Our Story

More Than a Salon —
Your Third Place

Hair of the Dog opened its doors on West Chestnut Street with a simple belief: everyone deserves a salon experience that feels human. Not corporate. Not rushed. Just good people doing good work.

We've been part of the Bloomington community for over a decade — cheering at tailgate parties, sponsoring the little league team, and remembering your name when you walk through the door. That's the difference.

What Our Guests Say

The best compliment we get is when someone says, "I found my people."

"I drove 40 minutes to find this place after my last salon ruined my hair. Best decision I've ever made. They actually listened to what I wanted instead of pushing whatever trend is happening."

Megan T. Bloomington, IN

"Finally, a salon that doesn't make you feel like you're wasting their time asking questions. My balayage looks like it was done by a magazine editor. I get compliments every single time I leave."

Rachel S. Normal, IN

"Brought my daughter in for her prom hair and I was blown away. The whole vibe is warm and welcoming — not stuffy at all. We're both customers for life now."

Linda K. Bloomington, IN
