Beauty & Personal Care across the Albany metro
Inclusive and diverse-owned beauty & personal care businesses across the Albany metro, not just the city itself. Listed in Colonie, Albany, Ballston Lake, Ballston Spa, Schenectady and Clifton Park.
Salons, barbers and personal care studios across the Capital Region. Most work by appointment and a stylist's own book matters more than the address, so it is usual to follow a person between chairs. Ask about hair type and technique when you book rather than on the day.

How many salons, barbers and spas are listed across the Albany metro?
Six right now, in Colonie, Albany, Ballston Lake, Ballston Spa, Schenectady and Clifton Park. The list grows as businesses are recommended, checked and added.
What makes a business inclusive on Inclusivity.org?
Every listing shows why it is here, with a source you can check: the owner's own statement, a public listing such as a chamber directory, or a recognized certification. Some are owned by the communities they serve and some are allies who welcome everyone. We never list someone's identity without a source.
How far ahead should I book a salon or barber?
For specialty services such as braiding, locs, extensions, curly cuts or color correction, a week or two is common, and popular stylists book further out. Ask how long the appointment takes so you can plan the day.
What should I ask before a first appointment?
Ask about experience with your hair or skin type, what a consultation includes, the deposit and cancellation policy, and whether the stylist works from a studio, a suite or your home.
Is it free to be listed?
Yes. A basic listing is free, and owners can claim and update theirs at any time. Featured and Enhanced listings get more room on the page, and being listed never depends on them.
How do I suggest a salon, barber or spa that is missing?
Use Recommend a business at the bottom of this page. We research every suggestion, and nothing goes live until it has been checked.
