I found Kurlykoils by searching for a natural hair salon with experienced stylist and good ratings. Alayah was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, patient and thorough. The salon was neat and cute and had a welcoming vibe. Alayah reviewed the products and the proper use of each for maximum benefit. I really appreciate that she didn't overbook so she could take the time needed for me to have a successful experience. it was nice to see young professionals with the values to draw in clients of all backgrounds. I'd never had a wash and go that lasted beyond day one. Alayah's wash and go lasted me several days with little effort. It was a great appointment and experience. read more

I went in for a Flat Twist & Two-Strand Twist with Noel and she did the best job!!! I'd never gotten two strand twists or flat twists done professionally but I will keep coming back for them. Noel was meticulous with my lines and making sure everything looked great. I am so happy with the finished look! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Lay. I learned soooooo much about how to take care of my curls. She was personable while also educating me. I'll be back! read more

I cannot recommend this salon, as I believe every client deserves a stylist who prioritizes care, empathy, and passion over profit. As women, we share an emotional, physical, and spiritual connection to our crowns. Because of that, it's essential to have a stylist with genuine passion for what they do--not someone who treats it like a money grab, which happened in my experience here. Unfortunately, my stylist, Alayah, dismissed my concerns entirely. When I reached out about my hair color fading in less than three weeks, she showed no empathy, no accountability, and no regard for how I felt. Instead, she told me to "find a stylist in my area since my budget was low." That was beyond disappointing. I attached a photo below our my kind message with her un empathetic response. For context: I live out of state. The first time I came, I loved my results so much that I booked again and flew back just a few weeks ago for another appointment. This time, the color barely lasted, and when I politely messaged her, her response implied I should pay again for a correction--despite me already having paid for the original service, plus flights, plus a higher in-person price than what was listed online. She also knew I had arranged my travel entirely around her availability, yet I was still treated as nothing more than a dollar sign. There was a true lack of care, professionalism, and customer service skills. I once posted a TikTok recommending this salon, which had over 30,000 views, but I can no longer stand by that. Hair is not "just hair." It deeply affects people's confidence, and in some cases, damage can be irreversible. Stylists should treat this work with passion and respect! I strongly encourage you to value yourself and find someone who TRULY loves their craft and can give your curls the TLC they deserve. As an influencer, I purposely use my platform for this reason - to celebrate curls, freedom, beauty, femininity, and authenticity. Our crowns deserve stylists who honor that connection--not ones who treat clients like dollar signs. read more

So I finally decided to take care of my curly natural hair and try Kurlykoils. It was absolutely the best decision that I have ever made. I first had a consultation with Deja. The shop was clean, the vibe was peaceful and relaxing. She did an amazing job explaining everything to me one what they do at the shop and then what I should do moving forward to book. Deja made me real comfort and more at ease after my consultation. Once I made it back to my vehicle I immediately booked my new client appointment with Deja. When I came in for my new client appointment I was greeted and was asked to wash my hands. Something I love being OCD. I was offered free snacks and water. I was then told that my stylist was finishing up with her client and would be right with me. I waited only a few minutes and after Deja cleaned her area we got right to it. Deja explained every thing to me as she did things step by step. She even gave me a mirror so that I could see what the product was doing to my hair. This is something I have never experienced in my 43 years of getting my hair done. The process was absolutely amazing and I love the care given to my hair and color. I was not in the shop all day and my appointment time was did not run over. Once we were finished with my hair I was offered all of the products that were used in my hair during my appointment. I blight all of them! My curls are defined in a way that they have never been before and my style is beautiful. Deja is wonderful and I am happy to say I have finally found me a new stylist that I trust and believe in to take care of my hair the right way. Oh did I mention all the products are clean. I love Kurlykoils!!!! read more

The scalp rejuvenation and steam treatment was a nice relaxing add to my usual Customized Curly Cut. Britteny has educated me on styling, products, and overall natural hair care! read more

Curly hair is not for the faint of heart. These stylists are truly changing lives - I know what I go through on wash day and it's my hair, so the fact that they do it with a smile is always impressive. Deja always gets me together for pictures, weddings, when I'm too lazy to do it myself, and more. She's been extremely helpful in my transition away from being a product junky to finding the products that promote both healthy hair and the look I want. The aesthetics of the salon are perfect...and they have snacks! read more

I am so happy that I found Kurlykoils! I have learned how to care for my hair and the products that work best. I feel more confident managing my curls.

I attended this salon in August after deciding it was time to learn a better routine for my coily/curly hair that I was having issues keeping moisturized. I was also tired of trying so many products on my hair and not finding the right ones that gave me the same results every time. I made my appointment with Deja, who did such an amazing job educating me and giving my hair a beautiful shape. Moisture retention and healthy hair is key, so I gladly had some inches chopped. I walked out with so much knowledge, better quality hair products that actually simplified my wash day, and the best wash and go I had ever had! I feel so much more confident doing my hair at home now. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

My daughter and I attended the Children's Workshop on January 28. My daughter has 4C hair was wanting to take a break from braids. Britteny was efficient, extremely knowledgeable and most importantly not afraid to correct any bad habits we brought in with us. I highly recommend this class for moms like me, White mom with a Black daughter, or for any family looking to build a better routine. And... very happy to report we had an easy morning before school today! read more

The wash and conditioning was great, I did not like the style and cut I received for the price, my hair is short and I got a different style than what I wanted, she talked me into the wash and go which was cool that day, but the price was over kill.

I have never cried after a hair appointment. And the fact that I cried after this one should tell you a lot. I made an appointment for 1 PM for a "LUV session". The day of at 11 AM I get a text that my appointment has been pushed back by 45 minutes. No apology, no reason why, and no option to rebook for another day. Just a very abrupt and somewhat rude way of communicating. I responded asking if there were other options and my text was ignored. I took the risk and drove there, and got to my appointment a little after 1:45pm. Right when I entered salon, I was immediately told to go wash my hands and sit in the chair. Again no explanation of why. Just overall a very rude way interacting with a new customer. (If it was for Covid protocols, at least be courteous, and mention that). But I highly doubt that's the reason because no one was wearing a mask, and the place wasn't even that clean. The back room where I was asked to wash my hands was chaotic and looked dirty. She started on my hair by shampooing and talking me through all the different products I "should" be using. A few products she mentioned, I had already had already tried them, but I don't use them because they coated my hair in the worst way (i.e they left my hair in a sticky, coated, tangled mess). I told her that I liked more volume and I didn't care for definition. She tried to convince me that the best way to have 4c hair is weigh it down with a gel if a customer tells you how they like their hair don't ignore that. I have been a natural for as long as I can remember, so I know how to take care of my hair. I came to this appointment because after moving here, the hard water in Indianapolis has been really damaging to my hair, and I wanted a "professional" to take a look. Thankfully, she WAS able to recommend a product for hard water--but I'd argue that you can find a same product by a quick google search of "hair products for hard water". The "LUV session" doesn't include a cut, but after my hair was done, she insisted that my hair was in a "heart shape" and it needed to be fix. Even though I told her I like my hair like that. I only wanted to cut if I had damaged ends, but she did not mention at any point that my ends were damaged. I think SHE just didn't like my hair shape. I gave up and agreed to let her style it, but I said "just don't cut it into an umbrella/triangle shape, if you can make it round that be perfect". So I relaxed and gave her a chance. After about 15 minutes, she was done cutting and spun the chair around so I could take a look--and I immediately wanted to cry. She gave me the exact cut I didn't want. My hair looks like the shape of a triangle (with a side part). She cut the back of my hair extremely short and then the middle sections were left long. If you only know how to cut one hairstyle, just say that--and let people know you can't do anything else! The day after my appointment, I woke up with sections of my hair STILL damp with clumps of gel and the back curls had started to dread up--all the exact reasons why I don't use the product she recommended. I texted asking for suggestions of alternatives, again my text was ignored and no response. The kicker after all of this, is that the total appt was $280. What a complete waste of money. Red flags throughout the whole appt, and I wish cancelled after that first text. But I couldn't because I had already made a $50 deposit. TLDR; ONLY go here in you have 0 clue how to take care of your natural hair and you are TRULY desperate. Otherwise you'll end up with a janky cut that makes your look like an umbrella coated in gel read more

I went to Kurly Koils after doing extensive research online. I've lived in Indianapolis for close to 2 years now and hadn't found the perfect fit for a salon. I now have that fit. Deja walked me through everything she was doing and helped educate me on what my curls needed and how to fix my routine to meet those needs. After the appointment, she gave me a list of the products she used in my hair so that I could continue my healthy hair journey at home. I would definitely recommend Kurly Koils and Deja to anyone looking to get their curls right! read more

I am really happy with the way my hair looks! I wanted a cute, curly bob as my hair was super long from having my baby. My hair required so much hair products and I am so glad I took a step in a different direction and had Britteny cut it. She was very knowledgeable, patient, and willing to walk me step by step with my haircut. I really love how she talks through her entire process. It makes me feel as though I know what is happening and overall educated on the process. Let's talk about the shop, the shop was beautiful! When you first walk in, she has an area for you to sit and do homework or whatever work you need to do. So def bring your laptops! She offers coffee with cute mugs that have her logo on it. Her shop is very cute, girly, bright and overall happy. I definitely recommend Kurly Koils for your next curly hair style read more

I had an appointment with Deja and learned so much about how to maintain my curls. After being natural for almost 20 years, I'm really now rethinking what healthy moisturized hair means. Using only shampoo (which I had stopped using) conditioner and gel, my curls feel soft and are still elongated days later!! I ended up purchasing the products used on my hair and even dumped my old products. I'm not a fan of sitting under the dryer but I may need to get one! read more

I have had frizzy, wavy hair for ages not knowing I actually had curly hair. I've tried so many products and watched videos online to no avail. I finally decided to get professional help, and I'm glad I did! Alayah was knowledgable and answered all of my questions. She even gave me a mirror so I could see her technique on how to apply products, diffuse my hair, etc. Very happy with my service and proud to support a locally owned salon!

The best place to go if you have curly hair, I literally will never let another person touch my hair again. LOOK NO FURTHER. Before I came here, I wore my hair up in buns and braids. I could never wear my hair out and down. I hated my hair and often shaved it. It would also just never grow and kept breaking. I watched video after video and article after article. I just couldn't get it right?! I was fed up.. This was my last straw. A curly hair stylist. After letting the team here teach me everything and reset my hair, my hair is now steadily growing and I wear it down every day. Turns out the problem was I wasn't applying product to the crown, and my crown was breaking while everything else was growing. Now I part my hair in SEVERAL sections.. not just 4 or 5. Then I listening to the videos and wasn't getting trims, so it was all stunted growth as well. Then I was listening to the articles and not washing my hair as much, which was silly too!! Don't be like me, go to a professional!! Everyone is always so nice, and accommodating. It seems pricy but honestly every penny is worth it. The hair products also seem pricy but they LAST and they WORK. You will have salon hair every single time you wake up. I used to wake up everyday and struggle and be frustrated. Now I have a good routine and I just can go!! Weight lifted off my shoulders.! Make sure you leave following their instructions and using the products they recommend . Come back for your trims!!! Your hair will finally grow, and You will not be disappointed . read more

I waited a long time for my appointment and when it finally arrived I was very excited. From the moment I walked in there was just an amazing vibe.

All the things she was able to tell me about my hair and how to care for it, make me feel totally empowered. I can't wait for my next appointment! read more

Kurlykoils - Fresh from KurlyKoils - Hair Salons Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I received my first and last hair cut at KurlyKoils salon. Let me start off by saying I paid my hard earned luxury money for a less than abysmal experience, and here's why: 1.) When I arrived to my appointment 10 minutes early, my stylist was 20 minutes late to my appointment. 2.) According to the website, new clients are not allowed to book express cuts their first visit... when my stylist asked me if I wanted to do an express cut, I was surprised with this being my first appointment. I booked the full experience of the WASH AND FULL CUT. I felt like I was being rushed out the door even though she was the one who was late. For clarity, being rushed is something a client can absolutely feel. 3.) My hair is not long nor is it thick. It takes about 25m to dry under heat. I sat under the hair dryer for about 1h and 20 minutes while my stylist took another client. She did not even check if I was dry during this time. She just left me there. 4.) On the website, the service that I chose takes 2 hours. 2 hours had passed before we even got to the cut itself. The cut is why I came in the first place. 5.) Once I'm in my stylists' chair again, she tells me that my "hair actually looks fine and I don't even need a cut". At this point, I'm incredibly frustrated because I haven't had a cut since January and I've been there for 2 hours just to hear her say I don't need it. I'm very informed about my hair, and I knew I was past due for one. Also, I wanted a cut for style purposes. Once again, it felt like she was again trying to rush me out the door. 6.) I asked her to cut it anyway because I'm due, and I want a new shape! The cut itself takes no more than 20 minutes. As a fellow licensed cosmetologist and Deva Cut certified stylist, 20 minutes is NOT sufficient time to do a thorough curly cut. 7.) We walk up to the register and to my surprise, I'm charged an additional $50, on top of the $120 for the actual service because I'm a new client to the salon. I was completely mystified . This information was not visibly upfront on the website when I booked. Apparently, the new customer fee is located under the " Frequently asked questions" tab which feels very deceiving and misleading. 8.) Lastly, despite my unfulfilling experience, I initially liked my haircut. A few days later, I blow dried my hair to do a protective style. To my surprise, it was drastically UNEVEN! The left side was significantly longer than my right side. As a curly stylist, I am aware that curly hair falls differently than straight when cutting. However, when time is taken to do the cut properly, there should never be a remarkably visible difference in length. I paid for a luxury hair cut only to end up fixing it myself. Completely unacceptable and disheartening. I was very very disappointed, unhappy, and frustrated with my whole experience. As much as I want to and love to support black businesses, I simply cannot muster up the tenacity to ever support this salon again. The staff and service rendered reflected poorly on the owner unfortunately. My experience made me feel as though neither I or my black dollars were valuable to this business. My goal is to never tear down another black business. However, because my experience was poor and costly, full transparency is owed to everyone considering using this service. To anyone who reads this review, I hope your experience will be farrrrrrr better than mine. KurlyKoils, please do better. read more

Kurlykoils - Finished curls - Hair Salons Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

So...I had been putting off booking with this salon because the cost of good natural hair care is expensive and lets be honest we all think we can get by on a YouTube or TikTok degree. My experience at KurlyKoils was unforgettabl. Alayah taught me so much about caring for my hair. It was curly magic in the space all afternoon because you won't see straight hair in this space - no ma'am! Natural curls only. Us curly girls know the stresses for these tresses so we support each others journey. This is felt throughout the room. We even clapped for a client heading out the door to enjoy her freshly done hair. I left with a list of instruction, to-dos, and product to continue my journey. Thank you Alayah! Thank you KurlyKoils. I've told everyone that asks about my hair where to go and it's this place. Period! read more

After years of heat damage and straightening my curly hair only to re-curl it into curls I actually wanted, I was finally ready to start loving, embracing, and most importantly taking care of my curls. Step one in all the curly hair blogs is to get a 'curly haircut'. That's sounds like a very lucrative task. But luckily, I was referred to Alayah who is 1 of 2 immensely talented stylists who specializes in curly hair and she made the whole transition so easy. She walked me through everything she was doing in order for me to be able to it at home. We talked through products, process, styling, everything! Alayah really takes care of her clients and works to get to know you. She regularly posts on her hair Instagram (which she invites you to follow) curly hair tips. Which is invaluable for someone beginning their curly journey. This place is the perfect spot if you have any curls or waves you want to enhance. Plus, their new location is next to Chilly Water.... not a bad spot to be! read more

Kurly Koils was amazing. Its a nice clean, calm, inviting, drama free atmosphere. Everyone was so nice and polite. I am very observant of my surroundings and here are the things I loved other than the aforementioned: -Diversity of stylist and clientele -Professionalism upon entry and throughout my appt -My stylist Alayah did not ask me what I wanted and got to work. I sat down and she asked me to tell her about my hair, what products I use, what i want to achieve , etc. Then she gave me feedback (not criticism) and told me what she planned on doing to achieve what I wanted. -During my service she told me every step what she was doing and what she was using and how to properly use the products myself -During my treatment I noticed that they compliment each others work and learn from each other (I heard one stylist say, "that looks good, what did you do......Im going to try it that way on my next client") -They give you the knowledge and the tools (product in the shop to buy) to maintain your curls until your next visit. Best salon I ever been to hands down ! Definitely a loyal client read more

READ BEFORE BOOKING A COLOR: I was very excited for my color and had waited 3 months for it. I booked with Alayah. This was my second time ever having color and first time with highlights versus lowlights. The red highlights were very cute for the first week and a half (see before pics below). When it was time to wash my hair (with Innersense which is also used in the salon), I noticed the red rinsing down the drain. I then saw the red had faded from my hair and it looked orange and you can see where the bleach was added (see pics below). I reached out to Alayah to let her know what happened and sent pics, and haven't received a clear resolution. Do not get color here unless you'd like to spend $300 for a color to last 1.5 weeks or plan to never wash your hair ever. Being that my sole purpose was for color I'm giving it a 1 star, but if you'd like to go for styling they're pretty good at that. read more

I was charged extra $100 for the same service I received just 4 months ago. Their justification was that their prices increased almost 2X.

Asked for golden blonde and I have orange hair. read more

I recently visited Kurlykoils for the first time. I had an appointment with Kiana. I had a lot of heat damage and thinning hair. Kiana not only removed the damaged hair, she cut it into a style that showcased my curls and disguised my thinning areas. Kiana is very knowledgeable. She explained/showed me every step of the process and provided me with information to take care of my hair at home. The atmosphere in the salon was great. The owner and stylists work together as a team encouraging and supporting each other. They also made it a priority to sanitize all surfaces between customers. I highly recommend Kurlykoils. read more
