My hair is super dry and thick usually intimidating for most stylists but Dana handled it with ease. She nailed the cut and color perfectly. I'll definitely be back! read more

Came in to get a layered curly cut my hair dresser was Dana she did a beautiful job and was very welcoming I love the way my curls look now would definitely recommend her!!! The shop was very clean and inviting as well. read more

Awesome place, would recommend. The hairdresser really listened to what I wanted and delivered.

I wish I could say that I had a great experience. I've gotten two haircuts and my hair colored, all by different people. My second and third time being there I was not listened to when I had shown reference pictures of what I wanted. The results, both times, I was disappointed. I bit my tongue the first time and tried to be optimistic- hair grows back you know. When I got my hair colored (face frame) by Rich, I was very specific on what I wanted and shared how anxious I was about the experience. The results turned out exactly how I didn't want it. It looked like a two year old took yellow paint to my hair..Although I asked plenty of questions through out the process for reassurance (also he coughed in my face when he was styling my hair) I couldn't leave that salon without it getting fixed by someone new. The lady who fixed it was kind and listened to me at least. I wanted to give this place a chance because I have type 2 hair and was excited a salon is specialized with texture hair, I will not be back though :( I hope others have a better experience, just wasn't meant for me. Make sure to be firm on what you want! read more

Beehive - Hair Salons Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

Having just moved from Chicago, I will admit I was nervous to get a haircut in Indiana. I have thick, naturally wavy hair that becomes a frizz-filled, triangle mess when my layers grow out. I always get nervous going to a new hairdresser, but especially so having moved from a big, diverse city. So, I combed through Reddit for reccomendations and came to The Beehive to see Eric after reading rave reviews...and this turned out to be THE BEST HAIRCUT EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. Eric was outgoing, friendly and professional. He made me feel heard and comfortable. The whole experience was interactional where he would stop every now and then and make me stand up and play with my hair to observe how I interacted with it. We went shorter on length than I initially wanted but I LOVE my new haircut. This has been the best haircut AND hair cut experience. Highly reccomended read more

Rich did a great job, and listened to what I wanted. Super happy, and I'll be returning there for sure!

I was looking for a new stylist as mine went on a leave of absence to care for her mother. I have long thick curly hair and needed to find someone who is familiar with my hair type. After searching I came across the Beehive. I also wanted to try Balayage and when I called to set up an appointment they recommended Donna. The color she chose was spot one and gave me several tips to care for my curly frizzy hair. I was so amazed with the outcome! I have received so many compliments on my balayage hair. Donna is amazing!! read more

I called in to make an appointment with Jessica after a friend recommended her- I left my number for a call back. When I received a call back the receptionist was very snarky toned, asking me to repeat several times asked what I was wanting to come in for- I told her " I usually do roots, highlights and a trim sometimes when needed" then there was dead air... for a long stretch... I finally said are you still there... "yes" ... (ok then why aren't you talking to me it's your turn) just not friendly at all, she asked for my phone number(cell) I gave it to her- then later she asked for my home phone number (who has landlines now days?) I said" it's the same." She said " umm...I'm on the computer you'll have to give it to me again" also in an unkind tone. I felt like a total burden and that I was to feel privileged to have her even talk to me! At this point I said you know what you're just your not coming off very friendly, I told her to forget it! Sad but I won't recommend this place if your very first encounter is this rude, I'm sure Jessica is a great stylist and I would have loved to have got the opportunity to find out but not with this type customer service! Tone is everything I have been in customer service for years! Some training is needed here, even if you are having a bad day or stressed (we have all had such days) which happens in a work environment don't come off that way to customers! read more

I read the reviews so took a chance and this place did not disappoint. I chose Eric as my stylist and I really love his ideas and how he is taking my mullet looking shag into something that I can half tolerate. All we can do is wait to grow out this cut but he is making the most of it read more

Only place in the Michiana area that knows how to deal with curly hair! Devacut-certified Lynn is excellent every single time! The decor is super colorful and fun--it feels very funky and inviting! This is the only place I go. read more

Loved my first cut here, and hanging out with Eric. He sized me up accurately as wanting some styling tutoring but not too complicated or involved a process. read more

Just had the most amazing experience at the Beehive. After an unfortunate visit at another, much more expensive salon in SB, I heard about the beehive. Eric was a god send! He is so friendly, he talked me through everything, and I absolutely loved and adored his work and my time I spent with him. Everyone at the salon is so nice and are truly deserving of your time and money -- your hair and happiness will thank you!! read more

Beehive - Hair Salons Near Me - South Bend, Indiana

See all

Jessica gave me a really great haircut! As someone with curly hair it can be rough to find someone that can properly cut and style curly hair. I have thick curly hair and for the first time in 28 years it is cut in a way that I makes my hair look cute and fun and not like a Lion's Mane. The salon is super cute with a retro vibe and the whole staff was super nice. read more

I had my first appointment with Eric to get a haircut. I knew I wanted to go short, but I had my doubts given my thick, wavy, frizzy hair. All that went out the window when I met Eric! He made me feel relaxed, confident, and BEAUTIFUL. Eric was very personable and really made me feel included throughout the entire process. The entire vibe of the salon was welcoming. You can tell that the staff love what they do. I most definitely recommend stopping by The Beehive, you won't regret it! read more

The only place I'll get my haircut. Wonderful locally-owned hair salon that provides every aspect of service that a salon should. Big city quality in downtown South Bend. I've been going there for years and have no plans to change to anywhere else. read more

Ah-MaZing!!!!! My appt was with Eric and I was SO nervous!!! I have botticelli curls and have had so many issues with it being cut wrong, people not understanding the texture, or just wanting me to straighten it. Eric could pick up on my nervousness and was so nice-like a long lost friend!! He not only made me feel at ease, but walked me through each step, gave me his background, and the background of his co-workers and totally reassured me. It really was like a great little family there and Im so excited to go back the next time I need a trim. Thank you so much Eric for your understanding and the light that you exude!! :) read more

I have been going to the Beehive for the past three years and am always impressed by their attention to detail, skill, and level of customer service. Both Jill and Jessica have done wonders with my curls and I would happily recommend the Beehive to anyone. read more

Eric and Dana are a wonderful wedding team. I'm a bride from out of town and took my event planner's word when she said to call Beehive for wedding day hair and makeup for the bridal party. Eric was exceptional in creating a beautiful style, and keeping the energy up and the ladies happy and excited. My friends that saw pictures of the wedding said they loved the makeup, and how it wasn't overwhelming - the credit for my wedding face goes to Dana. Thank you Eric and Dana for making a special day! read more

My daughter loves the beehive. its conveniently located for us. She gets a great cut and color.Jill the owner is really nice.

Where has this salon been my whole life??? I have very curly hair and I learned more about how to manage my hair in my one hour blow out appointment with Eric then I learned in the last 20 years I have been straightening my hair! I will definitely be going back! Thank you Eric for the AMAZING blowout! read more

Lynn O was amazing - best curly haircut I've had in 10 years and the color is perfect!

This cosy little place is so welcoming and wonderful! I felt very at home and I'm usually very nervous in hair salons and they made me feel super comfortable. Dana cut my hair and did a wonderful job with my poor description of what I wanted. She did a lovely cut and style and I feel confident and so happy with my new hair. They listened to my long rambles and were very fun to chat to. One of my best experiences and I will be back again. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great time and a unique experience. read more

Jill gave me a great cut, thank you Jill! In the 10 years I lived in San Diego, I have not managed to find a place that cuts my hair right. And i looked and paid a lot of money in the process. I gave up on them and had my cut done during my travels to Asia or Europe, not an optimal solution if the trips are 2-3 months apart. Most salons in the US specialize in hairs that are not mine. I had a cut by Jill and I love my hair again, like I haven't since I was 20. I have thick wavy hair that I thought that it can't be tamed anymore. Jill made it look young and happy again. read more

I love the Beehive and Jill. I have very curly hair, and Jill has given me the best haircuts of my life--far better than cuts I paid twice as much for in major cities. I've also gotten my hair colored several times by a few different Beehive staff members, and I've been happy every time. The place has a great vibe--everyone is warm and enthusiastic, and it's great to walk into a salon where everyone is excited about your curly hair, as opposed to intimidated / annoyed / wanting you to straighten it. read more

Dana is amazing! She has cut all of my kids' hair and does a fantastic job. I have two teenage daughters and she did updos and makeup for their winter formal. They looked amazing! She also colored my daughter's hair and it is beautiful. Finally, she handled my 5-year old son with ease! Thank you. Dana! read more

I came in as a walk-in and came out with my favorite haircut ever- thank you Jenny Jones!!! I will definitely be headed back there soon!
