I enjoyed my time here, it was my first haircut in awhile. I went into this establishment with little to no information of the pricing, I wish they would have told me how it was priced because I felt the pricing online was misleading. My stylist was very nice and everyone else was. However, I feel like my hair didn't look like the pictures I showed. My stylist was very nice about trying to fix and give me curtain bangs, but I feel like they were more like normal bangs without face framing. At that point I just left before my hair was cut shorter. I like my hair overall and maybe next time I should be more clear. Pretty good service, a little pricey, but a nice salon. I did have to go home and use my hair scissors to add more framing to my face. But maybe that was just me haha. read more

I got a haircut (layers refreshed, trim, curtain bangs) with Adi and it turned out so much better than I could've hoped! Service was professional, she asked the right questions, and help me pull together the vision for my hair that I wanted. I would absolutely book with her again. read more

Every time I go, my hair comes out lookin amazingly healthy and soft! Quality service and an overall friendly vibe! Love love love!

I had an amazing experience at this salon! I am visiting the area for a couple of months and couldn't wait until I got back home to cut my hair, so I found them! Ashley gave me exactly what I wanted when it came to the style. I will be honest, I was a bit nervous going to this salon as I am African American so I was afraid since my hair is a different type/texture it'd be harder to style. However, if you're in my boat with that being the case, please give them a chance! I will say it was unusual to put in my card information on the site, as I thought I'd be charged prior to the appointment. Other than that you won't be disappointed! My haircut is below! It is absolutely gorgeous! read more

I've never done a yelp review, but I was so impressed with this salon I thought it was the least I could do. I have a 18 month old son (Oliver) who is TERRIFIED of getting his haircut. I recently moved from Indy and used to go to cookie cutters, who specialize in children's haircuts. They unfortunately used clippers on him when he was very young and now whenever someone even touches his head he freaks. Anyway, I went into this salon with Oliver this week, told them that he desperately needed a haircut but that he was going to cry and wiggle so I might have to hold his head while they trim off the bottom. Mind you, my expectations were low but I was okay with that as long as we could trim up the unsightly mullet that was forming. I even offered to pay extra. I knew It was going to be a total mess. That's when Ashley (one of the stylist) told me that she'd be happy to do it. She let Oliver explore the salon, introduced him to everyone there, held him and played with him until he was comfortable enough so sit in the chair. He popped up there with ease! After that she distracted him with movies and songs, and slowly but surely earned his trust enough to get started! At first he squirmed a little but after a little break for a Lolly pop and a quick snug, he got right back up and let her finish up. No. tears. NONE! I was shocked. AND he looks amazing. His hair is adorable. I will definitely be going back and will tell everyone I know to check out this little salon. The prices are great but the staff is what makes this place really shine. Thanks to Ashley and the rest of the staff, you guys where incredible!! read more

Been there before and had a guy named Curtis Anthony do it for me and he was a hair God. However, this time, I had to go through their website online to make an appointment, and i honestly didnt know who to choose to do my hair. So i went with the only guy that worked there and also because his name was also my close friends name, Kyle. He was very pleasant to talk to. Very accommodating and even came up with ideas to make my hair color application turn out well. I was excited about the fact that he was more excited about how my hair would end up looking, which rarely happens because my hair is just so thick, doesnt easily hair dry and frizzy and many stylists are worn out by the end of it. He spent 2.5 hours on it and i would consider him a great God too because he was professional. Loved the experience. 2.5 hours passed by like a breeze. read more

They Canceled my appointment the day of and didn't even work to get me in. Completely ruined my birthday weekend and I'm going to look like an idiot. I will not be giving them another chance. read more

I called in because I wasn't satisfied with my hair they styled, the manager said I could come back in and they would fix it for free. I thought oh that's great, but the stylist was a total bitch to me. She said at the end "We don't ever do this and I hope you go find a new stylist." LIKE WHAT THE HECK? They are so rude there to tell me not to come back. Don't worry I won't come back and I'll be telling all my friends not to go there either. If I could give them a 0/5 I would. I felt totally disrespected. read more

My daughter just got her hair done and asked for the picture i attached, you could imagine i would want her to have something like that when i would be paying 250+ dollars for it. But, she showed up with the exact same hair she went in with (i attached a picture). I had really high hopes, they overpriced this so much and she didn't get what she wanted at all. I won't be returning to this salon. (had an appointment with Shawna read more

Had a pretty mixed experience. They lost my appointment and the stylist seemed reluctant to help me do a trim even though there was only one other person besides me in the salon. Anyway, she finally agreed to give me a trim after 5 minutes of complaining. She did a nice job of styling my hair but it seemed very rushed. Their gowns also do NOT protect you from water so my clothes were soaked after getting my hair shampooed. After all this I thought my bill would be less than a normal woman's haircut since she took of a centimeter of hair off, but I got charged full price. So if I come back I'll definitely do more with my hair if I'm getting charged the full $40. All in all, I would maybe still come back because the choices of hair salons in Lafayette are limited. I feel like most people have a good experience here, so I would give them benefit of the doubt for next time. read more

I go here regularly for a massage from Traci. She does a great job and my back always feels better after. I have a bad hip and she always remembers to ask to see if she needs to be gentle in that area. With the dimmed lights, relaxing music, and great massage, I usually fall asleep. Her studio is in the upstairs of an old building that she's done a great job decorating. She has 2 massage rooms, a bathroom, and a waiting area. While on-street parking can be a problem in this area, you can park in the parking garage next door. Her current price is %60 for 60-minute massage. Go see Traci, you'll be glad you did. read more

I have never been so grateful in my life to get that first visit post Covid lockdown. I trust Nikki explicitly with my hair and her suggestions for color and style. I always leave there feeling like 1 million bucks and knowing I I got the best care. The salon is pristine clean, bright and sunny and gives a very good vibe! I've been to both locations and have no problem writing this as a five-star experience! read more

Eclectic Hair Salon -Campus - So this is me on the road with my job, but I feel like 1 million bucks after my visit this weekend! - Hair Salons Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

I really wish I didn't have to write this review, or be this person, but I think it's warranted at this point even if the only purpose it serves is to warn someone who might end up in my position. I came here ~ 1 year ago for subtle blonde balayage (virgin, dirty blonde hair, hadn't bleached/dyed in 5 years) and it turned out perfect after a couple at home tonings. A few weeks ago, I went back to get it touched up and lightened. My hair was so healthy. I barely do anything to it besides maybe a blow dry once/week. I showed my stylist some pictures of ashy and icy? blonde and asked how light we could go (avoiding damage or ugly result). She pointed out one that I really liked, and said with confidence that we could do it. I even asked "are you sure?" multiple times. She still said yes. For some reason it didn't hardly lift at all. My husband and my friends and family even noticed and said it looked no different than what I already had. It had about as much lift as one quick at home purple shampoo would do. I used to bleach my hair all the time in the past and never had this problem because my hair lightens EXTREMELY easily, and always has. So I very politely asked for a refund, as THIS SERVICE WAS $186 AFTER THE 20% TIP, because I did not want to bleach again and risk damaging my hair more. No refunds. I can understand that. So they offer to do a deep conditioning to prevent damage and try again. I was skeptical but I had hope. I went and did it again and I left with the epitome of brassy hair. It did lift more, but not much, and was completely brassy. Fine, I'll cut my losses and use the Redken purple mask samples they gave me and hope for the best. Waited a week or so to do that/wash my hair, and do a conditioning treatment on myself. The first wash of my hair since the second attempt to balayage, I lost about a quarter of my entire hair in the rinsing process. The purple mask did not work (I followed directions). My hair is botched. It was so healthy and extremely long, and I lost ¼ of it and it is still yellow. I have to live with this hair. I lost all that money. I am utterly humiliated to wear my hair down now, but I have to in order to avoid more breakage. I wouldn't be writing this review if it weren't for the fact that I have never had an experience like this with bleach or salons in my entire life. I have a lot of experience with both and this is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me. It isn't like I came in with dark hair, unrealistic expectations, or went against the stylists' advice. I know doing that can get you into this position. So I have no idea what happened. I don't want to just trash this salon or their staff, because they did care enough to try to fix it. I have no idea why this would happen, and I know this wasn't intentional, but it did, and I feel the need to warn others now and describe my awful experience. I literally lost a quarter of my hair and it is stuck brassy. Yes, it will grow back. All I know is that this should never happen to anyone and I will probably never go to a salon again. UPDATE: I have now lost 50% of my hair read more

My friend and I both got haircuts from Brenna. She does not know how to give men's haircuts. Despite clear instructions, she messed both of our haircuts up. My sides are completely uneven, and my friend asked for 1 inch off the top but about 2 inches were taken off (only in some places) so it looks completely lopsided as well. We are definitely choosing a new place to get haircuts after this. read more

Heard the hair stylists talking about me while I was still in the room. My hair stylist (Mikaela?) was complaining about my instructions to the other people at the salon. Not sure if they said anything else since I got up and left. I've had the same haircut (layered bob, shorter on the back than front) for about six years every three or four months and have given the same instruction every time. Usually I don't even need adjustments since as long as it's the right style I'm fine. Only three times have I not gotten a result I wanted. Twice was at eclectic. The only other time I was vacationing abroad in a non-English-speaking country. I had a great haircut the first time I went so I decided to give them another chance after they messed up once and gave me a haircut that made me look ten years older, but definitely not again after this time. read more

I also got my hair chopped straight-on sideways :( The person cutting my hair was really nice and I could tell she was doing her absolute best to add layers to make my hair look light, but my hair is black, thick and weighty so the "snipping sideways cut" just looks really dull and boring on me. She told me I can come back if I need it fixed so I might. I really do like how the people are friendly, the prices are affordable and we can find out exactly how much a service is. read more

Everything you'd want from a hair salon. The service was friendly, professional, timely and high quality. My stylist was Allbanee Flora who was available within an hour of calling in ( You can make reservations online btw). I didn't just get the usual trimmer experience, it was a real haircut; with scissors (It's a shame I even have to state that). Also, I gave Allbanee free reign on styling my hair anyway that she thought best suited me, and it was great! I loved the end result and I'll be back for more. read more

I've been going to Eclectic for quite a while and haven't had a bad experience yet. The staff are very friendly and more often then not offer those waiting something to drink. They provide a a variety of services and sell numerous products (if you hold a stamp card with them, you can earn discounts on these). The only downside is the rotation of stylists. They come and go pretty quick, so it's hard to get to know just one person, but all the stylists are qualified and do great work. read more

Was referred to this salon by a friend. I has Shawna cut my hair. She did a fantastic job. The price was great for the quality cut I got. The decor was great, the staff was so friendly and Shawna was super nice and listened to what I wanted to have done. read more

I love supporting a business that's run with integrity and truly cares about their customers! The staff at Eclectic are all very knowledgable and skilled. The salon is inviting and has cool vintage decor. Scheduling an appointment is a breeze thanks to their online booking! Thank you Eclectic for helping me "define my style"! Liked: Atmosphere, Value, Quality, Convenience of online booking. read more

Eclectic is a unique environment that lives up their name. The space is energetic, decor is exciting and the vibe is peaceful. The staff don't treat you as a number, as a random person or just another haircut--thry treat like a friend and will listen to every detail that you want in your style. The staff are talented, professional and made my hybrid freak show of hair look amazing when they're finished. They are even willing to help you learn what products and techniques to use to preserve the look after your visit ...and they also won't bust your budget like other boutiques! read more

Meghan was seriously AMAZING. She was SO sweet and super accommodating to my incredibly tight schedule. I apologized over and over again how sorry I was for not having a ton of time but I could tell she was genuinely trying to give me quality, while also getting me out of the salon by the time I needed to be out. I would highly recommend her and I WILL be going back to see her. I'm not one to write reviews but she absolutely deserved it. She was so so sweet and super helpful. read more

Meghan was awesome!! I wanted my hair to be a subtle burgundy color and she executed it and stayed true to the cost that she promised at the beginning. If you have curly/dark hair or need to fix a bad box dye job, Meghan is great! read more

Such a great experience! I scheduled an appointment with Darci and not only do I just love my haircut, the overall experience was great.

Ya'll I just moved to Lafayette and my hair is extremely important to me. Eclectic was the first salon I tried and I won't be going ANYWHERE else. Meghan is a godsend who was honest and caring in regards to my hair. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. read more

While searching west Lafayette for a salon I came across Eclectic Hair Salon. I was hesitant at first (I've had bad experiences with other salons)but after speaking with the well informed and helpful staff members (yes, I said members. I interviewed everyone) I was confident that this was the place for me. I made a walk in appointment with Shawna, who has a wonderful personality and wide skill set as a stylist. She helped me decide what style and length would be best to flatter my face and lifestyle. While in Shawna's chair I trusted her with my hair completely. I ended up getting about 13 inches cut off and I don't regret it at all. She gave me exactly what I wanted and more. I recommend people check this place out. I live an hour and half away and I will be coming back in the future for any hair related needs. read more

Eclectic Hair Salon -Campus - My hair two weeks after I got it cut. I love it. Thanks Shawna. - Hair Salons Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

I had a wedding to attend in Lafayette in July. I called for a last minute Saturday Keratin treatment with relatively no notice. Curtis was able to sneak me in. My Keratin treatment went awesome. My hair looks great, 2 weeks later. The price, plus a bottle of Redkin conditioner and a $20 tip (Curtis was that good), came out to $140 LESS than I had spent for just the treatment alone in Chicago last summer... And that treatment wasn't nearly as good. I will absolutely be making a trip back to Lafayette specifically for another treatment in another month or two. The $40 in gas is totally worth it. read more

Came here once before and results were great, so came back 6-8 months later for a trim and the hair stylist that originally did my hair was no longer there. Nice young girl offered her services ... and regretfully i accepted. I simply asked for a normal u shaped and layered look on the front, this is what I got. Botched! Would not recommend especially since I paid nearly $30+tip! Location is clean and staff is very nice... but very Unsatisfied with my haircut. Why hire employees that can't cut a simple style at your HAIRsalon?? read more

To start with what's great, Meghan my hairdresser. I have been to her twice so far and she was amazing, no words to express my gratitude towards her. But the customer service at the salon was pathetic. the receptionist treated me like I was threat to the salon and would not even give me the basic respect. I was five minutes late and she said she could no more take me in because there was someone else at the same time, but we argued on the same topic for over fifteen minutes after my said time, and I saw no one come across. I decided I would never go there, even if I had missed on a great hairdresser. Better hire people who can be flexible or offer better options, instead of treating your customers like filth. read more

I'm not normally the type of person to slander but I honestly had the worst salon experience ever at this place. My hair was colored absolutely nothing like what I had asked for. I had asked for an ombré originally over the phone, received foils and highlights in actuality, but was told I received the "free-hand" technique of balayage afterward. The color I originally wanted really would have required very little bleaching, which is why I selected it, as my hair is extremely fine and very fragile to begin with. my hair was bleached up about .5" from the root. It was not gradually lightened either. Though I did not want to make a big deal of the matter, I did end up going back to have it corrected. While on the phone with the manager to arrange this, she continuously asked what was wrong with my hair, when I explained she would continue with "what exactly is wrong with it?" and "why do you want it fixed?". After waiting several days to come back in to get it fixed my hair was simply recolored the root color and feathered into the newly bleached hair. The result after one was was orange. Absolute orange. Along with this my hair has since broken so extremely I am almost certain and professional will suggested to cut it all off. Besides the fact that my hair color was never what I actually wanted and that the attempt to fix it literally made no difference: I was treated like I didn't know what I was talking about. I was given the exact same stylist to correct the situation despite the fact that I was clearly very unhappy with her quality of work. I felt as though the manager attempted to void having to have me come back in, let alone offer any kind of refund. My experience there was an absolute joke. My hair is literally damaged beyond repair. Every time I look at my hair I just think of this experience over and over again, because honestly it is that bad. read more

Yesterday I had my first visit here. I love this place! The shop is small and the atmosphere is very friendly. I walked in without an appointment and was sat down for my hair cut immediately. Shawna was my stylist. She's very good. She gave me exactly the cut I asked for with minimal explanation. She was quick, too. My only complaint is that she was a little rough with her hands. It was a bit uncomfortable, but not unbearable. All in all, I had a great experience. I will be returning and I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a good hair cut near campus. read more

my experience at eclectic hair was terrible to say the least. i saw that the reviews were deceivingly high, so i decided to get my hair cut at eclectic. however, the experience was terrible. i literally cannot stand my hair (even enough to post pictures). after my botched haircut, i came to yelp to see what other reviews were saying only to discover that the most recent 3 reviews have all been one star (understandably). read more

The creativity and expertise at Eclectic are exceptional! Shawna in particular is skilled in hair color. I've also loved finding gifts of reworked, updated vintage jewelry. read more

Go to place for eye brow wax and I LOVED the manicure I got there a while ago but I don't know if they still offer it, at least you can't schedule it online which is a real bummer. The technician so WAS nice and asked me where they started chipping the most and made me up especially dry my nail more there so mitigate chipping. Would recommend to everyone! read more

I had Shawna. I wouldn't have paid for the overpriced haircut if I knew she was just going to cut the hair from x length to y. Even though I clearly stated that I wanted hair my layered and lightweight, all they did was basically shorten the length. My hair looks straight and chunky at the end, like a catholic school girl haircut. I guess I will go to another Salon to layer my hair. Would not go back. read more

The hair dressers there are such amateurs! Who cuts hair with scissors perpendicular to the hair?! Even a 10year old can do better than that. They totally ambushed my hair. The place was sort of clean, and they tried to make it hip and all, but the price and quality of work there are totally not worth it! DO NOT GO! I'd rather drive down to Indy to get my hair fixed than visiting this place ever again. read more

I asked for a simple foil and cut, a thing I've had done at many different salons, usually takes 2 hours or less and cost about $100. Here it took over 3 hours and cost almost $140!! Three weeks later and I look like I got nothing done!! I told the girl I wanted it to be bright and to pop, and it was darker than when I walked in! I regret not asking for my money back!!!!! read more

Maybe this is a bad experience because of the hairdresser I had... but everything the girl did to my hair was bad. I showed her a picture of exactly how I wanted my hair cut and it turned out nothing like it. In fact, it was not even close. I also had my hair dyed only to realize after I left the salon that I wasted my money because you could not tell my hair color was any different. The only reason I gave two stars was because the girl was friendly enough to get me a glass of water when I started coughing from something in my throat. The salon is also nice inside. read more

After moving here from California, I had to rely on recommendations solely when selecting a new hair dresser. I am extremely particular, and it's a week before my wedding. I tried a small shop elsewhere yesterday and I was completely butchered. Cheetah print to say the least! I scheduled based on review with Mr. Curtis Anthony of Eclectic. He is a "hair God!!" I love him and he is very knowledgable on color correction. The entire staff were very comforting and gave me my confidence back. Highly recommend this place!!! read more
