French Pharmacie | Multiple locations
This boutique salon has an eye-catching Instagram feed thanks to the coolness and uniqueness of both its stylists and its clients — and in this case, Instagram does reflect real life. From vibrant, colorful shags to beautiful classic cuts (not to mention nails + facials), their team can tackle it all.

City Nail Bar | Multiple locations
With incredible pricing and super creative artists, this nail salon is one of Indy's most beloved for long-lasting manis and pedis on natural nails. It's also laser-focused on making sure all products are non-toxic and safe for your health.
