The WiP Downtown team did my bridal hair and makeup, only one person in our 0-person wedding group. Overall, the team did an amazing job with hair and makeup, varying services and moving us along for our timeline. We arrived at 9:00am and they were able to start with 4 of us, rotating between stations/stylists to see everyone. This is the most ideal situation for a group of our size and wedding day bookings. Everyone’s blow outs and styles were done incredibly well and as requested, and if curls dropped, they jumped in to fix/re-do styles. We had a slight delay for our group - other appointments came in during our booked time - but they immediately figured out stylists to keep us going. We were able to bring in breakfast (nearby Panera), coffee and mimosa! A fantastic start to the wedding day! The team was wonderful managing a large group of a wide array of ages (14-35), and making sure we were all happy with the result. As an out-of-town bride, I had my trial a month before the wedding and Ransome was AMAZING in making sure I was happy with my hair and makeup. She asked all of the right questions to get me thinking about my hair/makeup, and was super available for questions as they arose. Thank you WiP Downtown! I would absolutely recommend the salon to bridal groups or other large groups of folks!

The WiP Downtown team did my blowout with hot tools (curls) as part of our 10-person wedding group. Overall, the team did an amazing job with hair and makeup, varying services and moving us along for our timeline. We arrived at 9:00am and they were able to start with 4 of us, rotating between stations/stylists to see everyone.

The team was wonderful managing a large group of a wide array of ages (14-35), and making sure we were all happy with the result. Alexis did my hair and she really understood my hair type and used the correct tools and products to accommodate me. My curls were still perfect the next morning after a night of partying! The amazing head and neck massage she gave me while she shampooed me really set the tone for the day. Thank you WiP Downtown! Our bride would absolutely recommend the salon to bridal groups or other large groups of folks!

My first experience at this place was terrific, Seth was able to see my vision and execute it wonderfully. I scheduled a second appointment with someone different who absolutely butchered my hair. I used the same photos (a natural and light copper toned balayage with mild face framing) and asked for the same thing; she had no idea what she was doing. The first time she showed me it was a bright firetruck red. Absolutely not what I asked for. She did tone it again but there was no toning it down to where I wanted it. The manager gave me an at-home toner that did nothing, and scheduled a redo. During that time in between, two major life events felt ruined because all I could think about was how horrible my hair looked. The person that redid it talked down to me, very clear she was upset to have to do it for less than usual (according to the manager). The redo had zero copper tones and was much blonder than I wanted, and I walked out of there with worst style I’ve ever received from a salon. My hair is completely fried and lost all the curl and moisture I put years into rebuilding after some health issues. The manager also refused to even partially refund the money wasted. I will never be returning and encourage no one to go here.

My first visit to Wip was over a year ago, I got a blowout before a nice evening out. The scalp massage was hands down the best shampoo ever. I can get anxious about having someone new do my hair, even just a blowout. Ransome was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I had to come back and see what more magic she could work with my strands! Before coming to Wip, I had another solan color my hair hoping to get a red... it was brown . So for my return visit, I got a color correction to lighten my hair. I was immediately pleased with my new color. In fact when I returned to teaching the next day my third grade students were thrilled that I had "fixed it!" My hair has never been healthier! It's longer and has more body than I thought possible. I get compliments throughout the life of my highlights! Before people might say something just after I color it. Now people complement my color right up to my next service! One of my good friends with much thicker hair has even switched hair salons after seeing my hair transform and my raving about the relaxing shampoo and scalp massage! I can also highly recommend the waxing services they provide as well!

  • Stephanie Picarra

I started with a haircut and color consulting with Miriam. Right away I could tell the vibe of the salon and the staff matched what I was looking for - I like a more funky edgy look and not every salon has the same eye for that but saw through some light research that Miriam could handle what I was looking for. Miriam gave me a great haircut and valuable info for the balayage look I've been wanting to do. She gave me options and put a solid plan together that made me feel comfortable with pursuing a more drastic color change. I had my first lightening appt this weekend, and the tone of the color was a great start as a transition to a lighter shade. She really made sure the treatment still left my hair looking and feeling healthy! Her and Lily worked on my hair forever to get a good first result, with some great tips and recommendations, and I'm looking forward to going back there for the rest! They are super kind and fun to talk to during a long appt and the whole place just has a positive, friendly vibe! Miriam and Lily know what they are doing! Definitely just gained a loyal customer here!

Alexis is an ARTIST. I’ve never chanced upon such a lucky encounter before this. You will not be disappointed. She has been styling my naturally curly and once-oh-so-squirrely hair for about 3 years, now. As another Reviewer said, she LISTENS. I could never before get even one Stylist to LISTEN and leave fullness at the crown. With curly hair it creates a silhouette that is just BAM. She did it first visits and then totally agreed. Now, it’s standard for me. She has implemented her own suggestions that resulted in improvement, as well. As a Work In Progress, we collaborated and nailed it. Another TOTAL WIN for the loft/ salon is the Quiet Room that is dimly lit with soothing music and is available for shampooing and scalp massages and other beauty voodoo which I enjoy every visit. In addition to wonderfully nice staff, another major draw for me is the online Scheduling calendar. I schedule my appointments out an entire year and can easily move and reschedule all online.

This is a difficult review to write. Objectively it deserves 5 stars, subjectively I'd give it 2 stars. Ransom was the lady's name who cut my hair and honestly I did not get a good feeling from her at all. I wish I would have just left as soon as I got a bad vibe. She did exactly what I asked although she didn't think it would look good. She gave me a great wash, cut and style but something was just not right. It could have just been me, which is why I gave it an objective review. There was a guy working there, I don't know his name but I didn't get a bad vibe from him at all. At the end of the day, I would never go back, but if you don't pick up on weird vibes and you just want a great haircut, this is a great place to go. Please note, as far as I could tell this place is not wheelchair accessible and you have to be able to climb up a long flight of steep stairs.

These gals have magical hands and the most eccentric vibe. They will leave you feeling fabulous and freshened! They offer you a complimentary beverage. Ransome did my hair and it was a great reset. As a momma it is important for me to feel that I am relaxed and pampered. She washed my hair with a great head massage. Also covered me in a heated blanket! She knew exactly how to trim my hair and bangs to feel light but yet voluminous! Ransome is seriously a hair God. I have also had my hair by Alyssa and she is the sweetest! She will also give you what you need in hair service. She is honest in her work and fun to talk to! Pricing is very fair. I know a lot of other salons that are a fortune in the same buisness and can be rude. WIP is the place to go!

  • Audrey

I was referred to WiP by friends that are stylists themselves to get my hair and makeup done for my wedding in 2015 (my friends were in my wedding, so they couldn’t do it). I had nothing but great things to say about the results for my wedding! My makeup held all day in the heat, and not a hair out of place by the time my head finally hit the pillow late that night. Flash forward to now, and those 2 friends are now part of the WiP team! I went back in April to get a color and cut, and once again they didn’t disappoint. I personally worked with Miriam and Lily (who I could speak the most amazing things about all day long), but I know that the rest of the team is right there with them. You’d be in great hands with anyone at WiP!

  • Adrianna Samra

Ransome is a hair wizard. I have always had my hair platinum blonde until the day that I decided to start getting highlights and lowlights at my previous salon. Feeling unsatisfied with my lack of blondness, I went to Ransome. She took my hair almost immediately back to my beloved platinum hair. She is professional and knowledgeable and she really takes her time to figure out how to maintain healthy hair while achieving the color you want. No other stylist has been able to keep my hair manageable like she has. I have less breakage and overall softer hair. The salon also keeps up to date on new products. Their new Tigi hair treatment is a must try with your color service for healthy results !

  • Whitney Perez

I usually go to the same stylist every 8 weeks but she was out of town when I needed to get my hair redone. I decided to give Wip another try. I was not impressed. I had orange in my hair and the highlights i got didnt even cover up my roots.She said it was because I had such thick hair(which I do) but my regular stylist never has problems with my hair. I was never told a price until the end. I paid $140 for a haircut and highlights that weren't correctly done. The stylist did say I could get ahold of her and she could fix it I did email her and never got a response back. I will never go back to this salon because of the unprofessionalism.

  • Taylor Wentworth

I loved my experience here! My first experience at this salon was with stylist Jenna Fritts. She was so patient and sweet. She asks about your hair history and makes sure that your hair goal is something that is possible. If it isn’t possible she is super sweet and helpful to find something you are happy with. They also have a shampoo room that is seperate from the full salon, it’s a soothing and tranquil experience especially since she takes the time to massage your scalp while you are in there! You definetly get amazing service and the vibes in this salon are so good. I definetly reccomend this salon and Jenna as your stylist.

  • Rachel Massey

Miriam and Lily are the best! Every time I come see them, they go out of their way to make my hair dreams come true! I've been seeing them both for about a year now and I am so happy with the results of having expert stylists care for my hair. They are an awesome team! They communicate well and have such approachable dispositions, I felt at home the first time I came. The whole salon has such a comfy vibe! Everyone is so nice and I really enjoy each visit. Thank you guys for making my hair journey an enjoyable adventure! ;) Your positive attitudes are contagious and so appreciated! My hair has NEVER LOOKED BETTER!

  • Allison Hazel

Had a fantastic experience at Wip! My stylist, Ransome, really took the time to listen to what I wanted and asked me questions about my lifestyle to determine the best cut for me realistically. The shampooing had to be the most relaxing hair salon experience of my life. She covered me with a heated blanket (!), used essential oils, and gave me a great head massage. In the end, we decided on a conservative trim and shape-up, which isn't always the easiest thing too accomplish! Some stylists just want to overboard. Ransome gave me exactly what I wanted, along with a very pampering, relaxing experience.

  • Haleigh Hanson

I have been loyal patrons of Lily and Miriam for years now and let me tell you when they moved to WiP downtown I was very excited. The salon is beautiful with it’s corner location has lots of natural light. The space is so open and welcoming and the vibes are just.. immaculate . As someone that likes to try different things with my hair often (undercut, more unnatural colors, fringe, etc.), I always felt at home with Lily and Mir, but WiP has been the perfect extension/compliment of their fun, funky, fresh style. Check this place out, you will NOT be disappointed.

  • Louie Bibeau

I have been getting my hair cut by Lily for the last 10 years. I have never ever had a bad haircut by her, they have been the exact opposite, they are always perfect and done with precision. I always leave the salon with a smile on my face and great satisfaction with a fresh new cut. She puts her heart into every cut and putting that with her skill she’s the best of the best. She’s also honest and gives you her opinion and knows her stuff and never ceases to amaze me with her knowledge as well as her talent. Guys and girls go check her out. You won’t regret it.

  • Geetha Priya Padmanaban

I got my hair color treatment done with Alexis last week. I really loved the professional experience she carries in crafting my hair as I desired. I was so unsure about what I wanted, she picked clues from what I talked and made me look great. Hanging out at her station was fun. WiP downtown team is hardworking, super enthusiastic people about styles they bring to their customers. Sanitizing station, lounge, treatment everything was well maintained. I gladly will get my hair done every time closing my eyes :) Thanks Alexis for the additional haircare tips!

  • Denise Rayman

I have been loyal to this salon for 5 years. I have my hair cut by Alexis and she always does a great job and really considers what look I want and how it will work with my hair’s natural shape and thickness. During coronavirus they are being super safe, with full mask compliance and high sanitation procedures, including a sanitation station before you enter. There is street parking all over the block and a garage next door if you prefer that. I always recommend them if I get a compliment on my hair, and I get lots of compliments on my hair!

  • Alexandria Armstrong

I'll never return to box dye and chain salons again. Needing to treat myself after a rough couple weeks I made an appointment with Ransome and she did nothing short of amaze me. She gave me a rich color that complemented my skin tone perfectly. She took the time to get to know my hair routine and teach me how my natural texture and curl can be tamed. I also need to massively compliment the amazing scalp message that helped relax my worries away. So if your in Indianapolis or visiting book an appointment at wipdowntown with Ransome Brown.

  • Heather Colgrove

Ransome and her team are welcoming and inviting to all different lifestyles. I have been blessed to be taken care of by Ransome for the last 3+ years. When I first came to her my hair was lifeless and dying. I felt it had no hope. However what Ransome seen was different. She had a vision of health and a road to helping my dry depleted curls. My hair is now more vibrant than ever and I’ve gained a friend and I look fabulous and feel more myself than I had in many years!!! Thank you WIP team!!!

  • Jonathan Lee

Need a new hair artisan? Look no further. Go see Alexis and let her work her hair magic on you. Her stylish creativity always has anyone I meet asking, “Where do you go to get hair done?” She is always ahead of the hair trends and will hit whatever color your hair fantasy desires. Stop getting just a mediocre hair cut from the same person you been going to for years and don’t have the heart to tell them their work is basic. Go see Alexis at WIP Downtown and never be unsatisfied again!

  • Jessica McBride

Seth has been doing my hair for at least 15 years and I put my trust fully in his ability every time I see him. Most recently I decided to officially start getting my hair colored to cover the gray and was wowed once again by how Seth made me feel at ease while making my hair look like it's younger self again- shiny, healthy, and perfectly colored. So thankful to be able to put my hair in his oh so capable hands time and time again. Highly recommend.

  • Jane

I enjoy every time I get my hair done with Miriam and Lily. Miriam is the best at color. She does a complex layering of teals, purples, pinks and blue foils that always makes me happy and leaves me feeling beautiful and colorful. The salon windows are huge and bring in so much light. My cuts are exactly what I want every time. I would suggest both of these lovely women…they are talented, they truly care about people and they are both so kind.

  • Tiffany White

I've been working with Andra since 2015 and honestly I wish I would have found her sooner. Not only is she hugely talented and passionate about her work but also she's just a wonderful person to be around. In my opinion she has always gone over and above in terms of taking the time to truly understand my individual hair health and needs and designing a unique hair regimen that actually works for me. I highly recommend Andra to anyone!!

  • Katie

My search for a hair stylist is over at last!! Marta worked hard to make sure my balayage was done how I wanted. She was very kind, patient, and did and amazing job! There was another girl getting her hair dyed at the same time. She did half and half and the colors turned out SO vibrant and gorgeous. My visit was not cheap but I got what I paid for! If you want excellent service and your hair done right, make your appointment ASAP!!

  • Emily Garlock

I’ve been going to Wip for awhile now and can’t imagine going anywhere else to get my hair cut/colored. The salon is always clean, tidy, and up to date. Seth is the absolute best! He is professional, easy to talk to, and so talented at what he does. He always goes above and beyond with my hair requests-it always comes out better than I expect! I wouldn’t trust anyone else other than him. I will be going here forever!

  • Kiki Dee

WiP is polished, accommodating, and delightful. I've had the joy of being one of Seth Stalcup's clients for years. He's a well-known master of blonde perfection, extension services, and technical haircuts. Seth works miracles with my salt & pepper pixie every time! I absolutely love each appointment because it is immaculately clean and feels like a down town oasis. I highly recommend the salon and Seth!

  • G Vorase

Best hospitality, Best Haircut, super friendly staff who takes care of you while you are there. Plus, their charges are super nominal as well. Its not gonna break your bank for sure. Miriam was the best stylist for me. I liked how she recommended a haircut that would look great on me and it was exactly what I was looking for. Definitely will be going there again and I recommend this place to everyone!

  • Aaron Becker

Jenna has cut my hair for as long as I can remember and she absolutely kills it everytime! She is so good at helping me find the right cut for me and has always done a stellar job bringing it to fruition. Not only is she great at cutting, coloring, and styling my hair, she is also someone I love talking to while in her chair! She brings so much fun and energy to the salon and makes my day everytime!

  • Anthony Vilhauer

WIP Downtown provides excellent service. My shampoo and scalp massage were very needed. I appreciated their friendly staff, the use of quality products, and the attention to detail. The studio is clean with an open design and, since it is on the second floor, the view provides an added bonus. Overall, you won’t go wrong with choosing them for any of their services and your needs. Highly recommended!

  • Elise French

Wip is the best salon in Indy! All the stylists are super friendly and talented. I've been going to the owner, Ransome, for years to get my hair cut and colored. They even do fantasy colors. My boyfriend goes to Haley for his cuts, and always looks very dapper. The salon itself is swanky but inviting and you will always feel welcome. You can schedule appointments online which is really convenient.

  • Kate Gundlach

This place is wonderful, the space is clean and beautiful but I am most impressed by the artistry and energy of Lily and Miriam! I had the privilege of having both of these incredible stylists work on my hair and I am thrilled with the results! It’s been a few weeks and I still can’t believe it looks this good!! These two are magical and I will definitely return to see them in the future!

  • Danielle Gerlach

I visited WiP for the first time to get a cut and color. I am so happy that I did. I brought in photos of what I (thought) I was looking for and consulting with Ransome, realized that I had the wrong idea about my hair. She listened to what I was looking for, made suggestions, and executed a GREAT hair appointment. I really enjoyed the entire process. I look forward to coming back!

  • Nicole New

I've been seeing Andra for years now. I was referred by a friend after struggling for years to find someone who could help with my naturally curly hair. She stays current with product and hair knowledge and helps me find styles and colors I absolutely love and feel confident with. My young son also gets his hair done by Andra and he absolutely beams with confidence afterwards.

  • Courtney E

Today was my third appointment with Ransome for color and deep conditioning treatment. She is fabulous and my hair looks amazing! We changed it up just a tiny bit this time, and the color is perfect! The ladies there are always so friendly and make sure you have been greeted and offered a beverage. This is also where I had my wedding updo done, and I cannot recommend it more!

  • Steve Krider

I was getting it cut short for the first time in almost ten years. I was able to chat with Alexis beforehand about what kind of look I had in mind, and she clearly put a lot of thought into it, before I ever stepped through the door. Not surprisingly, she nailed it! I went back recently for a trim, and couldn't be happier. Literally the best haircut experience I've ever had.

  • Kris Werner

WiP Downtown is a sleek, professional space with a great atmosphere. The stylists love their work and really listen to their clients no matter what the request. I went in to have my long hair cut quite a bit and my stylist Alexis Wingert did an extraordinary job. My cut was involved and done perfectly. I'm glad to recommend WiP to anyone. Thanks, Alexis!

  • Bridget Boling

I am EXTREMELY picky about who cuts my hair and Alexis is only the second person I've trusted with that task. She always knows what will look good on me and I don't even have to find a reference photo beforehand. I also recommend her and WiP downtown whenever someone is looking to get a new stylist or to have their hair done for a special event.

  • Whitney Alderson

WIP Downtown is the perfect place to get your hair done! I’m extremely picky when it comes to my hair and Ransome always delivers! The stylists take the time to understand what you want and they’re masters of color. The head massages are always amazing and the ambiance is wonderful. 10/10 would recommend to a friend or family member.

  • Sammantha Epperson

Seth did my hair a couple of weeks ago and did a really great job! It's been a long time since I've had my hair done professionally, so I was a bit nervous-- but he was very gracious, easy to talk to and willing to help guide me. The cut and color was just what I wanted! I have another appointment booked with him next month :-)

  • Cindy Wilson

I have never loved my hair until Lily & Miriam starting doing it. The blonde color is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Additionally, my teenage son said he never wants to go anywhere else for his haircut. Do yourself a favor and schedule your next appointment at Wip Downtown. If you want amazing results ask for Lily or Miriam. They ROCK!!!

  • Shelby Dillon

Such a cute spot for a salon with lovely, talented stylists! Have been going to Miriam for about 4-5 years and cannot say enough amazing things! She always nails exactly what I’m looking for and then some. Her friend, Lily, sometimes steps in to help and they both make you feel so welcome! I look forward to every appointment.

  • Anushka Pawale

Unprofessional and inconsiderate staff! I had a family health emergency and wanted to cancel my appointment! The lady on the phone kept telling me that I will have to pay a charge for cancellation, even though I called them 24 hrs prior! They are insensitive about their clients situation. Never going back to this place!

  • Ashley Spurgeon

10/10 I was so impressed with their salon. Their employees are absolutely amazing. They were able to get me in on a ridiculously short notice to get my hair done before my birthday. I will definitely go again and again. Shout out to Seth for bringing my Buffy vision to life. I cannot get over my haircut. I am obsessed.

  • Haley Struwe

YALL. Jenna ALWAYSSSS exceeds my expectations when she does my hair! She’ll knock it out of the park no matter what style/color you want. And she gives the best scalp massages…like trance inducing scalp massages, idk how she does it. Anyway, I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again - Jenna Fritts is a hair WIZARD.

  • Gracie Rosson

Jenna at WiP is a rockstar!! She does exactly what you come in for, and it always turns out even better than expected. I love coming to see her at WiP! The salon is so chic, and the location is super easy to find. WiP truly takes care of their clients, and an experience with Jenna is always an absolute delight!

  • Jessica Crandall

I absolutely love this place and all of their employees. Marta is a wonderful skilled hairdresser! She listens to what you want and provides expert advice on care and maintenance. She has taught me how to style and treat my hair. I highly recommend any of the girls here, they are all sweet and knowledgeable!

  • Diane Jones

Miriam is an absolutely marvelous stylist! She cut, colors and styles my hair. It always turns out perfect. Not only is she a great stylist she is very personable. You can always be guaranteed a warm sincere conversation that includes many smiles and laughs. You just can’t beat the total experience.

  • Adam Holte

I saw Marta yesterday for the first time. I thought I liked this cut when I left the studio, but when I woke up this morning I was stupid-happy when I brushed my hair literally twice and it looked perfect. Definitely one of the best cuts I’ve ever had and Marta is also a fantastic conversationalist.

  • Madison Csaszar

Alexis is seriously the best! Very hospitable and keeps great conversation and energy without letting it effect the quality of her art! It’s hard to find stylists with the passion both for the people and for their work these days. She is simply the most talented hairstylist I’ve been to! 12/10!

  • Shazmeen Shaikh

I came here to get my hair colored along with a haircut. The place was beautifully decorated and the people were extremely nice. Miriam and lily worked on my hair and made sure I get the exact result I wanted. They looked at the photos and gave recommendations best suited to my face.

  • Amber Strain

I cannot brag on Alexis enough. I absolutely recommend her for cuts, color, and styling! She gave me the most beautiful rosey hair color for my first ever dye, and consistently delivers incredible cuts. She’s very knowledgeable and works hard to make sure I get exactly what I want.

  • Alexa Larkin

Had a very unfortunate experience taking a group to get blowouts as part of my bachelorette party. Be careful booking appointments with a party until you're sure everyone can come and check if they will have enough stylists staffed. Also ended up having to redo my own hair after.

  • Stephanie Brueckmann

Miriam and Lily are absolutely amazing! They are so sweet and personable. They explain what they are going to do before starting their service, and treat all clients like they have known them for years. It is always a wonderful experience getting my hair done by either of them.

  • Lady Loki

Ransome, the owner, gave me an awesome haircut! Not super chatty, which I liked, but had a nice casual talks here and there that didn't feel forced. I do not get my hair done often but I finally found a place that left me feeling great about my hair when I left!

  • Lauren Dobias

Alexis is a master with curly hair. I wanted to cut 12 inches of hair off, and she made the short style incredible! (Right above shoulder) The layers are so beautiful and effortless. I put my hair half-up at work now because it looks too glamorous down.

  • Shea Temperly

I love this salon and recommend it to anyone looking for a place to get their hair done. The salon is gorgeous and if you're looking for professional color this is your place. Also check out my girls Miriam and Lily they are amazingly talented

  • Jennifer Becker

The salon is a beautiful place to visit! It has such a cool vibe! The stylists are friendly! Jenna Fritts does a phenomenal job! I have received highlights and haircuts from her! I couldn’t be happier! I highly recommend the salon and Jenna!

  • Ayla Patterson

This was my first time getting my hair done professionally since coming out. Miriam was warm, welcoming, and eased my anxiety about not know exactly what I wanted to do with my hair. I just gave a few suggestions and let her take it from

  • Shreeja mothi rupchandar

I made a last minute appointment for highlights and cut on a saturday and Ransome was accommodating enough to move some time around and get me an appointment. This is the first time I am getting highlights and I was made comfortable with

  • suzy st john

I’ve always had a great experience here and I recommend it to anyone searching for a new hair stylist. The atmosphere is great, the prices are reasonable, and I never leave disappointed. Ransome, the owner, cuts my hair and she’s amazing.

  • Kelly Snyder

Wonderful ambience, excellent service from all the staff. It's great to have a place that I know and trust. Go to WiP Downtown for the best salon experience. They can do just about anything. Check out their website gallery. it's awesome.

I went to a few different salons before finding WiP and I can’t recommend this place enough! Alexis is amazing and she helped pick out a color for my hair that looks perfect for me. The salon is spotless and everyone is incredibly nice.

  • Martina Best

Alexis gave me a gorgeous long hair, hair cut. I am so thrilled with it! I had an idea of what I wanted but could not find a picture. She nailed it! I’m travelling through but hope to be back as I’ll be wanting exact same cut.

  • Matt Grieser

Andra has cut my hair since 2013, and I will not let anyone else near my hair. I always leave feeling good. I have referred many a friend to get their haircut by her and have heard only good things. She can do it all!

  • Mike Price

I recent met my Daughter down her to spend time with her while she got her hair done. This place is really nice, friendly and Alexis did an amazing job. Her assistant was very nice too. Thanks for the great service

  • Eira Topé

Love this place! Seth always does a fantastic job with my pink hair. He got my hair from dark brown to like a light pink in one session, which is amazing. And the stylists are all so nice and super knowledgeable.

  • Holli Novinger

I've been to Wip twice now with Andra and it's been a great experience! She is very thorough with asking exactly what you want, does a great head massage and my hair has turned out exactly as I asked each time!

  • Tony Rodich

First time going here for a haircut. The stylists gave input and helped me realize what I wanted out of a haircut. They offered me a drink (which should be customary at shops). A very positive experience

  • Amanda Webb

I went to wip for the first time to get a major cut. At least half of my hair had to go! Alexis gave me a fantastic cut along with some great hair knowledge and an amazing shampoo. I found my new salon!

  • Dani Wilson

Ransome did an amazing job with both mine and my girlfriends hair. We highly recommend this Salon! I’ve never been to a Salon that will go as far as they do for client satisfaction and comfortability.

  • Mariah busz

I've been getting my hair done with Miriam for years now. She always does exactly what I want and some . I show her an idea off Pinterest and she works her magic. I've never been disappointed !

  • emily cunningham

I make the drive to see Jenna. She’s so sweet and amazing at what she does. I always leave feeling great and looking even better. Making an appointment at WIP is the highlight of my day. …

Jenna is the most charismatic, wonderful person! She gives a great shampoo and a fantastic cut. She’s been my go to for years and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone, with any kind of hair.

  • Kathryn Zemlock

Moved my appointment without telling me and charged me $165 when I didn’t show up to an appointment I didn’t know I had. Horrible experience and dishonest people. Would avoid at all costs.

  • Dreama Randolph

I went in with faded pink hair and came out with the blonde of my dreams ✨ Miriam and Lily worked great together and did a fabulous job on my hair!! Left feeling like a blonde queen

  • colsgirl16

Seth did an amazing job on my hair today!! Not only was he skillful and friendly but also extremely respectful and realistic with me about my hair. I will definitely be going back!

A professional and "hip" staff always makes it a fun experience I look forward to. Kimberly is one of the best (worked with Emmett Cooper "the Best of in Indianapolis Monthly")

Always a treat to go to WiP downtown. All of the stylists are friendly, talented, and accommodating and you'll really feel at home. Plus the space is gorgeous and relaxing!

Jenna Fritts does a great job with my hair! She has a friendly, positive attitude and is a joy to be around. You leave the salon looking and feeling like a million bucks.

Every thing was excellent. Thanks to all stylists. I had hair color and hair cut services by Ransome and she did awosome work. I highly recommend this amazing salon.

  • Shelley G

Andra has been cutting and coloring my hair for six years. I moved away from Indy in 2017, but still make the hour long trip to have her do my hair. She’s the best!

  • Cassidy Shauck

I have unfortunate hair - it’s thin and breaks easily. I have been going here for about a year now and my hair has never been healthier. Ransome is great!

  • Rachel Randolph

Exceptional service. Appointment was during pandemic regulations and wip seriously knocked it out of the park. Such thoughtful and wonderful people!

  • Jun Yam

Seth did absolutely an amazing job on my hair. He covered my grey and also gave a soft natural look and it needs only low maintenance. Thank you!

  • kelzey riggs

A beautifully lit, open space. Every stylist is talented on many levels (cut, color, wax, etc.) and owner Ransome gives the BEST scalp massages.

Got a full belayage by Seth and it turned out amazing!! He is a master at hair color and made my hair look so wonderful. 10/10 would recommend!
