Hair Mafia - Hair Salons Near Me - Altoona, Pennsylvania

I've been going here since they opened. I've always had excellent service and a fun experience. I wouldn't go elsewhere for my hair care needs. read more

Hair Mafia has exclusively done my hair blonde for the past 2 years. I saw reviews saying they don't know how to do blonde hair, I have never had this issue, no extensive breakage that you wouldn't expect anyway going blonde. I have brown hair and normally they are very careful checking regularly for when to pull the bleach, they are so attentive and friendly and always offer you a drink. I love this place and if you follow directions and take care of your blonde the right way, it won't break. read more

See all

I've been to Hair Mafia about four to five times. The pricing was very reasonable and they usually did a good job on my hair color. I've had two bad experiences here now that changed my mind about the business, and I've decided to find another salon. The bad first experience occurred when I went to get a solid platinum blonde hair color last summer. I had Tawny as my stylist. She bleached my hair and everything, and I did leave the salon with what I asked for. Then, about 24 hours after my my color i saw strands of yellow in my hair. I hadn't washed my hair yet. I contacted the salon and Tawny offered to fix it for free. What made me upset was she suggested it was my fault it turned a different tone. She said she told me not to wash it without even asking if I had. My second bad experience occurred less than 3 months ago. I had Lexie, a new stylist color my hair. I showed her images of what color I'd like for her to go from. In the images I showed her a platinum blonde with a shadow root. I left the salon with gray hair. The color process itself was horrible! My hair was pulled during the washing process, I had to clench my teeth. She wasn't doing the toner right and had to re-do it about four times. After my hair was finally finished, five hours later, the total came out to $250.00. I was baffled because one, this was a new stylist, two, I've had the same thing done with longer hair earlier that year for $60.00 less at the same salon by a more experienced stylist. In my honest opinion, I'd take you money and go to a better salon. Looks Hair Design in State College is amazing, and so is Kelly Kreation. Both offer similar pricing and is much much much more worth it! read more

I have hated my hair my entire life. Hate it. I had decided for once to do something about it, and through recommendations from a couple of friends, I booked at Hair Mafia. The experience from start to finish has been nothing short of wonderful and has exceeded my expectations. I got the exact color and cut I wanted, my hairstylist has been so great at working with me to get the desired outcome, and everyone is so kind and fun there. I've gone to two appointments and have my next follow up booked. My hair has never been healthier, and I'm now a lifer for this place. I don't want anyone else to work on my hair. read more

Hair Mafia - Hair Salons Near Me - Altoona, Pennsylvania

I was a client with Hair Mafia for years. You know you have a good salon when people in public ask you where you got your hair done. Tawny was SO professional. She always asked to see pictures of what I wanted so there was never any confusion. She made great recommendations. She had a great memory and would always gently remind me when I would suggest trying to go blonde again why I was never happy with it :) Not only was I happy with the service, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere as well. The only reason I left was because I moved away. I highly recommend Hair Mafia to anyone in the Altoona area. read more

I had my hair cut, colored, and highlighted. I brought a picture I had found on google or somewhere. She actually took the time to look at the picture not just yeah ok and did whatever she thought she saw. I had close to one year of regrowth from an at home coloring and it all Blended perfectly. I was actually really surprised. I have heard great things about this salon before but that takes skill to blend like that. The salon is clean and quiet and I was offered a drink during my visit. On a separate note-I have brought my son (4 y/o) here to have his hair fixed after another place butchered it. They did a great job repairing what another had destroyed and he still looked amazing!! I recommend Hair Mafia ever chance I get. read more

The owner damaged my blonde hair even more than needed it did not need touched up all over it just needed touched up by the roots and down some instead she almost did my whole head. it was not needed and she literally made my hair so much more damaged. Also, the shade/tone I asked for was for a darker to medium shade of a beige blonde and instead she forgot I even said that and went with what she thought I asked for instead of just checking with me again to make sure she remembered what shade I asked for. So it instead of the medium beige blonde I asked for she did a light beige blonde shade/toner. Then she was to also do my roots a little darker and make it blend out the rest of the way to the blonde medium beige color so just my roots she did a little darker. Yet the funny thing is my roots also looked like they weren't touched and still looked like my natural hair color. Literally everything she did also washed out instantly. Which I know you can't expect to have a toner last that long in your hair but I mean I only washed my hair once after I got my hair done and it washed out that fast? I mean I waited 3 to 4 days later also to give my hair a break from just getting it done and I don't try to wash my hair everyday I give it a break some and try to always wash it every 2 to 3 days and not everyday. I'm sorry I paid a lot of money to expect my hair to be done right. They also make you sign a waiver there stating that they aren't responsible if you aren't happy with your hair there is nothing you can do about it. I'm sorry that shouldn't be allowed especially if you are that unhappy with the outcome and your just screwed. Im making this review because I don't wanna see this happen to another person. Don't waste your time or money going there. read more

I trust very few people with my hair. I've only been to two stylists in my entire life because I am always worried it'll get messed up. I went to see Tawny because I saw her work on Instagram and I'm SO glad I did. She did exactly what I asked for and listened to what I wanted to have done. Could not be happier with how my cut/balyage turned out. Thank you! read more

How has no one reviewed Hair Mafia? Such an amazing salon!!!! The owner, Tawny, is fantastic. So is Liz, who takes her time to LISTEN to what you want and offer her professional opinion about a style, cut or color!!!!! read more

This is my favorite place to go ever! Tawny is so professional and talented. Kylie is amazing at makeup, Amanda is wonderful at doing hair color, and Liz is so patient with my child. We all love it here and recommend it to everyone! I would not go any other place after being here!! read more

My mom got her hair done there recently. She loved how it turned out, and the service was amazing.

I had a bad experience here. My hair color turned out several shades darker than what I repeatedly asked for. I was assured it would turn out the color I wanted. The cut looked like a mullet. I requested a refund of my nearly $100.00 but was told I signed a CONSENT and my refund was refused. If I did sign anything I was told it was an estimate of the cost only. Not everyone is asked to sign a consent. So IF you are asked to sign anything here, READ it first. Consent is an out for them to cover up their mistakes. read more
