Better context for better local decisions.

I had my hair done by Gretel a few months ago. She single handedly was THE BEST hair stylist I have come across. Her knowledge and experience goes without saying. She is extremely sweet, kind, and patient. I have been trying to book with her again but can not find her.

I hadn’t seen her in months while I was living out of the area, and I just called to schedule a haircut. Her message said she retired at the end of July — such a loss! She was truly gifted. If I asked for a specific cut, I’d get a few compliments. But when I let her do whatever she thought would look best, the compliments would pour in for weeks. She made people feel beautiful, and she will be deeply missed.

After losing a stylist to cancer after being with them for a decade, I went to several corporate and chain outlets with mediocre results. A friend told me about Sammi at Family Clips 9-years ago, and there was no contest. She cuts hair as well as or better than any stylist I've known. Simply superb! She is 5-star all the way! And quick, though that doesn't mean she cuts corners (yes, pun). Haircuts just don't get any better than with her.

I came into Master Nicole Carpenter's salon with what looked like a bad mop on my head and left looking like a million dollars. I paid significantly less than that for her artistry. Nicole craft is affordable in a day and age that some are trying to fleece people with $100 haircuts! Master Nicole isn't only a great artist , she's kind and a solid, local businesswoman.

Derrick gave me an outstanding haircut! He takes his time, pays attention to every detail, and makes sure everything is just right. His skill, professionalism, and dedication to his craft really show in the quality of his work. I couldn’t be happier with my haircut and the overall experience. Thank you Derrick!

After 25 years I decided to get back to driving. I signed up for Viking Driving School to take a few driving lessons. I met there a really nice and helpful staff - the boss Kasia set for me the driving hours and the instructors helped me refresh my knowledge and skills. Thanks to them I also gained more courage and self -confidence while driving. I warmly recommend this school not only to young and also to older people, because the crew is very friendly, kind, and very inspiring in teaching driving.

I had a vision for a tattoo, and I met with Luis over Instagram to talk about it. I eventually made the appointment and I was not disappointed. Luis nailed it. My father had Alzheimer's and I wanted my tattoo to honour him. We have the elephant who never forgets, surrounded by forget me nots. Luis also added the Alzheimer's ribbon on the elephant's ear. I love my tattoo and I get so many compliments on it. I will definitely be back for another piece.
I should add that Luis and his team are amazing. We were treated with amazing service from beginning to end. I even got a piercing after my tattoo. Service was top notch.

These professionals were skilled and very caring about what services they offer us as we wait to be serviced. They did a perfect job for me of everything on the car to keep it running and even sprayed the door latches!!! Love the place.

I had gone to the 401 Barber Shop and got a total hack job. Worst hair cut ever. I went into McArthur's to get it fixed and Rob and Andrea got together to figure out what to do about it. I ended up getting the best hair cut I ever had and have gone back several times since and had a great hair cut each time. I would highly recommend McArthur's to any man that wants a great hair cut.

Carl is a very professional man and does his work at Top Notch. No matter what you want done he will do it and explain everything he is doing. We needed him in a hurry and he came the same day for us which was very important. He took his time with us and everything was fixed perfect. We will not get anybody else to do electrical work. His wife who made the appointments for him was very pleasant also. Believe me you will be happy with his work. He is always on time and his prices are good. This is the first time we ever had a electrician in our house and had a lot of work done and Very Pleased. If you call for service, you won't be sorry. We give Carl a AAA+++ Thank you Carl for your help. Ed and Kaye

We visited several counter top stores, and received quotes from four of them. Stone International not only beat the others prices, the added value by providing that one-stop shop compounded my savings, as they took care of everything. From start to finish we had a great experience with working with Shea and his team, and he was always quick to respond, schedule, and install. EVERYTHING THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO, THEY DID, AND DID IT VERY WELL. The install guys were great! Super friendly and did a quality job! We love our new Quartzite counter tops and tile back splash. I do plan to remodel the master bath and Stone International will be my first call.

I have been wearing glasses for 56 years, and I am rough on them, so I always try to get deals at those chain stores. Last year I decided to give a local business a chance, and I can't believe the difference in experience. There was no high-pressure sales. They not only treated me as if I was their only customer, but continue to. My dog chewed the arms off, and I was able to purchase the glasses at a very reasonable price, and they swapped the lenses out for me at no cost. This morning the arm fell off, and I couldn't fix it myself, so I walked in, and Diana put them back together for me. The staff truly love their jobs and helping us sight-challenged people! I will be a forever customer. If you are looking for eyeglasses, don't buy anywhere else until you at least check them out. They truly are the BEST! Thank you, One Price Optical, for always providing the best customer service with a sincere smile!

My experience working for Almost Family LLC was as positive of an experience one could possibly have working as a caregiver. This is a hard job, and the dedicated staff at the office are constantly trying to juggle their many clients schedules, which means there are many inevitable schedule changes and requests for shift covering, but that is something that is inherent to this line of work. Even with the added pressure this career brings, the staff were constantly responsive, passionate, and understanding. If they called and requested I cover a shift that I was not able to cover, they were always understanding and did not push back. If I requested a day off, they would grant it so long as I gave them the notice they explicitly asked for in the interview and during orientation. When starting a job like this, you have to accept that it does not function like a retail job. It is not always easy, but the Almost Family staff do every single thing in their power to make sure things run smoothly as they can. I learned things about humanity from this job that not a lot of people are able to learn until their later years, and for that I am forever grateful.

Full Circle employees are always polite,meticulous in their work and are great about cleaning up at the end of the day. I highly recommend them. We have hired them for several projects and have always been pleased.

They are very good at what they do but they've jacked up their prices tremendously and their billing tends to get padded, so get a preliminary estimate beforehand as to their hourly rates so you won't get sticker shock when you get their invoice.
