Best Hair Salons In State College

“Ellie is meticulous! I am so picky about my manicures, and she not only takes fabulous care of me, she also has healed my nails after disastrous ($$$) manis in NYC. I haven’t been happy with most pedicures I’ve gotten around town, and have even gotten infections some places. But they are super diligent about cleanliness and sanitizing. I highly recommend the Signature Pedicure!

Joe somehow tames my teenaged son’s crazy, bushy hair, and I absolutely love that he walks out of the salon clearly feeling happy and confident — something Joe is brilliant at pulling out of him!

Everyone on staff is amazing, and they are good about suggesting the right person to meet your specific needs. Can’t recommend them enough. ☺️“

“Brooke (I think) was very nice. Just out of school. Nice perm. A little tight but better than loose. Would suggest larger sections next time. Kind of expensive but that is everywhere. Hair is big business!“

“I always look forward to seeing Leanne—she works magic with her hands! I get so many compliments on my hair after her haircuts. I’ve never met a hairdresser like Leanne before; she treats my hair with such care and kindness. I also love chatting with her during my visits!“

“Awesome first time experience as Melody was so great with my daughter getting her lashes lifted and tinted. Great experience!!“

“Svitlana did an amazing job gave me exactly what I asked for and paid attention to details thank you Svitlana!“

“Nicole was personable, clean, friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and gave me exactly the haircut I wanted! Will be coming back to see her!“

“I got a great haircut here on my wavy hair. The lady's name is slipping my mind but she had black glasses and shoulder length blonde hair. She was an absolute sweetheart and took time to make sure my hair was perfectly to my liking.“

“Kris did such a great job helping me zone in on what I wanted for my haircut. It had been a while since my last haircut so she had her work cut out for her! Love the style and will be so easy to style for my son’s upcoming wedding. Thank you!“

“I have gone to the same barbershop for 15 years, but due to needing a haircut on such short notice, I decided to schedule an appointment here. Staff was pleasant and welcoming. My stylist (I forget the name of the specific stylist) did exactly what i asked for and service was fast. I loved the work that my stylist did and so did my fiancée!

Side Note: I’m on the autism spectrum and changes in routine or new environments can be nerve racking, but I will say that my experience exceeded my expectations and made for a pleasant experience. will be visiting again in the near future!“

“I’m a college student here and needed my nails done ASAP after I broke them ?. I can say everyone there is super welcoming and bubbly, it’s a nice community in there for sure. While they are mainly known for their hair, their nail work is highly professional, honestly better than majority of the nail owned businesses around me at home. Yes, it’s a little more on the pricier end, but it’s essential to keep in mind we are in State College, more of a tourist area I would say, so it’s granted prices will be a little higher than back at home. To me, the pricing isn’t even that bad. I think the work is worth the cost, my nail lady did everything I asked and was so nice. I would recommend to my friends and the inside is soo clean. The owner is also adorable from when I spoke to her briefly. I haven’t tried the other nail places around SC, but this one was impressive. Do recommend.“

“My artist was friendly, professional, and helped save the disasterpiece that was my hair. All the staff were fantastic. I would recommend to anyone and will visit again!“

“Hali is outstanding and her welcoming friendly personality is to be commended! Thank you and as always awesome haircut!“

“Best barbershop in State College. The appointments are very convenient, and all of the barbers do an amazing job. Donna is the owner and has cut my hair for a decade, she is the best!“

“This was my first time coming here, and the front desk staff were very nice and friendly. My manicure and pedicure were amazing. I felt relaxed and completely comfortable throughout the experience. Definitely recommend!“

“Had a great hair cut from a lady named Jessica. It is definitely the best hair cut I've had in a long while, and was very polite and took my suggestions seriously. She may not have laughed at my lame jokes, which she had probably heard a thousand times before, I will definitely be coming here for my next one.“

“Tina strives to improve her service each time. She will spend time to explain things about color. I take my whole family there.“

“I had a gel mani and pedi with Irina for my wedding. She did an amazing job! She really takes her time to learn what you want. She is very thorough and my nails are flawless.
For my pedi, she added a filler to my big toenails that are small from surgery, and she made look so good and natural!
I’m so glad I found Irina!“

“Great haircut and a good price! Susie was very friendly and there wasn't one awkward silence the whole time!“

“I have been going to this salon for the past few years and never been disappointed. Sis V. truly cares and the same applies for Ausha and Carrie. I found a family there and the professionalism is top notch. If you want to be treated like you are the only person, with love and care, this salon is the right place for you. My entire family goes there and we are always very happy as sis V always exceeds our expectations. Many thanks to you and God richly bless you for your continued kindness and expertise. You have no idea how much this means to us:)“

“Stylists are very friendly and they do a nice job. I was told that the owner might discontinue the Buzzcut option. I’m not sure why she would do this. I’m follicley challenged and it takes all of five minutes to trim my hair. $10.00 was a fair price for such a short time in the chair. The price is now $15.00 (50% increase). That is as high as I will pay.“

“I love this salon because of the stylist politeness and experience also. A reasonable salon with a very good expert especially Luann she is just wowwww. She just changed my looks with a brand new haircut which satisfy me a lot. She always does what suits me perfectly ?Service: Haircut“

“Highly recommend! My wife and son absolutely love this place! I appreciate that there's a barber shop next door“

“Walked in for a fade mullet and was accepted immediately. After being turned down by several other barbers, the let us in no issue and gave me my flow back.“

“I’ve fairly new to the area and wanted to find a place that did eyebrow threading. There are basically no choices in State College except for Leila’s. I had a great experience. Leila threaded my eyebrows and did a fantastic job. I didn’t need an appt and had no wait time. She was very friendly and did a great job. Prices are not bad either. $17 for eyebrow threading.“
