The Owners and Staff are all amazing, so much so that your appointment goes way to fast. Before you know it your all done and ready to go. The workmanship is on another level as well. Tam does my nails, and her artwork is simply amazing. I cannot recommend this place enough, which is why I have already booked all of my appointments out for a year and schedule everything else out and around my nail appointments lol. So, if you are looking for an enjoyable nail experience, I highly recommend booking your appointment soon.

They keep deleting my google review for whatever reason, so I'm leaving this here and wherever else…read moreI can. Coming from a fellow hairstylist, stay away from this place, and most definitely stay away from Brinley for extensions. I hate to make this review but I'm left with no choice because the owner still has not reached back out to me about a refund. I initially had Brinley install my weft extensions. The experience was nothing great, tbh. But what I'm most concerned about is the redness, irritation and hair loss/breakage I've dealt with since getting them installed. The beads were literally stabbing me, and the install was way too tight. I came in a few days after and had another stylist, Sylvia check my extensions out. You could tell that she knew they were messed up. She had to completely redo them. Although it did feel better the first day after, the same issues occurred, but this time I had small scabs along with all of the other issues I previously had, and I unfortunately the pain was so unbearable that I had to have my husband take them out for me with his pliers. I was so sad because I wanted to have them for Christmas, and had spent a good amount of money on not only the hair but the service. Not only did all of this happen, but my natural hair that I was trying to grow out is now much, much shorter, and chewed up looking. I seriously cannot even wear it down anymore because of what these girls did to me. So I come back in asking for a refund, and Brinley is nothing but attitude and cockiness. Stating she is "7x certified" and that it's not her install, it's my "sensitive scalp" that's the issue. Even though you stated before the install that if it ever hurts, it's because it's installed improperly... Hairstylist to hairstylist -- it's OKAY to admit when you mess up, and it takes a good stylist to know when they made a mistake and own up to it. Also, we aren't talking a misunderstanding with color that's easily fixable here.. you cause me physical pain, wasted my money, and YOU RUINED MY HAIR. I think a refund is more than warranted. Learn to set your pride aside!! Now I might be picky, but I've been providing luxury services in salons, and my salon suite for many years now. So I know a thing or two about customer service and how to deal with situations like I had. The prices do not match the work I will be 100% honest. Also, I still don't know how they came up with the price of $400 for my install and toner. When I spoke with Kelly on the phone about my refund, she said my install was $150. So are they saying that a toner and blowdry was $250? That was never cleared up and honestly rubs me the wrong way, because I told Brinley my max budget was $400 and asked her to work around that, and then shes like, okay it'll be $400!! LOL. Customer service is awful, and I'm honestly disgusted with how this place runs their business. Mind you, I don't mind paying for quality work, I first hand know why hair prices are the way they are. I get it. I know extensions are a luxury and they take a lot of knowledge and skill to install, but I did NOT receive quality work. And for me to be a stylist and leave a review like this, I'm telling you, it was BAD. My scalp is still recovering and still hurts when I pull my hair up. Please, please do not waste your money here. It should have been a red flag from the beginning that there were only two stylists left there during the busy holiday season, and that all the others have left.

If you like your face, stay away. I had my brows professionally done and touched up by a licensed…read moreand certified artist in DC area. They were perfect...you could see each individual stroke and each stroke looked like real hair. I had since moved to the Altoona area and was in need of a *slight* touch up on an area that had faded. 1. They would not discuss any pricing whatsoever. 2. I agreed to a touch up. Here's what happened: Kelly dug so hard into my skin that it is scarred. She went over my entire brow and colored over all of my strokes. They are very harsh as you can see in the photo. She then told me I needed a highlight line that would fade into my skin color. These photos are 2 years later. Nope. The ink she uses is junk. It fades like an old tattoo..very gray. 3. She offered to do lash enhancement. I asked for a warm brown. She said no...black is better. It is now also gray. 4. The salon has since undergone a renovation but when I was there it was filthy, crowded, unorganized and left me wondering what my $1,100...yes, $1,100 was going towards. The room she does this work in is a back room with equipment and supplies. I was very uneasy and should have left. I'm sure a response or comment may be made about doing work over someone else's work...I get it. But this is trash. I see Kelly's brows all over town. They're undeniable. Harsh, filled in and completely unnatural. And GRAY. I will also add that I had my extensions done here for about a year. The hair was trash as well and they would charge $500 for a move up and not even wash or style my hair...just ripped them out and put them back in. Stay away.

The nail tech I got was pretty rough when it came to cutting my cuticles, it actually hurt quite a bit. My friend's nail tech (pictured) spent the beginning of her pedicure on the phone. I attached the final photo of my toes-- I wanted polka dots on every one of my toes and a clear glitter top coat. Even though I showed him a picture, he ended doing rows of dots on each big toe and none on the others. No glitter top coat either after I got sick of trying to communicate. I sat under the dryer for at least 20 minutes and was told I could put my shoes back on. Came home and my toes were smudged and ruined and I repainted them myself. What a waste of $55, which included an extra $5 for the "design." Won't be back.
