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

Ashley is the best hair artist I have gone to in a long time! I came in once just for a hair cut and fell in love, so I trusted her to turn my blue hair back to blonde and she did so, SO wonderfully! And without damaging it a bit, my hair feels so healthy! I don't usually buy the products salons use in my hair, but Oribe is amazing! read more

I had not dyed my hair in a couple of years and was very nervous about dying it again, since I am Latina and have very dark, thick hair. I asked my stylist, Priscilla, to lighten it up but have it look natural and avoid over-bleaching it. She took the time to listen to my concerns and worked with me to set a goal. She far exceeded my expectations! It was a great experience and I get compliments on my hair all the time now. Would definitely recommend this stylist and salon! read more

MDG salons are a very reputable business. Their eclectic design is inviting and comfortable. I see Priscilla at this location. She is absolutely amazing. She puts you at ease with her kind and charming demeanor. I don't trust anyone else with my hair care needs. I have splurged on many services at this salon and have been treated with care and kindness by everyone I've encountered. Priscilla recently did a bleach and tone for me. This is kind of a long process and a big change. Priscilla was very informative on after care and what to expect during the whole process. I loved the final result. Overall this is the best salon in Carmel. I would recommend them to anyone. Their upbeat staff and great customer service will have you feeling refreshed and wanting to come back for more ! read more

Best salon I've been to! I had Chloe and she was so fantastic. I came in with a botched ombre job and she not only fixed it, but made it better than I imagined. The salon was so modern and had a great vibe. The price wasn't bad for all that she did and I would highly recommend this salon to everyone! read more

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

See all

I highly recommend MDG! Cortland is phenomenal! He always provides superior service and conversation.

UPDATE: mdgsalons took the time to reach out to me after a bad experience and completely fixed my hair. Thank you.

MDG salon has a great energetic vibe with talented stylist. My stylist is Katea . She is incredibly talented with color and cuts and only uses the best products to ensure the health of your hair. She listens as well as advises her expert advise during the consultation and is focused on the satisfaction of her clients. read more

Katea is a wonderful stylist! I have been going to her for years, and she is always very patient and skilled. She always takes the time to understand exactly what I want and to make sure we are on the same page. She is terrific with cuts and color! I would recommend her to anyone, she is excellent! read more

I came in for an appointment a few weeks ago and was so taken aback by how unprofessional and rude the staff was. When I walked in, there were two stylists just sitting and texting on their phones, and the tall rounded blonde women at the front looked me up and down like I was trash and hesitantly said with a lousy face, "Can I help you?" I told her I had an appointment with () in ten minutes and she told me, "she's not here, sit down." Okay, fine. Well, I sat down, waited about 15 minutes and was finally seen. As I stood up and smiled at the unhelpful blonde and her lazy friends at the front, none of them smiled back and just kept to themselves, thinking they were too cool be respectful or something. THEN during the hour I was there, stylists kept playing around and literally interrupting my stylist working on my hair with the dumbest things. They'd be talking about food or showing each other their phones or dragging each other off to go look at something. I couldn't believe the service. How rude it was for them to constantly interfere with my service! It ended up taking an extra 30 minutes to get my hair done because my stylist kept talking and chatting to the other girls. As I left, finally, and still gave a generous tip, no one thanked me for coming in. This salon is never getting my business again, it is just a bunch of rude, unprofessional and stuck-up stylists who think they are better than everyone because they know how to do hair. That's really, really sad to me. I can think of three other salons in the area who actually appreciate and respect their customers. So I'll be going to them instead. read more

Love the salon and the people who work there. Everyone is very friendly and courteous. Katea is the best stylist and so talented!! She does fabulous cuts and color. Always very impressed with her work. read more

Absolutely impossible to make an appointment here. The online scheduling does not work and no one answers the phone. We even left a voicemail and have not heard back in days. Not the first time we've had this issue. Have had good hair cuts but always such a hassle trying to get in. read more

I have been coming to this location for a couple of years now. I see Pouri Storms and I love my hair and really enjoy her. The salon itself is very nice. read more

Cortland is the best hair stylist I've found. I fly from CA to have him do my hair. And my hair is tricky: (old bleached blonde from a girl in LA) that's growing out. He's getting it healthy while keeping it fresh. He's fun and uses the best products. My hair has never looked better! Thank you Cortland! read more

I feel terrible even having to write something because this is not who I am, but I went in for a cut and highlight last night and literally almost had a heart attack after being told my services were $290. I couldn't even leave a tip bc I was so distraught by the price! I had foil highlights and a trim. I felt awful not leaving a tip, but if I had left my normal 20% it would have been $360!!!! I spoke with a manager this morning, and she explained their business model is not the same as other salons, which really means nothing to me. I have friends that go to the highest end salons with master stylists with many years of experience that are not even paying this amount. I was offered a free toner as a comp. I declined, because I cannot understand how this pricing is even justified. The sad part is I really like my hair...but will never go back after this experience. Not naming any names because everyone was really nice, but you may want to ask some serious pricing questions before making an appointment!! read more

I am from out of town and needed someone to highlight my hair for an upcoming wedding back home. Didn't have time to go home to get it done and i went to Chelly. She did an AMAZING job!! The color is perfect and it looks so natural. I will definitely be going to her again before i move back home!! read more

Received a call to say I missed my appointment. However never scheduled a appointment. Last last time I was there the gentlemen couldn't figure out how to schedule. I told him I would call back and schedule. When calling back they want my charge card number and will be charged for missed appt if happens again. Shame on you MDG!!! Never will I go here again! read more

I like the Salon itself, but it speaks volumes about a business who chooses to employ stylists who schedule clients, fail to show & refuse to respond to phone calls or texts. Not only has Sara Lamb lost a long-term client, but I will not be returning to this salon ever. read more

Im in love with MDG Hair Studio!! MY girl there is Allison Thatcher. Now let me make this very clear....I am anal about getting my hair done. About 3 times a week. And my specialty is extensions...I have had all kinds...beaded clip ins, fusion, greath lengths, and sew ins. Allison can do anything you want and she is AMAZING. i have had numerous stylists in my day but Allison makes me feel like a brand new woman everytime she touches my hair. And to be honest I wont let anyone else touch it at all!! Call her up. I promise she will work her magic and make you feel like a brand new person. She is my home away from home read more

I go to Ashley at MDG Salon in Carmel and she always does the best job! The first time I came in I had long dark brown, almost black, hair. I wanted to chop it and have a dark brown to blonde balayage and it turned out amazing!!! I've been three times since to get it lighter and cut and it always looks perfect! I've been to a lot of different salons over the years to make drastic changes to my hair. Ashley for sure has been the best I have gone to and she takes such great care of my hair. read more

Katea Adkins is the best hair stylist that I have ever gone too. I have been going to her for over 5 years. She left the studio where she was cutting my hair and I followed her among other people that she cut hair for at that studio she left. Not only does she give the best haircuts that look great on you she makes great decisions on hair color too. She really gets to know the client to see how they feel about what she suggests. It's like she can read your mind. She gives these out of the world head massages while washing your hair. This is a Katea thing and is not a studio requirement. Also, Katea will always be able to squeeze you in for a last minute cut. Who ever does that? Wherever Katea goes I will go and so would you. I highly recommend Katea Adkins. read more

Chelly has been my stylist for a few years now and she's the absolute best!!! I always tease her that she's stuck with me for life, because it's so hard to find a good stylist that just "gets you" and that's definitely her! She is so personal with every single client and really takes her time with cut/color to make sure it's perfect! She's a perfectionist in the best way and I always walk away loving my hair! If you're looking for an amazing balayage, highlights, cut, color, ect., you should definitely check her out! :) read more

Erin Love just did a blow out for me and it looks great!

I followed Charlot from Beauty Brands to MDG. She's the sweetest and is a color genius. My color always turns out perfect. Be sure to make an appointment at least a few weeks out because she books up quickly. The salon is expensive but you get what you pay for! read more

I see Charlot at MDG and have been beyond pleased with everything. The color and cut is the best I have gotten here in Indiana! Charlot is also amazing at taking what I am thinking for my hair and doing it in a way that is best for my thick hair. Definitely very pleased! read more

Today was my first time there! I moved from out of town and needed to find a new salon. Such a great place. Everyone was very friendly. My stylist Lauren was fantastic! She is so nice and listened to exactly what I wanted, and gave great suggestions. She took the time to mix justtt the right custom color and my hair turned out gorgeous! This is definitely my new place! Love my hair!!! read more

This was my first time at the salon and it was amazing! Chris cut my hair and was so sweet to talk to. He sat me down and let me tell him all about my hair and we talked about what I wanted to do. He asked all the right questions and was very professional in his delivery. It came out absolutely beautiful! Definitely recommend going to him! read more

Love this place a lot.. finally found a new place to get my cuts. Never ever going to stupid great clips or sports clips lol.

I have been a customer of MDG Salon for over a year and even recommended my Mother go to my stylist, which she did on several occasions. I like the cut my stylist gives, which is why I continued to go back. Unfortunately, the stylist I used was late more than 50% of the time. On my last visit a month ago, I waited 40 minutes past my appointment time for her. I have waited 15 to 30 minutes on many occasions. I have booked my appointments out through the rest of the year. I showed up today for my 10am appointment this morning, after receiving a reminder for it yesterday, to find out my stylist is on vacation. THIS IS UNACCPTABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND BAD BUSINESS. They and my stylist have lost a customer and I would not recommend them as MDG Salon and the stylist obviously have no respect for a long time customer. read more

The. Absolute. Best in Indy... I just moved back to town from LA and without question this is the only salon I have found that even compares to my salon on the coast with respect to atmosphere and stylist talent. Love this place! read more

MDG...BEST IN INDY! Excellence begins when you walk into an MDG Studio. Both the Carmel and Downtown locations are exceptional in staff, décor, products and most importantly their talent. Master level hair and Make up artist, Allison Thatcher is my girl! Her results are always consistant and beautiful. Her professionalism and confidence are both qualities that have put my mind at ease if we are trying something new. MDG Salon owner Travis Moore is definitely in tune with what Indy and Carmel clients want...QUALITY. Love this place. See you soon MDG! read more

Sarah did an amazing job. She took my over processed blonde and transformed it into an adorable bob with low lights. My hair feels so much better and I don't dread doing it anymore. read more

As another reviewer said, it speaks volumes about a business who chooses to employ stylists who schedule clients, fail to show, and refuse to respond to phone calls or texts...especially on a bride's wedding day. Cortland displayed the worst kind of professionalism throughout the entire process and it unfortunately wasn't surprising when he did not show up. It was surprising that, when the salon was informed of the situation, they did nothing to remedy the problem. read more

Over a year ago, I had to find a new stylist and spent a lot of time reading salon reviews. I decided to call MDG in Carmel and make an appointment with Pouri Storms. She's been awesome and couldn't be happier. Since then, four of my friends and their kids now go to Pouri. I'd highly recommend! read more
