Salon 01 History

In 1996, after ten years working as a stylist for others, Micki Stirsman, together with husband David, founded Salon 01 in a northern suburb location along Meridian Street in Carmel, Indiana.  Compelled by a desire to create a salon environment where staff would enjoy coming to work, be exposed to the best available education, product selection, and innovative technology, Micki began assembling what has now become one of the finest professional teams of hairdressers in the Midwest.  Along the way, the original salon space was doubled and additional services were added to facilitate a full service offering.

Since opening, Salon 01 has continuously grown and is today recognized as one of the top salons in America (see Salon Today Magazine Top200 articles for details). 

Salon 01 remains client-focused and attentive to the growing needs of guests by cultivating its staff to offer consistent quality services, continually adopting new technologies, hiring the country’s best educators for staff training, and regularly seeking to better develop our retail area product selections.

We believe that stylists and technicians achieve at highest levels when education is a main focus of their career.  We require a commitment to continual improvement.  Salon 01 has always striven to hire the best talent available, thereafter enrolling each into our unique and demanding apprenticeship program designed to refine the technical and social skills of these blossoming young people.  Only upon successful completion of this additional training may stylists begin to accept guests by appointment.  We believe in our staff and work hard to prepare them to do their best work on behalf of our valued guests.  We appreciate the opportunity to serve as your image-makers, and hope that you will give us a try.

Our mission statement perhaps best speaks to our role in the business of beauty :

“We believe in a commitment to education.    Through knowledge and experience, we offer consistent quality services to our guests.  We stock only the best inventory in our salon, and sell it because we believe in it.  We are here to help make people feel good about themselves and to help them create the image they desire to achieve.”
