The Right Place For Finding The Right Pros Near You!
My family and I have been going to Dr. Dughman for a few years now, and we have always had a great experience. The entire staff is very skilled, and their approach is appropriate both for my daughter’s age and for me, since I’ve always been terrified of the dentist!!!
In fact, I’ve always struggled even with a regular teeth cleaning, and Dr. Polly is incredibly gentle and attentive, I really appreciate that.
Jet Black Tint is quality and reliable, especially this Alameda location. I've had 3 of our vehicles done here, they all have been amazing and never had any problems. And even if you do, lifetime warranty. I generally recommend all my relatives and friends to here, they have a variety of tints as well for you to choose. Service is great, the boss is easy to communicate with. Definitely Recommended.
I had a great experience with Nai at Acne Specialists of Alameda! She is super friendly and knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable right away by asking what problem areas I was hoping to work on. She explains what will help with my concerns and is encouraging without making me feel scolded about my admittedly bad skincare habits. The treatment was really thorough (she asked about ALL the products I use - including my hair care!) and relaxing (I fell asleep during the red light therapy). She took the time to answer my questions and we even talked about some trendy skin care products/gadgets (she was down to earth about them and I really trusted her knowledge when it came to knowing what was -and wasn't- worth the expense and effort). When I say she was thorough, I should mention that toward the end the session, she noticed that I had a little dryness around my lip area and took the extra time to put a moisturizing treatment on my lips - you have to appreciate a girly that won't let you walk out with ashy lips! I leave feeling glowy, refreshed, and excited that we can achieve the skin I've been yearning for. Thank you so much Nai - I'm so thankful we have you here in Alameda now!
Demi's Beauty Boutique is a great place for you to relax with great service! My first time experiencing this cozy and relaxing nail studio. Plus, the service was great, and the job was wonderful. I will definitely come back to try the pedicure. Highly recommend!
Reliable service!
Able to reach someone when needed
Truly a lifesaver!!!
I had a wonderful massage with Gerri. She was so good with going deep within my muscles, but doing it with great care. You can tell she knows the body and what she is doing. I would highly recommend Gerri. I really look forward to returning!
Very professional… results were amazing and I was complimented by my coworkers often!!! Definitely would recommend this spot!!!!
Found David through a local FB post and inquired to have some paint correction work done, as well as liquid PPF and ceramic coating. Needless to say I am speechless with the results.
David was communicative and enthusiastic through the whole process, keeping me updated on where the car was and what step he was on. Even on pickup, he was able to square an away a few small nitpicks of mine without any fuss.
I highly recommend David simply for how meticulous he is with his work.
Marisa was great! She was very friendly. Experience was easy, location was convenient (there's parking). Highly recommended and will be going back!
Cindy is the best! Her designs are so pretty, and she takes great care to make sure you're happy throughout the entire process -- from the design to placement to tattooing itself. She was incredibly kind when I asked for changes to my design and helped me find something that I love. Also, my tattoo from her over 1.5yrs ago is aging really well and looks amazing still! No touch-ups needed. 10/10 recommend Cindy!
I had given up on gel manicures, since they would start peeling after a week.
I'm SO happy a friend told me about Nomi. The gel builder manicures are perfect. Not only do I finally have nails that will grow, my color lasts an entire month! Highly recommend!
Emma did a wonderful job on my hair. I gave her an idea of what I wanted and she knew exactly what I needed. Will definitely return.
I have been going here for a few months and I really like the place. Clean, even a bit fancy. They are great at everyone's styles and I mean everyone's. I've never had a bad experience / everyone is super friendly. When I moved here I wondered how long it would take to find a good shop. Feel grateful the first place I tried was great.
Christinarose did my wifes hair and the service was Wonderful. Great place and awesome customer service. Highly recommend!
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!!
Marlo at Studio M has been my hairdresser for over 25 years. She kept me looking professional with stylish cuts and color for years while I was working. Since I've retired, she has still kept me looking current with my gray hair cut in fun, short, sassy styles.
Marlo is always happy to take time to show me different ways to style a new cut or show me how different hair products can create a new exciting look. She's very knowledgeable about her profession and knows how to cut and style your hair to enhance your features.
The salon is lovely and inviting, and Marlo is a gem. She's smart, interesting, caring, and always fun to talk to. I highly recommend Marlo at Studio M!
Emma did a wonderful job on my hair. I gave her an idea of what I wanted and she knew exactly what I needed. Will definitely return.
Today my mom and I came in to get her a full-head gray coverage and return her hair to a preferred state of warm brown. Rose sat down with us and listened to what she wanted, then got straight to taking care of business. The color job and cut was transformative for my mom, and Rose was even able to give me a quick refresh razor cut while my mom's color was processing. Her workflow was intuitive and her handling of her tools was so professional, she clearly knows what she's doing and works from a place of experience when caring for clients. Neither my mom nor I had ever come to this salon before, and we had just booked the appointment the previous night. All I can say is that Rose really held down the floor and knew how to approach us. Her handling of the service was extremely professional, as well as personable, warm, and honest. My mom was looking for this hair transformation to be a much-needed boost for her self esteem, and it couldn't have gone better. Sometimes a trip to the salon can intersect with a crucial and sensitive personal moment, and it means so much when someone like Rose shows up at the right time to really deliver a positive outcome. Thank you x10!!
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.
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!
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.
I booked a balayage appointment at Crop Salon for my wife’s birthday, and it turned out to be such a great experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and professional, making her feel special on her day.
Jessie did an amazing job with the balayage—she took the time to understand exactly what my wife wanted and delivered beautiful, natural-looking results. The color was blended perfectly and her hair looked healthy and stunning.
My wife absolutely loved her hair and left feeling confident and happy, which made the birthday even more special. Highly recommend Crop Salon and Jessie for anyone looking for high-quality balayage and a great overall experience.
Christinarose did my wifes hair and the service was Wonderful. Great place and awesome customer service. Highly recommend!
I had an exceptional experience at the Total Package Salon. Gina is truly talented and delivered exactly what I wanted after I showed her a picture. The salon is located in a charming area and has an airy atmosphere with plenty of natural light. The music was bomb as well, and really added to the overall experience. If you're looking for a new hairstylist, I highly recommend Gina. She is super sweet! She won't disappoint
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!
Ora is incredibly professional, compassionate, and genuinely kind. Since moving back to the Bay (3 years ago) from LA, I hadn't been able to find a loctician that can do my hair. So my locs had experienced a lot of breakage and uneven parting. A friend referred me to Ora, and I truly couldn't be happier with the results.
She went above and beyond and completely brought my locs back to life!Thank you for your hard work, beautiful energy, and care during my appointment. I'm so honored to be a new client
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!
That was honestly dope. I had the best transformation from Al. I cut off my long hair and turned it into a short layered mullet. The shop was cool. The team had really been vibing to good music and they were totally willing to work with what I had to say.
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 ✂️
I have been going here for a few months and I really like the place. Clean, even a bit fancy. They are great at everyone's styles and I mean everyone's. I've never had a bad experience / everyone is super friendly. When I moved here I wondered how long it would take to find a good shop. Feel grateful the first place I tried was great.
Erick is such a genuine person and an amazing barber! I would highly recommend him to anybody who needs a haircut.
Jaryd got me right. Great shop, great cut and great conversation. ????
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.
My go to spot! Brad is my guy. He listens and gives me exactly what I want. I always leave feeling and looking good. He does clean fresh shaves too. True gentleman barber. Highly recommend.
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. :):)
I had a great experience. I got here a little late, but they accommodated my time. The staff was friendly and it was nice and clean here. I love my nails
The best nail salon!!! The best nail art, biosculpture, price for all her talent! Makes you feel so comfortable ? ✨️ I totally recommend ? ☺️
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.
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.
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
My favorite place for a pedicure. The peaceful, private, and serene environment, and Trang's lovely care make it like a little retreat.
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—-
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. ♥️
Best nail place I've been to in a long time. Kim is so personable, she makes her customers feel valued!!
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!
I had a keratin lash lift and brow shaped today by Tran. She is an absolute professional who takes care in optimizing my natural hair and enhancing my beauty. The salon doesn’t have much of a “store front” since it tucked away on the second floor, but it’s clean, comfortable and welcoming. Highly recommended for all sorts of brow, lash and waxing beautification.
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!
Paula at happy lashes is the best!! I have been coming since 2018 and I am so grateful for her service. It’s always so quick and the lashes last a long time!
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.
Thanh is seriously amazing ? She’s the sweetest, most professional lash tech and gets my lash lift absolutely perfect. She pays so much attention to detail, makes the whole appointment feel relaxing and comfortable, and my lashes always come out lifted, clean, and exactly how I want them. I trust her completely with my lashes and always leave feeling so pretty. Couldn’t recommend her enough ?
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!
Can’t beat the price for a haircut, wash, and hot towel. Plus they’ll pump your tires the whole time. I always leave with an extra pep in my step
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 ⭐️
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.
Demi's Beauty Boutique is a great place for you to relax with great service! My first time experiencing this cozy and relaxing nail studio. Plus, the service was great, and the job was wonderful. I will definitely come back to try the pedicure. Highly 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.
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!
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
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!
Shelly is great. Started getting 30 min facial every 6 weeks. I appreciate that she's willing to work within my budget and pacing. So far I'm adding or refilling a recommended product with each visit. The sessions are relaxing and my skin feels much better.
I’ve never gotten my eyebrows threaded before and she was so nice and careful when doing them. The place is super clean and the price is amazing. I really had nothing to be afraid of, I highly recommend!
Chris has now been apart of my wellness journey for over 15 years! She is kind and professional. Her facials are amazing and I love taking Pilates at her new studio!! Overall 5+ stars! ?
Rarely do I write reviews, but Viktoria’s facials NEED to be talked about! I’ll preface this by saying I had acne for 17 years and had gone to many estheticians and dermatologists. Some got me sort of close to the results I wanted but nobody has gotten my skin to clear up this much! Viktoria is amazing as are the products she uses. They’re super high quality and I personally love the smell of them. I will be a consistent customer of Skin Glow for as long as I live in L.A!!! Seriously if you were looking for a sign to book her this is it :)
Jacqui is an extremely talented masseuse... she is creative, skilled, and explains things beautifully.
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!
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!!
I hadn’t gotten waxed in the past couple years but still had wax passes (they never expire so might as well use them). Andrea was so sweet and kind, and FAST. She even had time to tweeze out the stubborn short hairs. She was a great person to have while I got back into waxing regularly. Thank you Andrea!
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.
Marisa was great! She was very friendly. Experience was easy, location was convenient (there's parking). Highly recommended and will be going back!
Natalie has been The best waxer I’ve ever experienced. She’s Very good at her craft Gentle and pays attention to your individual needs! Thank you, Natalie
I’ve been a loyal Secret Garden customer for years. Carrie the owner has created a beautiful, unique sanctuary for skincare & massage. Her facials use the latest treatments and I’m glowing for days after my session. She is a massage therapist as well and you won’t regret trying this place. Plus they sell plants, and beautiful home items.
I had a great experience with Nai at Acne Specialists of Alameda! She is super friendly and knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable right away by asking what problem areas I was hoping to work on.

I leave feeling glowy, refreshed, and excited that we can achieve the skin I've been yearning for. Thank you so much Nai - I'm so thankful we have you here in Alameda now!
Melvi's place was clean and organized, and her attitude was extremely professional. As an everyday man, I rarely think of getting a facial. However, I would highly recommend booking an appointment at Beauty in Metamorphosis.
My face feels brand new!
I highly recommend Gigi! She gives wonderful, clearly articulated treatments and MASSAGE! She is knowledgeable and her space is warm and inviting. I will be returning!
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!
Cindy is the best! Her designs are so pretty, and she takes great care to make sure you're happy throughout the entire process -- from the design to placement to tattooing itself. She was incredibly kind when I asked for changes to my design and helped me find something that I love. Also, my tattoo from her over 1.5yrs ago is aging really well and looks amazing still! No touch-ups needed. 10/10 recommend Cindy!
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!
Big Brothers Plumbing replaced the galvanized water service main to our house after it developed a leak. It was a big job that involved trenching the front yard to expose and remove the old line, tunneling underneath the driveway and sidewalks, and repiping the entire water line. Angel and his team responded promptly, understanding that we were completely without water. They managed the permit process and completed the work in one day. While they were working, a neighbor reached out to say that he had worked with Big Brothers before and congratulated us saying we had 'found the right plumber for the job.' The city permit inspector knew them by name and approved their work right away, saying it looked good as always. Oh and Big Brothers' bill came in at less than 1/3 of the other (corporate) plumber's bid. I guess if you're local and you know, then you know. This is the first call and best call to make when you need a plumber or gas pipefitter.
Scott is an excellent plumber and provided truly top-notch service. He came highly recommended by **Styles Bath & Kitchen**, and it was clear right away why they trust his work. From the first call to the completed job, Scott was professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable.
He arrived on time, clearly explained the issue, and efficiently repaired our **Hansgrohe faucet** with great attention to detail. The quality of his workmanship was outstanding, and he made sure everything was functioning perfectly before leaving. He also kept the workspace clean and treated our home with care.
If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled plumber, Scott is the one to call. His pricing was fair, his communication was excellent, and the results exceeded our expectations. We will absolutely use Scott again for any future plumbing needs and highly recommend him to anyone searching for a trusted local plumber.
Great technician, knew what he was doing, nice.
Company charges too much for service
These guys are consummate pros. They updated my claw foot tub and the work is first class. Book with confidence.
I gave a call to cleaner carpet to come out and clean my carpets Russell and his helper came on time they moved all the equipment that needed to be in the house did the job and they did a great job I will definitely use them again they were both very friendly and professional I did a great job looking forward to using them again thanks Russell.
Mark is very easy and nice to deal with, and his prices are very fair. He does not use a lot of loud equipment and hoses like other services. Your rugs won’t get soaked. He works by hand where necessary. Everything smelled clean and fresh when he was done, and there is a visible difference in the rugs - they look more vibrant and perked up.
Made me feel so good walking outta there. They were so nice and really helped me ouut with a tough spot that just wouldnt come out anywhere else... definately goin back.
They are a welcome presence in the household as they go about their cleaning.
Tom and crew did an excellent job start to finish. They worked with us to figure out our requirements, and made the actual construction process stress-free. Our project involved some new construction and some repair to an existing wall that was leaking, and the team took great care of us.
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
I recommend this company & George. They are Knowledgeable and do quality work.
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.
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!
#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!
First class! Always very warm and pleasant people to work with. Dr. Chris is the master at getting me all straightened up!
Highly recommended.
Dr. Miller is prompt, skilled and knowledgeable. Figured my issues out quickly and correctly. he had me feeling better in just a couple of visits. He uses some new tools and tech that are new to me. They are working!!
I’ve been coming here over a year and I can say I am fully satisfied I came in not able to walk with nerve pain and the doctor Chris helped me moving again, it’s amazing the work he does there I recommend this to everyone. Just after one session I felt so much better!!!! He has a great team behind him.
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.
Started as her student, stayed as her patient. If you are looking for rack & crack chiropractic, this is not the place for you. Dr. Lau takes her time and methodically analyzes the body to such a degree you would think she doesn't do anything else with her time, and smiles while doing it. My favorite part. The whole office is an experience from reception to end, and if you're looking for a Doctor that truly puts patient first... this IS the place for you.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Dufour for about a month now and it’s been such a good experience so far. I sit for about 12 hours a day for work, which has really messed with my back, shoulders and overall tightness.
He actually takes the time to figure out what’s going on instead of just doing a quick adjustment and sending you on your way. We’ve been working on a plan using the spinal decompression machine along with myofascial massage.
The decompression has helped take some pressure off, and the massage work has been great for loosening up really tight areas from all the sitting. I feel like we’re actually working toward long-term results.
Definitely recommend if you’re looking for someone who really pays attention and creates a plan that works for you.
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
feels like coming home every time i walk in. been coming here for years and they still take such good care of me. already looking forward to my next visit
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….
Nice facility. Easy access. Adequate, professional, friendly staff.
Highly recommend.
Our bunny Lady Gray always receives excellent care from Dr. McCaughan and the staff.
I took my in-law's dog here for nail trimming. It was overgrown for years. Vets tried and failed, they said he got too aggressive. He went crazy to anyone who tried. Then we tried this place since it's local. Within about 5 minutes, all nails were trimmed. No aggression from the dog. Amazing. I forgot the groomer's name, but he has this calming aura with dogs. I'll call him dog whisperer.
This studio has really helped my pain and sciatica. The community is so welcoming and I’m obsessed with the plants.
I have been coming to Symetry for about 3 months. I have severe scoliosis. I am 60 years old. I came with lots of lower back pain, including sciatica pain on my whole left leg. I was unable to hike or mountain bike without pain. But now with treatment and getting used to the scoli brace they made for me, I am pain free! They have an amazing approach to treat sciliosis.
I have been dealing with knee pain for two years! My doctor told me it was beginning arthritis. My pain recently became so bad that I could not find a comfortable position to sleep at night. Mr Felix Diaz was recommended to me by a dear friend. Thank God. I have been in a level 4-5 pain every day for months. With his expert level intake Felix was able to pin point the cause of the pain. I feel amazing. Magical. I wanted to skip, hop and run after my service! I didn't, I promised to take it easy and continue stretching at home. I can put my shoes on without pain. I could sit and stand without pain. Literal tears of joy. I can't recommend Medical Masaje enough. So grateful.
I’ve never left a review anywhere for anything but this massage is worth changing my ways. I saw Tai for a 2 hr deep tissue massage and was incredibly grateful for her communication, strength, and thoroughness during my massage. I had a lot of issues for her to work through and she did a great job intuiting and prioritizing certain areas of need.I also added hot herbal compresses to the massage which was a total treat. The space was cozy and welcoming, and the price incredibly fair considering her experience and skill. I will be back!
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.
I always say Alison is a magical creature. Her knowledge is vast and her hands are strong. When I’m on her table, I feel safe and comfortable and I know that healing is happening.
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.
I had a wonderful massage with Gerri. She was so good with going deep within my muscles, but doing it with great care. You can tell she knows the body and what she is doing. I would highly recommend Gerri. I really look forward to returning!
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.
I always feel taller after my massages with Erin! She's great at addressing every issue I have at the time. Her space is beautiful, calm, and welcoming so it's easy to relax. I also love that she keeps up with her continuing education (most recently, it was medical massage) so her massages just get better and better.
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 have used them twice. I left very satisfied. I will continue to use them from here on
I recommend this place to everybody baby is a gentle sweet masseuse woman she has not disappointed me and others too she knows what she's doing and she can help you with what's bothering you on your body She is really good I give her and her staff 5 stars so make that appt with her and you won't have any doubts about getting that chair or full body massage
Jamelle is an awesome esthetician. I received the microdermabrasion and she removed a lot of the dirt and congested pores in my face. She suggested the luminfusion can’t wait to see her again!
Good Witch is such a cozy place and Tiffinie is an experienced, warm, & friendly practitioner. I floated out after my appointment and felt better than I had in a week. Thank you so much!
I found Miss Kim after covid and I'm so lucky I did . I originally came in for nerve pain caused by a Injury that I was having numbness and pain up my arm into my neck . She helped me tremendously with improving my pain that nothing else would help . She also helped with my allergy symptoms! After some time now I recently went back due to a back injury that caused nerve pain down my legs .I wasn't able to walk very well and in extreypain making it hard to do anything .In a world we're you can't get in to see a doctor for weeks to get any relief other then rx she has helped me so so much with this slow recovery over the past month and a half . Along with vaula le information we discuss during intake . She looks at you as a whole person what stressors , traumas , job etc that could be effecting you to help treat you accordingly.

If you're looking for the best acupuncturist on the island, look no further than Tracy from Island Acupuncture! Seriously, she's a gem and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment you walk into her clean and comfortable facility, you know you're in good hands. There's ample parking, which is always a plus.
Tracy is incredibly knowledgeable and empathetic. She truly takes the time to listen intently to your health concerns before crafting a personalized treatment plan. You never feel rushed, and it's clear she genuinely cares about your well-being. During your session, she goes above and beyond to make you comfortable, offering a blanket, heat lamp, and soothing music.
Her flexibility with appointments is fantastic, though her schedule does fill up quickly – a testament to how amazing she is! I once had a really severe case of vertigo, and Tracy was able to diagnose and provide immediate relief, which was truly remarkable. I've never encountered a service provider who is as caring and attentive, especially when you're not feeling your best. She even allows patients to text her with questions anytime and is always quick to respond. The level of care she provides feels more like a close friend or family member, and that's something truly special.
I'm incredibly grateful to have found Tracy and Island Acupuncture. If you're seeking an acupuncturist who is not only highly skilled but also deeply compassionate, Tracy is absolutely the one to see.
Dr. Dao is incredible and truly cares about her patients. She goes far beyond surface-level treatment to get to the root cause, exploring avenues I didn’t even know existed. She’s extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely listens. It means so much to have a doctor who can relate and take the time to understand how everything connects. I’m incredibly grateful to have found her and highly recommend Dr. Dao to anyone who feels something may be off with their health, she will get to the bottom of it with real care and support.
I started seeing Dr. Jenny Nieters in June 2024 and she has helped me tremendously. I was a soccer goalkeeper at the University of Southern California and she has seen me through multiple injuries. For about a year, I struggled to understand what was going on with my adductors. Without relying on any scans/imaging—and based solely on working on me over a period of time—Dr. Nieters suspected that my adductors weren't fully attached. She recommended that I travel to Philadelphia to visit Vincera Institute, a specialized core clinic, for further imaging.
Through that process, I learned that both my adductors and my rectus abdominis were not fully attached, and that I would need a combined hip and core surgery. If it weren't for Dr. Nieters, I would have only undergone hip surgery and would not have discovered the full extent of my physical situation for a long time.
I had surgery in September 2025 and am currently working hard at rehab. Thanks to Dr. Nieters, I now have a real chance to get back on the field. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also one of the kindest, and most genuinely caring people I've ever met. She has a true gift for what she does. I always leave our sessions feeling better—not just physically, but mentally as well. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to see her!!
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.
I highly recommend Heavenly Stems Acupuncture. Melissa, the owner, is a very knowledgeable and caring acupuncturist. First, she asked me thorough questions to get a deep understanding of what my ailments were and what I needed. During the treatment, she explained each step that she was taking and made sure I was ok with it. This put me at ease and made me feel safe. I appreciated how she asked me first if she could twist the needles a bit to pull the qi (energy) before doing it. She said there could be a pulling sensation. I agreed to it so there were no surprises. Even though I could feel the twists, she was very gentle. In community clinics that I had gone to before, the needles hurt sometimes, but this didn't hurt at all. It was quite relaxing and she gave me a choice of being in the quiet or listening to music. I came out of it quite relaxed, but I definitely felt it was working.
Melissa deeply cares about her work. She's a very dedicated and skilled acupuncturist. She accepts some insurance and there is free parking in the back. I would recommend her to everyone I know.
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).
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.
Jane is the best and really good at what she does. I've been having neck and fertility issues and she was able to address it all. I've been to several acupuncturists and she is the real deal.
I have had a great ongoing experience with Annsheng Chinese Medicine. From the dr. To the assistants; everyone is personable and friendly. The quality of service is by far some of the best I have received. I do have a certification from Berkely Acupressure Institute; which even though it doesn't allow me to work with needles, it does give me a background in the premise of Acupuncture. I can say in all honesty, that my sessions have been great. I would recommend the Dr. and her assistants as the place to go if you are seeking healthy solutions for Chinese medicine.
I pass my exam, my instructor was Ahmad and i highly recommend him. He gave me some tips that are not in youtube.
Beginner Class. The instructors can definitely be strict, but it's for good reason. I feel very ready to go out into the world and ride a motorcycle now.
