What People Are Saying...

"Last year, when I was in middle school, my salon threw a hair makeover party for the girls in Younglife, a bible study group. It was a really fun time learning about different looks and how to care for our hair. We got to know each other better and met some fantastic stylists! I hope we can do it again." --Avery N., Client, As The Crowe Flies Hair Salon & Boutique, Indianapolis
