I was so anxious before I started school at TSPA, but that was quickly forgotten due to the fact that I had such a warm welcome! The tour in the beginning and orientation with Ms Michelle went so smoothly and she was very enthusiastic about everything. The educators at the Salon are extremely helpful and ensure that you have a complete understanding of everything you are learning in the classroom, as well as the Salon floor. Even the atmosphere of the school is so upbeat and fun that you truly feel like you’re at a high end Salon. I’ve definitely made some life long friendships and I’m so excited to be attending TSPA Altoona!

I've always had a passion for cosmetology and upon graduation I decided to tour TSPA Altoona. My first impression of this school was fantastic. I was greeted immediately by the front desk staff with a smile and given a tour of the building. I then met with the education director to learn more information about the school and all of my questions were answered. I knew this school was the right decision for me from the moment I walked in here and all of the fellow students and educators made me feel welcome. I have attended this school for 5 weeks now and already learned so much. I would recommend this school to anyone trying to peruse a career in cosmetology.

This school is one of the best beauty schools out there. All of the staff an educators are friendly and helpful. They interact with all the students and never leave anybody behind. The classes cover so much material and the hands on practice is outstanding. The atmosphere is welcoming, making students and guests feel comfortable while they’re here. TSPA makes sure you’re prepared for your career in cosmetology before you graduate and even helps you build your portfolio along the way. I recommend TSPA Altoona for students looking to get a great education and guests looking for quality services with friendly staff.

The teachers and staff go above and beyond for all their students and they are willing to take time to work with you one on one to make sure you understand it. They let you creativity SHINE by doing unique challenges from makeup to updo's. Even the office staff works with each student when life throws you a curveball they will help you figure out the options that's in the best interest of you. They love motivating and watching each student succeed. I love going to school and knowing that you are going to make a beautiful creation on each person that sits in your chair. I love knowing my career is boosting self confidence and making the natural beauty of people SHINE.

This school is amazing! When I was first talking about coming to school I was so nervous and scared because I didn’t was to be bullied like I was all through middle school and high school. When something started I went straight to Ms Michelle and it got snagged in the butt right away! The educators are amazing and I wouldn’t change the way they teach us!! I love this school and always recommend this school when someone asks about going to a beauty school! LOVE IT! TSPA PROUD!

One of the best Salons I've been to. Great staff that greeted us right when we walked in the door. I was with two of my male friends, who went to get their hair cut. After we were greeted, two staff members Ashley and Jen Dennis immediately had the two gentlemen in chairs to begin their haircuts! They made them both feel as if they knew them their entire lives. Making them laugh and enjoy the entire experience. Most of all they made the guys feel comfortable being in a salon. The facility was gorgeous and clean. You could really tell the staff enjoyed their jobs which makes the experience, that much better. Thank you ladies at the salon and we WILL be back. I highly recommend this salon to anyone :)

Love this establishment! So friendly and so professional. Sent my boyfriend in and he came out a new man! Ms Jen and her staff went above and beyond. So worth the trip from North Carolina!

The minute I walked in the door of the school I felt like I was in a NY City Salon. The place is drop dead gorgeous. The art work, styling stations, retail was so over the top I couldn't help but ask for the owner to tell her how amazing the place was. While I was getting a haircut by this amazing young student. ( I thought she was cutting hair for years) she said they had a brand new spray tan machine. I never tried it before, but she talked me into it. OMG, It not only was a great experience but they let me try it for free. My hair looked great and so did my tan. I have been back several times and each time I get a spray tan. Love this place. I visit Altoona for work once a month and never miss my visit with this amazing place. FYI, the pricing for services are the best I have ever seen. Give it a try and get a spray tan.

Posting my review under my boyfriend's name, but I am female and was there Jan. 31
The Salon was running a promotion; for a haircut and a brow wax, it cost $8 (can't be beat).
I had never been, but because of the price and the fact that there are instructors there, throughout the process, I will probably go back despite several negatives.
My hair dresser is set to graduate in May, yet I really don't think she's ready. She needs more practice and more confidence.
For example, she didn't rinse all the soap out of my hair and when I told her I wanted to take off 4" (I have long hair) she made a face like I was crazy (not reassuring). She asked me why I wanted to make such a big change. I honestly don't consider that a big change at all, but she said she hates even having her hair trimmed. Not sure she's in the right profession if she cringes every time she has to do a cut.
I asked for "layers" and she gave me "angles". Her instructor had to fix it and was quizzing her at the same time. She did not know the difference.
I asked if she had time to straighten it and do a manicure (was not planned) and she said she would have to check because she wasn't sure she had enough time. It was 2:00, they close at 4:00 and I was her last customer of the day. She did straighten it, but never spoke of the manicure again so I went elsewhere. It was clear she didn't want to work until close.
Brow waxing went fine.
As I said, I'll probably go back to give it a second try. I think it's important that students get to practice and it is reassuring to know instructors are then and will step in at any time.

I don't know if the staff reads these or not, but they should! I went and got a haircut here for the first time on Saturday, the 13th of July, 2013. I was referred by a friend who knows one of the staff members (Erika W). Bridget (not sure how to spell her name but she had blonde hair and the cutest hot pink shoes) was my hairdresser and was fantastic. I'm growing my hair out for my wedding and she was sure to not cut too much off and cut just enough off to get rid of my split ends. She gave me long layers and angled them at the front and they are perfect. The educators were really nice and one stepped in to help review my hair cut and fix ones or two things. Easily the best haircut experience I've ever had and it was $10. You CANNOT go wrong.
Oh, did I mention that I live in Montreal and will now be driving here (nearly 2 hours) for my future cuts? Yeah. This place rocks.response / report this review
