Christinarose did my wifes hair and the service was Wonderful. Great place and awesome customer service. Highly recommend!
Gigi is The Best! She explains each potion she is applying and why. She said I’ve got sensitive skin - what? I never thought that but once she explained a few points it all made sense. Gigi has a firm touch and great technique. She is very professional and knowledgeable. So glad I tried her business. ?
Had the best experience with Tran, she’s the sweetest person that makes you feel so comfortable. I got the classic lashes and they look amazing. just the look I was hoping for. Can’t wait to show them off. I’ll be back for sure!
Alison has extraordinary talent and knowledge. She can intuit which muscles are sore and which related muscles also need work, plus she also knows how to get at all those muscles. I've followed her to 3-4 locations now.
I love getting my nails done by Lily. She does a great job every time. She’s fast , professional and grows your nails. It’s best to make an appointment because they get pretty busy .
Lily is so nice, and does amazing work and try a new design Lily does great designs . 10/10
My nail tech was awesome! He gave me the exact designs I asked for. Thank you Envy Nails!
Satisfied with the result of my hair color. Very good experience! I will definitely go back!
Thank you Mona!
If you want to nourish and pamper your skin, this is the place! The moment you step into Melvi’s suite, you’re transported into a little oasis filled with calming music and soothing aromatherapy that instantly helps your nervous system relax.
Melvi takes the time to listen to your concerns and genuinely wants to understand your skincare routine. I was a bit intimidated at first since I struggle to stay consistent while dealing with acne and large pores, but she made me feel completely comfortable. She’s truly helping me take control of my skin, and I’m excited to go on this journey with her guidance and skills.
This was my third facial with Melvi, and I’m already booking my next appointments. I honestly can’t wait to come back, unwind for an hour, and let her work her magic on my face!
Every individual studio is exquisitely decorated showing each business owners esthetic. You can find everything from hair catering catering to many different needs as well as nail art, massage, teeth whitening, tattoos and many more. As a stylist and owner renting a studio, with in Image studios I can say the Karen and Gary are very acclimating and want to see everyone within the studios flourish and succeed. Highly recommend for individual business owners and patrons alike.
I have rarely met anyone who is as good at anything as Joan is at massage therapy. Seriously, she is incredible. I've been going to her for a few years, and she has really helped me with some chronic pain issues.
I transitioned from long to short hair and Therese really helped me with the transition! I am still getting compliments on my haircut and it’s been a few months! No regrets!
Michelle at Lovely Brows is amazing! She shaped my brows perfectly and made them look natural yet polished. Super professional, friendly, and detail-oriented. My brows have never looked better!
Quick and easy waxing experience! Had a Brazilian and lower back wax. I am very sensitive. She was very gentle and sweet. Will definitely be going back.
Second time going and had an excellent experience once again, explains the process and is very helpful with any questions or concerns, goes above and beyond:) and very creative and amazing attitude, look forward to coming back ?Specialties: Tooth gems
Twist changed my curl life forever. Everywhere I go I get compliments on my curls, and it just would not have been possible without Twist; everyone here has taught me everything I know about styling and maintaining curls.
Tyler and Nicole do such a fantastic job with my cut, color and style. Always a treat to come to Twist!!
Absolutely will be going back here!! Kellie was so welcoming and so kind! This was my first haircut in over a year and with curly hair I was a little nervous but we talked through what I wanted, our goals for my hair... it was an amazing experience!
I just had to come on here and rave about Jessica because she is truly incredible. This was my third time seeing her, and she continues to exceed my expectations every single visit. I am so beyond happy with my hair. I have 3B curly hair, and while there are great stylists in the Bay Area, Jessica is the first person I've personally found who truly understands my curls, my shape, and how color works with my natural texture. From the very first appointment, I felt completely confident in her hands. This visit she did my balayage, a curly cut, and a treatment - and the results are absolutely beautiful. My curls are bouncy, defined, healthy, and the color is so soft and natural with gorgeous dimension. The shape is perfect, and my hair feels better than it has in a long time. On top of the amazing hair, the studio experience itself is such a vibe. They had warm apple cider, wine, champagne, cookies, and little snacks, which made the whole visit feel so elevated and cozy. Someone (I think the owner!) even brought me another warm apple cider without me asking - it was such a thoughtful touch. Everyone in the salon is genuinely kind and welcoming, and you really feel taken care of from start to finish. Jessica is not only extremely talented, but also kind, patient, and very detail-oriented. She takes her time, explains what she's doing, and genuinely cares about the final result. You can feel how passionate she is about her craft. If you have curly hair and are looking for someone who truly knows how to work with it, I highly recommend booking with Jessica. I leave her chair happy every single time, and this was my best visit yet. Thank you so much, Jessica!
First haircut that has made me feel confident in years! Ashley is amazing and gives great advice on what haircut suits my face shape and hairline. Will definitely be back.
She did a wonderful job cutting my sons hair today! She put on the movie he requested and handled him and his hair so great, despite him being a wiggle worm. She even gave him extra candy and a toy at the end for being so good. We will definitely be coming back!!
I had my hair braided recently at SGS and they did a fantastic job. Byrisha was the stylist that did my hair and she was great. This is only my second time getting my hair braided and both she and Tina, the owner, were very good about answering all of my questions. The location is perfect, right there at South Shore, so it's easy to get to with plenty of parking. The salon space was comfortable and they were always checking in to see if I wanted anything to drink or snack on. I love having such a convenient spot to get my hair braided. I received so many compliments about my hair. Great job Sweet Growth!!
I used to go to a traditional barbershop but then I grew my hair out during the pandemic. Jenene helped me look good with longer hair and now every time I get a fresh cut by her I get compliments from my friends and family. The experience of getting a haircut from Jenene is also fun.
Jordan is an expert hairstylist, offering great advice about my hair color and care. I wanted low maintenance gray coverage that looks natural. She is amazing!! The salon space is beautifully designed, easy to park, safe and convenient location!
Christinarose did my wifes hair and the service was Wonderful. Great place and awesome customer service. Highly recommend!
I transitioned from long to short hair and Therese really helped me with the transition! I am still getting compliments on my haircut and it’s been a few months! No regrets!
Jone, who does excellent work on hair, is always fantastic. I have awful straight hair and after Jone works her magic at the Honey Salon in Alameda CA, my hair looks fantastic. Highly recommend her!
Chelsea gave me an amazing curly cut. She completely transformed my curls and gave me a much needed reshape. I have always had a hard time managing/styling my 3C hair to the point where I just wear it in a bun daily. She was super helpful and patient in answering all of my questions about haircare, maintenance, products, etc. She gave me the confidence to finally wear my hair down and experiment with new styles. So far, I have been using the Innersense shampoo and conditioner she recommended and that alone has made a HUGE difference, I can't wait to try the styling products. I wish I would have done this much sooner in life, beyond worth it!
I booked Cindy for a haircut and I am very happy about the result. She knows Asian hair very well, she layers my hair very nicely and gives me a curtain bang as I ask for. She is sweet, polite, efficient and punctual.
Parking is also very easy. The salon is clean and welcoming. I am very satisfied with my experience overall and will come back again.
Ellie is great! I've tried a few different places in Oakland, and Ellie has definitely been my favorite. She's also great to talk to.
I'm a man with medium-length/short curly hair and I just go in for haircuts.
If you need a haircut in Alameda, you go here....... It's the only option to get your cut right...... Great barbers, sjilled in all types of styles and cuts ✂️
First time ever going into a barber shop and such a cool vibe. The interior is really warm and welcoming and the staff is really friendly. Loved all the sports talk in there and enjoyed the vibes and of course, the fresh fade.
Clean shop with a slight balm of a gentleman's talc set to a good atmosphere with a modern kinda vibe. Some cool lookin' rustic tools of the trade on display, along with tasteful homages to the ones who paved the way for these professionals to do their business of keepin' certain heathens like myself somewhat civilized. You too if you dig the 6 handshake/separation thing. I wonder... Anyhow, awesome customer service with some straight hella cool, chill dudes who are masters of their craft. Small shop requiring appointment scheduling in advance so keep that in mind and you shall be rewarded with some great lookin' hair.
Jalen did an absolute perfect job on my son's haircut. He vibed real well with him and my son looks so sharp now and I can see his confidence has risen. Jalen, thank you for sharing your talent and being so professional. We will be returning customers!
This is the shop to be at. Erick is a barber that pays attention to detail and gives you the cut your looking for. I have never left his shop feeling unsatisfied.
Esther did a phenomenal job with our son's first haircut. She made everyone feel at ease, & took the time to show our son the various tools that would be used in order to make him feel more comfortable. Esther is also incredible at men's haircuts (she cuts my husband's hair). Highly recommend Esther for all of your family's haircut needs!
Back in the day, TK Barber Shop & Spa was my go-to groove and always made my 'do improve--and yes, that's my younger self gracing their Yelp photo. Years later, fatherhood has added some greys, but TK still slays. A spontaneous visit reminded me why this spot remains a gem. 4.5 Stars * Sunny's Sorcery Sunny's still got it! He understood my hair's quirks so quick and slick, wielding those rare texturizing scissors like a magic trick. Left looking fresher and younger--pure wizardry. * Budget Brilliance At $31, my bucks stayed sound, while my look was crowned. Exceptional value for top‑notch service. * Swift Service No appointments, no waits--just in and out at record rates. Walked in, sat down, and was out in under 10 minutes--efficiency that's destined to win it. * Park Street Perks Located amidst Alameda's vibrant Park Street, where eats and treats make each visit complete. A haircut here fits perfectly into a day about town--one cut, one strut, never a letdown. 1/2 * K-Pop Poster Play The Big Bang posters still adorn the walls, and matching members across posters takes brainy recalls. ------ 1/2 (-) Cramped Quarters Caveat The shop's narrow layout feels snug and tight--if it gets packed, comfort takes flight. Thankfully, I visited during a calm spell.
Big fan of this place. Great cuts . They do an incredible job every time . One recommendation : if you're new , consider bringing a photo of a haircut you've liked in the past
This place is awesome. I should have gone here a long time ago. Such great barbers and always a clean cut. :):)
My nail tech was awesome! He gave me the exact designs I asked for. Thank you Envy Nails!
The best place to get your gel mani and pedi, Stephanie knows what she's doing and is so creative! She offers different types of services for your nails always has the best in products she takes care of your nails and gives you exactly what your looking for. Makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed. The salon is unique and always very clean. Very pleasant experience coming in and getting pampered. I LOVE this place ❤️
By chance I was walking by and decided to see whether they took walk-ins, and I'm glad I did! Lynn was super friendly, she did a great job on my nails, and she gave me a gel manicure at a really great price. I'll definitely be coming back!
I have been a loyal customer of Nancy's salon for close to 20 years. Sophia is my regular manicure/pedicurist and she does a marvelous job. When Sophia is on vacation I go to Nancy or Lily both of whom are excellent. I am more than satisfied with Nancy's Salon and am very grateful to Nancy and her wonderful staff.
I have been going to many local nail salons where I live for pedicures and have been disappointed in everyone. I feel I pay ridiculous amounts of money for fancy chairs, decor, hot rocks, rose petals and champagne, etc. Not that I do not enjoy those things but what I want is quality work. I need pedicure to not only have cute toes but to keep my feet healthy and free from excessive callus growth and cracking. Other shops are revolving people as fast as they can but Nancy at Elegant Nails really worked on my issues. I just had a pedicure and it was absolutely amazing work. She is solo in her shop and is open by appointment only. If you leave her a message she will call back immediately. You are not going get the bells and whistles of other shops but you will get quality work and great care.
Small and family owned. We were served with kindness and attention. I will go back because I felt at ease!
I booked a same-day service for a builder gel manicure, and I’m thrilled with the results! Nhi was absolutely amazing, taking her time to create a gorgeous manicure for me. And to top it off, there even gave me a relaxing shoulder massage. It was a total pampering experience!
Very professional and always kind! I have bounced around many salons and finally found one worth going to the rest of my life
I’ve been coming to this nail salon regularly for a year now and I love my nails everytime I get them done by Emily. The salon is clean, there is just relaxing music playing, no tvs, they offer water and are all respectful, quiet and friendly. ♥️
Linda did my brows like no other!!!
I’m SO much happier with my eyebrows. I lived in Mexico and 1st got them “microshaded” but wasn’t totally happy.
When Linda redesigned them, I felt FABULOUS.
Now, the strokes look just like hair feel more natural.
Yay!!!
Cool—-
Best nail place I've been to in a long time. Kim is so personable, she makes her customers feel valued!!
My favorite place for a pedicure. The peaceful, private, and serene environment, and Trang's lovely care make it like a little retreat.
Katie is THE BEST NAIL ARTIST EVER! I ONLY go to her as she listens and knows what I need. After toe surgery, she listened to my difficulties in the past- beautiful work pedicures! Beautiful space! Sister to my business ' HAIRTECHALAMEDA.COM
HI-TECH NAILS ? IS NUMBER ONE!
Had the best experience with Tran, she’s the sweetest person that makes you feel so comfortable. I got the classic lashes and they look amazing. just the look I was hoping for. Can’t wait to show them off. I’ll be back for sure!
Michelle at Lovely Brows is amazing! She shaped my brows perfectly and made them look natural yet polished. Super professional, friendly, and detail-oriented. My brows have never looked better!
My ASD son loathes haircuts - change is hard. He also has insanely thick curly hair that hadn’t been cut in nearly a year. Rebecca worked wonders and gave him a cut that suits his face and makes him look his age, rather than years younger. I won’t say he didn’t need a minute to adjust to the change, but hours later he loves the cut and feels confident to start school.
Consuelo is incredibly skilled at her craft! I was preparing for my wedding day and after a miserable makeup trial with someone else, stumbling upon Consuelo's portfolio made me hopeful. Despite the short notice, she graciously squeezed me into her schedule and worked her magic. She helped me look and feel my best for my wedding day. On top of that, she's not just talented; she's also super friendly, totally professional, and actually listens to what you want. Consuelo is awesome, and if you want someone who'll make you feel gorgeous on your big day, please contact her -- TODAY! I highly recommend her!
I got a perm done by Nelly! She took great care of me and walked me through the whole process of what it is like to have permed hair. She was very knowledgeable in how to properly care for it and she gave me all the tips I needed to know! Nelly gave my hair layers and a trim then we proceeded to get the perm done. It came out great and it looks very close to the reference photos I showed her! I would most definitely recommend ⭐️
I had a lovely first appointment with Jessica Cowart. I get a pretty basic cut (basically I just get the ends of my long hair tapered). She was attentive to my pre-appointment notes and in-studio requests, and I'm super happy with the cut she gave me! Plus she was very friendly and pleasant to chat with. Studio is small and whimsical, loved the atmosphere.
Thank you for being so patient cutting my son Jacob hair you guys so sweet I love it he's hair cut he's looking so handsome
Personal attention, nice staff, good treatment. Appointment only. In quiet part of Alameda, across from Maya Lin School.
Living near the Bay has ramped up my hair curl more than it ever used to, but I honestly didn’t know how to work with it. I went into this Alameda salon for a simple trim focused on my natural texture, and it ended up feeling like real self-care rather than just a haircut. Jennifer and her daughter Maya (who does the shampooing and “noodling”) were both calm, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. They used clean, low-tox products that actually worked with my curls—no heaviness, no damage, just soft, bouncy definition that still felt like my hair. They also took the time to explain what they were doing and shared practical at-home tips, including a non-wash-day refresher routine that feels doable. The space itself is cozy and thoughtful—fresh tea, flavored water, little candies up front—and there’s even a sweet chihuahua mix (Nina) who’ll curl up in your lap if you’re open to it. It felt unhurried and genuinely caring. I only wish I could budget getting my hair washed and “noodled” more often. If you’re in the East Bay and have natural curls—or you’re just looking for low-tox products that actually perform—this place is a quiet little gem.
Second time going and had an excellent experience once again, explains the process and is very helpful with any questions or concerns, goes above and beyond:) and very creative and amazing attitude, look forward to coming back ?Specialties: Tooth gems
Awaken Lash is a very professional and well ran lash business that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for lashes in the East Bay. I have been a consistent customer for over a year and have had about 20 past appointments to speak to. Every single time it has been a pleasure! Not only does she do quality work, she is punctual, communicates clearly, is open to making adjustments and knows her industry well. Awaken is in a nice building with easy parking and has great amenities like clean restrooms and extra comfortable lash bed. Treat yourself to low maintenance lashes today!
Katie has been giving my hair foils for several years now. She is skilled with scissors and colors, and I can't believe I did not discover her sooner. I wasted 30 years driving to Marin County to have my hair done. I recommend her to anyone who wants quality.....and at a reasonable price too.
While visiting family in California, I wanted to go to a salon that had experience with Asian hair since I was planning a major transformation - from long hair to a bob. Kinuko was so friendly and made me feel completely comfortable and welcome from the start. She was fun to talk to, incredibly skilled, and I’m so happy I trusted her with this change. I love the cut and felt like myself again walking out. Highly recommend!
I have been coming to Tini for years and always receive compliments on how natural my extensions look. My lashes have survived backpacking trips, international work travel and many special occasion events. Service is quick, clean and affordable, would recommend to anyone looking to get extensions.
I've been coming here for at least 18 years. I LOVE this place! Maria is amazing and always has me happy when I leave the studio. I don't see myself going anywhere else.
Service is serene and professional. Very attentive to client skin needs. Relaxing background music inspires relaxation. Quiet highly skilled owner focuses on client needs in advance. Smooth serenity pervades the experience.
I got my facial and shirodhara done in sanjeevani beauty studio, it was amazing experience, definitely be back
Thank you sunita for your services
I've been getting facials with Chris for over a year now and I couldn't be happier to have her in charge of my skin care! Chris is knowledgeable in dealing with many different skin issues (acne, dark spots, dry skin) and I always walk out of her studio with that "snatched" face look. I love that Chris is always bringing the latest technology into her studio, now offering micro-derm and micro-current treatments. I feel like my skin has never looked better!
Love the services and personal care Laura takes when working with me. She is always very in-tune with what my skin needs. She's also improving on her skills and techniques which I can see/feel the benefits of on my skin. I would definitely recommend Laura to anyone looking to add self care into their routine. Thanks Laura!
There isn't enough time in a day to cover all the amazing things about Vita and Allure Skin Studio! There is no one I trust more with My skin than Vita! She is a skin master and spa magician with all the best tools, techniques, and technology in her bag! She is so knowledgeable and I have done every treatment with her from monthly facials, to deep peels, to slimming infrared sudatonic body wraps! Her space is so warm and intimate. Her energy is calm and honest. I would pick a spa day at Vita's Studio over any Treatment you would find in SF or Sonoma! Vita is in demand so prepare to book a few weeks/months in advance. Have patience, she is worth the wait!
I went to Viktoria only twice and it was a life/skin changing experience. She also introduced me to a few European skin care products that are so gentle and effective on my skin. My skin has gotten so much more clear since then and the acnes have disappeared!! She is very knowledgeable and pleasant. Thank you so much Viktoria! I will be back for more treatments :)
Chris is the best! I have been getting a facial a month, from her, for the past 3 years and so I know how good her facials are. I’m totally addicted and can’t live without them!!
Tkeyah is excellent. Been going to her for years and she is my preferred choice when it comes to waxing. She’s kind, quick and efficient. 10/10 would highly recommend
I had the “all pores go to heaven” facial and my skin is still glowing! You can tell Elena really cares about her craft and your skin! I felt very relaxed during my experience and her atmosphere is very homie. I would totally recommend!!
Quick and easy waxing experience! Had a Brazilian and lower back wax. I am very sensitive. She was very gentle and sweet. Will definitely be going back.
I had a wonderful experience! My waxer was incredibly personable and did a fantastic job. I always look for someone who provides a thorough wax while also having a great attitude, and she truly excelled in both areas. Highly recommend! The facility is also clean and well maintained!
Lovely place and lovely people who are great at what they do. I really enjoy coming here.

Gigi is The Best! She explains each potion she is applying and why. She said I’ve got sensitive skin - what? I never thought that but once she explained a few points it all made sense. Gigi has a firm touch and great technique. She is very professional and knowledgeable. So glad I tried her business. ?
Hax made all of my tattoo dreams come true ✨ So kind, communicative, caring, and clear - the entire process. Really works to make sure that you’re getting exactly what you want. Could not recommend more!
Hells yes this place is epic! Owner Eric Reed has like 40 years of tattooing! His designs are amazing and his smooth attitude keeps the shop really relaxed. Small location focusing on AMAZING tattoos. Highly recommend it for any style you may want.
I willI've been getting tattooed by Ricky since my 20s, and he always does an outstanding job. My cousin wanted to get a matching tattoo for her birthday, so we both decided to go to Ricky. He's an incredibly skilled artist and has the patience to ensure that his clients are happy with their work. I’m excited to come back for my cover-up!
While attempting to modify my irrigation system, I ended up breaking the heavily corroded old galvanized line to my house. I was able to patch it but needed a professional fix quickly. Angel from Big Brothers plumbing came out the very next morning, provided me a reasonable estimate, and started the work that same day. And when it turned out they didn’t need to replace some of the pipe that had been earmarked for replacement, Angel was honest about it and saved me a couple thousand dollars. That kind of integrity you don’t see often. They finished the job in few hours and did great work. Shout out to Luis and Ruben as well. Highly recommend these guys, they are great people!
I just think it's great that I can finally call a plumber and not have to worry about the "how" when you get down to the basics. Plumbing Heroes: Alameda came to my house and had the job done in less than a few hours! It was great talking to them and they were very professional. The job was completed and there wasn't any damage to our building or property, which is always a relief on a big project like that one. Thanks to this plumber Alameda´s job!Service: Toilet installation
Great technician, knew what he was doing, nice.
Company charges too much for service
AT Weber has always been a favorite go to business of ours considering their professional experience with all things plumbing and heating. Our guest 1/2 bath was making some strange noise after flushing waste and decided to pay them an in person visit. After our visit and explaining our issue we setup an appointment to have it looked at. After the technician arrived and realized the toilet unit just needed a makeover with new parts we were very satisfied again. Keep up the excellent work AT Weber you Rock! The Bianchi's
Best electrician I've ever worked with! He's installed an EV charger, an electrical panel, and done other smaller jobs.
He's a very clear communicator, gives honest and accurate bids, and I know he will 100% do the right and safe thing. He's a master at finding studs and his work on installing boxes on a plaster wall was perfect.
T.E.C. managed the electrical work for a detached, new construction ADU in our backyard. It was definitely more substantial work than more regular, minor electrical projects, but I was very pleased with the experience. There was good communication about various issues/questions that arose, the team was great about soliciting our input and double-checking to make sure they got details right.
Russel and his colleague were on time, thorough, reasonable price, and a pleasure to work with. They did a fantastic job!! I would recommend them anytime.
Mark is so quick and thorough and easy to work with. We have two dogs so our couch and rugs were *rough* when he arrived. He did a bang up job - we will def be hiring him again.
I have been using cleaning services for a long time and this is by far my favorite! They don't use chemicals, but they use high temperatures to clean my house. They steam clean all my home, making it feel super clean and safe. They are very reliable and always on time. They provided me with my own towels, they always use gloves, shoe covers and masks. I really like their service. Highly recommend it!
They are a welcome presence in the household as they go about their cleaning.
Hiring them for our living room makeover was the best decision! They were easy to work with, responsive, and brought greet ideas to table. The transformation is stunning, and we couldn't be happier!
Collins Remodeling turned our closed-off 70s-style kitchen into a bright, open space that ties in perfectly with the rest of the home. They expanded the layout with an extension, reconfigured all the utilities, and helped us pick durable, stylish materials. I appreciated that they handled permits directly and explained every major decision. Their team worked well together, stayed flexible, and found quick solutions whenever we needed some changes. The remodel went on smoothly, and we couldn’t be happier.
I recommend this company & George. They are Knowledgeable and do quality work.
Jameson construction is one of the best construction sites in Alameda the work that he does is tremendously obvious that he knows what he's doing I would recommend him to all my friends and family to his contracting business I have seen his work over and over and over again I have been living here and Alameda since 1972 and I've seen a lot of contractors come and go but I know that Jameson's contracting is here to stay if you need any kind of contracting done please contact Jameson construction I would give him 20 Stars if I could yours truly William j Johnson
Saarman Construction is a very responsive contractor. They have bid many of my projects and provided consultations as their own cost. A Saarman project is a job well done!
Winn is the most patient guy I know... he would listen to you and have this can-do attitude to solve the problems at hand. His sense of humor disarms tense situations... definitely a recommend!
This was my first time remodeling my condo (or any property) and I couldn't be happier with my experience with Isaam Construction. They were thorough, skilled, and had a big emphasis on quality and communication that I really appreciated.
Abraham was my onsite manager and he was... actually onsite! He was very kind about answering all my questions and providing recommendations where needed. He was very patient when I needed time to figure things out, and honest when things needed change. He'd often FaceTime me to excitedly show progress updates and when he had questions or ideas.
I'm often anxious about doing home updates and tend to go the DIY route. Javier, the team's tile expert, really convinced me that sometimes a professional is just better. I had my bathroom remodeled and I still smile at how well the tile is laid EVERY TIME I SHOWER. I definitely can't say the same about all the personal projects I've tiled in the past.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable process and I would absolutely hire them again!
I wanted an Alumawood patio cover with ceiling fans, and Taylor Patios did a great job. They helped me choose the right style and other important details. The team handled everything from permits to installation. Thank you!!
ReviewThis review has been long overdue! Our house project started just before COVID and involved pretty much remodeling our entire house on the inside. Little did we know that because of COVID, our project would take longer than expected. Despite all the COVID delays, we loved the final results. I would say as far our experience with P.K. Remodeling, Piotr is probably one of the most genuine, reasonable, honest contractors out there. His team were good guys too. He was very chill, easy to work with, took care of everything behind the scenes with the city, and surprisingly reachable. We had a leak from the outside due from the rain and siding (unrelated to the inside project) and called him late at night when we got home from a vacation to notice there water seeping through the wall prior to him installing the floors. He actually replied and had his guys look at it immediately the next day and fixed our leak. When there were issues, as there always inevitably is some with home remodeling, he worked with us to pivot with new creative ideas/solutions. Although my husband and I are fairly picky in our design choices, he was honest in what he felt would look good for our home, so there was some healthy debate in certain situations. Piotr was adamant that we have lights under our waterfall kitchen counter. We were hesitant at first, but he was right, and now it's one of the favorite characteristics of our kitchen. One time, he happened to be at the same tile store as we were. We were having some trouble deciding on trim borders, he kindly joined us in conversation with the designer, but was gently insistent that the white trim edge liners looked much better than the metal that was considered. Again, he was right. All in all, this process was not without its challenges and stress, but it made it so much easier just to work with an all around good human!
I am extremely satisfied with Burge Pest Control. I had a big problem with rats in my garage and two of my neighbors also had a problem. Burge worked with all of us in getting the problem resolved. Every time I needed them to come to my home I was able to make an appointment that was convenient for me. The experts sent to me did a fantastic job each time and also answered questions I had and offered suggestions as well. I truly have a lot of respect for them and the assistance they provide. They are the best!
We have had an on and off rat problem over the past couple of years. Marichal quickly took care of that. He also handled the proofing where they had been accessing our property. Overall Marichal was professional, timely, and thorough. It was definitely a pleasure having him on the job. His pricing is very reasonable as well. We had several estimates of the job prior to hiring him. The others were literally thousands of dollars more. And he was able to take care of the job at a fraction of those other estimates. I couldn't recommend Marichal more for any rat issues you may have!
Dr. Pieda and Emily are a great team. Emily will usually get you situated for the Doctor and Dr. Pieda takes care of the adjustment. He is good at determining what needs help and working on the issue.
#bdayseason2025 - HEALTH A wonderful treat of my birthday season was an unexpected referral to the Clinton Chiropractic. Dr. Reyes' technique combines electric stimulation with massage gun as needed, before making the hands-on adjustment. I noticed results within a few visits, with lingering improvements to my wrist & shoulders. His relaxed, personable manner doesn't hurt either!
I just had my first appointment with Dr Chris Galeotti after a gym injury involving my low back. Dr Galeotti and Geri (massage therapist l) are both very knowledgeable in weight lifting, proper form and kinesiology and it was a relief to know they could both empathize and sympathize with my pain and level of weight lifting. This first visit has relieved 90% of my pain already, even though I am still a little sore and tender as expected, I can move and sit much easier! I don’t think I will ever stop seeking care from them to stay in proper alignment!
I have been going to chiropractor’s for over two decades for my scoliosis and strenuous physical work activity and I have never come across such a thorough experience as I have with Catherine from Vitalogy Chiropractic, I am always greeted with warm and positive energy and asked thorough, thoughtful questions pertaining to my physical state. Not only does she integrate Massage but I love her moving table that stretches you out as well as a tens machine she offers. She maintains a great schedule and has fit me in with cancellations and other times when I needed it most I really appreciate how she has helped me heal from pain and injuries and kept my physical shape tiptop so I can continue to work to the best of my abilities. She has also been very understanding with my children sometimes having to come with me to a session and is very sweet and caring to them as guests. I highly recommend Vitalogy Chiropractic to anyone and everyone is coming to this amazing facility has really changed my life for the better. I hope your experience is as incredible as mine is. I look forward to continuing to come regularly for years to come. If you need to maintain a healthy lifestyle, this is the place to come to.
Dr. Clo and Taiiane are exceptional at their work! Their staff is friendly; the facility is pleasant, relaxing, and clean; and best of all: they always fix me!
I've gotta say that I've come twice for major things to Dr. Davis. And both times he cured me one time it was for a back issue. I had over a long period of time and it took about six sessions till I was fine. The other time I went in there with something that hurt my knee for a couple months, and he fixed it in one visit.
My first visit to Dr. Basco's clinic was 2011 when I was looking for a chiropractor for my neck adjustment that cause tingling and pain in my fingers. The machine decompression is very helpful to align my whole spine. I feel a little taller every time my spine was stretched. I also
brought my two kids for spine adjustment. Love the frontal water view of the clinic and lots of parking space. Dr. Basco is kind and attentive to the patients need.
Dear Dr., Sevin,I hope All is well. This is to thank you for your wonderful adjustments work on my spine. I feel great and can play golf and play with my granddaughter with ease and comfort. I hope that all your patients are as appreciative of your work as I am.Warm Regards and see you soon, Matt
Went for a 90 min massage then Red light therapy. As cliche as it may sound…. I feel like a new man! I threw my back out almost three weeks ago and just NEEDED a massage. Bobbie is the best! I love her! The Red Light Therapy afterwards was super cool….or should I say WARM. It’s great. It’s like a warm bath after a full body massage. Can’t wait for my new session….
Dr. Wong is amazing! He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and super skilled at what he does.
Great service for an emergency visit for our cat. Friendly staff, caring and competent vet., and able to get her routine shot (scheduled for a couple of days later) done all at the same visit.
Thank you!
The vets & the staff are very sensitive and were incredibly kind and accommodating when my late dog was very sick, even when things got a little gross. They also gave so many treats & cuddles to my puppy during vaccinations that she truly loves going to the vet, even after seeing her brother so sick there. They seem a little pricey but it’s worth it to me.
Had a deep pressure body work with was great she focused on my problem areas while still getting the benefits of a full body massage thank you. Place is very welcoming with they way she set up the entrance
I'm so grateful to Felix's knowledge you will see results for sure.
We booked a day with two massage therapists with Sowa/Kneon Wellness to treat our teachers and staff during Educator Appreciation Week. They were very helpful and patient with me as we had a lot of logistics to work out. I also found their rates to be very reasonable. Day of the massages, the therapists both arrived on time to set up. Both were very friendly and gave amazing chair massages. They made many teachers happy that day. It was a big hit! I know that if/when we book massages for our teachers again, we will be using Kneon Wellness.
Alison has extraordinary talent and knowledge. She can intuit which muscles are sore and which related muscles also need work, plus she also knows how to get at all those muscles. I've followed her to 3-4 locations now.
John's treatment to help with my bulging discs and sciatic nerve pain has been the best therapy I have received. His knowledge of the body has taken the results past what I expected was possible, touching on other issues I've long accepted as normal and increased my range of motion tremendously. I feel very lucky to have found him and his approach to body work.
Kristin is an incredible masseuse! Every time I go in for a massage I leave feeling like I have new arms and legs. Before the session starts, she listens to understand your problem areas, and then focuses her massage time working through them. Highly recommend!
Jessica is a true healer. I had been suffering with vertigo for 6 weeks. Usually my acupuncturist fixes me up straight away but after a month of twice weekly appointments, it was still hanging on. I tried Jessica after reading up on lymphatic drainage massage. She not only did that but also incorporated craniosacral & sounds vibrational healing. I was incoherent & out of it after the session. Jessica took care of me afterwards while waiting for my husband to pick me up. Once home, I slept for 2 hours. When I woke up, it was the first time in 6 weeks I felt normal! My vertigo was gone, fogginess lifted and I felt completely balanced. My husband & I were amazed. If you’ve ever had vertigo, you know it can be debilitating (it was for me) so to experience feeling normal again was incredible. My experience with Jessica was life altering. I cannot recommend her enough. She is exceptional.
First time seeing Raul for knee and carpal tunnel pain. He was very professional and communicative. The biggest difference I noticed was improvement with my sleep (I was also experiencing insomnia for about a month). I’ve had the best sleep since my session. I also felt relief in my arm (where I experience carpal tunnel), as well as overall release of tension in the upper body. Will be scheduling regular monthly sessions. The space was also very comfortable, easy to find, and plenty of parking.
Erin is a miracle worker. Her hands are fantastic. This is a clean and classy joint. Everything here is immaculate and Erin's service is flawless. I have issues with my shoulders and Erin was able to get in there and make me feel fantastic. What a relief. She has the ability to surgically adjust pressure and MD-level knowledge of anatomy. The going rate here is about $145/hour, which is cheap for a top-notch massage therapist.
I have rarely met anyone who is as good at anything as Joan is at massage therapy. Seriously, she is incredible. I've been going to her for a few years, and she has really helped me with some chronic pain issues.
Baby is incredibly sweet and did a wonderful chair massage on me today ending with some wonderfull streches. As a bodyworker myself I was impressed by her skill and she clearly has a great deal of passion for her work do and this was an amazing way to wrap up my work week! Highly recommend!
I went in with a few muscle aches. I left feeling amazing and extremely relaxed. I tried a two hour massage for the first time (didn't know that was even available). I don't think I'll ever go back to a one hour or even one and a half hour massage. Wow. What a difference that extra half hour made. I got checked in and taken to my room very quickly. Then Shelly worked wonders, while respecting the parameters I put down on my check-in form and also occasionally checking in with me during the massage to make sure I was okay with what she was doing. I'll be back.
A great place to do some self care. The service is always amazing. Melvi has truly helped transform my skin. She creates such a calming and welcoming atmosphere during your treatment.
I had my first acupuncture and cupping session at Good Witch Wellness & Apothecary in Alameda with Sarah North, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, Sarah made me feel completely at ease...she’s warm, genuinely caring, and took the time to really listen to my (very lengthy!) health and wellness history. She even researched my specific concerns, including a detached vitreous and ongoing TMJ pain, before our appointment.
Throughout the entire process, Sarah explained what she was doing, why she was doing it, and how each tool worked, which made me feel informed and comfortable. Her attention to detail and personal approach are rare to find, and I’m so excited to continue working with her on my wellness journey. Highly recommend!
Kim is thorough when preparing to massage the body. I would recommend her to anyone who’s having problems with aches and pains, or just needing to relax. Looking forward to my next appointment.
Jen is a fantastic acupuncture practitioner, herbalist, and person who is going to get you feeling better. I've been to many acupuncturists and none have left me feeling as good as she has, or given as much useful and insightful information. She even helped me lower my blood pressure significantly with herbs when a decade of western medication and exercise failed
Really great place, personable and professional. Rebecca is so thorough and passionate about her treatments.The billing/scheduling staff are also so efficient and friendly. I always leave here feeling better and so relaxed!
I had an injury on my left foot that was making running or even walking fast difficult. Also I had chronic injuries/pains resulting from training for long-distance triathlons (Ironman; an 140.6 miles race) on my right shoulder and the right side of my back. Tina’s treatment has been amazing! To the point that she has earned a nickname in my household - “the Magician with Needles”!Details of my condition: (1) Injury: something dropped on my left foot. As it happened right after my Ironman World Championship race, I did not care - I was not doing much of my training. I thought that the pain would disappear by itself. Then months passed, and the pain persisted. Moreover, I realized that the NERVES on my left foot are a LITTLE NUMB. So, when I tried to run a higher mileage at my tempo pace, my left foot was less responsive after a 6-7 miles. Also, TAKING STEPS the following few days were quite difficult.(2) Chronic pain: I almost entirely breathe on one side while swimming, especially if I am doing long difficult sessions. Also, when I am holding the aero position on my time-trial bike, I inadvertently tighten one side of my upper body - this becomes especially true if I am doing hard intervals and/or doing >2-3 hours of training. Consequence: chronic dull pain on my shoulder and my back. This results in debilitating pain during later phases of a race. This was seriously hampering my sleep after long rides (which is bread-and-butter for Ironman trainings).Treatment: I had gone through extensive acupuncture treatments before the pandemic for chronic pains - thanks to my health insurance! They worked, but the results were not even close to Tina’s treatments. I went to Tina, in the beginning of Dec, 2022. After three sessions, my foot injury was completely solved! In fact, after the very first session, I was incredulous with the results! The same goes for the chronic pain on my shoulder - that I have been living with for several years now. That too was gone! I was very confident that as I start doing “red mist swim sessions” in new years, the shoulder pain would come back - it kind of did, but only to 10-20% intensity compared to what it used to be. And that was relieved after one session with Tina in Jan, 2023. Now, she has started working on the chronic pain on my right lower back - and I am experiencing her magic already.In summary, my condition was a sudden injury and one from muscle overuses from sports. Tina’s acupuncture treatment resolved both issues unbelievably well (better than physios and sports massages).
Tracy is fantastic, for so many reasons! I came to Island Acupuncture for fertility support, once we decided to expand our family with baby #2. I had never gotten acupuncture before, and I'm so grateful to have found Tracy. It took us 7 months to conceive our first child (within average but still grueling!), so at the young age of 36 I wanted to do all I could to improve our chances with baby #2. So to Island Acupuncture I went!Long story short - We got pregnant on our very first try! I started weekly sessions with Tracy about 3 months before we planned to start trying, to prepare my body for a healthy conception and pregnancy. We weren't expecting it to happen right away, but we conceived on our first attempt after 3 months of treatment! I'm now 24 weeks along and have since moved away from Alameda, but I definitely would have continued with Tracy through the pregnancy if I could.In addition to acupuncture, I got so much more than I expected out of the experience. Tracy demonstrates such kindness and empathy in her treatment, seeking to understand not only your physical needs/concerns but also the emotional side. She takes time to help you understand what she's doing and why, and went above and beyond to advise on my holistic fertility journey - not just the acupuncture and herbal supplements she provided. She recommended a free fertility app to track temperature, ovulation, and menstrual symptoms, and took time before each session to review that week's chart and help me better understand my own reproductive system. I also appreciate that she never claimed her tools were the definitive answer to fertility - she was honest and research-driven in her approach, often explaining that these were simply drops in a larger bucket, contributing to a healthier reproductive cycle. She's a kind and brilliant practitioner and I cannot recommend her more!
Dr. Amenti is the best! Not only is she one of the kindest humans on the planet but she also has a Master's in Acupuncture. Her specialty is pain management. She has helped me to heal a multitude of ailments quickly. That's why I keep coming back and referring her to all of my friends! They let me know with huge smiles on their faces, how great their experience was as well. Highly recommend this wise woman.
This is an overdue review but I just want to share my experience & how thankful I am to Jacob. I've heard that accupuncture could help with conceiving, which had been an ultimate goal of mine for some years. After going to Jacob last November 2021, I decided to get his package deal it was 5 or 6 sessions for a great price. I explained to Jacob I was there for both some should pain as well as trying to conceive. He focuse on points that would help both. Every session was so relaxing, I'd go on my lunch break and come back to work so refreshed yet also sleepy. LoL anyways my last session with Jacob was early/mid January 2022 and I ended up conceiving at the end of February! Coincidence? I think not, doing accupuncture took so much stress off my body that I truly believe that it helped me to conceive. I can't thank Jacob enough & would recommend him to anybody. I plan to see him again in the future whether it's during or after my pregnancy.
I was in bad shape with a chronic neck problem and I called Dr Lam's office. He said I could come right away. He performed Acupuncture magic on me and that night was the first night I was able to sleep in a week! Highly Recommended.
Melissa is the best acupuncturist I’ve ever been to. She really listens and has helped me so much. I highly recommend her.
Dr.Men is one of the best acupuncturists in the bay area. She has a lifetime of expertise from her training in China that she brought over to the U.S. She also teaches acupuncture, sharing her decades of knowledge. She cares deeply about every patient, and thinks through their issues. She has managed my auto-immune issues and chronic fatigue, keeping me healthy. She is kind, expert, never rushes, with affordable fees (The one outlier review seems very out of left field)
Great service got me there and gave great feedback which allowed me to pass on my first attempt
Beginner Class
Negatives: On their website when scheduling available classes it lists the range as 707 w. hornet, that is NOT the address, the address is 650 w. ticonderoga. The bikes may take some finessing when it comes to clutch friction zone and finding N
Positives: My instructors were Eric, Anthony, James, all top-notch instructors with patience, humor, and good knowledge to learn motorcycles and basic riding skills.
Overall: Some people in my class it was their first time riding a motorcycle, I thought it was awesome to see them learn, I myself learned some things and I've been riding for a while just never had a M1. Do not think this class is a shoo-in to get your M1, if the instructors feel you will not be safe on the streets yet they will not pass you, they really want the students to grasp the basic concepts that may indeed save your life one day.
