I like to talk the time away! Stevie finished me with toner and a cut. She was very friendly and held a conversation. She asked for help along the way from the instructor.

I've always had a great experience at Walk With Scissors in Middletown. If you're looking for an…read moreaffordable haircut without sacrificing quality, this is a fantastic option. What makes this place special: Very affordable pricing thanks to the student stylists. Instructor oversight and check-ins throughout the service, giving you peace of mind while helping students learn and gain experience. A true win-win experience--you get a great haircut at a lower cost while supporting the next generation of hair professionals. Experience with different hair types, which is especially valuable. As someone who is Asian with thick, straight hair, I've been consistently happy with the results and appreciate that students get exposure to a variety of hair textures and styles. Pro tip: Treat yourself to a mini facial or scalp massage. It's incredibly relaxing and turns a simple haircut into a self-care experience. Overall, Walk With Scissors is a hidden gem. The combination of affordability, instructor-guided student stylists, and excellent customer care keeps me coming back. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality haircut while supporting students as they develop their skills.

I wanted to get my hair highlighted without spending a fortune, plus my normal salon was booked…read moremonths out, so I'm very thankful that I stumbled across Walk With Scissors on a google search. I used to get my hair cut at an Aveda campus in Florida and loved seeing students! I didn't select a preferred student ahead of time, which is good because I got switched around last minute. I'm so glad I ended up in Allison M's chair because she worked absolute MAGIC on my hair!!! I went bold and opted for a full highlight, haircut, blowout, and curls. I wasn't sure about what tones I liked or how exactly I wanted my hair cut, but Allison and her teacher were amazing at suggesting what would look good with my hair type and base color. I showed them pictures of highlights I liked and things I didn't like about my previous color/highlights. Full highlights are a long process, so bring snacks and a good attitude. I had a blast talking to Allison all day. The other students were so kind to chip in and help with things when needed and were fun to talk to as well. You cannot beat the price of the services here ($5 haircuts??? $65 full highlights???) but PLEASE remember to tip these students as you would anywhere else.

I was looking to have 2 antique spinning wheels repaired, and found the associated business,…read moreBluster Bay Woodworks online. The husband of this family owned business does amazing work, and me coming up from Virginia, what he does is not found many places on the east coast. Sadly the wheels did not seem to be good candidates for a return to use. What I didn't expect was the converted 1810 home turned into a weaving mecca called Red Stone Glen. Owner Sarah and her dad are nationally known weavers and fiber artists, and they share their home with her woodworker husband and their young daughters as well as weaving classrooms, and a fiber arts store where I dropped a couple hundred dollars. The large property includes the neighboring house just down the road where there is a retreat center, classrooms and a spinning wheel mini warehouse! The retreat house includes a pool and lots of scenic relaxation areas for those who come to spend a few days or weeks learning or producing fiber arts. They hold a fiber festival open house in June each year and other events. Who would think out in the woods of York County, Pennsylvania is two properties and a family dedicated to preserving fiber arts of all kinds, particularly spinning and weaving. I was surprised to learn this business is well known and appreciated by fiber artists the world over. While I could not get my wheels repaired to meet my needs, I feel compelled to support this unique business just 15 minutes from the Harrisburg airport but hidden in creative solitude.

Full disclosure: I am the parent of a newly-admitted DC Freshman. I also was accepted years ago at…read morethe Dickinson School of Law, which is un-related to DC but sits at the edge of its campus. As such, I've been to Carlisle a number of times over the past 30 years, both as a prospective law student and as the parent of a DC student. Here's my "review" of Dickinson College and the surrounding town/area... Beautiful campus, strong alumni network, including extremely successful alums like the CEO/President of LL Bean. Numerous awards for being a top-rated college as to sustainability. Responsive staff. Small student to teacher ratio. Encourages students to find their passion, so interesting combinations of double majors and majors/minor abound, and students don't declare their major until Jr year, I believe. Encourages study abroad and for a somewhat unique statistic I think, Dickinson states that 60% of its student athletes do so, with the coaches' encouragement! Dickinson is what it appears to be, "family" to its alumns and students. Extremely supportive all-around. Location is close to Harrisburg, the Commonwealth's capital, as well as an easy 1.75 hour ride to Phila area (85 miles in my case!) as a straight shot down the PA Turnpike! One comment stated this is a boring school with nothing to do. That's ridiculous. There are attractions within an easy drive, _lots_of activities on campus, and a growing diversity of students. And, to callously call the surrounding area as being full of "red-necks" is nonsense. As a former diversity trainer with a major Fortune50 company and within the USCG Aux, that statement really jolted me. The folks in Carlisle may be more rural in background than say someone from a city or a suburb near a city, but they are welcoming and friendly. Judging an entire community based on some interaction had with one or two (perhaps) is simply unfair to the community as a whole). Go Red Devils! PS To YELP: Why the heck would you NOT recommend the 3 "Not Recommended" 5-star reviews that were well-written, thoughtful and gave details upon which the reviews were based? And, from both students and parents! I don't get it! If they were included, DC would have a near 5-Star rating which is more in-line with what I've experienced via the many alumns I've met, both at DC functions AND by pure chance in the "big outside world" where they had no reason to be biased in their view...i.e. I met them via normal, everyday encounters via my job, etc!
