Bambu Salon in Indianapolis, IN

If you're looking to switch up salons or work/live around Broad Ripple here is your spot! Booking is insanely easy online or you can call in. At time of booking online you pay a 50% deposit. This may turn some people off but I like prepaying for mine so I don't have to pay the whole amount on the day of service- works better for my budget! The staff is so friendly too!

Upon arrival (not earlier than your scheduled appt) your temperature is taken and you are asked to wash your hands. There is also a giant wall of products you can purchase, I'm always tempted- maybe soon!

I've been going to Kendyl. She's great with my Balayage and long cuts. Today I just had a cut and style so don't judge my roots in the photo- my choice! I scheduled a color next month.

Finding a hairstylist is not one of my favorite things to do. I've unfortunately have had bad luck finding someone to listen to what I want and actually executing my wishes. Its very frustrating..OH and then getting your heartbroken when you find THE ONE and she decides to quit cutting hair and go back to school... noooo, don't improve your life...I need a haircut...come baaack!!

I digress...I knew I wanted to go to an Aveda salons try their products, my hair has been through the ringer with the crap products I put in it...and a place close by my house with later hours...hello Bambu.

I was greeted by my stylist, Celisa, and shown where the bathroom was to wash my hands (this is definitely going to be the new norm). I sat down and we discussed what I want to do with my hair now (pre wedding) and what my future goals are (short, blue hair). I explained my frustration with massive hair loss lately. I appreciate that she didn't push me to buy Aveda products, but told me to research her product suggestion and gave me some tips that I could do (e.g, massage scalp, rise with cool water to close cuticles).

We decided on not doing a full haircut because I want my hair long for my wedding and doing a much needed hair conditioning treatment. I totally recommend doing a treatment..nice little scalp massage and hot towel for 10 or so minutes (I was so relaxed I kind of snoozed).

I loved my experience here at Bambu and I hope that Celisa will be my hairstylist forever (or at least till I move T.T). I can't wait to come back in 6 weeks!

Odds and ends: Parking directly in the back or meter on the street. Masks are required and all staff are wearing them. They have hand sanitizer and sanitize the washing station immediately after each customer. They seem to space customers out, so we were not right next to each other. Celisa had another customer after me and I noticed she put her at another station since the chair I wasn't at wasn't sanitized yet. You guys are awesome!

We recently moved to Broad Ripple and I needed a new stylist. The dreaded change. Ugh. Well, I'm here to tell you I am be happy camper!!!  Kendyl was awesome!! She nailed my blonde and knocked my haircut out of the park!! I rebooked immediately and will continue to rebook. You won't be disappointed!

I've been going to Bambu Salon for about one year, and I've had a great experience with my hair stylist James! He is not only a good and knowledgeable stylist, he also has a fun, outgoing personality. I have straight, thin hair, and James knows how to cut it to achieve optimal volume and fullness.

The gals here made me look so pretty for my son's wedding. I got lots of compliments. It made me feel really special. Keep up the good work. I will always be grateful. Thank you.
