Always a great cut and color with Christopher. Family business with many years of experience. read more

Im a transplant to Indy & needed to find a new place. I am THRILLED I found this Salon. Every single time I come, my hair is fantastic. My stylist is a color genius, I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair in my life, even from total strangers. The salon is chic, relaxing, Chris is friendly & professional. The prices are affordable. This place is a great find. read more

It's taken me forever to find a hair place that does a good job, uses great products, and is local. Urban Gypsy is nestled within the narrow streets of Broadripple and offers haircuts, hair treatments, massages, and more. I've gotten my hair cut and colored here now three times and each time I've received many compliments. I love how the color and cut turn out each time and I enjoy the time spent here. It's a relaxed environment that makes me feel comfortable. I found that there is a lot of detail in care put into each session. With that being said it does sometimes take a little bit longer when I compare to other places I've been to get similar services. If you're looking for a new place to treat yourself, stop by here, the Broadripple community staple for the last 20 years, and enjoy a few hours of pampering. read more

I had my first cut and color at Urban Gypsy last night, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. My appointment was with Miriam and I was going to be getting my first balayage. I was kinda of nervous because this was the most drastic thing I had ever attempted to do on my hair. And my hair is super curly and textured, so I had no idea what the outcome was going to be. Miriam was an absolute joy. She explained the whole process to me, asked me how I normally wear my hair, how often I straighten it, she talked to me about coloring choices, showed me pictures, the whole works. The vibe of the salon is super chill too, and I definitely felt like I was in good hands. Another stylist at the salon, Lily, was helping out too and she was just as amazing! They worked as a team and literally gave me princess treatment. I had a truly phenomenal experience hanging out with them. I feel like we are already best friends! Not to mention my hair looks freaking gorgeous. I will definitely be going back to Urban Gypsy to continue my hair journey, and to hang out with Lily and Miriam :) read more

Urban Gypsy - Hair Salons Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Urban Gypsy has now come through for me in a pinch twice! Need I say more? The staff is so friendly and accommodating. They accepted my last minute appointment requests (one made through yelp!) and were patient when I got stuck in traffic and was running late to my latest appointment. After my first visit, I was emailed a coupon which led me to schedule the second visit. On both occasions I had my eyebrows waxed. I was in and out quickly. They take good care of their clients and I always leave in a good mood. Also, they loved Butler students, staff, faculty, and alumni! Parking can be tricky in that part of Broad Ripple, but if you aren't there during lunch or dinner, you should be able to find street parking. read more

My fiancée and I have been to multiple places in Indy and hated the vibe of salons. Additionally, I work an insane schedule during the week and could not find a salon to consistently fit me in on the weekends. Urban Gypsy is a great break from the clinical feel and the staff are personable and fun! Also, making the appointment was hassle free and easy. I went to Chris for a cut and color and received one of the best asymmetrical cuts I've had since living here. He was so awesome to work with and created a color I absolutely love. I cannot recommend this place enough, and the service was outstanding. We definitely will be returning! read more

Service is always quick, warm and affordable! Whenever I'm in town, I ALWAYS hit up this spot. The hard wax doesn't irritate my skin and for the most part, all hair is removed. They sell an exfoliating pad that I thought was just being pushed so I could spend more money, but trust me, it is worth it. It prevents ingrown hairs and makes future better. read more

I own my own company and travel to Indy from the west coast often. Last week I needed to get waxed and was away from my usual waxing spa in LA. After calling over FIVE different locations, I finally found a place that was open and catered to a professional business woman's working hours. Urban Gypsy got me an appointment that very day. The wax was painless and perfect. Because I have incredibly sensitive skin, I normally end up with ingrown hairs for the next couple of weeks, no matter what I do for post-care. But truly, I have had NO ingrown hairs, and my experience at Urban Gypsy was better than my waxing specialist in LA. Now that's hard to find! Will definitely be returning, and directing my friends to go there as well. read more

I went today to get a "new look". I wasn't sure what i wanted, I just knew I needed a change. Chris took great care of me. I've worn my hair in some version of the same way for at least 15 years. I gave Chris full control and he didn't disappoint. I love my new cut and color! My hair feels and looks so much healthier. Thanks Chris for taking such good care of me today...I will see you on 6-8 weeks. read more

Urban Gypsy is hands-down the best hair salon I have ever visited, for the following reasons: 1) The place is super cozy and the atmosphere is friendly. You can tell that the stylists like each other and like their customers. 2) I came in with very long hair (always been long) and wanted a pretty drastic pixie cut. Most stylists I've had in the past have actively tried to deter me from cutting my hair short. Erin at Urban Gypsy was so encouraging and very excited about the cut! 3) I showed my stylist several pictures of the kind of haircut I wanted. She listened to my ideas and then gave me her professional opinion about what style would look best on me! 4) I LOVE my hair!! I don't think I've ever truly loved my hairstyle before. Usually I leave a salon wondering why I paid so much money for a lackluster cut. Not so at Urban Gypsy. These stylists know hair, know what looks good, and have the skills to make it happen! read more

Had my first-ever wax today & can't imagine it going any BETTER! Cindy was kind, respectful, patient, gentle & quite thorough during the entire process! Throughout the process, she consistently reassured me step-by-step & ALWAYS deliberately monitored my comfort level as my initiation to waxing progressed. As I was leaving, she made certain that I understood how to care for myself, especially until tomorrow morning when I will first shower, following the complete removal of ALL MY PUBIC HAIR, including the hair near my anus. Well done! EXCELLENT! read more

I bought my girlfriend a massage here, and she came out saying it was the best massage of her life. The staff is friendly, the spot is hip, and they offer a wide variety of services and products. Best of all, it's a slice of old Broadripple, before the vapid corporate approach took over. read more

I RARELY get my hair done, so I used the handy dandy yelp app to help locate what I thought was going to be an awesome salon. Urban Gypsy popped up as a pretty popular place, so I figured I'd give it a try. I will preface my not-so-great experience with mentioning how the people who work there seem to be very personable people with smiles on their faces, and the shop is a neat little place. Chris was my stylist and was very easy to talk to and made me feel like I was in great hands. Last Monday, I had an appointment to get a balayage. I was SO excited! I showed Chris my picture and he said that he could definitely do the color. I was leaving my roots my natural color and just wanted it to melt into a beautiful blonde. Chris made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process and was telling me about what was going on as he was doing it. I felt very confident that my hair was going to look stellar. I had a 4pm appointment and didn't finish up until 7pm. So, when Chris revealed my hair, I looked it over and was initially disappointed because I thought it would be a lot lighter. But, figured I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. He didn't have me check out the back of my hair, which looking back on it, I see why now. So, I left the shop after spending $135 and 3 hours in the chair a little disappointed. I looked at my hair in the mirror at home and my heart sank. It looked NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like a balayage. It looked like I had some highlights thrown throughout my head. I'm not one to complain, so I got a few opinions from friends who get their hair done regularly on whether or not I should call them back to have them fix it. The consensus was to call and request a fix. I got an appointment for Saturday, and looked forward to getting my hair corrected. I showed up Saturday and Chris knew exactly what we were going to do. I felt safe that he understood what I was asking to be done. There was a disconnect between the blonde and it was definitely NOT a balayage. He talked very nicely with me throughout and was commenting on how well my hair was lifting and that it was turning out great. I was so excited! He offered to curl my hair, which I almost did, but then decided to not waste more time as this appt took 3 hours, too. While my hair was 'lifting', someone called to book a balayage, but the one girl hairdresser said she couldn't do it because she didn't have the right product. Chris was asked if he had some product she could use and he said 'no'. That should have been a clue to me that this 'fix up' appt was going to go sour. After my hair was toned, washed, and blown dry, the big reveal was had. My heart sank when I was handed the mirror and looked at my hair. Nothing looked like it had changed. I showed Chris the picture again and said, I thought it would be lighter...look, my hair looks nothing like this picture. Not even close! He apologized and said there was no excuse for it to not look like the picture and that he didn't have the right product to lift it to where it needed to go. I was so disgusted because I spent another 3 hours for nothing to have changed and WONDERED WHY YOU WOULD TRY TO FIX HAIR YOU MESSED UP ON IN THE FIRST PLACE WITHOUT THE RIGHT TOOLS???? I walked out of there feeling so disappointed and lied to. Why would he say it looks so great and lifted so well, when NOTHING CHANGED?! I called them to request a refund, and they apologized and said they'd refund the color part ($90). While I would have liked the whole $135, especially since I tipped on an awful hair job and spent 6+ hours getting my hair worked on where no one can see a difference, but I'm willing to not throw a stink over 45 bucks. While I'm sure some stylists there might do great work, I will not ever be going to this salon again, nor will I ever refer a person to try them out! I would rate them zero stars if possible, but chose to give 2 because they at least had some interpersonal skills. read more

I have had so many issues in my lifetime with my curly hair. All of those issues melted away when I met Erin Kruse at Urban Gypsy. I think I found Erin by googling "curly hair indianapolis" and several other people had already reviewed her hair expertise. I decided to have her chop a decent amount of hair from my head a couple years ago. At that point in time, I think I had gone more than a year without a hair cut (remember, I have "issues"...which mostly had to do with women pulling out stiff brushes to "deal" with my hair, then not understanding why I would start crying when I looked in the mirror to see an electrocuted Cousin It). That hair cut was the best hair cut I had ever had. A few months later I went back for a trim, then I moved away for a year to a tropical island in the Pacific & I went a little hippy with my hair (let it grow, let it soak up lots of ocean, etc). When I finally made it back to Indy, after a year of Hawaii hair, Erin once again performed her magic. I showed her some pictures of what I wanted & she made my hair better than I ever thought was possible. I still have people from work stopping me to tell me how much they like my hair cut (nearly 6 weeks later). This is the only hair cut I've ever had that still looks good, even after I drive around in my car with my windows down. I don't know how it works, but I love it love it love it! On top of her mad hair skills, Erin is also a sweet person and is down-to-earth. She always makes me feel comfortable and never tries to push product on me, even though I love the Aquage gel she uses. read more

Wow just wow! I've been to plenty of hair salons and I've never been somewhere that treats you SO WELL! I was asked at least every 30 minutes if I need water, coffee, tea or a snack. Miriam and Lily were FABULOUS. They are AMAZING hair stylists and managed to accomplish what I've been wanting for years in one session. I already can't wait to go back. They are "as this generation calls it" my spirit animals! Thank you so much for the best hair I've ever had! read more

Never having been to Urban Gypsy; I booked a last minute appointment for a complete style over-haul and am SO GLAD I did. Chris was my stylist and though we didn't have a ton of time... he seamlessly worked through my hair making sure my layers were smooth, my cut was even, and I was getting what I asked for. He was exceptionally kind and patient, since I felt chatty today, but he knew when to stop and check in to make sure I was comfortable (6+ inches off can make anyone nervous). I am so satisfied and so pleasantly surprised how well it all turned out. Great, professional, and wonderful experience. Took all of 15 minutes to receive multiple compliments - new favorite salon? read more

Miriam is my hair stylist and she is amazing!! She's super creative with cut and color. You can tell that hair styling is her passion. She's also great at taking direction from you about what you want, but making it even better than what you thought it could be. She's really great at her job and my forever stylist! read more

This is a great little place! Tucked in the northern end of Broad Ripple, right across from the vintage store. Urban Gypsy personifies the eclectic charm we've come to know and love from Broad Ripple! I highly recommend you see Miriam or Lily! I've seen them for years and followed them over here from their old salon. I most recently saw Miriam and can not rave about my hair enough! I wanted to brighten up my hair for the upcoming summer season just a bit. Miriam recommended just a few coppery highlights around my face and through the ends. They're very subtle and natural looking but gave me that little bit of "oomph" that I was looking for! I can't recommend enough! read more

My hair stylist Miriam is newer to Urban Gypsy, but she's been working with me to get my hair healthy for over a year. After years of box dying my hair Miriam stripped the black out, & matched my natural hair color perfectly! Now I see her for regular trims & highlights but she's always introducing me to new products & techniques. So, regardless of whether you want a whole new look or just a fresh cut, I definitely recommend Miriam & Urban Gypsy! Everyone I've interacted with that is so friendly, plus there's a cute little clothing/jewelry store you can browse in the back! :) read more

I really want to like this salon. I waited almost a month before writing this review to see if I would change my mind but the truth is I left feeling like I spent over $100 for nothing. Directly after my appointment I went out to grab drinks with friends who said, "I thought you were getting your hair done today." No one, not even my overly observant, metro boss who notices everything, even a change in eyeshadow color, could tell I had my hair done. The only change was in my checking account. read more

I highly recommend Erin. She's super cute -- very sweet and personable -- and makes my hair do fantastic things. I've also had my hair done by Leah, and she's great, too. Urban Gypsy is in a fun part of Broad Ripple in a converted old house. I'm always greeted and offered a drink when I walk in, and the salon is always very clean. Prices are reasonable, and parking is always abundant, which is rare anywhere in BR. read more

Cindy took wonderful care of me today! I had the Urban Facial and my eyebrows waxed. Probably one of the best facials I have had and a very good first experience with waxing. Lovely environment and friendly staff. I will be back again soon! read more

Cindy is incredible! Best wax in town by far. She's so kind and is so good at what she does. Affordable prices and great service! I really appreciate how flexible they are and that you can text to schedule. Definitely recommend for both facial and body waxing! read more

I can see why they keep winning awards in Indy: This is a seriously professional Brazilian. Cindy is thorough and professional and makes it as easy as possible. The whole process took 30 minutes and the flat-screen tv on the wall playing comedies really helped distract me. It's never fun to get it done, but this was the best result so far! I will be back. read more

Maryanne is amazing and very reasonable - she does great color and is great w curly hair.... She will do whatever you ask and provide feedback if she doesn't think it's a good idea :) which we all need!!! Go see her!!!!! read more

I have been struggling to find a hair salon in Indy and am so glad I came across Urban Gypsy! Chris is amazing and is truly knowledgeable about color, products, hair care, etc. He colored and cut my hair and I love how it turned out. He made sure my highlights were not streaky and took the time to add very thin foils for a natural look. He also did a great job with layering my hair. He was patient and took the time to do quality work to ensure I would love the end result. The salon has a bohemian decor with fun colors and art. It is definitely a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere. I will definitely be returning! read more

Need a good hair cut in a relaxed, cheerful, and bohemian environment? Check out Urban Gypsy. They give discounts for Butler students and Broad Ripple natives. I went for that sole purpose and received a hair cut from Lily. She was very friendly and I LOVE my haircut!! She really listened to what I needed. They were also quick to respond back about an appointment because I needed one that week. Urban Gypsy will now be my go-to! read more

Well, for those of you who happened to read my glowing reviews of Jenn @ JATA's Hair Design....nevermind! Sure JATA's is still a fine salon with many talented stylists, but mine - miss Jenn - has recently jumped ship and taken up with Urban Gypsy....and therefore, so have I! I recently visited Jenn in her new digs and I have no complaints. That is, except for the fact that a nice gentleman who is currently studying to be reflexologist was giving either free or ultra-cheap treatments and I couldn't take advantage of the deal :-( because I was on such a tight schedule. I think I'm really going to like Urban Gypsy...after all, it puts me smack-dab in the middle of Broad Ripple. This way, I can build an entire afternoon around my hair appointment....vintage shop across the street, bead shop up the street, Monon Coffee a short walk away..... Need a good stylist? Go see Jenn @ Urban Gypsy - one of the coolest, nicest people you'll ever meet and she knows how to cut and color hair, too! read more

Loved it!! Went in for a retouch up and some highlights and erin did that and more! She retoned my whole haie and deep condition it and all for only 130! Thats it my hair looks great! Thank you erin read more

This place is phenomenal. I have been to both Cindy and Roxy for waxes, and they are awesome. The space is very clean, tidy, and relaxing. Not to mention, their cute boutique has awesome clothing and accessories. I've bought three purses from there that are unique and have lasted years. I always recommend friends here. My only critique would be that competitors offer waxes as low as $35, while theirs is $60. HOWEVER, I pay it because their service and work is impeccable. read more

I moved here from Miami not too long ago and hadn't found a hair stylist in Indy. I happened to come across Urban Gypsy on Yelp and decided to try them. I am so glad I did. Chris gave me an amazing haircut! He was super attentive and very friendly. I definitely plan on going back to him for all my hair styling needs. read more

Go to this beautiful quaint salon with talented wonderful kind people. Miriam just cut my hair and I love it and loved the experience and the good vibes in this place! It was my first time there but it felt like I have been going there all my life. Thank you lovely people at Urban Gypsy read more

Miriam did a great job with my cut and style and was a delight to talk with! The salon is in a historic home and is full of character.

Love this place, love these people! My gal is Lily. She is super talented and really listens. I live in LA and visit Indy several times a year and I always try to get in to see her when I'm in town! read more

Been going to Erin for months now. Always courteous, timely, and a very relaxed, she does a great job. I look forward to catching up with her. Started going to her on a friends recommendation, and I've continued the trend by recommending friends. read more

I started going to Urban Gypsy when I needed a hair intervention FAST and everywhere else was booked up. Also, I knew Cindy, the owner, from a long time ago and the salon from when it was a jewelry/clothing place. Anyway, I got assigned to one of the stylists (don't feel comfortable disclosing the name) and I've been going there for about a year. I was a former customer of Peggy Taylor's but stopped going there, and they have since gone out of business. I love the vibe of Urban Gypsy and they are super-nice there, and the price is right. Not cheap, not unreasonably expensive. I've been going to the same stylist because he always seems to have appointments available and he does a decent job, until this last time. He gave me a rather lopsided cut, and so a week later I went back to have him fix it, which he did, free. I'm still not entirely happy with it but it will grow out. PROs: Nice people, smells good, never have to wait, reasonable cost CONs: Parking is tough, need to find a new stylist there read more

I have been seeing Miriam for a few months now but have only had cuts and subtle color until now. Yesterday I decided to go for my blonde dream color and Miriam (with Lily assisting!) gave me exactly what I asked for. She is kind, professional, knowledgable, and fun! Along with Lily, Miriam gave me an awesome new ash blonde look that I'm obsessed with! I'm getting ready to move to NYC for grad school, but I'll definitely be visiting Miriam on my breaks for fresh cuts and colors! read more

Urban Gypsy - Hair Salons Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This place is my go-to for any hair situation. Everyone in the salon are the sweetest souls you'll ever meet and treat you like you like you just walked in off the red carpet. While all of the hair magicians are wickedly talented Miriam and Lily are definitely my girls. I always walk in never knowing what I want to do and they will bounce ideas off eachother and work as a team to figure out what would work best for me and make sure I look amazing no matter if it's a simple cut or a world rocking color change. Their skills are mind-blowing and they will make the time fly with amazing conversation. You really feel like a part of a family when you're in this cozy salon and everyone there is so passionate about their craft and genuinely wants nothing more than to make you look and feel your best. read more
