WiP Downtown

If you’re looking for a salon where you feel instantly comfortable and leave looking incredible, WIP is it. WIP isn’t just a place to get your hair done — it’s a place where you’re actually seen. From the moment you walk in, the space feels welcoming, inclusive, and calm in a way that immediately puts you at ease. It’s clear this salon was built with intention. The stylists are absolute pros: knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in what you want — not just what’s trendy. They listen, ask smart questions, and explain things without talking down to you. Whether you’re making a big change or just maintaining your look, you leave feeling confident and taken care of. What really sets WIP apart is the culture. It’s a safe, affirming space where everyone belongs. The vibe is creative but grounded, professional without being stuffy, and cool without trying too hard. You can tell they care deeply about their clients and their community. If you’re nervous about trying a new salon, WIP is the kind of place that makes that fear disappear. I wouldn’t trust my hair to anyone else.

WIP is the rare salon that nails both vibe and skill. Inclusive, welcoming, and filled with stylists who truly listen. You leave looking great and feeling even better. If you’re searching for a new salon, stop here — this is the one.

Riley is truly one of the most talented hair stylists I know, from doing my hair in my little bathroom at 12 years old to being a fully licensed hairstylist doing her thing in a professional setting as an adult, she’s always out done herself. The attention to detail and commitment she has to making your vision a reality, you can really feel her love of the craft and passion towards what she does. One of the best and most promising alternative/emo/punk hair stylists in Indianapolis hands down!!!!
