I don't usually write reviews, but this place was fantastic, and I feel obligated to write one because this place definitely doesn't get the recognition that it deserves. I have curly/wavy hair and am SUPER picky about where I get my haircut at, but she did an ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL JOB. If you're looking for a haircut, I HIGHLY recommend coming here (rather than some of the fancy and pretentious salons that you often see in Scottsdale). read more

Indielocks - Local artist Eddie Gomez at Indielocks Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Erin is the best friend you never knew you needed that gives the scalp massage, cut, color, and conversation you could ever want from your hair dresser! I was laughing and chatting throughout out entire appointment and she is a seriously skilled cosmetologist. I described what I was looking for, what my hair style typically is, and SHE DELIVERED. I am so SO happy with my hair cut, color, and style I have yet to wash my hair because I don't want to rinse away the magic...gross I know but don't judge. Erin is a down to earth, lovely woman who you and your hair need in your life! read more

Indielocks - Thank you Erin for doing a phenomenal job on my hair! You never cease to amaze me with your work! - Hair Salons Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

The best stylist in scottsdale. As a male with long hair I'm picky where I go, I get my hair cut here once a month and Erin always does an exceptional job!! Plus i enjoy the Super relaxing studio with great tunes a free beer or two and great company!! read more

I went to Erin Michelle to get my hair cut about one month ago. I'm new to the area and needed to find someone to go to, and since I like alternative hairstyles, she seemed like a good fit. I called and left her a message and got a call back within a couple of hours. Her studio in Old Town Scottsdale was relatively easy to find. She was finishing with another client when I arrived, but she was very warm and friendly when greeting me, and I didn't mind waiting a few minutes. (She even offered me a beer which was a first for me. Awesome.) I had no idea how I wanted my hair cut, but she was very patient with me. We discussed it for a few minutes and I told her she had free reign. She was very personable, and we chatted about various things as she washed (she truly is amazing with the scalp massage) and cut my hair. In what felt like no time, she was finished. Then, she did a fantastic job styling it for me (which I was never able to replicate, unfortunately). This was the most I've paid for a haircut, but it was still reasonable, and worth it. I've received a lot of compliments on my hair in the past month. She also answered any questions I had about the products she was using, which I appreciated. Highly recommended. read more

Just had the best hair cutting/styling experience ever! Erin is incredibly approachable, sweet and very professional. She took the time to talk about my needs and helped me make a decision about my hair. I wanted something new but didn't want to make a huge, drastic change. We decided on a color and style and she went to work. She was quick but very detailed. She took the time to show me how to style it too. Also she was very honest about what different products do and there was NO sales pitch for any products. I found her studio to be so laid back, totally clean and very comfortable. You really get the feeling that you are the only one there, because you are! It was private and very relaxing. I never felt rushed or hurried. She left plenty of time between appts. I cannot wait to refer everyone I know to her. It was a great experience and I can't wait to come back! read more

In short, Erin Michelle owner of Indielocks is AMAZING! Before I found Erin, my hair maintenance was subpar. When I very first moved to the valley I went to many different salons and I was never really impressed by the skills or service that I was paying for. When I met Erin, that all changed and I have been going to her for 6 years now! My husband and mother have even started seeing her within the last couple years too! Erin has impeccable attention to detail, focuses on hair health and strength, as well as takes the time to listen and explain any questions I have regarding hair upkeep, maintenance or styling. She is also on point when it comes to hair fashion, trends, and happy to explore new looks and styles! When my appointment is nearing an end, Erin always shows and explains the step by step process to best achieve the look I want with my new do! Indielocks is aesthetically pleasing, relaxing and provides a smooth, tranquil ambiance. I swear, every time I visit Erin it is like a mini-vacation! Furthermore, I would highly recommend Erin for any hair needs for special occasions! The best decision I ever made was having Erin do hair for my wedding. Not only did she do exactly what I was looking for, she also styled my (four) bridesmaids as well as my mother and they all looked fabulous! She was so fast and really honed into each individual personality and style. Needless to say, I highly recommend Erin---give her a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Erin is an EXCELLENT shop owner and stylist. She is open, personable, and a master of her craft. I'm always a little bit nervous going to someone new, but Erin spent time talking not only about what I'd like to do at this visit, but also encouraged me hang in there another month or two til my bangs are really grown out. I've been attempting to grow them out for about a year, and each time they hit this awkward stage, I get them cut again. Anyone who's ever grown out bangs, knows the last stretch is the WORST. She gently blended them in, so as they keep growing, it'll actually look good. Amazing! Super glad I found Erin, and recommend her wholeheartedly! read more

She was horrible and inexperienced! Don't waste your time or money! I work in the area as a professional consultant and used Yelp to look her up before going to the Salon. All the ratings seemed great but one would suspect she must have had her personal friends rate her to make her look better. She didn't listen to me for what I wanted and left me sitting for far too long causing me to miss my next appoint for the day, which when I called her she assured me she could get done within the time I asked her. As for her "skills", not so great either. She kept ripping out my hair leaving my head soar and my color didn't come out right. I had to go back to my original salon and spend an additional $120, (on the other side of town) to have them correct her poorly done coloring job! As for her salon, not very professional environment at all! She kept talking on the phone on constantly using the "F" word and other profane language! Honestly, I felt like she was too unprofessional to have a shops. Stick to your mainstream salons if you want quality. In conclusion, reconsider going elsewhere if you want someone that can take instruction and has some class. Her photos from her website are so misleading, must have ripped off someone else work. I will not be returning here ever again. read more

I have been going to Erin for over a year now and she is amazing! Not only is she super professional but she really takes the time to understand what you want as a customer. I always get so many complements on my color! I highly recommend her and as a bonus you will always have a good time : D read more

I have been going to Erin for about six years and still enjoy her cutting and coloring my hair. I like that she ask me everytime I get my hair done if I want the same or change it up; she doesn't assume! She's very friendly and I like that she doesn't rush. Great Job, Erin! read more

Erin is awesome! I always leave feeling beautified AND relaxed after her amazing scalp massage! Prices are very reasonable and she is sweet and really cares about her clients. I highly recommend Indielocks! read more

I have very challenging hair - extremely thick and curly, but without a good pattern to the curl. And I do not like to spend a lot of time on my hair - I am very low maintainence. Erin first cut my hair last summer and gave me the best cut I have ever had - and color too. First the first time in my life - and I am 43 - I could manage my hair, without doing hardly a thing to it. I kept getting that cut until yesterday when I asked her to cut it shorter. I always where it long to weigh the curls down and make it more manageable, but I wanted to have something more playful for the summer. Well, Erin did it again - a new fabulous cut. I highly recommend her and her prices are great too! read more

I made a yelp account just so I could let everyone know HOW AWESOME ERIN IS! This was my first visit to her and I couldn't be happier. She made me feel comfortable and made sure I was comfortable with the cut. Her facility was personable and clean, she holds great and intelligent conversation and is located in old town Scottsdale. Does it get better than this? not really. She rocks, for the first time ever I am actually looking forward to my next haircut! highly recommended, look no further. Indielocks is where its at folks. read more

Erin Michelle has just moved to Old Town Scottsdale!! She is now running her own salon. I would highly recommend trying her out. She is very particular on how she cuts your hair, always checking and rechecking. Her coloring skills are amazing. Please give her a try..,you won't be sorry. read more

A consistently great cut is what I get from Indielocks! Even when its time for a style change, Erin is ready with tips on how to maintain a great look. Get the shampoo, her scalp massages are amazing! She's also great with eyebrow/face waxes as well. Be sure to schedule in advance for those important times, and she can be a little flexible with her hours if you call well ahead of time. I wouldn't go anywhere else after this kind of service. read more
