I walked in at this sweet salon to get the new hair I'm growing after cancer treatments cleaned up…read more Tracy informed me they were booked for several weeks, but squeezed me in for a 10 minute trim. She didn't realize how comforting for me that was as I was already unsure where to go to get this done on short notice. The vibe of the salon is calming and welcoming, yet Tracy has a vibrant energy which feeds the soul! I truly had an amazing experience which gave me the confidence and energy to keep moving forward! Thank you, Tracy, for taking the time to get rid of my fuzzy neck and making me feel great! I can't wait to get on their regular schedule.

Response to the 6/11 review of Elan:…read more Elan enjoys a large clientele of regulars from all over the country, and indeed, the world, in this university town. The 6/11 review of Elan indicates only that Elan is generous, and perhaps too generous. In the writer's haste to berate Elan, she reviews her friend unfavorably instead; a review sent on her wedding day nonetheless: the bride and her parents are portrayed as people whose word not only means nothing, unless they are legally bound by a signature on the dotted line, but who are willing to pull the rug from under a business that has an excellent reputation and whose kindness is highly appreciated. I visited yelp to write a favorable review of Elan, and found this one. In an unusual way, I was part of this situation, and instead of providing a straightforward review, I would like to correct the facts in this earlier review which I hope will speak for themselves and are only one indication of how highly Elan's clients think of the service Elan provides. I was actually a mother of a bride as well that day, June 11. I had set up an 11AM appointment with Elan about one month earlier to have my hair styled for my daughter's wedding that took place late afternoon in Indianapolis. At the request of Elan, I agreed to change that appointment a couple of weeks later to 8AM in order to accommodate this reviewer's large wedding party. The bride and her parents who were from out of town had just called Elan to set up an appointment, without informing Elan they were making two bookings for the same time in two local salons. Because Elan has helped me out so many times, I was happy to return the favor at this occasion. When the bridal party cancelled Elan at the 11th hour the day before, I was in the midst of rehearsal dinners and other wedding events, and Elan's manager was not able to contact me in a timely fashion and invite me to come in at 11 AM instead, and when I arrived at 8AM on June 11 the business was open punctually at the unusually early time, just for me. Needless to say, they did a fabulous job. Perhaps the world would be a better place if we pause before we judge when in an vindictive mood, check our facts for contradictions and follow the advice of our beloved folksinger Carrie Newcomer who has a song on the subject, the performance of which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukVV7ZGGfD4

I like how she organically did the color- one thing, then another area- wash back, wait to process on top- toner on existing unfoiled hair, then rinse and tone it all. I really like it- just looks more put together.

Even when living abroad, I would try to book an appointment with her any time I was back in Bloomington, and there has never been a cut or color that I've been unhappy with. She pays a lot of attention to what you request and her attention to detail is unmatched by any other hairstylist I've had. She is great to talk with, kind, and empathetic and every visit is like catching up with an old friend. The salon is also super cute, cozy, and had a fun atmosphere. I cannot recommend The Beehive enough!

First, she gave me an incredible cut, color, and toning--exactly what I envisioned. A couple of days later, at Richardson's studio, she styled my hair and did my makeup for the shoot.

I'll absolutely be using Jamie for all my big events moving forward. She's also amazing at wedding hair and makeup--I highly recommend her!"

I showed up at 12:30 and the lady that was going to take over seemed annoyed that I showed up early and said I told you I would text you 30 min before I was done. I told her I understood but did not want to drive back home to Spencer a 40 min drive then back to salon as I was already headed to Bloomington when they texted me originally. After waiting there from 12:30-1:45 I asked the owner if she knew about how much longer the girl was going to be and she said yeah I'll check she came back and said it was going to be atleast another hour she still had to tone, trim, and style. I asked so there isn't any other stylist that could help she then replied no sorry and turned around and walked away!!!

So I decided to give Becky a chance. when I first entered the salon it was packed and Becky told me to take a seat and she'd be right with me. she finished the lady's hair she was working in and started working with me. She was very kind and she filled the room with positive energy. She washed my hair and massaged my head. It felt amazing and the shampoo smelled great. She dried my hair with a towel and she asked me how i wanted my hair cut. I said i wanted it cut short with bangs. A pretty simple request that has been denied from me by other stylists in the past. I have wanted bangs my entire life, but my family and stylists have always said they wouldn't look good with my face shape. I didn't care i wanted them and Becky accepted and cut side swept bangs that worked well with my face shape. This is the best experience i have ever had at a salon and the only one i will go to from now on.
