About

Sue Chappell Harmas founded Blades Hair Design in 1995. Jay and Julia Harmas later took over running it day to day. According to the salon, it was among Indiana's earliest studio-concept salons.

Studio space is rented to stylists at $220 per week, with the first month free and no long-term contract. Pricing varies by stylist and is confirmed at consultation. Hours vary by stylist and can include evenings and weekends. Clients book directly with their stylist, and the salon line can help them choose one.

The hair menu covers women's and men's cuts, with complimentary neck trims for men from several stylists. Color options include single process, gray coverage, glazing and natural dimensional color, along with multi-dimensional foiling, lowlights, blonding, express highlighting, hand-painted balayage, ombre and lived-in color. Corrective color starts with a consultation. Extensions come in fusion, tape-in and fill-in styles, and keratin and Brazilian blowout smoothing treatments are available. Formal styling covers bridal, prom and special occasions, with makeup from select stylists.

Waxing and brow services are offered by appointment, including brow shaping, lip and chin waxing and facial hair cleanup. Permanent makeup and microblading include permanent brows. Nail services, including natural manicures, gel and pedicures, are also by appointment. Free parking is available right outside the door.

Each stylist runs an independent business from a private studio, setting their own hours, prices and product lines, with no commission structure applied.
