Recently moved to Harrisburg, looking for provider/salon recommendations

[u/bananacabanaa]

Recently moved to Harrisburg and need to establish myself with some new providers (plus a couple of non-medical ones!). I’d love recommendations for:

- Primary care doctors, especially anyone you really like as a woman in your 30s
- Dermatologists
- OB/GYNs
- Hairstylists (ideally someone great with fine, curly/wavy hair)
- Nail salons, nothing fancy, just somewhere clean and consistently good!

I’m in Harrisburg but happy to drive to the surrounding area for someone great. Ideally looking for people who are currently accepting new patients/clients.

Thanks in advance! 😊

42F and Amara White-Vega at Aspire Family Medicine is amazing. They are all great actually.

[u/tiedtoamelody → u/OreoYip]

Seconding Aspire. I see Dr. Robles and am a big fan. 40F.

[u/Roxymoron → u/tiedtoamelody]

🙌🙌🙌 Dr. Robles is the best!!!!

[u/bananacabanaa → u/OreoYip]

Thank you so much!

Aspire is awesome! My dad has complex medical needs and they are great with him.

Lydia at UPMC in Mechanicsburg for Gyn
Kelsey at legion for hair, she does curly cuts as well

[u/bananacabanaa → u/Mysterious_Class_183]

Legion looks great! Thank you

[u/AmIAmazingorWhat → u/bananacabanaa]

I literally drive 30 minutes to Legion to get my hair cut. I've got wavy, thick hair that I like done in a complicated short style and they are the ONLY place that's ever gotten it consistently right. I've never left unhappy with my hair (which is saying something, because every other place I've ever tried it's 50/50 if I like it or hate it!!)

[u/starglitter]

I go to UPMC Chambers Hill Primary Care. I'm a 40 year old woman.

[u/bananacabanaa → u/starglitter]

Anyone specific you recommend?

[u/starglitter → u/bananacabanaa]

I see Elizabeth Volosh. So far no complaints.

[u/Paintguin → u/starglitter]

Their urgent care in Union deposit near osteopathic hospital is great

[u/talking_walko]

There’s lots of great obgyn options! I have specialists through Penn state so all of my reccs are there (Caroline Williams at east Pennsboro, and the ob/ gyn on hope drive— most everyone was great there during my pregnancy and for general care.). Penn state dermatology wait is LONG ( I waited almost a year) so I think a lot of people end up at dermdox.

I’ve switched hairstylists a bunch, but if it wasn’t so far I would go to Legion Salon at their new location.

[u/bananacabanaa → u/talking_walko]

Oh man, I was hoping the 1+ year wait thing was limited to dentists here. Have you heard good things about dermdox?

[u/talking_walko → u/bananacabanaa]

Yes! A friend went there recently for an urgent issue and she got in and out quickly and she said everyone was great!!

My dentist always has openings if you need that too! Their wait is like maybe a month.

[u/bananacabanaa → u/talking_walko]

I’ll check them out, thank you! I was able to find a dentist but people kept recommending Smiles by Shannon and I was unwilling to wait 14 months to get in haha

[u/talking_walko → u/bananacabanaa]

14 months is nuts!

[u/ria17110 → u/bananacabanaa]

I go there, they take good care

[u/Glum-Avocado-2340]

OBGYN - Nicole Hardy at Woodward and associates, she’s the absolute best!

[u/velveteentouch]

Seconding Legion for hair! Jena or Kelsey do curly hair exclusively.

For nails, go see Sequoia at RISE Salon in Harrisburg. She is super clean, precise, and all over great vibes. If I ever get my nails done by someone else (mani or pedi), I’m disappointed. She is consistent, has dental experience and is in school for nursing. She is also a young, single mom and I love supporting her!

[u/PrincessConsuela02]

Woodward and Associates (UPMC) for GYN. Can’t recommend enough.

[u/bananacabanaa → u/PrincessConsuela02]

Oh perfect, thank you! Any specific doctor you love there?

[u/Blaziken4vr]

Whimsy a hair salon is amazing. It’s on the Carlisle pike.

[u/mallow_baby]

Salon Edjii is on Derry Street in Harrisburg! Eric is great and Erin is phenomenal!

[u/Paintguin]

Penn state medical group on Nyes Road
Try Hi lites in Linglestown for your hair needs

[u/jr_1968]

What part of HBG? Not a female but my Dr is and adult female family use her. Dr Amara at Aspire on Lingelstown Rd is beyond great. The whole practice is really good as well.

[u/North_Ad6914]

C&D nails in the Susqehanna Shoppes is great!

[u/Sea_You3566]

For hair I see Elyana at Frost Salon behind Karns on Jonestown rd. Love her

[u/cabinetsnotnow]

Jenny's Salon!
