I saw Mallory today for a Fall refresh and per usual, she delivered. I gave her full creative control, and after a partial lightening service and a quick dusting of my ends, walked out giving showstopper vibes. I also appreciate a salon professional who takes the time to talk to me about which products I'm using and when to change things up. I never feel pressured to make a change... just more educated each time and better positioned to take care of my hair and protect the investment. 12 out of 5 stars recommend! read more

Super cute place - I love how open it is here and all the windows! Brook always does such an amazing job and they are one of the more reasonably priced salons out there! read more

Amelia is amazing!!! She does such a wonderful job and really listens to exactly what you want. She helps you go through everything to get you there too, if you're indecisive like me. She has the biggest heart and will take excellent care of you! My hair has never looked and felt better! read more

MDG salon I studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

I moved to Carmel recently and needed to find a new hair stylist. I drive past MDG everyday on my way to work and I kept thinking how beautiful the inside looked as I drove by. I called and made an appointment. I called a few weeks before I wanted an appointment in case they were booked out far in advance but they said they could get me in later that week. Jessica did my hair and I don't think I've ever had a stylist take the time to fully understand what I wanted and I didn't even show her a photo for inspiration. She was very friendly and easy to talk to. The inside of the salon was very clean, nice, big and open. I was offered a beverage upon my arrival and the parking was very easy on the backside of the building off of the main road. The price was higher than I'm used to paying ($200) for a hair cut and color but I also came from a small college town so I was expecting a higher price tag. I would definitely go back to MDG and recommend it to anyone. read more

My daughter has used this salon for a few years, and I have to say, her results have always been beautiful. She works with Ashley, specifically, and Ashley has done some seriously impressive, drastic color changes on my daughters hair at times. Her prices are very comparable with local "master stylists." Today, my daughter had an appointment to get her hair cut and colored for the first time since becoming a Mom. So I tagged along to occupy my infant granddaughter. The salon is spacious and airy with a farmhouse shabby chic meets industrial type feel. Simple yet pretty and comfortable. They have a large selection of some amazing products, and checking in on Yelp will earn you 10% off! read more

mdg has not disappointed! I have been going there on/off for about 4 years now. I have seen three different stylists, but each one has been excellent. I am currently a client of Kristen and she does such a phenomenal job of listening to my needs, taking into account how much time I want to have in-between visits, and my hair goals. Pre-COVID, the salon experience was great with complimentary beverage service and a style with my cut/color. During COVID, they have finally phased back in the style component, and they are all masked and observing social distancing. I feel very comfortable spending time in the salon. It is well worth the time and money to have such exceptional service. read more

This was my first time at this salon and it has such a cool vibe! The decor is great and so were all the stylists. I have thiccc, curly hair and Amanda did such a great job on my blow-out and it is not easy to straighten my hair!!! I really appreciate her positive attitude when she saw the mop of messy hair on my head! read more

Feel trendy while getting a great cut. The space is beautiful, with a bit stiletto high heel as the front desk, beautiful holiday twinkle lights everywhere, a big open space with tons of hair stylists, and cool wall art. There's lots of magazines to read in a comfy couch while you wait, and rows of cute clothes to browse (the Yelp check in= 10% off a clothing purchase!). My hair stylist was Carrie and she did a great job. It was also one of the quickest hair cuts (while still great quality) that I've had in a while, so that was refreshing. She washed my hair in a good-smelling shampoo and gave me an awesome head massage (I'd pay just for that!). She cut my hair confidently in just a few minutes (my hair is thin and I just wanted a straight across cut). Carrie was friendly and really listened to my ideal hair description (I mentioned that I would like my hair to be fuller and she added a volumizing mousse). She also asked how I'd like my hair styled- straight or curly (I've never been given an option on this before). Nice vibe, easy to set up an appointment and the only downfall is that the price is as high as the quality. read more

I really love being a woman except when it comes time to get a haircut. Then, I generally don't like being a woman, because women pay more for getting their hair cut (this is just a fact, don't even @ me), even when the woman is a woman like me who doesn't color her hair and only wants a simple trim. I literally only wanted the stylist to trim my hair straight across (no layers or anything), and she did that plus shampooed and styled my hair, and it cost me $70+ tip! So I walked out of this place with an almost $100 hair trim. But the reason why I'm leaving a four-star review is because my hair looked faaaabulous after my simple $100 hair trim. Magnificent. Glorious. My hair was the shiniest and softest it had ever been, and I couldn't help but run my hands through my hair all day and all night. I couldn't stop touching my hair. Even my husband, who almost never notices when my hair changes, immediately said, "Wow, your hair is so shiny," when I came home. I'm telling you! Samantha made my hair look amazing, and for that she and this place deserves four stars. I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to afford a $100 hair trim as often as I'd like, but when I can, and when I want my hair to look its best, then I will be coming here to get my hair trimmed. Also: I was able to get an appointment the same day, and on a weekend, no less. That's awesome, and I love how friendly and accommodating they are to their customers. Also also: They are located in the same shopping center as Upland Carmel Tap House, which is ideal. So, if you're like me and the thought of sitting and chatting with with a stranger who is touching you and your hair is unsettling, and you need a beer beforehand to settle your nerves and make you more social, well, guess what? Upland is just steps away, so you can visit it before your appointment (like I did) and you'll be golden! read more

The downside first... EXPENSIVE! When I checked out today, I was shocked that I spent a little over $300 on a balayage and bang trim (plus tip). The experience itself was top notch and the outcome of my hair was great! Mallory was my stylist. I previously went to her for a haircut and had a color consultation at that appointment. She told me it would take about 4 hours for the balayage and it really did take that long! The great thing is that the time passed by so quickly because Mallory is personable and friendly. The space is clean and I had a great experience! I loved the products she used (Kevin Murphy & Oribe). As I said earlier, it's a bit expensive. I asked for a receipt and there was a breakdown of the charges. One being a B3 treatment that I wasn't sure what it was. I asked the front desk person what it was and she said it is something that stylists use that repairs chemically treated hair and something that my stylist typically does for her color clients. I think depending on the stylist, the pricing differs, so that's probably why there isn't a price breakdown online. I really like my stylist and will be back! read more

This is THE salon in Carmel! I moved to Carmel last year looking for a new stylist to do my blonde locks. A friend of mine recommended Emily at MDG salon and I haven't looked back since! Every appointment has been a wonderful experience. From the lovely girl at the front desk to the AMAZING stylist Emily - MDG brings high quality service with creative artistic work to their clients. Emily delivers the best dimensional blonde color and makes my cut look fresh and fun! The prices are fair and completely justified for the quality you are getting in return! They also use/sell high end products which is much appreciated!! HIGHLY recommended Emily at MDG! read more

Came in for a haircut and got right in! My stylist did a wonderful job listening to what I wanted and a style that would fit me. In and out quickly and decently priced. The interior is gorgeous and very neat all around. All the staff was friendly and welcoming. I def will be coming back for more haircuts and coloring ! read more

Would not recommend even applying for a job here. The most toxic work environment I've ever seen. Although if you enjoy being put down and made to feel horrible about yourself inside and out by your bosses with the daily reminder that "everyone is replaceable" then this might be the place for you. read more

I got to Mallory Mosley and she is a hair goddess!! She always knows what's she's doing and I trust her implicitly! I've been going to her for at least two years now and she has always been worth it and more. The grow out always looks amazing and the cut looks cute for a long time. My hair is always healthy leaving and the atmosphere at MDG is great! Amazing equipment and booths, great big windows that let in lots of light. Highly recommend Mallory! read more

I was able to make an appointment immediately when I called. The atmosphere at the Salon is great. Very playful and exiting! My hairstylist was Laura(-ren?) and she was vert pleasant to talk to. She was very sweet and confidently cut my long hair, which I needed. She was very fast-moving forward and persuasive. Her service was great too!! These are the Before and the After. I am very excited to have a short hair to change the style i've been having!!! Price: $55 read more

I enjoy quality hair products and a nice relaxing salon experience. The salon was able to book my 2.5 hour hair service for the next day, which was a plus. The shampoo bowls were adjustable and comfortable. My hair dresser was professional and on time. I was very disappointed that my eyebrows couldn't be dyed to match my hair color. I haven't had that issue with another salon before. I also didn't understand why I couldn't have some copper color added to my blonde highlights and blonde dye job. read more

When your stylist is passionate about what they do; that passion carries over to make sure you are always 100% satisfied. My stylist listened and helped me get my hair back to feeling and looking like healthy hair. With Covid on the frontline, I was worried about venturing out for my much needed hair cut and color. Wow!!! Thank you to the staff for doing a magnificent job of making me feel safe and following sensitive standards! Bravo for temperature checks, 6ft distancing and a sterile environment!!! read more

Stop what you're doing and book a service with Emily. Literally any service. You'll get perfection every single time. She's meticulous, knowledgeable, personable, and she genuinely cares about how your cut/color/whatever will make you feel, not just how it will make you look. She's seen me through The Big Chop and is now guiding me through a pixie grow-out. I'm never going anywhere else. read more

My Mom got her hair cut by Carrie (not sure if that is how you spell her name). She took her time during the consultation to understand my Mom's likes, dislikes, preferences, styling habits, etc. That alone was a relief to her. She gave my Mom a great haircut and my Mom rebooked with her and also booked an appt for highlights. Cool space for a salon. read more

Janice is the best! She knows how to color hair and is always keeping up with all the new cutting edge trends in hair styles.

I love this place. Just received a color from Chloe and am so pleased! I had a photo to share with her, but other than that let her have her way with my hair. It looks amazing and the entire experience was so enjoyable and relaxing. Highly recommend. read more

MDG salon I studio - Perfect color by Chloe! - Hair Salons Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

After having more than a few bad experiences with my previous hair stylist I finally opted to find someone new to do my hair. I called MDG and was immediately greeted warmly and they were so helpful in getting me in quickly during a time that fit my schedule. I went to Lauren and got partial balayage and a cut. My hair is long and strawberry blonde and I am very protective of putting too much color into it or changing it up too much. Lauren was very helpful and made suggestions to help get it exactly right. She was warm and friendly and I will for sure be going back to her for all of my hair care needs! If you are looking for a new hair stylist I would highly recommend. Ps the ambiance of this place is to die for! read more

MDG salon is clean, cute and everyone is super friendly. I've gotten my highlights done here and always ask for Kristen. She always kills it with the color and styles my hair perfectly. They have protocols with temperature scanning and everyone is always wearing masks. Their pricing is reasonable and well worth it! read more

I saw Brooke when i went. She was AMAZING! She was so helpful and answered all my questions. This was also my first time going to this salon and i felt very welcomed. 10/10 experience. If i was told to pick something negative about this experience, the shampoo and conditioner and products they used were very strong and game me a headache, but I'm also on the sensitive side of smells. read more

Absolutely love this place. I totally feel at home since it reminds me of the salons that I go to in LA. It has this industrial and modern feel to it. Puri is my stylist and she's my most awesome discovery since she's from Southern California as well. We totally get along and she's such a fab stylist and I'm glad that I have someone I can go to who understands Cali color and style. She was also trained in Europe so it's such a plus. She's very in demand specially on weekends so I tend to book my appointments ahead of time. read more

Kyle was my stylist today and he was awesome. He knew exactly what I wanted and when he was finished my hair has never looked better. He gave me great tips to help me style my hair every day and also gave me tips to think about next time when I want my hair highlighted. They were really busy but it didn't feel like they were rushing to get me out the door. I booked my next appointment and I'm not going anywhere else. read more

Love MDG salon! Started coming here last year & haven't looked back! The salon is cute, clean & well decorated. I see Jamie & absolutely love her work. I went in, showed her what I wanted & she did exactly that. The price is reasonable & worth every penny. During re-opening after covid, they were efficient, clean & made me feel safe- which I value! Can't wait for a blow out next time. read more

loved my experience! i got my haircut by brooke and it was excellent service and very affordable. i had pretty long hair when i went in, thick too, but she was able to give me exactly the cut i wanted. totally recommend!! read more

Katea is my stylist at MDG Salon; I couldn't be happier with the results every time I leave. I have always had very fine and thin hair and I am a natural brunette. I've always been very skeptical about going lighter/adding blonde because my hair is "sensitive" anyways. Katea is always conscious of this and always considers the wellbeing and longevity of my hair (as silly as that may sound lol). Not to mention she is an AMAZING stylist. I highly recommend this salon and services! read more

I've been coming to MDG for a couple of years now, and I'm always so impressed. Everyone is so professional and the space itself is clean and cool. Which, since we're now in the middle of a pandemic, is greatly appreciated. I was lucky enough to score an appointment with Katie on re-opening day, and they have a great system in place. They have strict protocols regarding distancing and masks, and have made the experience as touchless as possible, but also very easy. Thanks, MDG! Was excited to see your faces again. Hopefully next time, I can see your smiles too! :) read more

Katea Adkins at MDG is the best! I have had her do my hair for years and every single time I love it! She pays attention to details and gets to know you so she can see what type of cut you can handle on your own and actually tells me if she thinks what I want is a bad idea! I have recommended her to several of my friends and co-workers. MDG is in a great location and everyone who works there seems very upbeat and the location is very convenient. read more

I have loved coming to MDG in Carmel to get my haircut for the last year. My stylist is Katie and I initially booked an appointment with her because so many of my sorority sisters get their hair done by her and look sexy AF. Every moment of my experience is always positive from check-in, to wash, cut and color. Katie does an amazing job with the head massage while washing my hair. My color always looks great and I love her cuts. There have been a few times where Katie has been extremely flexible with my schedule trying to get me in. She also offers a "midway" root cover-up which is especially helpful if you have a lot of grays like me! I highly recommend Katie and this salon! read more

Never a bad experience, highly recommend, Theresa does a great job every time. Never go anywhere else

I am very happy with my hairstylist and the highlights I had done. One thing that I am shocked about is the cost, as an expat from California I didn't think it would be just as expensive as it is in California but that's probably because it's Carmel I don't know. If you are happy basically paying over $300 for hair cut and highlights then you should definitely go. I would highly recommend Kristen. She is great. read more

I went here today to get a cut, color and my eyebrows done. I had Chelly and she was AMAZING. I didn't really know what I wanted and I told her to just do what she thought would be good. She absolutely nailed it. I showed her a few pictures of things that I liked and she went to town. She cut off some inches, gave me a bunch of layers and did a bayalge(sp) treatment to give me some beautiful honey colors in my hair. Staff is friendly, Chelly is meticulous and makes sure you love what you leave with. I will absolutely be back soon. read more

I switched to this salon a few months ago when I felt like my previous salon wasn't accomplishing what I was asking for in terms of my hair color. The other stylist was nice but she was missing the mark on achieving red. After just one appointment with Kyle, I was hooked on MGD. Not only is he super sweet and fun to talk to, he really listens and does a great job with my color. I also love his finishing skills in that he achieves a great level of volume with my hair when he does the blow-dry, even though my hair is kind of thin. The salon itself is spacious, clean, and bright with lots of activity at all times of the day. The front desk staff is friendly and prompt and they do a great job with scheduling. Parking can be a little on the tricky side if your appointment coincides with happy hour on a nice day because they share a lot with Upland Brewing and some other stores, but I've always found a space. Overall, a great salon experience again and again! read more

Ashley did amazing on my hair! I was very nervous to go to anyone with lightening my hair up again. However, She did it & it looks amazing! I have gotten so many compliments! She also showed that she cared about my hair health and I bought products that have truly helped the health of my hair. Beautiful studio and worth every penny!! read more

Had my first hair cut here today with Kendra. She was awesome. Took the time to listen to my concerns and come up with a plan to fit my needs. Very happy with the results. Pricing is on the high side but you get what you pay for. The place has a nice casual urban vibe and the service was great. Plan to be a customer for years to come! read more

MDG is hands down one of the best salons around. There isn't a bad stylist in the place and the environment is fantastic. I had an amazing experience with Kelly Norman, she rescued my hair-mergency last minute as if it was no trouble at all, dedicated herself to creating a result that met both of our expectations no matter what it took and I enjoyed every second of the time spent with her. Highly recommend! read more

Still smiling about my new hair! Samantha truly listened to what I wanted and offered her expertise to make my hair look healthy, natural, and exactly how I wanted. She was super sweet and talked me through everything that she was doing. Will definitely be going back! read more
