wouldn't recommend this place tho if you get stressed easily, We booked an appointment arrived on time, the workers here took about 20 minutes to get to us and mine you we had booked an appointment if not supposed to wait. they took us in and they were doing their thing but they would come and go and we had to wait for them to come back to continue what they were doing they would go do other people's hair instead of mine i booked an appointment not a walk in. The service is okay they need to work on it more. the quality here is looking okay like every other nail place. the vibe I get in here is welcoming everyone wants their hair,nails done by jenni is what i see.

After calling and asking if I could be seen for a gel manicure, I arrived and waited about 15 minutes before my service began, which would not have been a big deal if the service had been quality. Everyone in the salon is very kind but the manicure I received was messy in every way. The polish is pushed up onto my cuticles and nail beds without a clean line and lots of polish on my skin. In some areas it is built up to a raised edge that will likely chip very soon. I showed an image of a "glazed donut" nail and was provided with a chrome treatment which I don't think was the best way to achieve that look. The chrome powder seemed to really accentuate all the messy areas of the nail. I'm quite disappointed and I do not have time to go in to ask for them to redo the nails in the next several days. I will not be going back. The images included are from the morning after.

My haircut from Shear Envy.

I was timid about trying this salon, but the reviews were great. It's a small place hidden next to an Albertson's grocery store. The vibe was very relaxed, with some 80s & 90s music playing, while two stylists ran all over. They managed to keep it together in spite of how busy they were. I made an appointment for a haircut. I couldn't believe the price! Talk about affordable! Just $23! I was afraid I'd get a wretched do, but was shocked to get a nice layered bob. It was just what asked for, and needed. My hair was pasty shoulders and very damaged. I made an appointment, although they do take walk-ins. The ladies are great! I'll be returning.

Needed a trim and took the risk of trying a new place!! Read the reviews & went in asking for Jenni. She did amazing, did exactly what I asked for! + haircut price is budget friendly. I will be returning for my next trim :)

Hair by Jenni. Loving the color and style. Thank you so much Jenni !

Jenni always does a great with my hair. Her team is amazing as well. I love the way it comes out every time I go to her. Thank you Jenni !

Bumpy and bubbly gel medi done by Ana
Sydney N.

I came in for a gel medi and pedi and I let them know over the phone that I had previous work done (gel x) on my nails. They soaked my hand for about 30 minutes but still did not fully take it off all the way. Instead of thoroughly cleaning the base of my nail Ana painted over it and called it a day. I didn't want to say anything in store because that is not the type of person I am but here are some pictures of their work. Not to mention she was cutting my skin and then cut too deep which made me bleed. After that she decided to put my hand back into acetone, not very professional.

Very surprised and very happy with my recent hair cut. I've been putting off a hair cut for almost a year and today decided it was the day. After trying more than a hand full of local salons and finding no success, I gave Shear Envy a call and they got me right in. Moses listened to what I wanted and got to work. It came out great with good texture. It finally feels healthy again.

Went in on a whim (called at ten, showed up at noon) because I wasn't liking my hair and thought a color change would make me feel better about myself. When I tell you... I've NEVER left a hair salon actually liking my hair, I mean it, and today, I LOVED it! I didn't expect much of anything, but Jenny got my hair ashier than it's ever been in just one session. For someone who's "not picky" (aka doesn't know what they want), I'm so grateful she delivered and actually cared. Amazing price as well.

Dry Hair Cut: Trimmed off 3-4 inches. Long Layers
Enielle L.

Went for a Dry Hair Cut and Anna was my hairstylist. For $25 + $5 tip, I would come back here again.

Plastic dividers
Maria L.

So happy they're open again and observing COVID precautions. They check your temperature upon entry, ensure you spritz some hand sanitizer in front + added plexi glass in the cashier area. They installed plastic dividers between pedicure chairs (including between shampoo sinks) and spread out manicure stations. The girls are always friendly and efficient and service rates are reasonable. I love the pedicure with cooling gel wrapped in hot towel around my leg. Feels so good! They offer hair and nail service. They add $1 for credit card payments. Convenient location in the Albertson's shopping center on State College and Ball-ish. Call ahead to secure a spot. Highly recommended!

terrible "highlights". Nothing like what I asked for.

I used to come here all the time for hair cuts since they are affordable and normally well done. However, I did a cut and highlights with Anna and was very disappointed. She botched my highlights making them look like tiger stripes and the color was very orange after me specifically saying I wanted no brassy/orange tones. She had to tone it down several times after I told her that's not what I wanted. On top of that the cut was awful. I asked for a tiny bit off the ends and some layers and she cut several inches and did not do any layers.. She also charged me much higher than I would've expected for a quick and messy cut and color. I shouldn't have gone to Anna because my hair looked way better before I walked in and I left very disappointed.

How much for a gel manicure?

They said $15 for a manicure, $22. for a peducure

I called to make an appointment with Sam but they said they were closed like permanently. Is this true?

No we are not closed. Sam only works on Tuesday and Wednesday only.

This time, I asked Jenni to try something new on me since I wanted to keep my longer hair on top and do a taper on the side.

It ended up more expensive than I expected, but I think I just did my math wrong. I did get cut during the pedicure, but all their tools were sterile so it was no biggie. The vibes were fun, the massage chairs and pillows were comfortable and the music was boppin' for a fun nail afternoon with friends. Now I do want to note - the job they did was not perfect. Some bits came out not matching or not quite the perfect shape. But she checked with me after every step and I had an opportunity to correct if I had better eagle eyes in the moment. I was just too overstimulated at the time to notice - but I think someone who knows exactly what they want would be able to direct them better toward perfection! Just keep an eye on it and be clear and I'm sure they can do it.

I've been coming to Trendy Nails ever since I got my wedding nails done at the end of 2023, and I haven't looked back since. Once I discovered the cat eye design, I was officially hooked. The owners, David and Molly, are so friendly and accommodating and truly make you feel like an old friend every time you come in for an appointment. I've also had pedicures here and have zero complaints. Molly is my go to when it comes to my nails, but she's in high demand, so I've had other nail techs do my nails as well and I've never had a bad experience. Consistent, quality work every time.

Check. Yummy complimentary Vietnamese coffee. Check. Then it goes downhill. Lisa was very nice but she's rough. It was painful getting my gel off, getting my cuticles pulled, and the scrub on my legs was too much. Then a corner was taken off one of my toenails, half of them are uneven, parts of the nails don't have enough glitter flakes, and my large toenail didn't get filed or taken off properly and looks like I have stuff under it. I paid for a deluxe but there was absolutely nothing done that was in addition to a regular pedicure....no paraffin wax, callous removal, etc. When we were finishing up, I asked Lisa if I could use the restroom. She said yes but when I asked the Bosslady where it was she said they didn't have a working bathroom. Interesting. I will not be returning.

I chose a white that had a sheer look to it so I understood it's not a solid color but a little more effort in having it be at least consistent would have been nice. The lady was a little rough with cleaning my cuticles and the whole service felt very rushed. I was trying to show in the pictures the inconsistency with the shape and part of the nail actually not being covered with paint. She overextended onto my skin and still ended up leaving the cuticles very choppy. In addition, I don't know what it is, but something was left on the polish before it was cured so now it's stuck in the nail. If I was from the area I definitely would not be returning here

He asked me if it was the money or service I was upset about. I told him that I was upset at the service. I know the price and understood it was a service. I did let him know that I would still be going to visit my nail lady because I do love her work. So long as she is there I will continue to visit the location. I wish I had read the reviews from the person with her daughter. I went here because my nail lady started working here. I have followed her for over 10 years because she does the best pedicures! I took my daughter here to get her nails done for her Bday and promotions, she is 14. I called in to see if they could take her in at athe same time of my appointment for a full set of acrylic nails. They said yes to bring her. I arrived and reminded them it was for acrylic. I told the nail technician the same thing. She told him the same thing, I hear as she was near my seat and I even went over to see what design she had showed him. Somehow the guy that did her nails did Gel X nails. We did not ask for Gel X as we have that at home and can do that ourselves. Not sure it's was a language barrier but they did Gel x!!! My daughter said she didn't want me to cause a scene in the salon. She is also quite and shy so it doesn't surprise me that she didn't mention. So what I called I was very upset as they charged me $70 for her nails. They ask me why didn't my daughter say anything which I replied, She shouldn't have and it doesn't matter because I paid for the service and I had explicitly told them three times what we wanted, my daughter did too. At the end they did offer to take them off and put acrylic which I said absolutely not because they are fresh but of nails and if we do that it will ruin her nail bed. I did ask for my money back they said the owner would call me back I was adamant to get a response and then there because they had supposedly already alert at the owner. At the end they hung up on me I called back I thought it was a mistake turns out that they are blocking me according to the message from the salon. I am upset and I am expecting a call from the owner as per our conversation before they hung up on me. Very bad customer service and very bad attitude from some of these people. I love my nail lady, she apologized to me on a separate text and I apologize to her because I am upset, but I am so very upset at the salon not her. She did an amazing job on my pedicure as always.

They also began being very rude and giving attitude for scrolling on my ipad (I read my homework while I wait) after drying my nails of course as if I am going to scroll with the top of my nails The last straw was when I went in tonight an hour before they closed. A little close I know but usually if all I get is a set im in and out within an hr maybe an hr and a half and I will tip well for good service, always. I had a simple nail design (I will share a pic of what I asked for and what I got) and it took from start to finish 3 hours! Which would be excusable if I had a complex design and they got it RIGHT. I left after 3 hours wondering why my nails looked like a 4 year old did them and still got charged a full $65 for this horrendous waste of time. Will never return even after 7 years of being loyal.
