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 just here tonight and I had a girl cut my hair with long blonde hair! I didn't get her name…read more She didn't tell me and the name was not on the receipt like I was hoping, but she was a total bitch and she was snotty and every time I tried to strike up a conversation or I asked her to trim a little more off in a certain area she's got a bad attitude about it and very huffy! I will NOT be back here ever again!! I have been a very loyal customer and you have just lost one of your frequent customers!!

I just want to say for a school/business that is to TEACH students and help them better themselves…read morethat come from of all ages and backgrounds. The teaching educators to the highest CEO to even the front desk attendant they are some of the most rude- most judgmental- ignorant-hypocritical people I have ever met in my entire life. The teachers pick and choose who they like from day to day. They nit pick and target different students. One student can not but another student can. They talk and gossip about students in front of them. They allow bullying within the school. The teachers put students down. And the people within the school they should be able turn to stick up for the wrong individuals. The CEO has an attitude. So does anyone you speak to about an issue you have within the school. You hear about good things within the school. But you do not hear about negative. You do not get praised. You get put down. After all the money the facility gets. You would think they would be a little more polite to the student giving them a paycheck and enjoy the life they are living. But no. They make students cry on the daily. Parents are texted and called daily. Try doing better. Or get a new job.

I have been going to the Altoona Beauty School for years, mainly for facials as a treat to myself…read more My facial was excellent per usual, but I was very disappointed today. I had a gift card I was planning to use, but when I was checking out the receptionist told me they got a new system and were unable to take gift cards right now and couldn't even tell me when it would be fixed.... I didn't think this was right or very professional, no sign was up nor was I told when booking the appointment. Probably not a good idea to switch systems if everything isn't up and running. I am not one to write reviews but was not very happy leaving today.

This was a frequent visit of mine but something was different. I signed in as usual. Waiting about…read morean hour since they appeared busy. Typical wait usually is 30 minutes. What I seen this Saturday was not pleasant. There were people walking in without signed and going to a chair immediately being cut. One was a little boy with his mother. Father arrived shortly after than as the cut began another child and mother arrived whom did not sign in. The barber whom I assume was the trainer moving the new child right to his seat. About 45 minutes in my wait an Elderly man came in and his son. He was asked by the trainer to sign in. As waiting was ongoing a few people left and as my turn would hopefully happy one of the students said the elderly man was next without looking at the sign in sheet. If this is an indication of how the students are allowed to do as they wish why would a sign in sheet matter since they so far have not. I stood up and said " That's it, I'm out." Scratching my name of the sheet. Mr. Champ I would ask you have a talk with your students and trainer.

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.

And you can't beat the prices especially in this economy!!

very poor education, if your thinking about attending this school. don't. i was here for 5 months…read moreand learned absolutely nothing in my curriculum. debbie, the main person, chases people down for their tuition but is never at the school that she supposedly runs. i was excited to start esthetician school to move on and get my license. but this school made it dreadful and made me second guess my career choice. every girl that you'll meet in the school will tell you it is terrible and a big waste of money. there has been much trouble with debbie forgetting about payments and telling girls they owe more than they do. she isn't suited to run this school, she doesn't keep up with anything that we are learning and when she is there she's talking about her childhood and where and how she grew up. in my opinion that is not school related and that is NOT what i spent my money on. it is a total waste of money and your time. i highly suggest looking into a different school if you are considering this one.
