Just brought my child to salon Avanti for a trim. The whole process took less than 10 minutes. The…read morestylist, Krista, was very nice to my son. The problem arose when we went to checkout. The receptionist said the charge was $20. Their website claims that children ages 0-5 are age x $2 so I was expecting to pay less than half of the price charged, which we've done before (see attached photo of pricing from their website). I understand that some stylists may charge more, but I should have been told that information when the appointment was scheduled, so that I could have made a more informed decision. I feel like that is a shady way of doing business. I think the best decision at this point would be to never refer or return to salon Avanti.

Being a retired hairdresser it's mind boggling to try and find a stylist that understands just what…read moreu want. I read the reviews on yelp as I do for some things and come to know it's really just someone's experience for them. Which their views may or may not be the same as others, non the less when I read that a gal tries this salon and like they way Linda did her hair and her mothers, that's when it kinda spoke to me. I made an appointment with Linda, she was very chatty and friendly. I explained how I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted and showed her a few photos. She listened and we got started. Again, she's very chatty and I was a bit nervous thinking we're in conversations and she's not paying attention to what I asked for. As it's going to be either too short or too long. NOT the case, when she was done it was just what I asked for. She nailed it. So it looks like Wyomissing hair studio is my new salon. Also the owner is very nice as well. Telling me Linda will take good care of me!

My favorite stylist is Erin (I followed her from her previous salon to Salon Flo), but really the entire staff is great and friendly. Pro tip: be sure to make an appointment and schedule your next one while you're there! Parking is available behind the building via a one way street (enter on the side by Flannigans).

I am very disappointed with Bell Tower Salon Spa services. They changed my appointment for a 90…read moreminute Hot Stone massage 3 times without a valid reason. I received a TEXT from Bell Tower (610)372-6379 on 1/26/26 at 4:40 pm that stated: "Good afternoon Marie. This is Cynthia, Guest Service Coordinator, at Bell Tower Salon Spa. I am reaching out to confirm your appt tomorrow (TUES) 1/27/26 for a 90 minute Hot stone massage with Paige at 9AM. I tried calling you but there is a temporary error message instead due to a cancellation Paige has later in her day to help streamline her schedule more efficiently? Kindly let me know at your earliest convenience. Thank you." I responded with a TEXT: "Yes on 1030 am tomorrow is good. Thank you." I received a TEXT back: " Thank you for your TEXTING Bell Tower Salon Spa. You have reached us outside of our business hours. We will respond to your text message during our Guest Services hours Monday through Saturday 9:00 am- 5:00 pm." (So why was this message sent at 4:40 pm then? Why was this sent so late?? Bell Tower said they will respond to my text but did not do so immediately.) I received another TEXT from Bell Tower salon Spa at a different number (855) 661-0746 on 1/26/27 9:06 am that stated: "Bell Tower Salon Spa: " Reminder your appt is Tuesday 1/27/26 at 9:00 AM. Please call or TEXT if you need to cancel or reschedule to not acquire a cancellation fee." I responded with a TEXT: "Yes." (To confirm) On Tuesday 1/27/26 I arrived at Bell Tower Salon Spa before 10 am thinking my appointment was for 1030 am. I was informed by the front desk that my schedule was moved to 12:45 pm that day and a TEXT was sent to me the SAME day as my schedule!! This is unacceptable and unprofessional to change my schedule time 3 times!! I checked my text in front of the clerk and I saw a TEXT was sent to me the same day of my appointment on 1/27/26 at 9:19am from (610) 372-6379 that stated: "Good morning Marie I apologize for the confusion but due to the late confirmation the appointment was not moved and the 1030am spot has been filled. We can move you to James at 12:45pm or Paige at 2:30 pm." This message was texted twice at the same time. 1. I did not ask for and I would not want a male for a massage therapist. That is my choice, the customer's choice! 2. I left my house by 9 am to do errands before my appointment time which was supposed to be by 1030 am. 3. When I spoke with Joanna ( Manager) to explain this, she told me that the system does not allow for the staff to see my response back to Bell Tower. I questioned her response and said, "How do I know what you are telling me is true?" Then I showed her my the texts that I received the messages and I responded back by texting. Joanna kept quiet and I knew she lied. 4. Joanna could not explain why my scheduled time was bumped 3 times when I questioned her. 5. Joanna apologized and stated, "We screwed up." 6. The blonde clerk did offer to have Paige give me a 30 minute massage, but I said that should have been a complimentary massage. The clerk said, that I would have to wait for Paige at 2:30 pm and offered a small discount. This was unacceptable and my time and trip over Bell Tower was wasted. Who authorized this change? My time was jeopardized for the convenience of the staff to "streamline" her schedule?? Is her time more important than the paying customer?? 7. I explained to Joanna that my husband has been a long time customer, buying gift cards for the last 5 years for our family and friends, but this will need to stop! 8. I am disgusted with how management handled this issue. This is poor customer service, poor time management, poor satisfactory and poor leadership. This was not handled well!! 9. I asked for a full refund on my gift card and will not return to this place. This was a first and last time for me here. The customer service here is disgraceful!!

I had two fantastic services last week: a facial with Jamie and a message with James, both of which…read moreI absolutely loved. They are both very professional and great at what they do. Jamie gave me the BEST scalp massage! (Yes, it messes up your hair, but it is SO worth it when you have a facial). And the rest of the facial was equally lovely. It was very relaxing and my skin feels fantastic. James gave me the BEST foot massage, as well as a total body massage! He is strong but uses just the right amount of pressure. I have had many massages over the years and including the foot is rare. To me it is such a treat! (Kind of like a scalp massage during a facial.) The whole massage was a treat, and I came out of there feeling like a noodle. The Spa itself is very nice. The accommodations are appropriate and the staff overall was great. I live about an hour and 15 away; I picked this spa because I was meeting a friend halfway. I enjoyed myself so much that the hour plus drive won't stop me from returning.

I got my hair colored my Amanda maybe a year ago, and she sat down with me and we looked at different colors (that came with the dyed hair in a book!) so I could see what color I wanted (brown), along if I wanted some tint to it (red, gold, rose gold, etc.) The only thing I will say is that the location itself may be difficult for individuals who use mobility aids, since it's below ground of a main business building and requires stairs down to the salon.

I shook my head yes, then walk to my mom's clinic and explained it all. Every time they see her they beg her to talk to me, they say they were begging me not yelling. Yeah, sure begging at the top of their lungs with anger. In other words, they were lying due to regret.
