The Salon Professional Academy

In the School's Words

TSPA Altoona is a designated Diamond Academy. We opened at our new location June of 2015 in our state of the art facility.

We participate in our franchise wide Trim Hunger campaign to help fight hunger in our area. Our educators have been trained by Chris Baran to become certified in Principal Based Design Cutting.
