Booking process for a bride was terrible... took multiple unreturned emails, phone calls and four…read moretotal people working with me in less than a year. I had to make corrections to the schedule, and the pricing that was shared with me. Attempting to pay my deposit and full balance in advance was also not understood by any of the ladies working the desk - they had to call the person I was working with who never actually gave me her name. The make up wasn't like the photos I showed, and even after asking for some edits, it still wasn't done as requested. My hair was very nice when I walked out but the curls immediately fell. All my wedding photos have the half a part still curled and down part straight. Overall, I was very disappointed and would not recommend to others. Photo is 2 hours after leaving.

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.

I have been going to this salon since they opened - not sure, 4 years? One time my manicurist cut one of my cuticles and it bled. I have very bad ingrown toenails on my big toes, and Tina is expert at removing them. I've never had an infection or bleeding after a pedicure. I get both plain and gel nails, and they have a nice large selection of colors. The price is great, and they're always busy - I think unhappy customers must leave reviews more often than happy customers do.

I had a terrible experience here and will not be coming back…read more I booked a gel manicure because the price listed was $35, but when it came time to pay I was charged $53 for the exact same service. What made it even more frustrating was that I heard other customers being charged $35 while I was there. There was no explanation for the price difference, and it felt very misleading. I also asked multiple times for my nails to be cut shorter, but my requests were completely ignored. I left with nails much longer than I wanted. The most concerning part of my visit was the cleanliness. While doing my nails, the technician had what looked like a bite or sore on her arm that she kept scratching and squeezing. I saw what appeared to be pus come out, and she continued touching my hands afterward without washing or sanitizing hers. It was incredibly unsanitary and made me very uncomfortable. Overall, the misleading pricing, lack of attention to what I asked for, and poor hygiene made this one of the worst nail salon experiences I've had.
