I moved from Jersey to E. Stroudsburg 7 years ago…read more I have been trying to find a Salon I felt comfortable with because I am very particular with my hair. So for 7 years I drove to my stylist that I first met at DePasquale Salon, which is rated 20 round trip to continue to go to my stylist that I have using for over 30 years. I have called different salons in this area and wouldn't get a good vibe. Well, I was desperate to get my hair done for New Year's Eve, and Hot Heads had "GREAT" reviews!!! When I called Larry answered and was so nice and it felt like this was finally be my Salon here in East Stroudsburg! He was able to book an appointment right away! Ashley was my stylist! From the minute I walked in she was so kind and caring. She really listened to what I wanted and she did an outstanding job! It was a true pleasure to get to know her. I knew she was finally "the one" that I found in this area!!! In addition, the salon's interior is very welcoming and extremely clean! Ashley is not only extremely talented, but she has the warmest personality ever!!!! I have already gotten so many compliments, and I refer them to Ashley and your wonderful Salon!!!

I made a last minute appointment for a trim and a blowout before a wedding at Shawnee Inn. I was…read moreable to set an appointment for the next day (which was the day of the wedding) with Larry. When I arrived he was ready to go and first asked me what I was looking to have done and what style I wanted. I'll be honest that I have not had a haircut in pretty close to a year so I knew I'd need a big trim but I was a bit anxious as stylists seem to cut off more than I anticipate. Larry was AMAZING and showed me exactly how much I'd need off and he blew out my hair beautifully!

I asked for a refund and they offered to have me come in and get it fixed. That seems like a really uncomfortable experience so I preferred a refund and would go elsewhere to get my hair fixed. I had 3 different email chains with various salon workers until Jean Tretheway got a hold of me. She proceeded to scream at me over the phone about how it was rude to get a refund because someone spent time on my hair already. (um...WHAT?!?) she also told me that my hair would grow back and then she screamed that I was not a good fit for the salon when I had frequented for years to have Hannah color my hair (Hannah was the best and did not do this haircut). Avoid Shear Design at all costs. A word of advise to the owner, Jean - the managing director of the salon - should probably be put through SEVERAL customer service trainings. Will be sure to spread the word.

From all of my experiences here over the years I know the stylists care about every one of their clients. Ale'sandra has been my stylist for over 5 years and always manages to excede my expectations.

I can always count on a relaxing experience at Indulgence Hair Studio. I seriously can't it recommend enough!!!

First I would like to say, I'm loving there new spot, Phylicia and Amber the owners have brought…read morethere love, dreams and imagination to there forever Salon. They have so much more room, and the layout is just beautiful and I love there color scheme, especially the gold everywhere. The vibe when you walk in is so welcoming, from Krystal at the front desk, who always starts a conversation with you, remembers everything about your past conversations, she is a doll, and before you sit down, she offers you a complimentary water, coffee, tea, or wine , even though out your appointment. She is the first person you see when you arrive and the last person you see when you leave. She is the perfect person for her position. Amber is my stylist from day one, and she is spectacular, very knowledgeable regarding color, highlights, haircuts and hairstyles. She has never done me wrong. Amber listens to what you like to have done, gives her opinion as well, and never fails you. I always come out of this salon, looking like a million dollars and 10 years younger. Thank you all for your hard work that you put in, day and out to provide such perfection.

I made an appointment for a simple trim and was booked with Chris. No one told me he was new or…read moreasked if I was okay with that. During the cut, I had to ask if my hair was even, and he never showed me the sides or the back. He clearly didn't know what he was doing -- he couldn't even style it before I left. When I got home and saw it in the light, I was horrified. My hair was uneven, chopped up, and I even had bald spots. I went back hoping they'd fix it, and another stylist did what they could, but I walked out with basically a G.I. Jane haircut. Here's the worst part -- Chris never apologized. He was "too embarrassed" to say sorry, but apparently not embarrassed enough to give me the finger. The salon didn't offer a refund or any kind of compensation, just said they wouldn't charge me for fixing the damage their stylist caused in the first place. Hair grows back, sure -- but respect and trust don't. This whole experience was completely unacceptable and unprofessional.

Quality and speed? Sign me up. She's also done amazing color jobs for me and I'm never disappointed. I travel an hour on the highway just to get my hair done here. 5 stars across the board.

December 23rd 2023 was my last and final appointment at this place. I started coming here after…read moremoving from NJ. The owner Sam is very chill and she did a good job doing my relaxer. After a couple of visits I noticed I would always have to wait. Anywhere from 10-30 min before she worked on my hair. A little annoying given that I made an appointment for a specific time but I shrugged it off because she's a one woman show. Over time I saw she got additional girls working in the shop but the wait still remained...... weird but whatever. The last straw was my final appointment. I don't know if it's the holiday rush getting the best of her or what but I had an appointment for a relaxer touch up at 1:30pm. I parked my car in front of the salon at 1:30pm on the dot and by the time I came inside it was a minute later. The place was packed so I sat in the only chair available and waited...... and waited...... and waited..... and waited....... It was past 2pm at this point when I asked Sam when am I gonna get worked on and she said she has one more lady and then she'll do me. Y'all...... I was in that shop from 1:31pm and my hair wasn't worked on till 3:08pm. I was waiting over an hour and a half. Mind you I was sick. I had a mask on and was hardly talking to minimize potential spreading but my body ached, I was running a fever, and I felt like I was about to pass out being all lightheaded. The girl who rinsed out my hair was hardly getting to the very bottom portion of the back of my head. Even when I told her to please get the lower area she hardly moved the hose to get the spot she needed to hit. And she stayed rinsing only the back of my head for a good five minutes like, boo do you not realize I also have a front of the head too?? There's chemicals sitting in my hair that need rinsing. Why are you taking your sweet time?? Sam eventually jumped in and rinsed it good. After that, I'm in Sam's chair and she starts blow drying and straightening my hair. As she's trimming my ends, she was saying how busy she's been and mentioned the other day she had 20 clients all by herself. I was surprised hearing that and asked if none of the other girls were in that day. Sam said "No they were here but they had clients of their own." So I said "Oh then why 20 clients for you to handle alone?" She said "I got bills to pay this is how I eat. I don't work 9 to 5s like you." So I said back "If you spaced out appointments though what happened today wouldn't happen. I waited over an hour and a half before you finally got to me." And she said "When you're good at what you do, people wait for you. All my clients know to wait for me." Girl this is a bumpkin town and you are one of three salons in the area. That's why people wait. She can do natural hair good. The braiding is another story. But as soon as Sam admitted she over books to her benefit, I knew this was my last visit. If you need money that bad, start raising prices. I have been to salons that charge $120+ for a relaxer and I have no issues paying that amount since they respect my time and are ready for me at the agreed upon appointment time. All Sam said was "oh well I was gonna ask you to show up early in the week but I always see you book on Saturdays" Yes because that's when I'm free to get my hair done! If you don't have time for me that's fine I will reschedule with you no problem. But to make my sick self wait there for over an hour and a half and for her to think that's okay??? That's crazy. The amount of time I waited was longer than the amount of time it took Sam to do my hair. She started with me at 3:08pm and I was out the door by 4:15pm. This visit was it for me. I'm going back to my girls in Jersey I don't care about the drive since I only get relaxers 3-4 times a year. At least out there they respect my time and are ready for me the moment I walk in. Going to Sam, you can't plan anything else the rest of the day cuz you don't know if you're gonna be there for 1 hour or 4 hours. If you're good at what you do, you won't have people waiting almost 2 hours to get their hair done. Hair it iz. Here I go.

She saw what was done and really couldn't do anything to fix it. The trim was incomplete and each side looks different. It will take 4-6 months for my hair to grow out so it can be corrected.

I hope the school takes action.

They worked hard to give us a good education and always did their best, even when the resources around them weren't ideal. However, I want future students to be aware of some ongoing issues on the administrative side. There is a significant miscommunication between the business office and students, and the processing of graduation paperwork is extremely slow. Many of us have had to wait 4-6 weeks for our paperwork to be sent to the state, which delays being able to schedule our cosmetology or nail technician licensing exams. It almost feels like the paperwork gets "stuck" somewhere, and no one can give a clear answer on the status. Additionally, the facility itself could be better maintained. There were several times when the bathrooms did not have adequate soap or paper towels. The teachers do what they can, but this is clearly an administration and management issue, not an instructor issue. Overall: great teachers, frustrating administration. I hope they address these problems because the students and educators deserve better.
