Designer’s Denn Salon & Spa has received thousands of reviews on six verified sites with an average rating of 4.95 stars, earning them a marvelous Rating Score™ of 99.46 and two 2019 Top Rated Local awards for being ranked among the top 50 businesses and the top five beauty salons and spas in all of Pennsylvania!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“I had my bridal hair and makeup done here, along with all of my bridesmaids, mom, mother-in-law and grandmother. We had such a great experience! They provided us with a lounge area set up with tables and light refreshments and snacks, which allowed us [to have] a place to relax while others got their services done. There was a schedule set up to ensure no time was wasted, as we were on a tight schedule for the day! All of the ladies providing us service were very nice, personable and really good at what they do! My bridal party looked amazing all day and night! Thank you, Designer’s Denn!” – Jenna B.

Not Your Average Beauty Salon

We wanted to learn more about this two-time award winner and how they managed to build such an impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Melinda Hooper, President of Designer’s Denn Salon & Spa.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes Designer’s Denn Salon & Spa a one-of-a-kind beauty salon in Pennsylvania. Here’s what Melinda had to say:

“We have ongoing, advanced education in every single department. We are very much an educational salon and spa. We continually update and educate every staff member.”

Melinda went on to say:

“A lot of what keeps my business so stable is the leadership development that I provide for my whole management team.”

We also asked Melinda what their mission is at Designer’s Denn Salon & Spa and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s her response:

“Our mission is to provide our community with an exceptional experience by a highly trained and professional team who are committed to exceeding our guests’ expectations on each and every visit.”

Building Success by Asking for Reviews

Melinda attributes Designer’s Denn Salon & Spa’s strong online reputation to their commitment to asking their customers for reviews.

Every beauty salon wants to build the kind of online reputation Designer’s Denn Salon & Spa has. When we asked Melinda what advice she has for those salons, she said:

“Hire someone within the salon, not an outside person, to do your social media and online presence, because it feels more like it comes from within your salon.”


Congratulations to the team at Designer’s Denn Salon & Spa for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Melinda, for taking the time to speak with us!
