What a fantastic place! And what excellent care and cut!! I had Tomoko cut and style my hair and she is a true artist. Years ago she was my hairdresser, then I moved. Whenever I come back to visit I try to get in to have my hair done. She's truly the best. And the shop owner, Lee is also an incredible stylist. My older sister has been going to him for as far back as I can remember. She loves how he can cut her very curly hair so well. Definitely recommend this salon-you can't go wrong here. The atmosphere is lovely as well. read more

A great stylist and well established business owner here in Bloomington! I received highly, this salon!

If you have Asian hair and are looking for amazing coloring/hair services, book an appointment with Tomoko! I always go to her when my hair needs a complete makeover. She always cuts my hair in a way that leaves it voluminous and shiny! She understands coloring really well. My hair appointments are always finished off with a beautiful blowout that lasts for days! My appointments with her tend to be a few hours but that's because black Asian hair is slow to lift. The average price for my bleach, tone, and cut has been about $190-$210. read more

I always enjoy the environment and atmosphere in here. The place is clean, mostly quiet, and well-organized. Tomoko is wonderful. She is the go-to stylist in Bloomington for Asian hair, and she is the only person I will let touch my hair in town. She made me feel really comfortable with her calm but warm way of interacting with me while she worked on my ultra-long hair (my hair was past my waist). I asked to have my hair cut to just past shoulder length, and Tomoko instinctively asked if I usually cut a lot of my hair off and then leave it to grow for a couple years before having it cut again. I said I usually try to trim it every year, but I want it to be low-maintenance (I hate using hairspray or gels or other products in my hair other than shampoo and conditioner). She worked her magic and made sure my haircut was as perfect as possible. At the end of it, she happily said that I should be good for 6 months to a year. I'm very happy and will definitely be back the next time I need a haircut! (Attached photo of me fresh out of the salon the day I got my haircut) read more

"Do" yourself a personal favor and make an appointment with Jackie Simmons at Do Salon. Jackie is talented, knowledgeable (about all things hair and beyond) and you receive an added bonus of being in the presence of a kind, smart woman. She is incredibly skilled with a pair of scissors, which is a must if you have fine, straight hair like mine, and she is also a hair color goddess! Jackie never fails to mix the perfect combo of highlights and lowlights. I can't recommend Jackie enough. She is a master and a breath of fresh air. Give her a try, you'll be so glad you did! read more

I had an incredible experience at Lee Parker Do Salon. I haven't had my hair professionally cut in 5 years due to bad haircuts in the past having super curly hair. I've had my hair styled the same for over 10 years now and desperately needed a change -- I decided to get a longer pixie cut. Jodie is a master when it comes to hair. I showed her some reference pictures for what I wanted and didn't want and she gave me the haircut of my dreams. The staff was wonderful, accommodating, and followed COVID precautions. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

I had an appointment with tomoko. When the receptionist said it'd take an hour she meant it. Tomoko will do a great job! She cut my hair perfectly. Blow drying my hair took the longest time because it's so thick. She is the go-to Asian stylist and it's hard finding someone in Bloomington to cut Asian hair well. It's pricy but it's better than having a bowl cut until it grows out. read more

I see Jackie Simmons at Do, and I can't say enough amazing things about her! She's a hair styling queen. I have long blonde hair, and she knows just how to color it so it looks soft and natural but bright, and she is great adding long layers that are so well-blended. She's a perfectionist and does amazing work! read more

If you're lucky enough to have Jackie Simmons as your hairstylist, then there would be no question why I love this place! She's the best in all the land ... and I trust no one with my hair, but her -- a true artist! read more

I went to Do for a haircut on January 27, 2012 and I saw Heather. I have had short hair for seven or eight years, during which time I've exclusively seen the same stylist. My regular stylist has been traveling a lot and lives/works in Indianapolis so I had to branch out (short hair requires frequent haircuts) and try someone new. Heather was very friendly and quite talented. I think she did a great job given the lack of instruction I provided to her, I told her to make me look good and to do what she wanted. I am very pleased with the job she has done, and I will certainly go back to see her. read more

I have been seeing Heather for over a year. I keep my hair a very natural blonde and it always looks great. She is great at listening to her clients and takes the time to make sure you are happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend making an appointment for great coloring and styling. read more

Lee Parker Do Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Bloomington, Indiana

I wanted to like this place, I really did. They came highly recommended by people I trust. I am going to detail the reason for my negative review so you can decide if it is something that would bother you or not. You might be happy there. I need a pro to color my hair an unusual shade and they promised they had the right people. I've tried two of them and thought I had a good relationship with Heather. I am not at all sure what happened today. All I know is I had a disastrous interaction with the receptionist who was apparently consulting Heather in the background. The receptionist is a bit of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (or perhaps there are two receptionists? That would explain it.) In our first interaction she as amazingly spiteful and mocking about what was, admittedly, not a good parking effort on my part. In our next interaction she was nice, however, so I decided it was my imagination. When I called to say that the first stylist I tried hadn't worked well for me we made a consultation appt. for Nov 10 with Heather who she assured me was expert at nontraditional colors and we reserved a four hour appointment for Dec. 1 so I could be sure to get in to see her as long as I needed. Had a great consultation with Heather. She was sure she'd have no trouble getting my color the desired shade and I liked her very much. We looked at the book where my appointment was scheduled for Dec. 1. I was originally scheduled from 10-2 but after my consultation she said she didn't need that much time and to come at 11 instead. So. On Friday lots of bleach and two attempts at toning my hair left me looking like a yellow chick with blue tips. I clearly needed more work but I had to leave right at 2:00. Heather knew I was leaving the country on Friday so she told me to come in today (Dec 5.) She said she was booked solid in the morning but to come in the afternoon after 1:00 and she would re-tone me and cut my hair in between other color clients. There was no sign of receptionist anywhere and I had to go so I asked Heather if I could pay her when I came back today and she said sure. At this point, despite the fact that my hair was dramatically the wrong color, I still felt confident we would get there. So today rolls around and I have a busy day so I called for guidance about exactly when to come in. Heather had said after 1:00 but I had some commitments so figured it would be best to know when so that I didn't spend my whole afternoon there. Receptionist was snippy with me right out of the box. When I had said I had to leave at the end of my 11-2 appointment with my hair unfinshed, she said I didn't have an 11-2 appointment because "we never tell you how long your appointment is going to last since there is no way of knowing." She says the fact that I had had 10-2 in my book and changed it to 11-2 was an error on my part. The beginning time did change but there was never any ending time so I should have kept the day free. That seems odd to me because people have, you know, lives, and Heather had other appointments booked for the afternoon too, but I had clearly misunderstood. Receptionist consulted with Heather and said she could only see me today at 1:00. I said okay, I had a meeting and could not make that but that I needed to pay for last week. Receptionist seemed upset that I had not paid and said "Where was I?" Good question, and not my problem. But she got madder. I asked her why she was so angry with me when what we were dealing with here was clearly a misunderstanding, not ill will. She got very cold and starting ma'aming me like crazy. She said Heather was only going to charge me $150 instead of the full $180 but I asked her to run the charge for $200, the full amount and a tip. That seemed fair to me. She repeated that she was charging me only $150. I was getting pretty frustrated and confused at this point and said "how can I come back there if you won't let me pay for my service?" Then she told me it would be better if didn't come back but rather that I severed my relationship with all stylists at the salon. And have a happy holiday. (Yes, she said that.) I am so dense. I've never even been fired even from a job so it took me way too long to realize I was being fired from a hair salon. Possibly Heather didn't like me as much as I liked her, possibly she knew she couldn't fix my hair, possibly the receptionist is a nutcase, possibly this is Parker policy. I don't know. I do know I look like a goofball with yellow and blue hair instead of silver and there is no way this gets fixed before I leave on a month long vacation Friday. I invested months in this effort, I was never informed of the policies that resulted in the misunderstanding, and they were nasty as can be about it on top of it. By all means go there but beware. Mine is not the only review like this up here. read more

If you truly want the very best hairstylist-in B-Town or anywhere else, you must start going to JACKIE SIMMONS. Everybody who's anybody goes to Jackie because, who else is there who can cut & style anywhere near as good as Jackie?I am a hair stylist connoisseur, and Jackie is the top of the food chain-for sure. You owe it to yourself to go to Jackie. Needless to say, she's booked up to the ceiling, but she can put you on her cancellation list, so you'll be sailin' soon read more

I LOVE do salon. They worked with my busy schedule to find a time that worked and offered me a fresh cup of coffee as soon as I walked in the door. I had a bad experience at a local salon so I went to Sarah at Do and she fixed my hair and made it absolutely perfect. She took exactly what I was envisioning and brought it to life. Every time I look in the mirror I get so excited and a grin grows. I can't thank her enough and I will definitely be returning to this salon!! read more

I just got my first cut here a week or so ago, and it is the best cut I think I've ever gotten. I didn't catch the hairstylist name, but she was amazing and the owner is an awesome guy. If you need a quality cut in Bloomington - that is the place to go. read more

I have been going to DO salon for the past 3 years to see Heather, and usually I had been happy with my service until today. I have never been more disappointed in a hair salon. I had an appointment with her 3 weeks ago for a color/cut and she called and cancelled 4 days before for a family emergency, which is legit so I said that's fine and rescheduled for today at 11. I was told by the receptionist that I had a 2 hour block for my appt. Today was the only day I could get my hair done because this following week I am leaving for a trip and I really needed to get my hair cut & colored before leaving. I had a flight returning from another trip this morning, which ended up being a little delayed so I called Heather earlier this morning to let her know I may be about 15-20 min late and she said that would be fine. She said if she didn't have time to do a full color and cut she would at least put toner in my hair. I told her I would be coming straight from the airport. I was about 2 min from the salon at 11:15 when her receptionist called me and said that Heather couldn't do my hair anymore because she had to leave. I was shocked and confused because Heather and I had spoke just earlier this morning and made a plan. I explained that I had driven all the way from indianapolis just for the appt and that today was the only day I could come before my trip and the receptionist could've cared less. I was obviously furious so she went to talk to Heather. I could hear her and Heather talking in the background because apparently Heather didn't have the guts to tell me herself she was canceling on my appt last minute. Once the receptionist came back on the phone, she said she was sorry but Heather was not available anymore (even though my appt was supposed to be from 11am-1pm) so I said "you can expect me to never return here again" and instead of the receptionist rectifying the problem, she just said have a good day. After 3 years of loyalty and this is how I get treated?! Don't waste your time at this place. Extremely unprofessional. Clarification: I lived in Bloomington for 3 years but had moved to Indianapolis in July. So when Heather cancelled on me, I had driven all the way from Indy for no reason. It wasted over 2 hours of my time and gas money to drive back and forth, and I never even got my hair done. read more

This place just rocks. I'm pretty picky about who cuts my hair and Bridgett is totally awesome. Prior to being here she was in Chicago at a stellar salon, so she has a strong sense as to what's fashionable and what's 20 years ago (unlike a lot of folks cutting hair in this town). Do is pricier than some in town, but it's so worth it. read more

This was the first time I cut my hair in the US, so I'm not well aware of the prices and everything here. I had been trying to avoid cutting my hair because even $25 is too much for me, but this time I really needed a haircut to get rid of all the split hairs. Sarah was very nice and fun. She did a really good job. I had rather long hair and ended with a cute stylish short hair, which really suited my face. She did exactly what I asked for and I really liked it, although it cost me $50 with tips included. But after coming home and taking a shower, I realized that the left and right side of my head were not even, so I had to cut a bit of the hair myself! In general, an OK experience. read more

I called to ask if they do Japanese Straightening. The person on the phone had no clue what I was asking. She kept saying "we do straightening, I have no clue what kind of straightening it is. I'm not sure if it's from Japan or US." As a receptionist, you should have some idea which services you offer and which you don't. read more

This is the BEST salon in Bloomington. I had my haircut by Sarah and she was able to give me a good looking haircut which is a task. Since I have very thin straight hair every mistake shows and Sarah Reid didn't make a single one! After my haircut I visited Carla for a waxing she was very friendly and easy to talk to. She knows what shes doing and it shows! I will definitely be back again and again! read more

I recently moved back to Bloomington and finding a new hairstylist was top on my to do list. I was referred to Jodie at Do and she gave me the best haircut that I've had in years..maybe ever! I'll be back. read more

Heather is by far the best hair stylist I've ever been to and probably the best hair colorist in Indiana. I love that she seems to know what I want before I do. After seeing Heather for over three years, I know I can completely trust her with my haircut and color. Right now, I'm in the middle of growing out a pixie cut and I would not be able to get through it without her, she clearly knows how to make the process as painless as possible. She also does fun "fantasy" colors on me (right now I'd say it's "steel blue") but I've also seen her do color corrections I'm sure most colorists would think were impossible, taking color-damaged brassy reds to a beautiful and natural light blonde and she even seems to have fun while she's doing it. Heather is the sort of stylist you have to see more than once to get the most out of the experience. The more you see Heather, the better she's able to intuitively give you the best color (and cut) you'll ever get. Even after all this time, somehow every appointment with Heather is better than the last. Thanks Heather!! read more

Since I have not yet been to the DO A Lee Parker Salon this review is not so much about the salon itself but about one of the new stylists, Bridgette who works there. I cannot say enough nice things about Bridgette. I met her when she first moved from Chicago to Bloomington and was working at the Aveda Salon. Bridgette is so incredibly talented and is the only stylist I have been satisfied with here in Bloomington. She is honest about telling you what styles will fit your face shape and personality and just does a teriffic job executing cuts that look good even after a few months have passed. Unaware that Bridgette was no longer at the Aveda Salon, I called there to make an appointment with her and I was absolutely crest-fallen when they told me that she was no longer there. I was quite disappointed with them when they would not tell me the name of the new salon she was working at. Thank goodness for yelp because I was able to locate her through a search of the reviews. What this whole anecdote is meant to illustrate is that she is the one stylist I want to stick with while I am here in Bloomington -- she's THAT good! I would highly recommend Bridgette. She knows what she is doing and she really is an artist. read more

I moved away from Indiana in December, and left w/ a bang by having Bridget cut and color my hair. I had been using her for about a year, and I have never found a better colorist thus far! I have a ton of wavy hair, and she would spend hours on the foils and always made sure I was happy w/ the end product. I could not recommend her enough! My haircuts always looked great too and I loved showing off the final product to all my friends. I only wish I was still in the area so I didn't have to keep jumping around to find another great stylist along the east coast! read more

I visit Bloomington often and when I do I also visit do salon! Heather is an impeccable stylist and a perfectionist when it comes to color. My hair has never been healthier! I love to be platinum blonde and she took her time to get rid of all the previous banding that was created by previous stylists and prescribed for me exactly the products to keep my color perfectly platinum. The blow out lasts days. I'll continue to see heather until she no longer does hair no matter where she works!!! Definitely take a trip to Do it'll be worth it I promise. read more

Carla is the best aesthetician I've ever had! I followed her to Do Salon from another salon in Bloomington that she worked at. She is incredibly friendly and very meticulous. I've been seeing her for about a year (mostly for waxing, occasionally a facial), and never had a bad experience. Plus, she's very reasonable with her prices (and cheaper than at the last salon she worked at). I'd recommend her to anyone! read more

This was my fifth salon in Bloomington in a year, and my first totally perfect experience. Heather completely fixed my hair - took it from faded blonde to a pretty, rich brown that matches my natural hair EXACTLY, which is what I want. For cuts, I just like something traditional and pretty, and she did that. I'm a fan! read more

I salon hopped in Bloomington for over a decade before I landed at Do. Every place I tried, failed. I thought I was doomed to bad cuts and colors for life in Bloomington until one day I called up Do and they made an appointment for me with Jodie. I'll never go anywhere else! I love love love her! read more

I've been getting haircuts from Heather for three years now, and she is definitely the one to go to. She has been incredibly accommodating to my erratic schedule each time I schedule my appointments, and she always delivers what is very likely the best and most consistently high quality haircut I have received at any time in my life. She's also lot's of fun to talk to (with an added benefit of her countless great movie, TV show, and podcast recommendations). I cannot recommend Heather and Do Salon with any less than utter enthusiasm. read more

Five stars, all the way!!! Nicole at DO is the ONLY one who should ever be allowed to style my hair. I always end up in tears at the end of most cuts -- I have very fine, curly hair and most stylist have no idea what to do with it. Not so with Nicole! She is amazing. You won't go wrong with DO and Nicole, I highly recommend her to anyone! read more

I have to hand it to Heather at DO Salon for managing to successfully correct the camouflage of color I had on my hair after a good 2 years of at-home coloring. She did a thorough job explaining my options for professional color and then helped me settle on an affordable plan of action to move forward. She clearly has talent and expertise, not to mention a friendly and positive personality. I walked away a happy customer and will definitely be returning! read more
