    This is the color I asked for.

    I was asked to come early because the client before me canceled. I showed up early and then sat in the waiting area for at least 15 minutes for the guy to do whatever he was doing in the back room. I told him what I wanted to do and showed him the picture of the color I was looking for. He asked if I wanted a haircut as well and I explicitly told him no. I was there for at least 5 hours and walked out with nothing even close to what I discussed with him. When I was checking out he ruminated in his head how much I owed him, I was charged $65 for a haircut, I told him explicitly I wasn't looking to get a haircut and he didn't do a haircut, he fumbled around in the back of my hair doing some "technique" he created, I had only asked for him to thin my hair out and if I knew I was going to get charged for a haircut I would have gone home and done it myself. His technique basically wound up creating a shelf on the back of my head. I had to go someplace else to get it fixed... I was warned about this place but didn't heed those warnings. Please, for the sake of God, steer clear of this train wreck. You can read many of my reviews and I am, unfortunately, extremely honest. Most of them are positive but every once in awhile I end up in a shithole but this time the hole was huge . For the record I'm not a disgruntled customer, I am extremely disheartened by their gas lighting, think charging me $65 for a few Snips of the back of my hair, and there overall attitude when I questioned the fee.

    Disappointed with the color of the balayage, came out kind of bright yellow when I wanted an ashy blonde color.

    Located it he downtown district of Brownsburg i the historic building on Main st is a new beauty…read moreshop. They do color, cuts, treatments, waxing, lashes (highly recommend) injectable's and facials. The place is beautiful, clean and fresh. I know there are many salons in Brownsburg but this is the place to be.

    Came here about 2 weeks ago for a consult. When I first walked in I was greeted by a lovely woman…read more She offered to give me a tour of their facility, which is beautiful by the way. Extremely accommodating with coffee, water, mints, comfy seating. They have so many different options to choose from other than just getting your hair done. They offer lash extensions and brow lamination, massages, and lots more. They even have a boutique you can browse while waiting. It's kept clean and professional. I was very excited to meet the stylist and get my dream hair. But sadly, that wasn't what happened. I have dark hair and wanted it calico style, orange with blonde highlights. By the end of the consult we decided on dark hair with blonde highlights. Throughout the whole conversation the stylist kept talking me out of what I wanted. She said the color would bleed, it would be a long process, I could only shower in cold water, it's high maintenance etc etc. which sure could be true but there was absolutely no compromising and she completely changed what I wanted and made it sound like those were things I couldn't handle. I showed her a reference video of the hair I wanted and told her it did not have to be exact because I know my hair would process differently and her style may be different. She pointed at the orange part of the girls hair and said that was her natural color, which wasn't true. The girls roots were black. Once she started talking me out of the calico style I moved to maybe just doing it reddish orange. I showed her a few references of a character from a show, who obviously wears wigs but there was a different variety of red/orange, all of which I was fine with. I wanted to try to lift my hair to a red without bleach, which I know is possible because I've had my hair lifted before. But we talked about bleaching it and I told her I was fine with that but no matter what I tried to change she kept furthering from my original idea. So far in fact I started to get uncomfortable and almost just agreed to something I didn't even want. I also talked about cutting my hair because my ends are kind of thin and I know they will thin out over time, I asked what she thought and her response was whatever I would want done. And then went on to say "do I think anyone can cut their hair? Yes." It was just kind of irritating because I was asking her opinion as a professional and if I was a stylist that's not how I would have answered. I know she doesn't want responsibility if I end up not liking it but she could have answered it a bit better. "You know, ultimately we should do what you want. We can trim a bit off and see how you feel." Or something of the sort. I also have anxiety so when I go into places looking for your opinion it's also a comfort for me. Because I'm trusting you with something important and it made me not trust her when she couldn't offer her thoughts. There was also another girl with her, shadowing who made things kind of awkward as well. They would converse with one another while I was looking for references because I had to scramble for new ideas since she kept discouraging what I wanted. It just kind of made me feel like a third wheel. Her energy felt mean girl-ish to me. For example, there was another girl working and literally cutting someone's hair in the chair next to us. She wasn't there when we first started, but I guess her talking to her client was distracting to the stylist helping me and she made that known by loudly saying she couldn't focus because she has ADHD. There were other chairs we could have went to, even the lounge ones but she chose to sit there and seem irritated by someone else simply doing their job. We finished and went to the front to book and the same girl that was working next to us was there too. They have two computers and the one the girl I was talking to was on wasn't working. So she switched to the other one, but not before asking if the other girl was done using it. She just sat down and the other girl looked kind of uncomfortable. Just feeds into that mean girl energy that I sensed already. If she can't be considerate to her coworkers I would never think she'd be considerate of me. She tried to schedule me out all the way in mid June. She didn't mention any other stylist in case I wanted it sooner. I didn't end up scheduling and I'm glad I didn't because I would have hated my hair. I ended up going to another salon, asking her to lighten it and for blonde money pieces and she said "alright!" And explained my hair might not lift to a super orange or red color. She still agreed to my original idea but reminded me it might not turn out exactly like the reference, which I was perfectly fine with. I got the hair I wanted and left happy. Sadly I had to pay 25 for that consult and I'm not sure I'll ever return. If you have anxiety or are shy, be sure to stick to what you want. And don't feel pressured to do something you don't want. I hope you leave here happy!

Let me start off by saying Stacy and Kaylee are amazing!! I came in for a simple trim and was given what felt like a full spa treatment. Their shampoo space is so relaxing. It's a dim room with spa music playing and it was such a relaxing experience! You even get a head/neck massage with your shampoo/conditioner. I didn't want to cut my hair too short (even though it probably needed it haha), but Stacy was so respectful of that and she kept the length of my hair, all while making it healthy & giving it some texture! Make sure you run (don't walk!) to Em Studio Salon because I promise you won't regret it!!

    Love this salon and definitely recommend EM for your hair needs. I go to Kayla and Ariel for my…read morehair and am always super satisfied! Highly recommend these two ladies- you can tell they love their job and what they do. They always listen to me and what I want. One downfall to EM is how expensive the Davines shampoo and conditioner is. I will say the Davines brand is expensive but totally worth it; it smells amazing! I think the pumps should be included when you purchase something so expensive. Also, I cannot recommend getting makeup done for special events here as I got my makeup done for my sister's wedding and was not satisfied. I feel like the makeup artist went too light and made me look more pale than I really am. I was super frustrated because I mentioned to her a few times how I wanted it to be a little darker and I'm not sure she caught on. I also did not have enough time to go home and take it off and redo my makeup so I had to wear that makeup for my sister's wedding and wedding photos. Overall, I'd recommend EM for haircut needs, hair coloring, and certain hair styles but not for your makeup needs.

After the cut she also offered product and again, no pressure. I like that. The price was super reasonable, so tip big people. The online scheduling was super easy and you get a lot of reminders, so you can't possibly forget your appointment. This salon is located in a building with a collection of tiny beauty shops and such, which confused me a bit at my first visit. Once you enter though, just find her suite, which is to in the hallway going left. The suite numbers are listed atop the doors. I am glad to have found her and will certainly be back.

I will also note: wanted me to make appoint "online" (I called) it was like I was "bothering" her to make the appointment over the phone.. Im older and dont do much "online" or "emails".. was not happy! even though I tipped well (over 4O%) and never recieved a thank you.. I do try to be generous so they will remember me for next time, you know, how I like it, the kind of cut, etc.. but the thing about haircuts is you (well me) never really know until you (me) style it yourself.. my 2 stars is being highly gracious for what I paid (over $8O) for a trim. UPDATE: SLANDEROUS, MALICIOUS and DEFAMATORY response below is baseless in their claim(s).. seems all negative reviews are attacked until they are removed but I am choosing not to be bullied into doing so.. hence, they will hav to be made to correct their LEGALLY DAMAGING AND PERSECUTORY REMARKS.. I will say the $4O should hav been 4O%? (but hey Im a blonde and cant add right..) all I know is I charged money and gav cash money totalling over $8O.. like $85 and still the haircut (a Trim!) was awful when I got home and tried to style it the next day.. Truth is that "tasha D" wasnt even there, and has now produced, (in writing) what I was told is a retalitory response about "derogatory remarks".. I was advised she does this as a woke ruse to any negative comments about them, because they dont want you to know about their haphazard schedule or terrible service.. my two stars is now one.. BEWARE of this location. AVOID.

    BRIDES/MAKEUP BEWARE…read more I hate to write a negative review, but I had a horrible experience at this salon. The salon is gorgeous, clean, and very modern. However, I had booked a bridal hair and makeup trial for my upcoming wedding with Jennifer, who is the owner of the salon. I am so grateful I did a trial before the day of my wedding. This definitely would have ruined the day. I had a consultation a couple of weeks ago, and showed my photos, made a plan, and everything went very well. Jennifer was very friendly and assured me that she would be able to do the looks I asked for without a problem. When it comes to my hair, I have very naturally curly hair, and brought in clip-ins that she had approved during the consultation. Not everyone is able to work with my hair type, and that's understandable, but I had a consultation for this reason and she assured me it was not an issue. We tried many different styles that just weren't great, but that's okay. My main concern was the makeup. I asked for full coverage, airbrush, and gave her a reference photo. I am aware that nothing will be exactly like the inspiration photo, but what I received with was absolutely terrible. When I tried to ask for something a little closer the photo or fuller coverage, I was told that it's just because I have bad skin and acne....I left in tears. No coverage, no airbrush, extremely splotchy application, no color match, unfortunately nothing about it was right at all. It looked like dollar store makeup done by a child. I hate to be so harsh, but when you see the photos, you'll understand. After this experience, I will not be returning or recommending this salon to anyone. I also decided to go home and try out the look myself with absolutely no experience and I think the difference in quality speaks for itself...
