Studio M Salon in Bloomington, IN

New location (super nearby, between Brothers & B-town Diner), same great people. It's not quite as fancy a space as the old one, but they tried, and I care way more about the quality of the haircut than the interior design of the space anyway. They're taking tons of COVID precautions (cleaning absolutely everything from chair to sink, etc between each guest), spacing clients apart, limiting appointments, etc. Erin, the super talented woman who cuts my hair, told me they plan to keep the cleaning precautions in place even after COVID because it's just good practice.

This was my first real haircut in a year and a half. So I had split ends, self trimmed bangs, and was generally looking a mess in her eyes I'm sure haha. She fixed me right up to the usual amazing style she always does. Erin is able to understand the look you're going for and just go to town with it, and has great advice on what would look good if you're indecisive like me. She's fun to talk to but does a good job of also giving some time for you to be quiet and relax. I've been to several salons in Bloomington and this is by far the best one. Especially if you've got wavy hair (like me), curly hair (like one of my friends who has followed Erin to every place she's worked for years because she's that good), or you just like edgy fun cuts in general. I'm sure she can do more traditional styles too, but why do that when you can get something fun instead?

Jessica was my hairdresser. I asked for a light brown balayage and left with a silver front framing piece and had chunks of color on top of my head where she attempted to start my balayage. I texted her and sent pictures of the mess and not only was she unable to get me in to fix it but also failed to apologize to me. Here's a picture of one of the brassy  chunks. I also had two right in front of my hair. Save your money, don't go to her. I had a young lady at Ulta fix my botched hair after I tried to fix it with box dye.

I spent a long time searching for the perfect salon once we moved to the area, and finally stumbled upon Haley at Studio M. She was able to get me in within a few days for a cut and balayage and she did an unreal job! She is truly a master of blonde.  I am so so glad I found such a sweet stylist at such a cute salon!

Jamie and Maria from Studio M did hair, lashes, and make-up for my wedding day. I cannot recommend them enough! I went to college at IU but now live in Phoenix so I stumbled across Studio M's page while long-distance researching/planning my wedding. I am SO glad I did. They did an amazing job and everyone loved their looks! They not only made everyone look and feel fabulous for the big day but also created a fun and relaxing pre-wedding atomosphere. They did on-site hair/make-up for the wedding day, however, I was able to visit the actual salon for a hair/make-up trial appointment -- it is a gorgeous space with a great location right off the downtown square. I honestly wish Studio M could be my regular salon. Would highly recommend any future brides and everyone in Bloomington take advantage of this amazing salon:)

The best in Bloomington. The salon is a clean, sunny and parking is convenient. Maria, the owner, has been my stylist for a very long time and I have never been dissatisfied with the cut. Every one there is a winner!!! You will not regret going.
