A friend recommended Randy to handle my case and it was one of my best decisions to date. Randy can handle both state and federal cases with ease as well as complex white collar issues. She is experienced, sharp, accessible, dedicated, has exceptional knowledge of the law and thinks outside the box. My prior attorney preyed upon my vulnerabilities but Randy was the complete opposite. She is honest, compassionate and was committed to getting me the best outcome. She is well respected by her peers and community and worked with the DA to negotiate a dismissal! Apart from being an exceptional lawyer, she is a remarkable individual. Randy is warm, thoughtful and intentional. She has always checked in on me during life's big and small moments. Randy has my highest recommendation and frankly I owe her so much, she is now for me, a lifelong friend.
Tao was so kind to my very nervous cat. She did a great job and gave me some excellent advice to help up keep. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about Bay Area Web Design Wizards. The team designed my company's website from the ground up, including the colour palette, logo, and content on the website. Working with this web design company was a really professional experience.
5 stars is simply not enough! Ever felt lost at sea in the middle of a storm taking on water ? That was my divorce and my boat was 10 feet under water surrounded by sharks. Best day in my divorce was the moment Tong Family Law entered my life. What Suzanne and her team accomplished in such a short time (1 month) was simply incredible during the most difficult time in my life. She is a pro, just gets it and knows how to untangle all the garbage but most importantly executes on what matters. Suzanne was referred to me from my forensic accountant and protected me against a shady firm and not only simplified everything, explained it so that the judge gets it and fights hard for you to resolve matters. In 1 month Suzanne and her firm untangled years of my worst nightmare and I am not only thankful but impressed.
I reached out to Vincent Tong of TONG LAW for his legal expertise in business law. After submitting my inquiry, I scheduled an initial consultation to discuss my business needs with Vincent. Vincent quickly understood my business situation and made various invaluable recommendations. I hired TONG LAW to help me with drafting and revising various services and contractor agreements my business relied on in our day to day operations. As a business owner, it's important to me that I've done as much as I can to protect my business. Vincent did just that for me. He even helped me revise and sharpen my corporate bylaws so that they were tailored to my company's needs specifically. I highly recommend TONG LAW for their business law expertise!
Skilled. Friendly. Great vibe. Would recommend.Services: Hair shape up
Modern Shoe Repair - 40 years at it. Super good - super genial. I wish I had discovered him years ago.
First class design, quick response to plan changes, easy to collaborate with, a pleasure to work with!
Jason was to the point and helpful in the quick phone call we had. He offered a follow up phone call to me and I appreciate his knowledge and expertise. If we (my sisters and I) need to hire a foreclosure lawyer, I would seriously consider his services. Thank you Jason.
Shawna is amazing! From the time I first made contact with her on-line to in-person she was so professional and cheerful. Once Shawna started she kept me informed throughout the process. Shawna is very personable and clearly is very skilled at her craft. I’m a cancer survivor, so having lost my hair and eyebrows twice after chemo treatments my eyebrows grew back very sparse. She made them look so natural and they look fantastic!! I’m extremely happy and will recommend all of my friends and family! Thank you Shawna for making me feel whole again.-Tina AlvarezServices: Microshading
Patrice was amazing!! She is very professional and knowledgeable! I appreciate how she took the time to understand my needs and pain points (No pun intended), and was mindful with addressing them. After my 60 min Integrated Massage, I felt so much lighter and much more relaxed! I really appreciate the way she took her time to fully relieve my tension areas before moving onto the next part. Thank you Patrice!!!
Thank you Citywide— I appreciate not only the fantastic roof—but the professional service and the fact that Citywide really worked with us to help us receive the full measure of their support to not only meet our needs, but to exceed our expectations! Shout out to Rami for your helping us get to the finish line, A+ and 5 star all the way!!!
Love your products, especially the shea butter skin care. Fabulous online service that sets the standard by which others should follow.I'm pleased to support this local business!
Great people, place and style. I get great cuts there, the quality is consistent.Service: Haircut
Daniella is the best. She’s quick and I get tons of compliments after every cut.
Joyce did a great job! We talked about what's best for my hair, and she listened to me, and gave me exactly the cut I wanted! My hair looks great! Thanks, Joyce!
Eli is a master with the scissors. I've loved every haircut he has given me. He has a great sense of how to shape a haircut to fit your facial structure. Sometimes we chat and sometimes I take a little nap while he's blow drying my hair, lol. Either way, he's always professional and always does a great job. The salon is also just a pleasure to be in. So much natural light and fresh air. You can even smell the flower shop downstairs :)
Rebecca is wonderful. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding and it was perfect. I sent a few inspo photos and asked to look like myself, but a little better. The result was lovely natural curls in my hair with lovely hairpins, and a natural, fresh faced almost no-make-up make-up look that lasted all day and night. I think the natural look takes a lot of skill, there's nowhere to hide with that, and Rebecca really excelled. She chose the perfect colors, and was so lovely to work with. Highly recommend.
Nora is the best at color and cut. Been going to her for 5+ years and just love everything she does. She is the sweetest and best hair stylist, I even named my daughter after her
Alex is a lovely person and did a great job cutting my hair. I have long wavy hair and not every stylist can get the layering right. Alex was kind, careful and attentive, asking specific questions about how much I wanted trimmed, and how much layering to add. I also asked her for some product recommendations since my hair can be dry and she gave me some helpful suggestions. This photo is from the next day after my haircut, after a rinse and conditioning to refresh it.
Vee never disappoints. My hair has been healthier than ever since i started going to see Vee for my hair magic appointments In the last year. In the words of my grandmother "tiene buena mano".
I absolutely love Joy Beauty & Eyelash! I'm literally obsessed with my lashes. I've lived in three different cities and Joy Beauty has been my all time favorite place for individual lash extensions. I love natural/classic lash looks and Feven (the owner) nails that look for me every visit. She really listens to what you want and also asks if you're satisfied, which I really appreciate. I love that my friends and family can't even tell that I'm wearing extensions! Also, Feven is so sweet and delightful to be around - I highly recommend her business!Service: Eyelash extensions
Trenell is awesome! Very knowledgableand I felt like my hair was safe with her. She took care of it and made it look wonderful. She’s also very friendly and has great energy!!
Hannah did an amazing job with my hair! She was super knowledgeable about which style would look best with my hair type. She also gave me great tips on styling bangs and curly/wavy hair. So thankful and would highly recommend.
Dwight is amazing. My hair look great for months after a visit! Also just fun to talk to as well.
I treated my wife to a fancy pants haircut at Suzanne's salon for her birthday. The sexiest thing about my wife is her frugality and because of that she's been cutting her own hair in the bathroom for the past several years. In appreciation for her money saving ways I wanted to pull out all the stops and treat her to an amazing haircut from a pro. When my wife came home from Suzanne salon, she was looking hotter than ever. Suzanne's haircut changed my wife's entire look and I felt like I was dating a new woman. Thanks Suzanne!
Madrid was absolutely amazing. I went to him based on my original hairstylists referral since she was out of town and he was fantastic. Very communicative, did a great job on my hair/took his time, and educated me on how to keep it healthy - all while needing to leave to travel later that day. Thank you Madrid!Services: Hair straightening
I really appreciate the time and care Theresa took to cut my hair. It was a complete style change for me and I’m really happy with the results. I’ve had a lot of compliments about my new style. A lovely space as well. I’ll definitely be back.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Nasir for about 10 years. Supreme Blends is one of the top rated barbershops in the Bay. Nasir is genuine and a great barber!
Nick styled the hair for all the groomsmen before my brother in laws' wedding. He gave me a great cut and even did my son's. He was clean and professional. Amazing job. Highly recommended for any event!
Check out their website it's got all the information you'll need, and if you're not sure, ask questions. In terms of vibe, it's got a modern retro style to it on the inside. Vintage barbershop theme with a goth/punk twist.
Very professional business oriented young man that cares about the community he lives and works in. I love his work and will continue to patronize his business.
Best bar shop. Since I first started going there to get my hair cut there in the late 60's. (The owner knows me well). I am a retired U. S. Marine +++.
Hands down the best haircut I had in ages! Anthony is super professional, works with precision and he is not rushing your haircut. The shampooing and conditioning at the end is a huge plus. Lastly, Anthony is very knowledgeable int he matters of curly and wavy hair, so great tips on how to keep my hair well maintained.Services: Shampoo & conditioning
(Translated by Google) Good service good price!(Original)Buen servicio buen precio !
Great price for the quality and care they put into your cut. Never have been disappointed with any of the three barbers here.
I'm not at all surprised this place has nothing but 5-star reviews, and I am happy to be among them! The space is clean and welcoming and everyone I've interacted with has been nothing but friendly and kind. This review really is for Sonia though, who is, I believe, a hair-cutting genius. I used to dread getting a hair cut because it seemed like my preferences were not actually listened to or if I brought in a reference photo it was seen as merely "inspiration" and not a source for replication. Sonia is able to execute exactly what you ask for, a precision which I can only attribute to a kind of perfect clarity of both mental and literal vision. The first time I came in she cut my hair identically to the photo I showed her. The second time, even more impressively, Sonia gave me the hair cut I was only imagining in my head! I will probably never go to anyone else again.
I went to this shop to ask for a haircut. Surprisingly, the owner was very accommodating and communicative towards me. Besides, the barber assigned to handle my haircut was very talented, skillful, and already well-trained. He honestly did a great job for my hair that made me look handsome and clean. Eventually, others must visit this shop because the place, barbers, and way of doing haircut was excellent. Till next time!
Professional clean and nice good quality cuts on time for appointments and all the hairstyles respectful and cool and daughter love get her hair done thereService: Haircut
Amazing. Took my 80 year old father here for a shave. He was treated so kind and with patience. He loved his shave and he's looks great. My dad's only complaint was about his sideburns, but I'm going to chalk that up to him being 80 and felt it necessary to fuss about something. Caught him looking at himself in the mirror and admiring his smooth face. I'll keep taking him back here whenever he's in need of a little self care. Thx!!
Let me begin with the familiar atmosphere mr beenieman creates. Safe and comfortable space. I have personally been coming to him for over 15 years and now my son too comes to get his haircut with beenie. Professional and goes above and beyond for his clients. On almost every visit we have conversations about life, sports, etc... ive seen literally generations of men get cut by this man from a grandfather down to the baby. He does well in the community and creates his oakland culture there. I applaud you beenie. Keep up all the good and hard work brother!!!
Juice brought me back from a 5 week wolfer. most crispiest line i ever had in my life, with the super taper to finish me off. Yall better hurry up and book ASAP!
I have been getting my haircut here for 2 years and I love my haircut every time. Great service and great haircuts. Highly recommend.
Vanessa is the best! She always strives for excellence and is so talented. Plus I’ve never had my nails last so long!
This is the best nail salon in Oakland. I have been on the search for a place like this for 5 years. Stop by and experience the great customer service skills, kindness, superior quality, technique, and relaxation.Services: Hand & foot massages
This is my new go-to nail salon in Piedmont. They do a great job and are very welcoming and friendly.
Tam gives the best gel manicure. Consistently perfect shape and length. The paint job has only chipped once, and that was after 3 weeks. Cuticles are never overdone. Great gel color variety. Salon is very clean.Services: Polish removal
Everyone was so kind, and you could tell everybody in the chair was having a relaxed and enjoyable time. Clean, great selection of colors, just overall a great experienceService: Manicure

She has an incredible skill set and all the coolest colors and supplies- glow in the dark, matte, jewels and super unique designs. Pink is my go to girl and I am so lucky I found her!
Really careful and excellent service - take their time to apply well. My gel has stayed perfect for more than two weeksService: Gel manicures
Wonderful person and skilled artist. Beautiful studio with interesting plants everywhere. Always does great work and people are always amazed with how my nails look and the level of detail.
I’ve gotten 3 or so gel pedicures here thus far and have been very happy with my services. The pricing is clearly posted, they obviously are used to doing a lot of customized looks and they also do the basics well. Metal tools are autoclaved and they clearly take sanitation appropriately seriously. I usually call for an appointment same day and so far they’ve always been able to accommodate me.
The salon is clean and is pleasing to the eye. The staff members take the time to understand your preferences and tailor the service accordingly. Fantastic job and good service. Finally found a place to get my nails done again. I recommend Divine Nails 100% I got a fancier set than normal and the prices are always reasonable.
I’m pretty sure they saved my entire foot. I had broken my big toe nail and it was growing back terribly. They dug in there cleaned me up and I’ve been with out tenderness and w the cutest little piggies. THANK YOU SO MUCH.Services: Foot massages
They do great work! Hadn't been in a while and my feet were in bad shape but they look and feel so much better now they are patient and skilled - would give them 10 stars.(I feel bad I have to go back and tip the eyebrow lady - needed more cash gave it all for my feet)
I had a color "accident" -- bright pink totally inappropriate for my age or my upcoming work trip Back East. Went to Mia in distress for a corrective color consult. Her advice was to wait for it to fade. It did! She clearly knows her stuff, how hair reacts, different types of hair and dye... In the end, I didn't need corrective color. Mia steered me right, and earned my respect and appreciation for her skills and ethics. I'd go back in a heartbeat. But I think I'll stay away from hair color for a while. :)
She works miracles when it comes to hair I love it clean environment affordable and quick ❤️I recommend her 100%
Naomi is the best! I've been seeing her regularly for over a year now for hair cuts, styling, color, etc. She's so talented and incredibly kind and she really takes the time to get to know her clients - every time I return (even if it's 6 months later), she remembers to ask about a trip I went on or a life event she remembered was coming up for me. She really invests in her clients. I highly recommend her!Edit January 2024: Naomi is amazing! I have been going to her for hair cuts/color/styling for several years now, and I love her so much I hired for her my wedding to do my hair and make-up, my mom's, my mother in law, and all 8 of my bridesmaids. She did a hair and make-up trial for both me and my mom prior to the wedding and she made it such a fun day - she's SO easy to five feedback to and has such a talent for making your vision come true, she really listens to what you want and what you care about. Come wedding day, she brought 3 of her incredibly talented fellow hair and make-up artists to work with everyone and they did a phenomenal job. Everyone looked beautiful and most importantly - still looked like themselves. Naomi was easy to work with, incredibly fair with pricing, and was a big factor in making my wedding day as amazing as it was. I also have to note - our wedding day came with a POURING rain storm - my hair and make-up didn't BUDGE. I was shocked, she did such a great job! Thank you!!Services: Haircut
OBSESSED with my new brows! I booked with Jessica for powder brows. I’ve never gotten my brows done before, so I was nervous for how they’d come out, but I’m so glad I trusted Jessica! As you can see in my before photo, I had very sparse brows with uneven shaping, but now my brows are perfect! Jessica really takes her time when mapping out your new brows to enhance your features and fulfill your brow needs. I highly recommend booking w her! :)
Great nook - found her through urban day spa and had to come visit Kat here! She’s been really helpful with her facials
Mark is an amazing hair stylist/barber. I love the work he does, he’s very efficient and it always looks great. Worth calling and giving it a try, I can’t recommend more!!
Love this place! Very clean and I really love my haircut better than the one that I pay twice for.
I am so happy to have foundMs. Sonya! We "met" over the phone and I felt a sense of connection and The following Day at my appointment - I felt like I've known Ms. Sonya for all my life. She asked me what type of cut I wanted - and as usual I showed her photos. I also expressed how I wanted the "bump" in the back for volume. She understood exactly because the end result was PERFECT! I left her salon feeling so confident and pretty . I am highly recommending Ms. Sonya and give her 5 stars for her service! I believe this is a great start of a great relationship . I will provide photos soon!
Kay will take care of you. You show him what you want on a photo. He will make it happen. Never fail.
Diane is amazing! She really knows how to work a very thick and curly hair as mine! I went in traumatized from a previous hair experience somewhere else and she was just so kind and she really took her time with me. She really heard all my concerns and was so respectful of all my wishes and I left there finally loving my hair again!
Elvia is FANTASTIC!! She did my hair very pretty! I actually went there for get the hair straightening but she looked my hair and been super honest! My hair is shiny and also already straight just some on my bangs little wavy. So she recommended just get some haircut then that will make it look nicer! But I wanted to get lil more changes so I decide also get some highlights too. Even choosing color she really knows hair SO Well!! So I just leave it up to her and the results are Fantastic!! And I really appreciate her not all about the money. She is super honest and super professional and even taught me how to style my hair. Anyways it is so long review but Because it was pretty impressive this place is. They even so cautious with COVID too so how they schedule for clients I personally very appreciate it.

Lucky really cares about how your hairstyle will look and last with your hairtype? extremelyknowledgeable and talented!!Sad that I'm moving and will have to find another stylist ??
Trusting someone with your face is like trusting them with your identity. I had an amazing experience with Feliz. I never thought one little visit could bring such dramatic results. I have my confidence back! Go see her. You will not be disappointed!
I haven't had a lot of experience with facials, but found myself needing some expert skin care so I contacted Charlotte. She was responsive to my request for an appointment and asked questions to get a sense of my skin care needs, including allergies. The studio is a relaxing, pleasant environment and Charlotte was friendly, professional and obviously has a lot of knowledge about what she does. I appreciated that she told me in advance about what she was about to do and how it would feel. Charlotte has a gentle touch, and even though my face was a little pink afterwards as can be expected, my skin was very happy and much improved by the next day. I will definitely be a repeat customer!
Best Service in the Bay Area! Maisha is the best! You won't be disappointed
I've been going to Le Visage Facial Spa for several years now. The establishment is clean, organized and the owner is friendly and professional. My experience each time I've gone has been positive. That's why I continue to return. I'd highly recommend Le Visage for all of your skin care needs.
Presley saved my skin!After a year of searching for products that would soothe my acne and eliminate hyperpigmentation, I finally found my solution. I was experiencing frequent breakouts that left unattractive marks on my face, and I was so sick of it! It messed with my confidence and made me feel like I HAD to wear makeup on a daily basis. I'm a single woman, so this really put a damper in my dating life.When I went to Presley for a facial, she took such good care of me. From the moment I walked into her suite, I was greeted so kindly by Presley. Her shop is SO clean and beautiful, and I absolutely love the privacy. Presley gave me a deep clean and a light peel, and I even purchased a cleanser from her. One week later, my skin had no breakouts and was soooo clear and supple. I haven't worn makeup since!I couldn't wait to go back and see her for my next treatment because of how well my results were! Just one week, and I was already seeing so much improvement.I highly recommend allowing Presley to treat and pamper your skin. She is a wonderful technician who will absolutely take care of you and make you feel like a million bucks!
Kim is the best. I had dry patchy skin. Her products and services helped so much. Highly recommend.
Sabrina is quite simply the best!!! I have been seeing her for a couple of years in Oakland and have never had a better aesthetician. She's super talented--I came in last week with huge, cystic breakouts and she completely calmed them down to the point where they're almost gone now--and she really invests in the best skincare and tools to make you glow. Also, she's just such a fun hang! Do yourself a favor and book an appointment!
I got referred by a friend to see Kamilah and it was the best decision I made. She is so attuned with your body and knows how to adjust to injuries and other ailments. The massage was exceptional and spot on. I won't be going anywhere else.
Esther is the bomb -- years and years of knowledge about skin care and she puts you at ease!
Nancy is so knowledgeable, an incredibly talented esthetician, and her office is clean and relaxing. I refer everyone I know to her. I can't recommend her enough!
Exceptional customer service! Jacqui is knowledgeable in her field and will take time to explain the procedures she performs and the benefits of them. I will definitely be back!
Love your products, especially the shea butter skin care. Fabulous online service that sets the standard by which others should follow.I'm pleased to support this local business!
Shelly is such an amazing person and you will absolutely love getting facials from her. She is extremely popular, so make sure you book your appointment well in advance!
Arlene and Acne Specalists of Oakland has changed my life. I first came 1.5 years ago when my skin and confidence were at an all time low. After being consistent with my skincare, my skin has never looked better! It truly has changed my life, and im extraordinarily thankful for Arlene! knew from my first session I had finally found someone who would listen and help educate me on proper skincare. She has helped me discover my inner glow and guided me through a skincare routine that suited my specific needs. Arlene is also the sweetest person! Her positive energy contributes to the overall experience, and she makes each visit a delightful and uplifting experience. Arlene has helped transform my skin and has been a catalyst for a positive transformation in my life. I wholeheartedly recommend Arlene and Acne Specialists of Oakland to anyone seeking skincare solutions!!
Isabelle is a wonderful waxer. She takes her time to ensure every hair is removed. Her space is relaxing, comfortable and in a great location.
Loved my experience at The Yoni Temple. This was my first Brazilian. Jess gave 5-star service. She talked through all my questions, was super gentle and communicative. She asked me interesting questions during the entire session, keeping my mind busy and unfocused on any mild discomfort. My skin has no irritation and the shape is perfect. I highly recommend The Yoni Temple and Jess!
Everyone at Bleu Honey is great, and their services are fantastic. I’ve had brow waxing and tinting, bikini sugar and wax, and a spray tan. I’ve been happy every time.
Sarah is the absolute BEST! I feel so confident going into my wedding day with these flawless brows ✨
Holly is fantastic. Her waxes are always fast, clean, and detailed, and she’s a joy to chat with.
When I say she's the best hands down!! I truly love this woman work!! I have followed her for 10 years at every wax spot she's has worked at. It's hard to find someone who is genuine and makes you feel comfortable, while making your wax experience painless yet enjoyable from the all the great conversations. With Desiree I can honestly say I relax, restore and rejuvenate every time. Did I mention she's great at facials too ( this is coming from someone who doesn't let anyone do facials). Book Desiree now I promise you won't regret it ??Service: Brazilian waxing
The best eyebrow wax I’ve ever had. Kaitlin fixed my asymmetry and explained everything she did along the way as well as the mistakes my prior waxers had made.
Thank you for a wonderful first time at EWC. Rosemary is very skilled and sweet. She put me at ease from beginning to end and really made sure I was satisfied with the services provided. I almost felt no pain and she was very quick and efficient.
Great atmosphere! Beautiful lashes and professional service, highly recommended
So sweet, took me in as a walk- in, and did a great job! will be back <3
It was my first time going and was very happy with the results! Brows look clean!
Marlene gave me a great hair cut today. I have mixture 3b/3c curly hair! The shape was nice and she’s so fun to talk to
Rasheedah is amazing! Efficient and minimal pain compared to other sugaring places I’ve been. I love that she makes her own products too!
I have been coming here for many years as it is down the street from me. I started out with a massage series, which is their packages of 10 if you are committed, and want a cheaper price upfront.Then I would come for my hair services once my friend, who did my hair styling moved out of town. They did a good job, but I was not into sitting there for so long, so I stopped going for that service!Now I am back with another massage, serious, much needed with all of that tension. You build up day by day! The massage rooms are small, but clean and welcoming. There are restrooms both upstairs and downstairs. Some masseuses are better than others so hopefully you can find one that you like and they will stick around. Like most places masseuse turnaround is very high. You can even read profile bios of the masseuses on their website.There is a variety of items you can buy at the front desk area and they have a bench now to sit while you wait for your service.I am also on the email list, so I get announcements of new events.The downside of the massage series is that you have to call in or go in person to buy it and can’t do it online. I like doing everything online and I don’t understand why they don’t have that option for this! Luckily, you can make your appointments online.Emailing the front desk is a hit or miss. Some people reply right away and some miss your email and won’t reply for many days.
My teen had a great experience with service by Cayla... had a great custom facial. We are definitely going back for more services.
My husband and I typically go for colon hydrotherapy - it's the BEST. My only complaint is I can't get there as often as I'd like! Svetlana is very knowledgeable about the gut and has always been helpful with information. I've probably been there at least 6 or 7 times now. I have yet to try their facials but I'm looking forward to trying them!
Choices- choices! So good authentic Salvadoran and Mexican food! A must try!
The owner and I always have amazing conversation. Very knowledgeable in black skin care. Professional and very clean.
Always love coming here for a quick and relaxing experience. Reservations are preferred but pretty easy to get same day.
Just got a massage there can't complain good service... Had this Asian girl just walk all over my back and it felt good
The best selection and price for professional eyelash extensions and permanent makeup products.
My wife Diann took me to LE Soleil six years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. I like that they’re completely organic so you don’t experience that chemical smell at other nail shops . I’d like to give a shout out to Natalie , Tina , Cindy and especially Mai she’s the best in the Bay Area!
Vicky is an awesome masseuse. She gives deep tissue massages which have helped with my shoulder recovery significantly. Highly recommend this affordably priced place.
Always a pleasure getting a mani-pedi at Simply Green Day Spa. Lawrence and his team are wonderful. Thank you!
I loved my micro current facial by Michelle. It was very relaxing and I can see the results two weeks later. Will definitely be back again.
The BEST massage I’ve ever had! The people are so kind. The outside can be misleading but the inside is pretty and safe. I will be going back!
Tamra did makeup for my headshots, which were long overdue. I was very nervous going into it since I do not wear alot of makeup and I am generally camera shy. She asked for inspo images on what look I wanted to achieve and she nailed it on the day of. When I got home after the photoshoot, my partner's jaw dropped to the floor and I just recently got a glimpse of the unedited images from the shoot and my partner didn't even know it was me when I showed him the images! It is a bit difficult to find someone who has experience in working with different skin tones so I am so happy I found Tamra. Not only is she an expert in her craft but she is also wanting her client to be happy with the results. Tamra should be a part of everyone's glam squad!
I have followed Missy across three locations and been a client for more than 10 years because she is like no one else, especially in this industry. In addition to her incomparable skills as an esthetician, and commitment to continue learning and bringing her clients better and better treatments, her energy and space ooze passion for her work, deep care for her clients and true acceptance for anyone who walks through her door. She has rooted for me through many (skin and non-skin related) events and continues to support and coach through anything I am dealing with. I would travel anywhere to see her - how lucky am I that her gorgeous studio is in my hometown.
Had a great experience. Super clean. Kuya / Tristan was wonderful as a tattoo artist. Super happy & will be back.
Came here as a walk-in with my friend and they welcomed us both in right away! Great flash to choose from, great vibes from everyone in the place, and a really clean, cool looking shop. Billy gave me a great tattoo and I will be back for suuuure. Go here✌️
Amy and her team are great. I've had my last 4 pieces done there and each one has been terrific. The energy and atmosphere in the studio are great, and they're modern and dialed in with scheduling and payment. Appreciate that I came across Pretty In Ink a few years ago!!! Thank you Amy!!!
Amazing personal attention and commitment to creating exactly what you want with an artistic perception
Omggggg less start off with the person himself RD!! HE HAS AN AMAZING BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT WHO KNOWS HOW TO DO AMAZING WORK, REASONABLE PRICES AND ALL AROUND GOOD PPL, A MUST BOOK FOR A TATT IF IN THE AREA. EAST OAKLAND BAY AREAAAA
Had such a wonderful experience at Studio Noir! Got tattooed by Laine who is fantastic: kind, creative, talented, incredibly patient, and great company. Plus I ADORE the tattoo. Photo is two weeks healed. Highly recommend!Services: Female tattoos
Great shop! Lots of amazing flash on the walls. The experience was smooth and very professional from start to finish. From small pieces to large pieces you cant go wrong with any of the artists at FTW.
Got a tribute tattoo this week done by Pavel. It’s my new favorite tattoo I have gotten, everyone at the shop was super down to earth and you felt welcomed which isn’t always the case in tattoo shops. It’s clean and is a nice little shop. I will definitely be back for my next tattoo!
Doug is a Town Legend. His services are always Fast and Reasonable and done to PERFECTION. Doug is super friendly and pleasant to be around. If you're interested in getting ur next Tattoo or you're first Hit up Doug, and Thank me later.
I had an amazing experience with Cosmikali who put so much care into the design process. She offered her personal expertise to craft a beautiful Berber tattoo that means a lot to me. She was thoughtful, intuitive and communicative about the process of designing all the way through the actual tattoo. Im so grateful and will return.
Was able to get a same day appointment. The staff were friendly and very helpful with getting everything set up.
Ok. I've had time to reflect on this and I left a $300 tip on a $400 tattoo assuming I would also be investing into the most basic of design into my following tattoo. No response to emails and they expected to free style an intricate followup tattoo. I suppose once you are considered a client, they put minimal effort into design. If you are looking for someone simple and have an immense amount of trust, then this place is for you. But, this isn't standard practice and while I love my first tattoo, I went elsewhere for future ones.
Everyone is super nice. Gustavo did an awesome job on my husbands boxing gloves tattoo.
I've had the chance to work with Hannah 3 times now and each time I'm blown away even more by her artistry. She's super professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to all details throughout the process. Her hand is gentle which helps make sessions feel super easy to sit through. She also does a great job providing thorough aftercare details and recommendations, and she's quick to respond with additional tips/recommendations if any issues come up during healing process. The shop itself is impeccably clean, the decor is amazing, and stations are pretty spaced out so it doesn't feel at all cramped. Hannah is a true master of her craft, I recommend her to anyone looking to get amazing, quality work. She's also hilarious so I definitely recommend sharing stories while you're in her chair. I definitely look forward to working with her again in the future.
I love this place. The vibe is great, the people are nice, and Wolf did an absolutely amazing job on my tattoo. I am definitely coming back here for my next tattoo.
Our technician Aaron Stallworth went over and beyond the call of duty to make sure everything was cleared out and working properly. He returned later to make sure we had what we needed to keep roots from returning. Thank you for his outstanding customer service! Thank you Aaron we really appreciated your help and enjoyed meeting you!
One of the best, friendliest, kindest company’s I have had experience with. Great and clear communication and great attitude. Highly recommend!!
Had a few hiccups with the scheduling, but the work was top notch. The crew went above and beyond. Instead if digging up the brick and replacing it with concrete, they sawed the mortar and put it all back together when done. When they were done I couldn't even tell someone had dug up my whole yard an hour before.
Alex Ferguson came over to help clear a blockage in our drain line. Gave us lots of options and was very nice.
I needed an emergency water heater repair. Called them and they came out within 6 hours to fix it. Very thankful for their promptness and very happy with their service. Will recommend them to others!
My bathtub/shower faucet decided to break late Friday afternoon before a long weekend (of course). The water was gushing out of the faucet and could not be turned off!! I called a few places recommended by friends and none could come out until the following Tuesday - yikes so much wasted water! Then on Sunday I decided to search yelp and found these amazing plumbers. I called on Sunday afternoon, and Ygnacio, the owner, answered immediately. After explaining my problem and doing a quick analysis over FaceTime, he confirmed he could send someone out to turn the water off, and then within an hour Alberto came to the rescue! Working with some challenging peculiarities of my situation, he quickly assessed and got the water off. So within maybe 2 hours of finding Oakland Rooter on yelp, on a Sunday, my issue was dealt with - and at an affordable price. No weekend overtime!Additionally, Alberto was very respectful of my health (high risk for COVID) and property - he wore a mask at my request and shoe covers which I was so grateful for.Honestly, these guys are awesome! Thanks Albeto and Ygnacio!
Natalie was timely, professional and had a great attitude. Fixed my emergency quickly. I strongly recommend using her service.
Needed a sewer lateral replacement and got a great quote that was significantly lower than others I got. There was a one star review here that said their response time was slow and not confidence-inspiring. While I did feel that way at first, (I was about to go with another company before he messaged me after some time) the way he took care of everything from the replacement to the certificate made up for it.
I called once...my call was returned in less than 30 minutes. The questions I had were answered positively....Thanks
For anyone facing a daunting quote for their sewer lateral replacement, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to your neighborhood heroes at Precision Sewers. My recent encounter with them was nothing short of remarkable; they managed to slash the initial estimate in half and proceeded to execute the project with exceptional finesse. Notably, their competitor's proposal failed to encompass a crucial aspect: obtaining the indispensable city certificate imperative for property sale transactions.Patric, the distinguished head of this reputable establishment, stands as a paragon of expertise, forthrightness, and effective communication. His guidance was instrumental throughout the process. The team, characterized by their consummate professionalism, executed the task to perfection. It is without reservation that I bestow upon them a well-deserved 5-star rating. Should excellence and value be your quest, Precision Sewers unequivocally delivers.Bahman Ahmadi
Oh wow, as a (landscape) contractor myself, I can honestly say that I was SO impressed. Quick, reasonably priced, convenient, polite, valued customer service. Just a flawless 10/10, to be honest. Now I know who to call when I need to subcontract a plumber!
I needed help connecting a portable washing machine to my sink. I called a few plumbers, and of the few I called, Sal was the down to earth and approachable. He was also very honest and up front. He worked with me to see if it was a job he could take, and while he ultimately didn't, the experience was excellent and I would highly recommend working with him.
Mallard has been doing work for us for 20+ years. We just had them clean our ejection pump and fix 2 dripping faucets. Roberto and a helper showed up on time, put on their shoe covers, completed the work quickly and without making a mess, and were friendly and helpful. $350 well spent.
Cindy was the best! What doesn't she know!? Time before last she even sent me to a competitor because they didn't have the peace in stock. Who does that? Cody, the other guy, is just as helpful.... Next time I'll just wait for the part to come in. My new go to Supply house!
Harry Clark did a major install in my 1928 house in Oakland, which had no existing central heating and so required not only a new electric heat pump unit on the roof and an air handler and humidifier in the basement but new ducting to and registers in nearly every room. Their work was excellent and the price reasonable and they were resourceful in overcoming hurdles presented by the building and responsive to any troubleshooting needed during and afterward. I highly recommend them.Service: Heating equipment repair & installation
Pete and Christian has been wonderful to work with. Our situation was a bit complex and required multiple coordination with different parties. It wasn't a typical install job, but Pete and Christian walked us through the stages every step of the way. They provided us with a detail visual of what's to take place and the bids were on time and accurate. Very responsive and professional. Diligent and meticulous in how they plan out the work and made the entire process hassle-free for us as we worked remotely with them due to our busy schedules.Service: Panel replacement or upgrade
Sugi did all of the electrical work when we remodeled our house, including upgrading our panel and installing an EV charger. He and his team are great - careful, good communicators, detail oriented, knowledgeable and responsive. When a bad appliance shorted out my entire kitchen while I was prepping for Thanksgiving, he rescued me and my dinner by making room in his schedule to replace fuses and check to make sure everything was working properly. Seriously the best.
Chris was very knowledgeable and was able to help me over the phone so he didn't even have to come to my property. If you want an electrician you can trust, call Chris!
Darius is the best. He's done small jobs and most recently rewired our home. Excellent in every way.Services: Ground wire installation
Ruben gave me excellent and superior service. He and his crew were both proficient and very professional. I am definitely recommending to my family and friends.Services: Light fixture installation
I highly recommend Miramontes Electric.I manage a 7-unit apartment building in Alameda, CA. Due to CA regulations, each fuse box in each unit needed to be moved from inside the closets which was not in plain view.Each panel in each apartment (7 units plus the Laundry Room) needed to be moved to a visible place in each unit in compliance with the CA apartment code.Miramontes Electric constructed a great plan, very timely, very reasonable, and at a fair cost. In addition, everything went very smoothly as we arranged a time for each unit to accommodate what worked for each tenant. No problems occurred at all. Each unit was planned for a full day, deadlines were met perfectly.The owner (Eduardo Miramontes) was fantastic to work with. Fair, honest, accurate, and certainly knew exactly what to do with great suggestions when needed.I will most definitely use their service for all electrical needs whenever needed. Excellent experience and I learned a lot about the electrical process.
Quality work for a fair priceI called, talked to a real person, three hours later a competent and friendly electrician showed up, and less than an our later our problem was solved. There was probably some luck involved in having someone available that quickly, but the professionalism and quality of work was very impressive.About costs:- They are not inexpensive.- For the quality of work pricing is fair.- I got three quotes that were higher by a factor of 2.5.Would I consider them again? In a heartbeat – I would not even look for someone else.
We just used Power + Light to modernize our electrical system and some other electric projects and we highly recommend them.We bought our home in Dec and Mike came out the Sat before Xmas to give us an estimate, which was very reasonable. It was also easy scheduling the work for the beginning of Jan.Jason came out and updated our wiring, which had been going into an old fuse box in a tight corner of a closet. He also installed an EV power station and confirmed the safety of the wiring in our attic (so we can get it insulated), as per our original plan. He was also able to work with us for some on the fly projects to add/move some outlets and install a garage door panel.It was always easy working with Mike and Jason. We always felt like we knew what was going on and there were no surprises. It was also a reasonable price. I highly recommend Power + Light and intend to use them for all our electric needs.
An electrician who really knows his trade, he fixed a chandelier and its switch in no time.
Ok - I have no words for that first review. I have used Dave multiple times in my home because he is literally the only electrician I now trust. He's honest, fair, quick, diligent and works hard. He does the job right or he won't do it at all. No corners are cut. That's why I like him so much. I can get cheaper but I can't get better. He's about his business for real. I have never felt disrespected by and he has never ever been nasty. Not sure what happened at that store, but I can assure you, if you're looking for a well qualified electrician who is an EXPERT in his field, call Dave and use Blue Line.
Oscar did a great job installing our EV charger! He was punctual, friendly and communicated with us every step of the way. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Boyes Electric again!
Dennis Lopez was very polite and professional. He diagnosed my electrical problem and he was able to repair it right away. I would definitely recommend this company if Dennis is your electrician.
Jeffrey did a great job to help me with mailbox lockout. Professional, punctual and competitve price
Daniel is the man! A true master of his craft. Excellent customer service and quick results. I have been a client of Daniel for years and I will continue to use his service whenever needed. Thanks Daniel!
What a great spot!! I needed a lock re-keyed on a weekend. Quach was the only brick and mortar place open and WAY more reasonable prices than any of the mobile services.Quach herself was there to help; really friendly, gave us some good tips. They don’t make mom and pop businesses like this anymore, this is a gem.
I called first to see if they had what I was looking for. They were very polite and helpful over the phone. The location was easy to find and had easy parking. They even had a few option of what I was looking for. The prices were reasonable. They were just as polite, helpful and very fast to get me in and out.
OMG! I don’t know what would of happened if Devin didn’t come to our rescue!My coworkers car keys got stolen in Oakland :-(! In one of my projects I felt horrible for him! We always take care of our employees!I soon as I heard this I reached out to a couple lock smith the first one responded really quick and never sent a technician!!! We wasted more than half of day waiting for them!At around noon I found two wheeled locksmith!! Devin didn’t answer my call but texted me right away! I was a bit sketchy at first due to my experience with the first locksmith that I reached to! I constantly kept texting Devin even tho he confirmed multiple times he was going to go help us, I couldn’t help feeling anxious. I even called him but Devin was so patience with me he understood my worry! For the 500th time (lol) he reassure me he was going to go to the site in 20mins and 20mins later my coworker confirmed Devin had arrived!!!Devin ended up replacing the ignition free of charge and took my guy to the store with him to Keep him safe (it was dark already) Devin grow up in that area and was concerned for my guy standing in the street on his own! My heart fills up with happiness thinking of everything Devin did to keep my guy safe!Devin worked until 8pm just to make sure my coworker got home safe!I can’t thank Devin enough for going the extra mile!! This is putting your heart into a business!!! I’ll definitely be recommending his services to everyone I know!!
Hector and Edgar came by my apartment today to clean the carpet and my living room rug and they were both absolutely amazing! They were professional, on time and left my carpets spotless. I will be recommending them to anyone I know that’s looking for carpet cleaning. I am so grateful I chose to go with Botellos and I’m sure you’ll be grateful if you choose to go with them as well!
Book now ! Don’t wait , 10 stars !! Referring them to everyone I know ! Donte was amazing and super professional! Thank you donte !
Getting two area rugs cleaned here was a breeze… quick pick up, quick return! Thanks!Service: Area rug cleaning
Outstanding, I would highly recommend this company. I got my mattress and 2bd rooms cleaned. My mattress literally looks brand new I’m so pleased thank you. Would book again!
Martin did an excellent job cleaning some pretty dirty carpets for us and for literally half of what Stanley Steemer wanted. I cannot recommend them enough! I will definitely be calling them again. They also clean furniture and tile.
Receptionist was so professional , Amazing same day service ! Donte was super professional and kind, we really appreciate him coming out to get us taken care of ! Carpets look and smell great !
Fantastic and friendly service. I love how detailed they are. They definitely clean my apartment better than I have. I have a great sense of relief when they are done. Can not recommend enough.Service: Standard cleaning
I was very pleased with the cleaning services provided. I needed a move-out cleaning and they did such a great job it was like when I had just moved in. The cleaners showed up at the scheduled time and communicated great ahead of time. Would recommend to others looking for a good, affordable cleaning service in the Bay.
Super satisfied and appreciative of the service! The place was pretty bad as I'm having a high risk pregnancy and can no longer clean our place the way it needs to be. We have 3 cats too in this tiny place and it was stressing me out to have to wait until the baby comes and then bring her into a super dirty home. The team was so fast, efficient and thorough. I think the apartment is seriously cleaner than when we purchased it. I cannot thank them enough and will definitely be relying on Berry's again.
This was my first time using BA House Cleaning and I would definitely recommend them! Jen was fantastic!! She arrived on time, was super friendly, and even my dog liked her. She did a great job cleaning our bathrooms. And she made sure we were happy with the cleanings after she was done. I will definitely use Jen’s services again!
We have been using their services for a biweekly cleaning since May of this year and we are continually impressed. A team of two comes in and they work quickly and efficiently. They will provide a list of the areas they will clean and you can ask for additional services if needed. They are always responsive to feedback and go above and beyond to make sure your house feels like a home. They have even organized some of the items on countertops for me when I wasn't able to do a proper pickup. They seem to really care about their customers and take care of much more detail than I have seen from other services. 10/10 highly recommended.
Thank you Dan for your attention to detail and for all your expertise with our clients projects. You have been wonderful to work with and I look forward to collaborating on many more projects in the future!
They added hardwood flooring to our family room. They did an excellent job including removing the old linoleum. They also refinished the hardwood floor in our living room. They were less expensive than the alternative bids. I highly recommend them.
Really appreciate Quality Flooring's help with a remodel. I had other quotes that were much more expensive and a flooring expert that told me that the floors were too far gone and needed to be ripped and replaced. Check out the before and after for the floors, I'll post some pictures. Pretty incredible.
From start to finish, we are very happy with the results. Michael was very knowledgeable in helping us select the carpet and padding that fit our budget and preferences. The installers were on time, professional and did an amazing job. I highly recommend!
Love this place! Got my carpet from here multiple times and it always looks great and lasts forever!! Amazing staff as well, super knowledgeable and very professional. Would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone.
This review is long overdue, we had our floors refinished in November by Amber Flooring. They did an amazing job from start to finish. Communication was great, and our floors are now BEAUTIFUL. Jesus Aguayo was the person who worked on our floors, if I knew how they would have turned out I would have done it much sooner. He is a master of his craft. Communication was great and all of the people were kind. Thank you Amber Flooring and Jesus Aguayo!
I just completed a major condo renovation with A2Z Remodeling Inc. Project manager Meir Bar was a delight to work with and expertly guided the process from initial contact to final sign-off. Meir handled it all, from securing city permits to guiding design choices to running interference with suppliers, workmen and condo management. Meir's team of craftsmen were equally respectful and diligent. Meir always returns calls promptly and offers straightforward solutions to the inevitable challenges that arise. The project proceeded on schedule with no delays and there were no time or change orders. The end result was a great value, a great place to live and a great experience.
Nemanja came and helped with my electrical issues at my apartment and I had a great experience. He was very personable and experienced, and he got every done and checked out in a jiffy! Would definitely recommend this company.
Great service for a great value. I coordinated for my aunt who lives in San Francisco and needed new insulation and air ducts in her old Victorian home. Rami and his office communicated with me the entire way through. They were very patient with my aunt and careful to clean up after themselves. The attic looks great (from the pictures they sent). We are very pleased and would recommend to anyone looking for work in their attic.
Altamira did some foundation repairs on our 100 year old home and did an excellent job! They gave us a fair assessment of our foundation and a good price for the repairs. Arrived on time and finished the work when they said they would. They were very communicative throughout the whole process and always kept us in the loop as the project progressed.They also suggested future work to water proof our foundation and were honest enough to tell us how we could get that work done for less.I highly recommend Altamira for any construction project you may have.
Francisco responded quickly and completed the job on time. His rates were very fair. I recommend you consider him for your project.
Jesse and ethos built did an awesome job with our custom built in banquette seating. The workmanship is high and they did the job at a very reasonable rate. We had some challenges around schedules and timing but all in all I would definitely recommend ethos built if you're looking for any sort of carpentry / cabinet work.
Highly professional, easy to work with, good communication, job well done. Thanks to Tony and his crew.
Beyond expectations! My third project with Challenge Rooter was the biggest yet: to replace and upgrade the drainage system from the back patio, through the yard, to the street. PLUS during the same 3 days replace approx. 115 ft. of old clay pipe sewer lateral, including permit and inspection fees, excavation, proper traffic control, necessary concrete removal and replacement, replacing city WYE connection, obtaining the sewer lateral compliance test, off-hauling debris, cleaning work area, and more than can describe here. Basically, everything that needed to be done was done well! This was a relief, as my abundant past experiences with contractors, plumbers and other professional services often required me to keep a close eye to avoid pitfalls. With Challenge Rooter, Chebo the owner, Rosa and staff in the office, and the highly-experienced teams of workers maintained clear communication throughout the process, were responsive to any questions I might have, and the scheduling was precise. The big equipment came and went on time exactly as needed. The scope of project was clarified at the beginning, and the price and timing was completed as agreed. I could not be happier.
Job Juarez and his team has helped us with a couple of remodel projects - 1) adding a deck and double doors to walkout to the back deck/patio and 2) renovating our kitchen which included taking down walls and adding beams.JJ has been great to work with - worked with us through surprises that come along with renovations, is patient and conscientious and doesn't cut corners, and is thoughtful in the recommendations/ideas that he proposes. His crew is polite and easy to work with as well.
Vinconstruction is the company I can highly recommend to anyone. Their proffesionalism, and communication to details are awesome. This company is still on my top list for any work at our church facility located in downtown Oakland. They have done so much including remodeling out church kitchen which looks amazing. I have hired this company to do a lot of work at my property just after seeing what they did at the church. They work 7 days with no day off just to make sure to meet the completion time. They work good with customer for approaching the better deal of their dream projects.
DIG installed our graywater system and rainwater tanks. Throughout, Mano, Niko, and others have been fantastically patient, calm and competent. They've also gone over and beyond with followup help when we've needed it. We couldn't recommend them more highly.
I have worked with this company twice now and both times were great. They answered my dumb questions and the equipment was available on time and worked great. Don't hesitate to reach out to them if you need a system!!
It is a very professional company with very high standards in its quality and professionalism. I definitely recommend this place.
Call Carl for all your Insulation needs, floors, walls, ceilings , They can supply and install it cheaper than you can buy it! Good crew, easy to work with, been in business along time with a Great reputation!
Working with Chuck was a great experience. As an owner of a historic Victorian, any repair work is always an adventure. Chuck ensured we understood each step as we addressed structural rot and replaced exterior siding that had to be matched because our home is on the city's historic registry. Chuck kept the job on track and exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely work with Chuck again.
Although we were unable to use this business, we appreciate David's response and guidance for help on our pest issue. Thank you David!
Our technician, Joshua H, was extremely knowledgeable, polite, and thorough. He came to inspect our apartment for a rodent problem and did a great job explaining entry points/ setting up traps! Highly recommend this company!
Matias crew did a great job on my yard! Agustin is great at attention to details and easy to communicate with. They are truly crafted at their work and made sure the end results are to my liking.Services: Concrete footings
We needed help fixing our sprinklers that suddenly stopped working. John responded quickly and set up some time to come over the next day. He was on time, very knowledgeable and was able to get things fixed and up and running in no time. Thanks John!
We are so happy we found Four Dimensions Landscape Company and that they were willing to take on our very steep and challenging hillside project. Shout out to Chris Garcia who worked closely with us through every step in the process - an extremely knowledgeable, professional, reliable, and considerate project manager. The three-man crew was great and remained positive throughout the difficult steep hill work. We wanted all native plantings, especially those that would attract birds. Four Dimensions fully knows our native plants and bird-friendly ones as well, and delivered big time and within our budget. We are very grateful for 4D! Highest possible recommendation.

I would give Rose 10 stars if I could!!! She was such a pleasure to work with! Her knowledge and obvious love for what she does shines through in her work. My family and I are blown away by how completely and beautifully our yard has been transformed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!Service: Garden design
We love our garden facelift. The benefits of soil amendments, redesigning paths , drip irrigation, replenished mulch and wonderful lights that make it all a magic place at night are wonderful. With the recent rains, we have never had so much growth and color and beauty without having to deal with the weeds because of the design features as well as the regular maintenance for the entire yard.. You will be happy with the outcome of your work with Ingrid.
Tonight at Lincoln Center I meet , I believe his name was PaulI'm very pleased to say that he enjoyed hearing my views and opinions on the water features for Damroush parkGood luck Hood Design can't wait to see how you guys transform NYC
Lara was very easy to work with, listening to our ideas and quickly helping us understand what was and wasn't realistic. She and her team provided a variety of services (thorough weeding, planting new plants, adding irrigation, building a gate) and executed them with good quality and in a timely manner. She was also a great sounding board throughout the process as new ideas came up.Her prices are not the cheapest but the work was good quality, and she was willing to make adjustments to fit our budget.We'd definitely work with Lara again in the future.
Nice selection of native plants, in good shape. It's not a very service oriented place—they're only open a few hours on Fridays, not much signage, it's a cash business, and their inventory online isn't really up to date. However, this is reflected in their low prices, which made it worth the hassle to me. Also they had healthy plants with new growth on them which is what matters most to me. It has the vibe of a place that sells to the trade or experienced gardeners. I thought it was a good find, but kind of like a hidden/rough gem.
I got three quotes for the price to cut down a massive Acacia Tree in our backyard. The best quote was from Local Tree. Justine is the owner of the business and he is professional and gets the job done with no hassle. He and his crew arrived on time, completed the job, hauled all the debris away, and cleaned the area (yard and garage). I highly recommend using Local Tree for your arborist needs. When the newly planted tree gets big enough I plan to call Local Tree for the pruning.
Ron Tavares is an excellent tree trimmer. He and his crew are friendly and conscientious. They do good work and their prices are reasonable.
Martin is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and I highly recommend him if you're looking for an arborist. He gave us a thorough assessment of our trees (the reason for the consultation), and spent a lot of time discussing proper maintenance and management of our trees (ie importance of timing pruning with respect to the season). His fee was very reasonable compared to the other local arborists I reached out to, and he did not push unnecessary work. He also provided a nice overview and history of the plants and trees native to our area! I am looking forward to working with him again in the future!
Gregg and crew are great to work with! We've used them at least 3 times now. They are really knowlegable about trees and pruning. I can trust that they will interpret what I ask of them and tell me if it can be done, or if not advisable they provide an explanation. Very tidy, respectful and polite service. I really appreciate their expertise. They are careful and take their time doing a great job. They do not disappoint!
Gary's crew arrived on time and removed the tree amazingly quickly. Their cleanup was perfect. I highly recommend them.Service: Tree removal
pros : their dental skill is great . I loved it . cons: there is nowhere easily rinse my mouth I gotta stand up and walk toward to the sink to rinse inside of my mouth. so I almost swallow my blood in my mouth Also, when i ask to get a tissue someone gave me a stiff brown tissue but I needed to blow my nose. I got it eventually but they dont know how to serve patients . also its hard to find parking spot they only had 3 spots but itwasnot easy to park . I eventually park a block away after paying. I like their skill though
The Uptown Pediatric Dentistry staff are absolutely amazing! I couldn't ask for a better care team ×w×for my son's dental needs. I appreciate you all!
Friendly, fast, smart.Got a cleaning, diagnosis, x-rays, and referrals all covered under my insurance.Going back for a filling and expect the same great service.
Doctor K did a fantastic job! I got Invisalign to straighten my very crooked teeth, she told me exactly what to do and was super kind/caring
After having bad experience with my previous dentist in Berkeley, this is my first time to visit Laurel Smile Dentistry. And I found Dr. Sebhatu to be very kind and incredibly professional dentist surrounded by well organized staff and clean office.I had a messed up partial denture that needed a lot of work. But dr. Sebhatu and his assistant were very patient and meticulously detailed to do the work.I couldn't be happier with the work they did. Best place to be!
I had a very good visit today. The dentist assisting me, was very kind, courteous and professional. I was very pleased with my cleaning and look forward to continuing my care with Oakland Smile Dentistry.
I can't recommend Dr. Thomas enough. Extremely kind, professional, efficient, and helpful. I look forward to these appointments!
I love Dr. Le, He is the best dentist I've ever brought my daughter to.We're in and out! I love the experience.He makes her feel so confident when she leaves with a pretty smile. His office is so very family Orientated and I love how he lets Other children come and watch him work to make them feel comfortable When its their time to get in the chair.
This review is about the office staff. I am looking for a new dentist because I was unhappy with the service at my current one. When I called Dr. Bernstein's office, the lady (Allison) who talked with me was extremely pleasant, warm, intelligent, and helpful. Her attitude was not affected by if I made an appointment or not. She was just friendly and open. It was a stark opposite of my experiences at my current place. I have not seen Dr, Bernstein yet, but I have always valued office staff's attitudes and believe they represent how the office is run and how they treat their patients, with care and compassion or view them merely as $ signs. Thank you Allison, for restoring my bruised experiences with dentist's office.
I've had to change dentists because of insurance issues multiple times in the last few years. It has been supremely annoying, but on the bright side it has led me to Dr. Louie!His office is located in a building with a few other small healthcare providers and is pretty small. He had one receptionist working while I was there, and unfortunately she had trouble running my and my husband's insurance - I don't blame her though, we have complicated out-of-state insurance. Dr. Louie actually helped resolve that himself! Another point for him. Once the cleaning began, I was very impressed by how gentle he was and how knowledgeable he was about teeth. I've been to many dentists but I've never heard so many dental and flossing facts while I was getting worked on. He also gave me some flossing tips I had never heard before which I've implemented in my daily routine. The biggest plus for me was that my mildly dentist-phobic husband had a similarly pleasant experience. He said he wouldn't mind coming back for a checkup sometime in the next year, which speaks volumes to the quality of work Dr. Louie does.
Dr. Gaime was very gentle and kind and made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend Dr. Gaime to my friends.
I would recommend Dr Cox to anyone. She is thorough and thoughtful. I've always had routine checkups, with no complications, but recently I saw her for some unusual mouth sores. She spent a a lot of time checking everything carefully, and explaining all the various issues to me.
My teeth are doing so much better since coming here. They did such an amazing job with my fillings that I nicknamed the dentist Dr. Fill-good.
I’ve been a patient here personally going on 37 years. In addition, my entire family and many friends go to Peterson Dental. Nothing but the best.
I had a great experience here. Had some cosmetic work done and it turned out perfect! Very efficiently run office with great staff. I highly recommend them.
She is the best I ever had/seen she takes her time with her people she the best at what she does and she cares about you
DR. CELESTE ALLEN is God's Angel! Truly & honestly. My kids have been seeing Dr. Allen for over 10+ years. She is attentive, caring, and truly an amazing person. They started seeing Dr. Allen when we lived in Oakland. We moved to Hercules & then Pittsburg and I still drive 30-45 minutes so they can see her. She is that good. My oldest daughter is now 23 and still sees Dr. Allen. She dreads turning 25 because she will not be able to continue as her patient. I have been holding off on writing this review because I really didn't want to share Dr. Allen but I'm realizing that others need her as well. DR. CELESTE ALLEN IS THE BEST!
Warm welcoming and professional! I can’t say enough about the care I received from Kara and the other practitioners. I needed relief from neck and middle back pain. I always leave feeling much better after treatment- for weeks after. I play ice hockey so I’m often hard on my body but I know where to go when I need an adjustment.Thank you !!!
Dr. Gianna and Dr. Kevin are amazing humans doing amazing work. Since I've been going to see them for Network Spinal I have felt increasingly better on many levels, physical, mental and emotional. I didn't realize that I could feel this good again - I thought the tightness and constriction I felt were a natural part of getting older. I feel stronger and more healthy than I have for the past 10-15 years. In addition to the treatments, Harmony offers educational and community building opportunities - this is how I like my healthcare and wellness. - in and with community. Thank you Dr. Kevin and Dr. Gianna!
The people here are great they get u out of pain an they ask you questions they u may not have thought why u were having pain to release it so that u can feel better doctors are great an staff arw understanding i hope they dont let it ho to there head lmao
I had resigned myself to experiencing pain and reduced range of motion in my right leg due to age. After the first visit with Melissa, my pain reduced significantly! After two weeks, I could get in and out of a car, sit down and get up off a chair without pain! Climbing stairs without props is getting easier!Who knew what a visit to a chiropractor could do?!! Exercises given by physical therapist were not helpful at all. The exercises on the Life Chiropractic website are!Highly recommend Melissa!
Generally speaking, the facilities are very clean, comfortable and friendly.Specifically, I see Anthony for acupuncture. He is a revelation. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
I absolutely love my visits to Dr. Baird's office! Dr. Baird is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares about his patients. Every time I have an appointment, I leave feeling well-informed and confident in the care I'm receiving. Dr. Baird's dedication to his patients' well-being is truly commendable. I highly recommend Dr. Baird for anyone seeking exceptional chiropractic care.
I’m thrilled with the progress I’ve made toward aligning my spine and reducing pain. Everyone here is so friendly and helpful and I feel so good after each session. I’m in the middle of my treatment plan, but for the first time in as long as I can remember I can envision a life without pain.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!! They have outstanding customer service, a clean sanitized, soothing, calmn environment, with friendly massage therapist who are there to assist you.They offer flexible hours, and are located right down town Oakland in a convenient location. They're most definitely a must if any aches, or adjustments need to be made with your body....Book with Maria she's amazing!!!!!!
I have had a great experience! I went to Dr. Irina seeking assistance with certain issues that I thought chiropractic care might help solve . She is extremely thorough in her care and creates personalized plans for your own needs in an effort to coordinate your treatment plan. I have received a lot of information , recommendations, videos, health advice, etc. to help with my needs and I am grateful for the results.
I had severe back spasms that necessitated a trip to the ER. My usual chiropractor recommended Robert after a few weeks of very slow progress. I was in severe pain for 6 weeks. After 3 or 4 visits I noticed a lessening of pain and after about 6 visits the pain disappeared completely. Robert explained everything to me about my condition and now my mother is seeing him, he has helped her a lot. This man is a treasure, don't hesitate to see him if you have issues.
I was one of JP's first patients in 1980 when he and a fellow recent graduate took over the practice of my usual chiropractor, who had retired. JP later moved from SF to Oakland and so, coincidentally, did I. He has continuously been educating himself by receiving training in a number of aligned therapies. You can get a sense of this from the certificates on the wall; those are all real. He brings a great variety of expertise to his treatment protocol.I have to say that some of what he does seems like magic--that is, it doesn't make sense according to the standard Western medicine model. But the techniques work. The Western model is very efficient in dealing with many conditions. But if you are considering chiropractic for the first time, it's probably because the standard Western techniques haven't worked for you. You have come to the right place. The "alternative" therapies can be effective in dealing with conditions where Western medicine falls short. It's good to have both available!
My brother uses them and recommends them. He writes:Dr. Bon is a wonderful chiropractor, Ximena has been very helpful as has Rachel at the front desk. Dr. Bon and Move Chiropractic have gone above and beyond for me it has gone above and beyond for me regarding insurance.
Good serviceRespectfulReally appreciate the time and effort he puts into getting you back on track. Did a excellent job in my recovery
Elon is a wonderful healer and chiropractor. He is talented and kind and takes his time. I trust him and couldnt recommend him more highly!
Matt is my favorite chiropractor in the entire world! Im an MD and i live in colorado. I would see him weekly and send all my patients to him if i could! When i do get to see him, he never disappoints, he is the BEST!!
I feel very confident in Dr Dev Chahal’s ability. Would definitely recommend!
The office staff is always super friendly and helpful. Every time I've been here a different medical assistant helps out but they are all excellent and so professional. I have previously seen Dr Fung who is fantastic but has since retired. I now see Dr Barry who is just as great. I have been dealing with recurring eczema which is finally gone thanks to her recommendations. I always have a pleasant experience coming to this office and will continue to do so
Dr. Yang is the best - Alicia and the rest of the Thornhill team are great, too!
Thank you East Bay Veterinary House Calls - EBVHC for the house call to give Watson, Pilot and DOG their annual exam and shots. Very difficult as a person who is blind to take their pet dogs to a vet, guide dogs no problem but only 1/3 of mine are a working dog! Dr. Reid and staff was great. Not to mention the driving thing, so much less stress on the doggos! Now nap time.
The BEST This is the best vet all around office clinic I have ever known in my life and at the age of almost 60 and having had many animals and known many vets. We recently moved from the East Bay to Marin however I will still take my animals to this vet office. Best most knowledgeable team of veterinarians best front office. Friendly and committed to good service best policies.. This is a general vet office that offers holistic options This team could also recommend some good specialist and I have other reviews for internist cardiologist etc.
They are very accommodating and they have an incredible staff. I love all the ways they accommodate us. They even offer text as a way to communicate without having to go in. We love them.
Fair prices, great with my animal friends. Doctor Jameson is a very nice guy. I highly recommend him.
The veterinarian care your pet receives is excellent. Make an appointment and you will be seen within 10 minutes of your appointment.
This clinic has an amazing team and Dr. Atid gave us exceptional care. We brought our cat in presenting pretty severe conditions after some ER visits that felt dismissive, and Dr. Atid immediately made us feel validated and also explained everything to us in great detail. She also acknowledged our urgency and forwarded us to a trusted doctor for further surgical procedures within 24 hours. Overall, GREAT experience at Cheshire Cat Clinic and we will definitely be coming here regularly for future cat vet visits.
I love volunteering here! Super easy scheduling system. Communicative volunteer coordinator. Staff is kind and helpful.
I have taken my dog to OakVet to treat a heart murmur for about two years. It is a wonderful pace; the staff is caring, helpful, and consistent (no turnover) - they care for our pets. Dr Williams, the cardiologist who now treats both of our dogs for heart murmurs, is GREAT!!
Our experience at HVC has been some of the most genuinely enjoyable and high quality care I’ve ever received from veterinary medicine. Every single staff member we have interacted with here is so knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and sweet to my dog. As soon as we turn the corner and she sees the lobby door, her tail goes straight up in the air and she gets so excited.Our initial consultation with the physical therapist was incredibly detailed and comprehensive, and the rehabilitation sessions we’ve attended has helped my dog regain strength. Thank you so much HVC! Persephone wishes she could give more than five stars!
Had a super positive experience at my first visit with Claremont Veterinary Hospital, and I'm thrilled to have found a great and caring vet close to home for my pup, Dora! : )
Very fast wait times and very friendly staff. The staff treated my kitten with love and care and gave him plenty of treats when he was being vaccinated. Highly recommended
Great veterinarians. The Dr.'s are all nice and care about my dogs health and happiness while we're there. The receptionists are very friendly and always give my dog attention, plus they're good with keeping animals separate if they're not good with other animals. The vet techs always take good care of her and she comes out happy. We go in often for anal gland issues...one tech keeps her happy on the front end while another does the dirty work. They always let me know how it went which I appreciate. I took her in for a bump removal surgery once and they have a separate room for the dog to recover in, not a crate. Plus there's a parking lot!Thanks for taking such good care of Lulu and making her feel loved while we're there.
My chihuahuas all lived to be 16, even though I could only afford to get teeth cleaning done on a few of my pack of 7. I just happened to think of the office of Drs. Hart and Dorsey, after looking to see if they were still in the same location, since I moved to Mich. in 2012. After seeing Ms Cunningham`s post, I had to throw in my two cents. To imagine that a customer would demand to be seen like she was the only person with a pet or limited time. During this Covid hysteria, no business has not suffered for lack of couregeous staff. I started seeing Dr. Dorsey in 199o when my mutt Rapper,was dying of congestive heart failure, aat 16. I took every puppy that my chihuahua`s had, to the Oakland Vet Hospital. One baby in a large litter was deformed, and Dr. Dorsey adopted him. I was happy when she advised me that my old babies didn`t need those vaxxes anymore...Maybe they had an inklingof an idea, that too many vaxxes will eventually accumulate into autoimmune issues.
These 2 amazing souls are super sweet, warm, gentle, and patient with my fur baby. Onyx cuts always are perfect to me. No complaints I highly recommend The L&J Grooming Company! Love and light beautiful humans and beautiful fur babies ??????
Tao was so kind to my very nervous cat. She did a great job and gave me some excellent advice to help up keep. Highly recommend!
The groomer is also a vet tech! She found a mass on my dog that was cancer without her knowledge I wouldn’t have known.
OMG the BEST mucky pup EVER. She is so kind and thoughtful of my tiny baby pup. Heather is just the best from top to bottom. She is our favorite and I wish I go to her every week because she is just the BEST. Go see here whenever you have the chance!
Although he's a very sweet dog, Teddy can be difficult and fussy. The people at blissbound hound are loving and gentle with him and he allows them to groom him and comes out looking beautiful five stars
I was attending a conference at the Oakland Convention Center and took Amelia's morning yoga class offered on floor 21 of the Marriott. It was a stunning view and Amelia was a great teacher. I really liked the way she spoke about which move was coming next and I felt very comfortable even as a beginner. Highly recommend hiring her if you have an event.
I have been with Mountain Yoga for a year and I love it! I did a wide sampling of studios from Walnut Creek to Oakland and landed on Mountain Yoga. Basically, it felt most worth my time and money. I learn so many different things from all the teachers that I do not mind driving from Moraga to Oakland 2 to 3 times per week.
I am new member of Left Coast Power Yoga. I've been really impressed with the quality and variety of classes. All of the instructors are skilled, fun, and friendly. There is a huge variety of skill levels and body types in every class, so don't be intimidated if you're a beginner. I have a back injury and have had to modify my practice a lot, but I still feel very welcome here, and the instructors are always giving me helpful tips. The studios are nicely heated to give your body that extra flexibility but not too hot. I'm very glad I signed up.
Susan Urqhart-Brown is a fine human being and teacher. She has all the great yoga teacher components in place: compassion, knowledge, spirituality, kindness, devotion, and patience. I highly recommend Susan’s Anjori Yoga classes!
My initial evaluation by Dr Feng was very enlightening, with a bonus of chronic pain relief. I’ve been treated for over a decade by a ND, who has helped me significantly. However, I am traveling across the country again to see Dr Feng. He’s given me hope that I can heal myself.
Had an absolutely incredible roll out class with Lynn here. I felt so safe and welcomed and was able to get a lot of mobility out of my shoulders (a problem spot for me). The room was clean and spacious and the equipment was lovely to work with.
Immense gratitude for Goddess Ashley of The Yoni Day Spa. What started out as an inquiry on her products turned into a 1-hour one on one wellness session. Our Queen sister had no intention on selling me anything but to sincerely pour into me. Ashley thank you for reminding me to take care of ME. To prioritize my mental and physical health. This was a testament to that quality of your character and your products. After our call a literal weight was lifted off my shoulders. Peace and abundant blessings to you and wishing BIG success in all that you do. I can’t wait to try your products ✨??
This place is a true treasure of wisdom. I have been doing moment for 30+ years yoga, tai chi, martial arts. Working as a professional and a teacher for 20 of those years. JinSung was showing me things that are fundamental to movement and alignment that I have never seen or heard of. In three class I have had breakthroughs that I didn’t know where possible on a physical and emotional level with relationship to my body and moment. I would also like to add my friend who has no yoga experience and does not work out loved the class as well. Please do your self a solid and take a beginner level 1-2 class with JinSung and come with an open mind and heart and see what happens.
Visited on a First Friday. Got to chat with the in house resident artist. Chilled in the lounge. Great for relaxing when you want to be out hanging but not walking the streets of DT Oakland in the cold. Really nice employees.
This studio is both comfortable and quirky. Comfortable bc the studio owner was creative in how she converted a home into a yoga center. Quirky bc the artwork was eclectic and representative of local artists' work. Treina is very sweet and cared about her studio
I have known Ken Breniman for over twelve years; first as a yoga instructor in the Mission District and later at a yoga retreat in Hawaii. I have worked with him as my counselor in person, over the phone and by Skype. I attended a grief and loss workshop of his in Oakland and more recently I have worked with him with sound baths and plant medicine integration counseling. Ken has the unique ability to always make everyone feel welcome and valued, no matter what hat he is wearing at the time. He is a compassionate, nurturing, and caring man with many amazing abilities. I have learned a lot by being around him and I am a much better person for having known and worked with him throughout the years. He is an awesome role model and I highly recommend him as a peaceful spiritual teacher.
First time taking a hot yoga class. I enjoyed my experience, easy instructions and very welcoming. Lydia is an awesome teacher. I highly recommend her class!
Used a class pass at this hot yoga studio with my daughter and enjoyed the class. Be warned that it is hot yoga so not for the feint of heart. The class was 90 minutes long so the extra time made it harder. I admit that during the last 1/2 hour, I was itching to leave. Thankfully that's when the resting poses come in. The heat does add to the workout and heats up your body. I need to get more acclimated to the temp! Lots of fun, I can see why folks enjoy it!
Valerie is a sorceress who has improved my quality of life dramatically since I wrote my original review. I originally sought Valerie's help for right shoulder pain from boxing and pickleball. The true reason for my pain, however, was scoliosis, which I had ignored for decades. By July 2023, my shoulder was pain-free. As I continued to increase my activity, Valerie was always spot on with helping me with whatever other issues emerged. I religiously followed the exercises that she suggested. Rather than a rigid routine, she taught me how to strategically select "a la carte" from my menu of mobility, strength, and core exercises. Today, my shoulder pain is long gone. My mobility is much better: I can raise my arms and stretch without any hitches or weakness. When I look in the mirror, my shoulders are even for the first time in 30 years. I'm down to monthly visits with Valerie (previously weekly, then every other week). Most importantly, I feel empowered to know how to respond to small issues that may come up. It feels good to be so much stronger and to be able to be active again!
I've been taking private sessions at Reactive for several years and my sessions are always great. The teachers are very knowledgeable and thoughtful in how they tailor my sessions to all the things I have going on so I feel better leaving than when I come in. The studio is easy to book and work with overall and is always clean :)
i LOVE taking pilates from Anya. She tailors each session to my pain points (hips, back, and feet), makes micro-adjustments to maximize each movement, and balances strengthening with stretching. My body feels so much better after each session! She also incorporates massage (if you'd like) and offers meditative/wellness advice (if you ask) - based on your interest. Not to mention, she's lovely to talk to and easy to get along with. And her studio is peaceful with a variety of equipment. I feel very lucky I found her!
I have been working with Sarah at Precision Point Pilates for about 3 weeks now, twice a week. A short period of time but already I know I hit the jackpot of Pilates trainers! Not only does Sarah know which exercises I need, she also knows anatomy and can explain the placement of bones and muscles and how they work together. This helps me visualize what I am doing and why. This is especially important for me as I am still recovering from a shoulder joint replacement surgery.I didn't think I could ever take reformer palates again after my surgery, but Sarah proved me wrong. I look forward to getting stronger as I continue my training so I can keep up with my very active adorable grandchildren!
Christy is honestly the best Pilates teacher I have ever had. Her instructions are so precise and spot-on and she really knows the body. As someone who has done Pilates for 10 years, I can say that I’m benefitting tremendously from her reformer classes.
I’ve had massages from Arielle, Rachel, and Sam - all are fantastic! Have felt so rejuvenated, relaxed, and loose afterwards - and the effects are long lasting. They are all amazing communicators, apply just the right pressure, and are thoughtful in their techniques and methodology. Looking forward to coming back!
I have been seeing Akasha as a massage therapist for a few months now and it has been wonderful. I have a fair amount of aches and pains all over my body (knee, ankle, and back problems), and I always leave Akasha's massage sessions feeling some relief. I leave in a better mental place as well, as our conversations are always calming and healing.The space is warm and welcoming with a comfortable temperature. The office is convenient to get to (close to the freeway) but without any noise from the outside. I also enjoy the playlists that Akasha puts on during the sessions - they're the right vibe to relax my body and mind. The setting is perfect for helping me get comfortable and transition from my sometimes chaotic life into the healing space.During the sessions, Akasha is attentive and responsive to my needs. She is great at diagnosing and working on the mental and physical sources of my pain. She has helped me explore ways to live healthier and happier through the conversations we have. I couldn't be happier going to Akasha as a massage therapist, and I've gotten a lot more out of it than I had expected.
Clarity, restoration, and strength are the magical results of Miri's work. Thank you so much for the changes that are still reverberating in my life, so grateful!
1 Touch Relaxed’s Jim was fantastic! I have a shoulder issue that he ably and professionally addressed during my massage. I’ve been to Jim before and will keep returning. He’s super friendly and conscientious of his patients’ needs. His fees are also very reasonable and totally worth it!
Ed has been incredibly helpful for addressing issues on my posterior chain. His knowledge and experience has opened my eyes for someone who’s never received massage therapy treatment prior to meeting him.Some context - I grew up as a year-round competitive swimmer throughout my life that later transitioned to weigh lifting 4-5 times a week. I developed a lot of tension and stiffness in my hamstrings, lower back, neck, and traps. After my first session with Ed, I can already feel an incredible difference with my muscles loosened up and pain alleviated.He was professional the entire process. Before ironing me out, he gave me an assessment and asked of any particular pain and discomfort. His approach to understanding my daily routine, exercise, and history of injury only further helped to treat my body.During the massage therapy, Ed made sure I was well within my pain tolerance without sacrificing my need for deep tissue treatment. That was a huge plus for me. He also made sure to not only explain what he was treating and why, but also educated me on how I can prevent my posterior chain stiffness.A humble, knowledgeable, and professional guy who will get the job done. I’m definitely looking forward to future treatments and I know that these sessions will directly translate to my overall health and well-being.
Fanny is a talented esthetician that not only provides excellent hydro facials but truly wants to get to know you and your skin beforehand. I was very impressed with the level of detail and care she provided before and during the appointment and her follow ups to check in on how my skin was doing post-facial, which really demonstrates her level of dedication to her clients and her skin care services. She wants to make sure your skin is feeling great and what may need to be tweaked (if anything) for you personally for next time.She is a delight and could not recommend her more - looking forward to my next visit!
Heading to Amina for a deep tissue massage is like hitting the reset button on your body and mind. Right from the get-go, the place is a breeze to deal with. Booking online is easy peasy. Their system is super straightforward, letting you snag a spot without needing to play phone tag. They're right off the freeway, and you've got free parking upfront, which is a godsend. No need to circle the block or pay an arm and a leg just to park your car. They're also close to Lake Merritt BART and not too far from the Jack London ferry. The place is modern and cozy. Their massage rooms are delightfully warm and inviting, with light music and dimmed lighting. Everything is designed to make you breathe easier the moment you walk in. And let me tell you, these folks are punctual. When they say your massage starts at 3:05, they mean it. Now, let's talk about the massage therapists Michelle and Gina because they're the real MVPs here. They're kind and intuitive, but don't let their friendly demeanor fool you - when it comes to massage, they can pack a punch! They know exactly where to press, knead, and push to get those stubborn knots out. It's the perfect mix of "Ooh, that's the spot" and "Wow, I didn't even know I needed that." They tailor the session to what you need, making sure you walk out feeling like a million bucks. All in all, Amina just nails it, especially if you have stubborn knots from working at a computer all day. They're surprisingly strong and know just what to do. A trip to Amina in Jack London is like a mini-vacation without the hassle of packing. They've thought of everything to make sure you leave feeling healthier, more relaxed, and maybe even a little taller than when you came in.
Alex is a very skilled massage therapist. I absolutely loved my recent 90-minute, deep tissue massage from her. She is knowledgable, professional, and kind. Her space is calming and peaceful. I recommend getting a massage from Alex!
Kristin is professional, kind, and highly skilled. Her space is calming and clean and I immediately felt at ease. I can’t wait to go back for another prenatal session with her. Highly recommend!
Marcelina is one of the most gifted massage therapists I've ever met (And I've been lucky enough to get massages around the world by gifted therapists)! I would describe her approach as therapy for the body. She hones in on problem areas with just a touch of her hands and is able to release the most tension from your body with her caring approach and breathing techniques. Additionally, if you struggle with anxiety or chronic stress, she's perfect for you. She made me feel safe and was able to help release me from my constant daily fight or flight mode. After the massage, I felt so happy and like myself for a change. Marcelina - I know you said you're not a magician, but I think you just might be.
My husband bought me a massage with Marwan for my birthday and it was quite possibly the best massage I've ever had. I've often struggled to find a massage therapist strong enough to apply the type of pressure I'm looking for in a deep tissue massage, but Marwan's strength, technique, and knowledge made this massage exceptional. I appreciated the time he took before the massage to go over specific issues, injuries, expectations, etc. as well as the attention to my many problem areas. I would highly recommend a massage by Marwan and can't wait to book my next one.
Tanya is amazing! Extremely knowledgeable and knows exactly what to focus on. Best massage and will keep coming back.
My massage with Ronit truly helped me reset, and heal my aching muscles and psyche! Her work placed me in a healing cocoon. I felt immersed in harmony. She is a uniquely talented therapist and a trustworthy guide. Thank you, Ronit!
Erica is not only great for pain, but she helps with lymphatic drainage, post surgery and so much more. If you’re looking for a massage therapist look no further because Erica is the one you need.
I've been going to Kei for many years now! And there's good reason for that, she does a wonderful job at helping reduce any pains that you might have! I've gone to her for my shoulder pain, and usually upper body tightness! Definitely would recommend!
I had gone to 3 other locations in the past for PT and I was so lucky to find Renew PT in Oakland. The 5 star reviews are all spot on and was so relieved to have this gem with wonderful staff in the front and PTs who are so thorough and excellent in assessing and providing effective exercises that really made a difference. The work space was very clean, not crowded and was a pleasure to go to. I liked that the exercise routines were easily accessible with video links that demonstrated the correct way to do the routines. I had Jeff and Lena for my physical therapists and both were great. I would definitely return to Renew if I needed rehab PT in the future.
Emily is truly invested in her patients recovery! She’s thorough, creative, and intentionally tailors the exercises she prescribes to the needs of each individual case. Her treatment of my ankle injury has been a huge help and I can’t recommend her more!
Dr. Kristin is a gifted diagnostician and genuine healer. After carefully assessing my problem, she developed a customized plan that we amend each week as I make progress. She's an excellent communicator. The office staff is likewise efficient and accommodating. I highly recommend this practice!
On the very strong recommendation of another PT who had moved out of the area, I went to see Steve Ryan for reverse total shoulder replacement post-op physical therapy. Steve is simply the best, most knowledgeable, competent, straightforward, compassionate, patient and organized physical therapist I have ever worked with. The written instructions and (excellent) videos for the prescribed PT exercises are available the day of or 1 day after your appointment. He is very organized and prompt so appointments are always on time. I am 79 years old and very active for my age. Steve guided me through a major glitch in my surgical recovery and I am now fully back to all my physical activities. I'm sure I couldn't have done this without his professional mentorship. Strongly and without hesitation thank and recommend Dr. Stephen Ryan for physical therapy.
Edie is the Sherlock Holmes of PTs. Don't expect a run of the mill assessment and standard exercises. Edie goes deep in her evaluation, bringing decades of experience, education, insight, and wisdom about how our bodies perform, and she then works with you on solutions that actually work for you and your lifestyle. She does all of this with grace, patience, compassion, and humor. Best of all, she LOVES what she does and it shows.I went to Edie with a laundry list of flat feet, persistent lower back pain, tendonitis in my wrists and elbows, and massive neck/shoulder lockup with chronic headaches. Edie took one look at my feet and said they're not (structurally) flat, they're just flexible and weak, but the good news is that we can probably fix them. In just 6 weeks my gait has improved and, with it, my posture. I no longer wake up aching and stiff. My headaches have cleared, thanks to Edie's bodywork (yep, her approach to healing is holistic and she doesn't just do PT). And, I never thought I'd say this, but I love the exercises she gives me. They make me feel so good during and after. Edie's studio is like the ultimate playground. She has all kinds of equipment, props, and tools that she puts to full use to find personalized solutions for you.Pro tip: Don't hold back, be honest about your habits and how you live, so that you can benefit from Edie's work. I love to hang out in bed for more hours than the average cat and I knew it was adding to my already existing back pain. I was afraid Edie would tell me my bed is now off limits, but instead, she set me up with the right support pillows and here I am, writing this review pain-free from guess where? :)
Reboot is a fantastic place to unwind and take care of yourself. I've come here for over a year now for saunas, plunges and freezes and love it. The staff here are all amazing, so friendly.
I have been going to Shirliey for almost two years now through so many phases of infertility, IVF, miscarriage, and now pregnancy! She has been one of the only constant practitioners I have seen throughout the process and she is truly a gifted and essential godsend. In addition to helping me to (finally) achieve pregnancy, she has also helped to balance my spirit and body as a whole as I've navigated this super stressful time. I've done both weekly acupuncture and Maya massage her based on different things going on with infertility treatments, diagnosis, and more. She is incredibly knowledgable in both and how to use both in tandem to heal. She is a great listener and a wealth of knowledge beyond just acupuncture, providing dietary and at-home healing techniques for everything from bloating and stress to indigestion and allergies. I love talking with her every week to debrief how things are going, and also appreciate her practical and direct but caring communication style. I've celebrated and also cried with her and consider her such an important part of my care team. I cannot recommend Shirliey enough!
Wiley read my intake carefully and listened attentively in consults and meetings. He was very culturally sensitive with gender non-conforming needs. His touch is sure and comforting. The acupuncture and massage treatment both had immediate strong effects. Dr Huey, I want to play that relaxing music for my students!
I’m so glad I found someone as knowledgeable and experienced in treating my chronic hip pain as Kari. She always has a plan and I feel so well cared for, listened to, and supported.
Thoughtful, intentional and wonderful practitioner. Have had many sessions with Aimee and cannot say enough about her. The newsletters she creates are also such a beautifully crafted touch. 10/10!
I am relatively new to acupuncture, and Ivy has been so great to work with whenever I have the time to make it to Oakland for sessions. She also offers guasha workshops, mists, tea blends, guasha tools, incense, and can provide guidance on other TCM modalities/practices you can incorporate into your daily life at home. I've been seeing Ivy for general wellness concerns and would absolutely recommend getting in touch with her, ESPECIALLY if you're looking to resolve any symptoms related to women's health, or if you're looking for holistic prenatal and postpartum care.
Jenny is an amazing healer. I started going to her when I was pregnant and she helped me with nausea and fatigue. Now my son is 13. She has treated me for so many different issues through the years--treating my asthma, healing from pneumonia, dealing with frozen shoulder, hormone imbalance and most recently, a knee injury. She is so experienced that she is always fast and efficient. I find relief within jus a few sessions. And her wit and wisdom are an added bonus! I can't recommend her enough.
Blue Sky Acupuncture is a gem of a place. Very clean and cozy, with a great atmosphere and décor. But, the best part is the quality of the service. I have a stiff neck and tight lower back. I also have ulnar nerve neuropathy. So, I recently started getting acupuncture to help with the tight muscles. I get a treatment every week, and I often combine it with cupping or gua sha, which is scraping with a copper tool to increase blood flow and break up adhesions. No matter what treatment I get, I always feel great afterwards. Victoria is so good at what she does. Not only that, but she is warm, kind, and dedicated to making her patients feel better. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure you get the absolute treatment possible. I feel very lucky and thankful I discovered this gem of a place!!
Srinika was wonderful to work with. I came to her with persistent digestive issues and after thorough testing we found the solution that was right for me. I haven't had any of my symptoms return since following her recommendations and dietary changes.
Wow, I did dry needling here and it totally saved me. My planter fasciitis is gone! I can’t believe it.
Hong has been so much help to me as a cancer patient. He has helped me immensely with dealing with treatment side effects, pains and digestion. I started seeing quick relief within a couple of days and though the past 5 months he treated me, my health has improved tremendously. A fantastic traditionally trained acupuncturist!
I found Root and Stem when I was pregnant and have continued going for years. Every practitioner there is kind, understanding and effective. I have been working with Jessica for over a year and have seen incredible results with pain management, hormonal support, and so much more. Love working with her!
Working with Xiaojing for the past months has been life changing.My gynecologist recommended acupuncture for managing the ups and downs of hormonal swing.
I’ve been meaning to write this review for a long time but, with a new baby time got away from me. I went through fertility testing and they recommended IUI then IVF. But I wanted to try something else before going that route. I had never tried acupuncture before in my life.I spent 2.5 months with Dr. Kao after trying to conceive for over a year and was able to conceive on our first full cycle with herbs and acupuncture. I remember the time I received acupuncture from right before I conceived and the needles were humming/vibrating and one even snapped while it was in me! That’s when I felt something had changed…I became pregnant on or around my 36th birthday (3-5 days after “that” session) and we welcomed our son in December. My winter solstice baby. He is a very calm, curious, and happy baby. He has brought overwhelming joy to myself and my family, and I wanted to thank Dr. Kao for helping me to relax and believe that I could conceive. I was referred by someone who conceived with Heidi in two cycles, and they were referred by another couple who conceived in two cycles as well. I recommend acupuncture to everyone I know who is struggling.Thanks for your contribution to our family, and I plan to come back if we decide to have another.
Chris and his staff at the acupuncture OCA are truly exceptional. From the moment you walk in, you are enveloped in a sense of calmness and serenity, with a soothing water fountain greeting you. The center boasts a variety of rooms, each uniquely designed to cater to your preferences. Whether you prefer a spacious room or a cozy, intimate space, they have it all. Every room is equipped with a sound machine, heated tables etc that effortlessly transports you to a state of relaxation, enhancing the overall experience. As a cyclist, I sought relief for discomfort in my feet, hands, shoulders and fingers. Chris was attentive, asking all the right questions before commencing the acupuncture session. The results were nothing short of amazing - I left feeling rejuvenated, calm, and relaxed. My wife has been visiting the center once a month for over three years, and each visit has successfully addressed her issues. Today's session prompted me to write my first review, as it was truly awesome. Chris is an exceptional practitioner, and while I've heard that other acupuncturists at the center are excellent too, Chris is my go-to without a doubt. Each session with Chris leaves me feeling breathless and completely pain-free. If you're seeking a transformative acupuncture experience, look no further than Chris and his dedicated team!!
Dr Zhang, has help me with my arm, and pain. He’s honest and will take great care of you
Joseph is very helpful and nice. Passed the behind the wheel test first try.
Took a lesson and the test the same day the instructor Andrew was great at identifying what I needed to work on and within 2 hrs I passed my driver test would recommend
The best school in the bay, i got my CDL license in 2 months, first try, the best teachers and equipment, i recomend this school 100% with help of Bryan and Bladimir Rivera i got my license.
Mona is punctual, reliable and knowledgeable. She is also very nice and quickly built rapport with my teen and instilled confidence and safety awareness. As a mom, I was way too nervous to be my teen's first instructor. I hired Mona for a series of lessons. So glad I did. As we get close to the test, I booked a few more lessons. Worth every penny!
I want to express my utmost gratitude to Amber Rose, my driving school teacher, for her exceptional teaching skills and unwavering support before my behind-the-wheel test. Her patience and clear instructions gave me the confidence I needed to pass the test successfully. I highly recommend Amber Rose to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled driving instructor.
My instructor was Stacey. I had a great experience with her! She helped me overcome my fear of driving as well as provided me with some helpful tips when I am feeling anxious. I felt very comfortable with her as an instructor. I definitely learned a lot about navigating the road and taking control of the wheel. Thanks to her I was able to pass my test on the first try!
Was reading reviews about "overpriced" and some other negative stuff. They are one of the only schools that will take you to DMV in a truck with an instructor. The snivelers with the "their mean" are slackers that think they are going to get handed their license.
A top-notch driving school. I strongly recommend them. My instructor Andrew was very professional. He came to my house to get me always on time. On my first day we sat in the car, and he went over all the rules with me and made sure I understood everything he answered all the questions I had for him, very patient with me. Then I started driving all over the place. He explained everything to me while driving, even my mistakes. I felt relaxed and more confident driving around with him. I will continue practicing with him until I take my test in 2 weeks. So far, I have had 3 lessons. I will be going on the freeway soon, my biggest fear. The prices for the lessons are very affordable and worth every penny. Don't hesitate to join their school, you'll be happy.
