Angie DeLaGrange is doing what she loves.

“I love cutting and coloring,” she says. “I love talking to people.”

And now, she’s practicing her craft in her newly-opened hair salon in Huntington.

UltraMod - The Hair Parlor opened in February at 1424 W. Park Drive, sharing a building with the State Farm Insurance office.

DeLaGrange has been doing hair locally for 34 years, working mostly in established salons with a brief stint in her own salon — a stint that ended when the building she was in was demolished to make way for the Huntington City-Township Public Library’s parking lot.

When she found her current West Park Drive building, offering good parking and a good location, it seemed like time to go out on her own again.

“I’m super excited about it,” she says. “This has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

DeLaGrange says she’s all about good hair design that keeps up with the times.

“This is a modern, contemporary, trendy salon with great hairstyles,” she says. “I don’t do ugly hair. If I don’t think it looks good, I don’t let you walk out of here.”

She says she plans to add several more stylists to the salon, offering booth rental to full-time or part-time “trendy, motivated stylists” willing to work as a team.

DeLaGrange says her background in the arts is put to work in her profession as a stylist.

After graduating from Huntington North High School, she spent a year as an art major at Ball State University before enrolling at Huntington Beauty College.
“Hair is artsy,” she says. “I have the artsy background and that really does help with hair.”

UltraMod offers cuts, colors and perms for men, women and children, as well as facial waxing.

UltraMod - The Hair Parlor is open Tuesdays through Saturdays. To make an appointment, call 388-9553. Walk-ins are welcome.
