there service was amazing i loved there shop they had, I recommend! hair came out perfect

This place was tragic. This is the last place you should go if in need of a barber. The barber there rushed to finish the haircut so he could just hit his vape outside and go on his phone. The vibes were unfriendly. Using fake name. read more

Black Orchid is still one of my favorite places in the city. They were careful and courteous throughout COVID and I'm appreciative of the work they put in to keep clients safe and looking sharp during the pandemic. They relocated their downtown location to Mass Ave and if you haven't been to the new space yet you've got to swing by. It's open and airy, full of life and plants, and really focused on being a barbershop instead of a barbershop that happens to be tucked into the back of the salon. There's no more slinking through the spa seats and spray tanners. Schedule ahead or call about walk-ins but definitely give Black Orchid a try! read more

I came in for a cut with clay and asked for half an inch off the top at most. Asked for a mid taper/two-block, with some texture on top. He ended up taking off around 2.5-3 inches off the top and didn't even let me see the progress of the cut until it was too late. He also gave me a completely different cut than the pictures I showed him. Not coming back again. read more

I usually don't schedule haircuts, which means my hair gets long to the point where I snap into a "hairmergency" and decide I need a haircut, like, stat! Enter Black Orchid Barbers - they are open late and I've always been able to find an open slot to get my haircut within 24hrs. My lack of planning means I've taken whichever barber is available, and all 4 that have cut my hair have been great. I guess I would describe the atmosphere as hipster-metal. The place looks great, music is good, the conversations are sometimes a bit over the top, but that's all free entertainment. A couple times I've been in there were Playboy magazines on the coffee table... minus one star. I'm not sure what the intent was there. read more

My guy Clay at Black Orchid gave me my all time favorite haircut. Great vibes at this place and a great fade

Alright guys listen up, If you need a fire haircut, then look no further! The Black Orchid crew is here to hook you up! I've been there three times, and I leave looking fly every time! I've been going to Cody at the Mass Ave. location and he is phenomenal. This location seats 3 people at a time, and all the barbers are very precise and efficient. Although they do take walk-ins, I highly recommend you schedule ahead online in advance. I can't say enough good things about this place! read more

Was able to make a same week appointment which was great for me because I forgot to schedule one before the holidays! Arrived and love the space, good vibes. Tanya greeted me about ten minutes after arrival and told me she'd be with me soon. Once in the chair I told her I needed as short of a fade as possible and that I trusted her. She spun me around and didn't ask any additional questions. I always get a little nervous when you can't see until the end, but I trust the process. She spun me around and just showed me how to style it. Never asked what I thought or anything. The sides were far bushier then I like, It looked like I was still due for a haircut. So I asked how I styled it to fix this and she said we would have to go shorter. I told her, let's do it! We only went shorter on one side and how she styled my hair my entire head looks lopsided. With taking it shorter there's a portion that's shorter than the rest (can be seen in the photos) and the other side still has a hard line. It's not really a "fade" if you can see the line still. For being one of the more experienced (meaning cost more) stylist I'm shocked with how I left and the lack to check if I liked it. I spent some time trying to restyle it in another mirror and was able to fix the unevenness with styling, but can't fix the cut. Guess I'll be wearing a hat for holiday photos read more

Do not get a straight shave from them. She left me bleeding with terrible razor burn. I don't think she knew what she was doing and that's not comforting when someone has a sharp blade near your neck. They need to train their employees better and teach them how to keep blades sharp and prep skin prior to a straight shave. Cool place with bad cuts and trims. Don't let the alternative vibe and tattooed staff fool you into thinking they're "artistic". read more

Hands down the best barbershop in Indianapolis. This is the definition of a premium barbershop. I scheduled an appointment with Jason K and was pretty nervous since I was trying out a new barber. Needless to say he listened and had great advice and experience as to make my hair exactly how I wanted. He gave me a V taper that looks amazing! Super glad I found this shop and will continue to go back! Well worth the money! read more

I've called twice, once a month ago and once yesterday, about speaking with someone to make an appointment for an entire grooms party -hair and beard. Both times they took my number and name and told me the person I needed to speak with wasn't there. Last time he was going to call me back the next day - this time he was going to call me in 30 mins. Haven't heard from anyone...I guess they don't want hundreds of dollars in business in one morning... read more

Definitely book online! These guys are always busy helping out customers, so it'll save you both some time. I'm here every few weeks - I always leave with a great cut and a new trick to make the most of my hair. Go in, grab a beer, have good conversation, learn about the stuff on your head, and you'll come out with a fresh cut and the confidence to match read more

Just left our first trip to Black Orchid (downtown) and was very satisfied. Jason did great work with my beard and Tanya did great with my picky son's hair. Cool space, easy to get in and out. read more

Great spot , great vibe . Would recommend for sure . Great location and easy to book Barbers cut clean , no complaints read more

My old barber moved so I was in the market for someone new. Black Orchid (Carmel) is closer to my house so I made the jump. Appointments for one of their "senior" barbers were out almost 3 weeks so I scheduled with Niko later the same week. The vibe is good and it was obvious they had a stream of regular customers. Niko did a good job meeting my needs and I'll be back! read more

I'm a frequent traveler who is always on the lookout for a solid barber shop. Booking can be done online and Ive never had a problem with the shop keeping them. Everybody Ive met or talked to has been really friendly. Conversations are usually a blast, and they'll probably offer you a beer or something while they're at it. I've had my hair cut a few times by Tanner and would definitely recommend him. Fades have always been great, and no problem making sure you walk out with the cut you want. read more

Jake and I needed a cut same day and Sarah did an amazing job for both of us - love the interior and the music/movie/decorations are the reel deal! read more

First and last visit today. Neat place. Offered coffee while waiting. But..... the final result for my beard was terrible. It was so uneven and botched. I had to go to another barber to get it fixed. Won't be going back. read more

I've been going to Black Orchard twice a month for over a year now and have never had anything but a fantastic experience. I look forward to the conversation and atmosphere every time I'm there. I constantly get complements on my cuts and it's very easy to explain what I'm looking for. read more

Cody at Black Orchid Barbers is the absolute best when it comes to haircuts. I had my first cut with him today and he did a phenomenal job. He's very detail oriented and puts a lot of care and effort into making sure your hair looks great. I highly recommend him for anyone who goes to Black Orchid Barbers on Mass Ave. read more

Was in town for work and they fit me in quickly as a walk in. Jason cut my hair. Really personable guy and an excellent barber. The shop was cool. Hipster ish decor. They even offered me a beer. What's not to like? Satisfied all around. Thanks! read more

My son and I get our hair cut here and absolutely love it. On top of highly skilles barbers, the staff here are delightful and patient. The environment is relaxing and very hip with records playing and a complimentary local beer for adult customers. Not knowing much about hair styles or what wxactly you want isn't a problem either. The barbers and stylists here have great taste and will find you a cut that's perfect everytime and they're great with kids! read more

A group of talented barbers paired with a fantastic atmosphere. I have never left unsatisfied with my hair or beard cuts/trims. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone who is looking for a consistent and excellent barber shop. read more

I have never gotten a better haircut. They take appointments, they're open late, and the staff is extremely friendly. The price of a beard trim and haircut is 45 bucks, which is kinda steep for me, but after I got done I understood why. The quality is absolutely incredible. My hair was cut by a lady named Tanya (I believe) who really knew her stuff. I'll be back and I'll be getting my hair cut by her. Do yourself a favor and patronize these barbers. read more

Best barbers downtown Indy. Great cuts, chill shop environment. Couldn't be happier I've gone here for over a year!!

Just stopped by on Monday, December 10th to get a cut from Jason. He really did a great job with little direction from me. He helped me get my beard in order, too. Very nice shop, very nice people and very nice products. I've visited Tanner and Tanya at the downtown Indianapolis location in the past and they did a great job too. read more

So, I was looking for a barber about a year ago, went to a few places and it was just okay, not fantastic. Then last year at the Yelp event Drew approached me and told me a bit about Black Orchid and I was like "well why not". Went in for a haircut and never looked back. Black Orchid has been amazing, Drew is awesome and ALWAYS gives a great cut. I've also been to Tanner and he was fantastic as well! I would 10000% recommend anyone go here. SUPER accepting place and wonderful people. I'm so glad I gave them a shot and you should too. You won't walk away disappointed. read more

I moved to Indy two years ago and wanted to find a barber who could style thinning hair and do modern haircuts. I found Jason on Yelp at a different shop and followed him here. I was concerned about a new barber, but I made the right choice. I always get compliments on my hair cuts and I have sent several of my friends to him. If you are looking for a barber who can keep you in style, this is the place to go! Relaxed atmosphere, great conversation and top notch results! 5 stars!! read more

Jason and his team at Black Orchid serve up the best cuts in Indianapolis. Excellent staff with a great atmosphere.

Made an appointment with a barber did a great job cutting my hair previously but got pawned off to another barber. I specifically made a appointment to avoid this and should have left. But I needed a cut so I stayed. Jason cut my hair and I was not happy at all. Sadly I will not return due to this. Cool place with some talented barbers. read more

Great ambiance, music choices were on point. Dani did a great job, was friendly, and outgoing. 10/10 would recommend!
