- Deluxe Spa Gel Mani Review -…read more The lovely Elena did my nails yesterday, and I LOVE them. Due to my occupation, I cannot have long nails but she did a wonderful job with the small amount of nails I do have. She was very gentle and precise. No cuts, only great looking nails. I usually only get my nails done back when I go home from school, in CA, but she's had me converted. I think I have found my new favorite nail place in town!

I went in about 1 1/2 to 2 months ago and cut off about 3-4 inches! At first I liked it since I saw…read moreit was styled and curled - however after taking several pictures, I've noticed that my hair is EXTREMELY uneven. The right side is significantly longer than the left (at least 1-2 inches). The service felt really rushed by the stylist like she just wanted me out ASAP. She was sweet but now I'm extremely unhappy with my hair and will need to get it recut.

I've been a client at Designer Denn for years and have generally remained loyal despite a few past…read morescheduling issues on their end. However, this recent experience was extremely disappointing. My appointment was changed twice without any prior notification, including a switch in esthetician, which is very inconvenient when you specifically book with someone you trust. On top of that, the receptionist who processed my payment was noticeably rude and unprofessional. After sharing my honest feedback in a review, I later discovered my account had been disabled, preventing me from booking future appointments with my regular esthetician. That response feels unfair and unprofessional, especially for a business that expects strict adherence from clients while not offering the same level of accountability in return. Constructive criticism should be welcomed, not punished. Unfortunately, this experience has changed how I view the business.

Full disclosure, I am a Sephora gal and the last time I shopped at an Ulta was many years ago…read more But that did not temper my excitement when I learned that they were opening in the TraderJoe's Plaza. This Ulta is not too shabby and I plan to be a regular here for sure! Of course the product selection is not the same as Sephora, but there are still quite a bit of great products to explore. Products include BareMinerals, Clinique, Butter London, and more... Could easily spend an hour or more here. Also looking forward to giving their salon services a go.

SO DISAPPOINTED! Mary, my stylist at the State College Salon, has dropped me as her client after a…read moreyear and a half of service. I called the store manager and she related to me Mary's wishes. Mary will see me as a walk-in only. I have regularly tipped her close to 50% each visit. I will send her money for today's cancelled appointment. It's interesting that I've come in for my appointment and she was not there. I had not been told she was off sick. I didn't "fire" HER! Sad! She is very talented and I've been overjoyed with every visit. I will miss her! I suggest when stylist are hired, they should be aware of the downsides of their vocation. I will send her my tip+ I would have given her so she won't have a complete loss on my cancelled appointment. ULTA has lost a good client in me and the people I know. Mary has been a great stylist and I will miss her! Debbie

This is the only place in State College that does threading which sucks. Being the only place that…read moredoes threading puts us faithful lovers of threading in a compromising situation. I feel that every time I come in to get my eye brows threaded the only person that does the threading which is Leila the owner is always to important to high on her high horse to care and listen to what I want and how I want it. I mean I am a paying customer right? Leila is always very quick to attack my eye brows and starts threading them almost immediately as soon as I lay down. She never allowing me( the customer) to express what I came in for and what I want. Its like she is to busy and to important to care. She gives me the vibe that she is doing me a favor by being available which I find it to be very rude and unprofessional. It's obvious that she knows that she is the only person in State College to offer threading which I guess boosts up her ego. She knows that her service is of value to all of us that look and seek for threading service which makes her nasty when it comes to hearing a customer out. So basically, every time I go in because obviously I have to since she is the only one here in State and I refused to get my brows wax and there is so much I can do by my self; i come out looking crazy with super thin eye browns that look just like hers?!? yuk. I hate it. I wish she would just listen and know that I just want to have them cleaned and no I don't want you to cut them. ;/ An annoyed customer.
