Services
Alternatives Beauty Studio, established in 2009, is the only one in the Poconos that specializes in only natural hair care including locs, braiding, hair weaving, and make-up.
From the time its doors opened, Alternatives (a small-, woman- and minority-owned business) has provided sought after services to an undeserved portion of the region's hair care marketplace as the Poconos has steadily becoming more diverse and traditionally African-American hairstyles have become more popular and mainstream.

I was reflecting today about how effective a treatment I got in 2019(!) at Alternatives was for me. The place is small but well staffed with friendly, expert beauticians. The lovely woman who did my advanced electrolysis vein removal treatment put me at ease with her knowledge, gave me advice for other skin complaints (which weren't upselling their own services) and, most importantly, removed a very prominent, eight-year-old broken vein on my nose permanently and with no fuss. I had spent 100s of pounds at a well-known chain clinic and the vein always came back. Almost two years after my Alternatives

I have been a customer of Alternatives since 2011 and have always liked it. The services I use the most are hot wax, full body massages and eyebrow threading. The staff are polite and professional. I have recommended this place to several of my friends.

I came in for t section highlights and blow dry. The hairdresser tried to sell me a whole days worth of treatment to correct my apparently bad colour. She also said I shouldn’t go to any other salon. I settled for a blow dry which she did completely differently to what I asked for. When I complained she said she doesn’t have time to fix it because her next client is waiting. Instead she tried to sell me a haircut. I would not recommend.

Threading - One of my eyebrows was noticeably thinner than the other. I was not happy when I looked at in the mirror when I got home. However, the lady doing the threading gave some good advice and I did not have a skin reaction when normally I do. More time needs to be taken to get the shape of the eyebrows correct.
