I wish 10 stars was an option! When I booked the appointment I was disappointed that I had to wait a month. However, it was well worth the wait. Upon entering the salon it is modern, beautiful great energy, attentive staff. As for the haircut. Vicky was so professional, warm and confident. I had just moved here to Pennsylvania and was concerned about finding a stylist. This is by far the best haircut I've had in a very long time.
They were also able to squeeze in an eyebrow wax and Natalie was also super sweet and she new what she was doing. I got exactly what I asked for. If you are considering going to Fontes do not hesitate you will not be disappointed. I already booked my next appointment and I cannot wait! I will be a loyal client for life.

Very friendly staff and very clean. Reasonable prices. I've only ever got a pedicure there, but the nail tech does seem to need a bit of improvement. Though not so bad I won't go back. She does do a good job

Vicky C (Owner) is by far one of the best hair stylist I have ever had. She never lets me down. I even trust her do what she thinks would look good on me and not once was I disappointed. I have been going to this salon for years and not once did I ever walk out feeling disappointed. Hands down the best salon/staff you will ever meet. They go above and beyond and will not let you leave unhappy. I love every minute of coming here and couldn't see myself going anywhere else.

Heather is phenomenal! My color looks great and I love the length and look! She's done my hair for prom before, but I've never had her cut and color it, but now that I have, I'm never going to anyone else!

It took me a long time to find a hair stylist, Vinny is great love to be able to go get my hair done and not be worried about the outcome I know I will love my hair every time!!! Highly recommend!!!
Megan Hartman
I get my hair done by Corinne and I can't even IMAGINE going to anyone else! It took me a LONG time to find my regular stylist and settle down. It took literally a minute after meeting Corinne and I knew I found my girl! Not only is she easy to talk to, she is very personable, and of course does a fabulous job with my hair every single time! I also LOVE the book online feature... Makes it that much easier to schedule an appointment when I think of it at the strangest of hours.
