I started going to Alan at Appearances nearly ten years ago, back when they were in the old location across Lynhurst. There have been some gaps, especially when I lived out of state, but I was so glad to already know of a great stylist when I moved back to Indy. Alan is one of the only people I have ever felt like I could trust with my hair. He is the best!
My most recent visit was this Tuesday afternoon. I did not have to wait long. I was early and my appointment began right on time. I could not be more pleased. I loved the Biolage shampoo he used on my hair, as well as the minty conditioner that left my scalp tingly. It had been two and a half years since my last cut so I had a long pony removed. Alan was kind enough to offer to mail it in to Locks of Love for me.
He asked me some questions about how I wanted my hair and it is perfect. He left it just long enough that I can pull it back if I want, but I might wear it down more now because I love how he styled it. He was kind to me about my anxiety issues and I felt at ease being in this lovely shop. He even posed for a photo for me so I could show off what he cut off. I plan on returning more often to keep up on my lovely new do.
The shop is right on the corner of 16th & Lynhurst in Speedway. It is nicely decorated with a comfortable waiting area of chairs and lounges. I love everything from the amount of lighting to the temperature being just perfect as well. Not warm and not freezing with a blasting a/c. The other man that was working is also a sweetheart. It is a relatively small shop that is not overwhelming like some others I have been to that are so busy that you are being rushed in and out. My cut was quite reasonably priced, especially for such skill and service.
I feel well taken care of here. There is definitely a reason I have returned many times over the ten years since I first discovered Appearances. I have had nothing but the best experiences here and I could not give a higher recommendation for haircuts. I can't wait to go back. read more
