I'm writing this review on behalf of my wife. She went here a month ago for a massage to try to…read moreget relief from chronic upper back and neck pain and they were fantastic. She had tried another place in town that uses students and she did not get relief at all. She was feeling so good that several weeks later when the pain was returning she went for another treatment and again got the repeat she was looking for. They do such a good job we have made standing reservations for the next few months to stay ahead of the pain. For the first time since knowing my wife she is living without back and neck pain. It's just so worth it to see my wife living without all that pain. They are a full spa so they have many other services also. The last time my wife was there she got her nails done also. Again, did a great job. Guys, if you want to take care of your wife, this is a great way to do it.

I never write reviews but getting acrylics done at this place was the worst decision I ever made…read more My fingers are raw as she filed my skin on several of my nails. Not only that but everything looked bumpy and messy. She had to redo my one hand because it looked that bad. The "nail tech" rolled her eyes at me several times.

This is usually where I get my nails done in State College. I was never a "getting my nails done"…read moretype person, until I got a pedicure and realized that the massage chair and foot soak did a lot just in terms of stress reduction and relaxation. Plus, $35 for a mani+pedi didn't seem to bad. Once, however, the women doing my nails cut my cuticles so short that 8 of 10 fingers bled; she put the sanitizer on without warning me it may burn, but at least it stopped the bleeding... until I got home and another ripped open. What I find disappointing about Regal Nails is that yeah, it's cheap, but it lacks. I feel like they're always in a huge hurry, and the work suffers as a result. When I'm in Chicago I can get a mani-pedi for $35 where it's much more thorough and high quality; yes, I realize it's in a different place, but it seems silly that in a city of 3 million I can get better services for the same price... and everyone blames big cities for being expensive. This is "A-OK" for State College, because I haven't found better. It would get 2 stars in another place.

Even though I often have no idea what I want as to color, cut or style, Jennifer is amazing and when I leave my hair looks fantastic.

This Salon is relatively new. The building they are in has been recently renovated and they did a…read morefantastic job on it. The salon is kept very clean and they seem to have very good equipment to work with. The ladies working there are very pleasant and personable. For the record, I am a guy and I typically only get a buzz cut. The part I like the most about it is that they accept walk-ins. That makes it very convenient for me as I am usually pretty busy so when I can find a couple minutes to get my haircut, they can usually find a couple minutes to slide me in, in between appointments. So guys check it out. They do a great job and quick!

Best SPA mani-pedi ever! Henry did a great job and my poor feet were so grateful. I recently had…read moresurgery and my feet and legs needed a lot of TLC and they got it.

Unfortunately, the quality of this salon has declined over the years. Today, my mother and…read moregrandmother and I went in for mani-pedis, and we were honestly taken aback by the overall cost. My mother received a standard manicure with no color, just two clear coats, and was charged $75. My grandmother received a gel manicure on her natural nails with no acrylics and was charged $90. The pedicure pricing seemed accurate. The express pedicure was $30, with an additional $15 charge for gel, which still feels excessive. Beyond the pricing, we felt rushed throughout the appointment, and the staff came across as rude and unwelcoming. There was very little communication or customer service during the visit. Had I been there when my grandmother paid, I absolutely would have questioned the pricing, especially after looking up the pricing on their website. Given the lack of transparency and the unusually high charges, it genuinely felt like she was taken advantage of.

Unfortunately, the service felt rushed and inattentive. The technician was distracted by a phone call, and basic nail care like filing and grooming was skipped. When the gel color turned out much more yellow than expected, I asked to have it fixed. Another tech added a quick coat but didn't shape or finish the nails afterward, and I was hurried to pay and leave. I've always liked this salon, but today's visit felt unprofessional and not up to their usual standard.

This is definitely my new spot and I've been a return customer since they've opened. First off the…read moresalon is very clean. I would disregard the other reviews saying it isn't clean. Yes, they do reuse the paraffin wax when you dip your hands in BUT you wash your hands before doing so. On top of that studies have shown paraffin wax is NOT a conduit for transferring bacteria due to it's chemical makeup and therefore cross contamination is not something to worry about (bacteria/viruses can't live in an oil based environment and this wax is just that) and this is perfectly sanitary. Bee and Jimmy are great as is the rest of the staff. They're all super friendly and make you feel welcome as well as providing quality service compared to other nail salons in the area--and O Nails is my number one pick for this area. To my knowledge they are the only salon around here to offer a service that is actually good for your nails (It's called the Healthy Nail at this salon). I've done acrylics and gels and they've never promoted growth and strength in my nails like this does. And it lasts so much longer than any other nail trend I've tried--so I'd recommend them for this!

I come to O Nails Spa only when I can not get into my normal nail place. My last experience a…read morelittle over a month ago is the last time I will come due to horrible customer service. The experience is not a "spa" experience and not relaxing--the women who work here are not friendly and create a hostile environment. Every time I have come in, they have random friends or family who don't work there sitting with them while they are working. Last time I was there, when the lady was done, she simply got up and walked away... didn't even say anything to me.

Since this would be the first time I was getting my hair done in PA, I really had no idea where to go. I turned to the handy-dandy Yelp app for some assistance. Many of the hair salons listed were located in downtown SC. Though several of the salons had decent reviews, they appeared to be on the pricier side. In addition, I did not want to drive 15-20 minutes and have to hunt for parking. Shear Spirit was one of few hair salons listed in my area. Unfortunately, there were no Yelp reviews, so I decided to do some detective work on the interweb aka Google. Voila! I found what I was looking for. 4.9 stars? Impossible! ...or was it? To know for sure, I'd have to check this place out... At 9:00 a.m., I was the first customer of the day. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by the owner and hair stylist, Barb. The salon had a chic, rustic feel to it. Although my hair had grown out a good amount, it was barely shoulder length. I didn't exactly know how I wanted my hair cut. The only thing I knew for sure is my hair really needed to be tamed. Barb's affable demeanor helped me to immediately feel at ease. I was extremely pleased with my haircut. Barb also did a great job on my eyebrows. Woohoo, I think I've found my new hair salon!
