I absolutely love going to Joyce! She’s attentive, highly skilled, and truly knows her craft. She has an amazing ability to understand what’s going on with my body—even when I’m not entirely aware myself! I've had several injuries, and since I've been seeing Joyce, I've noticed real improvements. I always leave feeling refreshed and more balanced. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and intuitive therapist!
Absolutely the best mid-range (and better than a lot of expensive) mani/pedi I've had in a long time. I went today as a walk in (first time there) and it was super clean and chill. Little snacks and tea while I waited all of like 5 min to be seated (at noon on Sunday). Their chairs are new and comfy, plus they're not made for someone six feet tall where the massager is on the back of my head half the time . Will definitely go back.
The phone number is still the same but Mahnoosh's location has changed because of COVID. (Call to schedule an appointment.; she will also provide you with her new location.)
I am not sure why the other reviewer gave 3 stars even though the review itself is glowing.
Mahnoosh has been wonderful! She explains the process well, and adjusts as needed based on your comfort-level. Before you go, be sure to purchase skin (face) numbing cream on the targeted area 1 hour before treatment and then 15 minutes before treatment. Mahnoosh does not provide any cream but will put it on for you during the treatment.
I give Fazli my very highest recommendation. He cleaned three rugs for me and they came back looking beautiful. He's so knowledgeable, kind, and easy-to-work with. He's a straight forward communicator, good listener, honest and provides the very highest level of service. I look forward to working with Fazli for many years to come!
Opted for air duct cleaning and couldn't be happier. Noticed a reduction in dust buildup and musty odors. Money well spent! The team was punctual and worked diligently to ensure thorough cleaning. I appreciate the attention to detail and professionalism. Definitely worth the investment for better indoor air quality.
Great shop with talented artists. Super clean and in a great area. Would come back again.
Harry and his assistant did a wonderful job on my 2 sets of floor length drapes. They are friendly, efficient, cleaned up afterwards, and the price was extremely reasonable. This was my 3rd time having Harry here.
I had to find a new optometrist because my insurance changed. I chose Albany-Berkely Optometry because the location is convenient and I'm very glad I did. I was very happy with my eye appointment - I got a more thorough exam than I've had in years, and I left confident that my eyes are healthy. The doctor also took time to explain all my options and make sure all my questions were answered. The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. I don't usually leave yelp reviews but I was so happy with the people and the service that I made an exception.
Second time going for eye checkup, doctor was nice and knowledgeable, she examined my eyes deeply, no rush. The problem was staff, she was nice until I told her I need to think about getting glasses today, and I come back later. She didn’t even gave my eye drops that doctor put it in my file. She wanted to get rid of me asap.
I LOVE StretchLab! The Albany shop has the greatest Flexologists known to man or woman!! Ina, Marie, Lucia & Danny have all helped me so much! I initially went in after Kaiser had diagnosed me with IT Band inflammation - Kaiser's solution? Phone session with a Physical Therapist & then sent some videos to watch & follow!! That was IT!
My first session at StretchLab, I had Ina - a trained PT in her home country - who was amazing . . . . .. I literally felt like skipping out of that first session. What I really like about StretchLab is that each Flexer takes notes on your session & condition on that day so when I was unable to book Ina again for awhile - she is so popular! Marie then Lucia then Danny were all able to pick up on my progress & continue the notes!
The management is so responsive & hands on . . . . .Shahria is there almost every time I come in. . . . that is very nice to see! All of the staff are such great folks & I thank the Universe daily for being able to find tham . . . . thanks Kaiser! You did me a favor!
Been attending WingChun Berkeley for a little over 4 years and I still enjoy, learn, and am energized at every class. I had no prior martial arts experience when I started and was looking for something practical to help with the street harassment/stalking incidents I was experiencing at the time. The students and the instructor, Sije Yuka, were incredibly welcoming, and the hands-on techniques in class, then and ever since, have been incredibly accessible and practical, no matter your body size/type or level of fitness. The self defense we learn is aggressive and no-nonsense, even though we practice in a way that's safe and easy for new people to join in. Everyone is very patient and kind - truly none of the ego or clique-y attitude that can sometimes happen in martial arts studios.As I practiced over time, I noticed a huge change in my confidence, the way I carried myself, and how I was able to respond to bad situations on the street. It has truly been a huge positive force for change in my life and I'm so grateful to Sije and the community of students. I hope they know they're stuck with me for good! :)
I'm an adult driving student so I thought I'd add my experience here! I worked with Kirt and Sean, and had an excellent experience with both. They were very helpful and experienced, and gave me the tools to get over my fear of driving. Within the first lesson I already felt much more comfortable behind the wheel, after years of having driving anxiety. I took my very first driving lesson on June 26, and I passed my driving test on August 6th. I went with the 5 lesson package, which was well worth the money! I never thought I'd be able to go from level 1 to passing the test in less than two months-- the local driving school instructors are true professionals! If you're selecting an instructor, I would recommend Kirt if you learn well with clear cut and precise instructions, and more structured learning. Sean is great if you like to learn more based on feel/intuition, visualization, and a learn-by-doing approach. Both instructors are great at what they do, and I imagine each teacher's style will suit some people more than others.
I got a fantastic haircut from Eric. Top notch. It’s growing out beautifully and looks amazing. He really knows his stuff.
Sondra is the best stylist I have ever been to and I love coming in to see her. She always does something amazing to my hair and goes the extra mile. I feel very cared for and trust her completely. I love our conversations, and always feel inspired during and after our time together.
Perfect a line bob everytime. I’ve never had my hair this short before but I love it. Lots of compliments daily and I send them all here when they asked me where I get my haircut. Affordable, nice ladies, can’t ask for anything more.
I've been getting my hair highlighted with Camilla for years. I'm always very happy with the results. She's also a kind and lovely person to be around. Even since moving far away from her salon, I keep going back to her. The results and service are worth the drive! Highly recommend.
Ashira Salon is beautiful, tranquil and fresh.
Jennifer Brass is an amazing hairapist!
She uses great natural products and has amazing skills with cut and color. Ammonia free products.
She's an artist with great attention to detail.
I highly recommend her
Jim is the best, cuts are excellent, color and everything. Prices are great, good attitude.
My husband came home with a really nice hair cut. We've passed this hair salon for years and my husband is happy he gave them a shot.
I scheduled a keratin treatment here with little forethought. It turned out great, and was much less expensive than the larger salons. The treatment was especially gentle, which I appreciated.
Absolutely the best mid-range (and better than a lot of expensive) mani/pedi I've had in a long time. I went today as a walk in (first time there) and it was super clean and chill. Little snacks and tea while I waited all of like 5 min to be seated (at noon on Sunday). Their chairs are new and comfy, plus they're not made for someone six feet tall where the massager is on the back of my head half the time . Will definitely go back.
Love my gel manicure! I’ve been to all the nail spots on Solano, and this one’s my favorite.
Excellent service and pedicures! I even brought my son and they were very kind with his kid pedicure.
Bellissima is a small salon with two incredible technicians! It's always clean and pleasant.
Phong and Jenny are professional in demeanor and their work.
I've only had mani/pedi's, but they also wax and do eyebrows.
I won't go anywhere else as long as Bellissimas doors are open. They're excellent, reliable and consistent!
Lana did an amazing job on my pedicure and can handle ingrown toenails. Lily used her power box expertly to remove the gel, and went from side to side for my manicure so I didn't have to reach over and be uncomfortable. The salon is very quiet, clean, and they used sanitized tools.
I don't know why the whole world doesn't go here to get their nails done! Every person who works there is accomodating, lovely and gracious, they always do a perfect job, its sparkling clean, soothing soft music is played, and one can make an appointment. There is a new owner and she is just as wonderful as the previous owner, and nothing has changed. I highly recommend Naveana Nail Salon!
My husband made an appointment with Billy, who was right on time. Hair shampoo Great haircut, neck hair trimmed. Billy was very quick, but accurate. Hubby's hair looks so handsome.
A great place for precise and quick eyebrow threading! The staff is skilled, the service is affordable, and the results are always clean and well-shaped. The salon maintains good hygiene, and the experience is relatively painless. Definitely a go-to for eyebrow and facial threading needs.
And also
This store offers a fantastic selection of trendy and high-quality Nepalese clothing. Whether you’re looking for casual wear or something more formal, they have a great variety. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the prices are reasonable for the quality.
10/10 recommend, went in for a walk in for a cut and walked out with exactly what I wanted!
Friendly hairdresser with a lot of experience. Always pleased to see her and get my hair cut.
Nina has been cutting my hair since 1986. She spends a lot of time and is very careful and diligent. I highly recommend her.
Terri is so focussed and knowledgeable. She takes her time and always delivers a beautiful cut. She's very personable as well, fun to talk to. Highly recommended!
Used to go there and get my hair done, then I decided to re-lock my hair and my stylist (Dorothy) didn't do locks/dreads. They also do nails in there
I have been going to Style 2000 for haircuts in the past twenty or so years (I have lost count). Total satisfaction. I suggest calling ahead of time to make an appointment first, or you may have to wait a long time!
First time customer and I loved my haircut experience with Ryan! I felt like he was very skilled - both attentive and efficient. He was communicative and asked needed questions to get a good understanding of how I wanted my hair cut. I was also pleasantly surprised at how soft and sleek my hair felt afterwards from the blow dry job. Really great value and still affordable!
This is hands down my favorite nail salon in the east bay!! They take their time with their manicures and pedicures and give the best hand/foot & leg massages (which are included). Their work is so quality, and I never feel like I'm being rushed out because they are very good scheduling their clients. I truly feel pampered here. My natural nails have also grown so much and are thriving because of their gel manicures!! Highly highly recommend, just make sure to schedule an appointment!
Raven and Roses Beauty Salon is a fantastic eco-friendly oasis! Noel Shabazian, the owner, exudes warmth and care, making every visit feel special. The salon's commitment to sustainability is impressive, reflecting a true love for the environment. With a 5-star review from The Chilangos Barbershop, it's clear they deliver outstanding service. A perfect place for beauty treatments that align with eco-conscious values!
Lana is the one for my haircuts! I was always pleased when walking out of Heads-Up back then and now that she is at IXia Salon, my satisfaction continues!!
Very professional, clean and friendly staff. I did enjoy my treatment here. I will totally come back here.
Kristina was a game-changer in my life that I NEVER expected. I was someone who never did much of any self-care and had no clue how to take care of my skin or my face. I have been going to Kristina now for a few years and I look forward to every session. Kristina is so much more than an esthetician, her skills boarder on magic. She is so ridiculously knowledgeable about not only skin, but the human body in general. She provide customized care every visit, tweaking to your needs of that particular period in time. I am so grateful to have Kristina as a resource and educator for how to care for my body. I cannot imagine not having this in my life!!! I now consider Kristina a friend and it is so great to not only get a wonderful facial, but to also catch up with a great human being!
5+ stars!!! What a great experience!! And the people who work here are so nice. We first went to the hot tub. It is outside and wonderful. Then we headed to the sauna. If you have never been to a Finnish sauna, you must try this place out! It is not like a sauna at a gym or hot springs. It’s the real deal. And can essentially get as hot as you can handle. Soooo good! I felt toxins releasing from deep within.
The facility is super clean. And it feels really nice.
Lovely experience!!! And v healthy too.
Since 2017, I have had the pleasure of getting tattooed from an incredibly talented artist, Andre Malcolm. He not only possesses extraordinary skills but also creates his own ink, which makes him truly unique. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional, leaving me with pieces of art that far exceeded my expectations. Andre’s technical prowess is truly awe-inspiring. Every stroke, line, and detail he brought to life on my skin showcased his precision and mastery of the craft. His ability to effortlessly transform ideas and concepts into beautiful, personalized designs is a testament to his talent. Each piece he creates is a unique work of art that tells a story, capturing the essence of my vision with remarkable accuracy. Not to mention, his kind, caring, and jovial demeanor contributed to a relaxed, comfortable, and enjoyable experience, making the sessions all the more memorable. So, if you're looking for a remarkable tattoo experience that goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly encourage you to visit Andre.
Great shop with talented artists. Super clean and in a great area. Would come back again.
Great experience and would highly recommend. The staff is friendly and highly knowledgeable.Service: Piercings
James, the sales representative is very helpful. Detailed, knowledgeable and very patience and has answered my questions.
Anthony and team are very helpful and friendly. Hefty supply of schluters in stock! Easy parking.
If you want something done right the first time. These guys are amazing! My wife and I wanted an ADU for our home in Walnut Creek CA. My father is very particular about construction, Silvio has a lot of experience and was able to guide us in making the smart and correct decisions for our project.
Nick remodeled our kitchen and did a clean skilled work. We truly appreciated his honest, skilled work!
In loving memory of 714 Solano Ave. The original club house where Coposetic crew once lived in 1994. Legends roamed those streets.
Dr Pacleb is caring, thorough and professional. Her staff is helpful, friendly and professional. I had a dentist in Los Angeles for more than 20 years. I am so glad to have found Dr Pacleb.
Dr. Selway is a great dentist ! I had 2 teeth extracted today & the entire process from start to finish was pain free. He’s even out of my network but I chose to go to him anyway bc I knew I’d have no pain & I haven’t had to take any pain relief nor do I have swelling on my cheek. I’m Super happy ! Thank you Dr.Selway & staff.
Dr. Cohen & the team at Innate has genuinely saved my life! If I could give ten stars, I would. I have Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), and I could not ask for a better chiropractor. I have tried many practitioners who could barely keep me walking, and Dr. Cohen was able to get me out of support braces, stuck in bed most days in pain, and now I am dancing on my feet again! He is not only an excellent chiropractor, but also an incredibly kind, empathetic, and caring person who treats my chronic full-body condition with a gentle, effective, mind-body-spirit approach. The combination of chiropractic, PDTR, NET, and everything else that Dr. Cohen uses has been so effective. The other practitioners I have seen, Dr. Jen, Dr. Furda, Kenny Givens (massage therapist), and Michael Huff (orthobionomy) are all also very excellent, knowledgeable, and kind. Kenny Givens is my favorite medical massage therapist and I always come out of my appointments feeling better! The front desk staff is fantastic as well, Randi especially is so sweet and helpful. I recommend Innate to literally everyone I know, especially my friends with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome & other chronic conditions. Thank you so much to everyone at Innate for significantly improving my quality of life!
I keep going back for care with Dr. Jennifer Lanett after knowing her and working with her for many years. She is gentle, but also does very effective adjustments and other treatments that work to lift whatever discomfort I am experiencing.
Dr. Prins is an amazing practitioner. I went to him after recovering from cervical disc replacement surgery. Also, I have double severed inoperable rotator cuffs. He has helped me get back to full function physically. I’ve seen half a dozen chiropractors. Charlie Prins is definitely the best. I highly recommend this practice.
I have been receiving sessions from Dr. Jill since the beginning of the year and it has been a great experience. I often walk in feeling tense and contracted in my body, mind and relationship to life, and after just 30 minutes on the table it’s a total 180 and I walk out totally different each time. I am studying two bodywork modalities myself and I have to say I am in awe of the clear skill, knowledge, magic, and mystery of this modality and how it so swiftly releases loads of survival energy from my system and softens me back into my being nature. I often have emotional releases on the table that are not tied to any story, which are so freeing and beautiful. I also find that Network is true to its ethos of teaching your body how to fish rather than just fishing for you —the kind of reorganizing and reordering motions and patterns that move through me during a session and bring such relief, have also naturally come forward in my body to reset me when I am lying in bed at home. So cool!
My spine and nervous system felt at home with Dr. Jill’s touch from the start and I find that they remember her and reach to her for relief and with thanks. The Vitality Center itself is a lovely space and it is clear a lot of care has gone into its creation. Receiving sessions in the collective space is a deeply nurturing and healing experience.
Dr. Gurley and the staff are always warm and kind, doing their best to help our dog with heart failure. I deeply appreciate it.
Terrific vets- especially Dr. Grant Caring staff and they respond in a timely manner. My skittish doggie does not hesitate!
I’ve been seeing Dr Gurley for years, she’s always attentive and will do what’s best for all my animals. She get in contact with me for lab work, even on her days off. Best Vet ever!
Kind and experienced Dr. Kim and Mrs. Kim have always helped our cats stay healthy and happy! They are a wonderful team.
I’ve been to Thailand and these ladies are on the same level as what you get there. Just incredible. I’d go here when my back was in shambles (specify what you want and don’t want before the massage if you have an injury), and I still come as often as I can. They’re all great, best massages I’ve ever had in the US have been here!
I absolutely love going to Joyce! She’s attentive, highly skilled, and truly knows her craft. She has an amazing ability to understand what’s going on with my body—even when I’m not entirely aware myself! I've had several injuries, and since I've been seeing Joyce, I've noticed real improvements. I always leave feeling refreshed and more balanced. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and intuitive therapist!
I've seen Tank several times and will say that considering them simply an "acupuncturist" is a total undersell. They are a healer that's very passionate about the various modalities of Chinese medicine including acupuncture. In fact, our first session was mostly a qigong session. I had to experience it to believe that I could actually feel them moving qi against me without actually physically touching me, and afterwards I was able to confirm that what I sensed (eyes closed) was what they were doing. It was totally wild. Besides their skills and knowledge, Tank is just such a good listener. I love the first part of our sessions because they really ask good questions and are completely present for the conversation. I can tell they really want to know the whole context to help a person. One thing that Tank is especially good at is being sensitive to sensitive people. I get cold easily and am sensitive to noise, and every time they get the ultra-crinkly mylar blanket to warm me up (it's very light so it doesn't disturb the needles, but also super noisy), they put it on me with exquisite care to ensure the noise isn't detracting from the experience. That is just how they do things - with exquisite care. Highly recommend going to see Tank for holistic care through the lens of Chinese medicine!
Linda did a great job - good even pressure and good handling of the hot stone. Great to have on-site parking in a raining day. Room is spacious and semi private. Mostly quiet. Highly recommended this place.
My pain is way a lot better than before. Lada is so kind and sweet. Very peaceful and clean vibe. Will be back for sure.
A relief to find the care of Joanne. This year I caught up on several Dr appointments, but none of them were as thorough and thoughtful as Joanne. Not only is her care competent but I experienced immediate relief! Mind you, I was experiencing chest pain that no one could help me get resolved and after just one visit, Joanne had produced change for me! It was kind of hard to believe. After having a few visits now, I would highly recommend the care of Joanne for massage, especially if you’re struggling with pain.
Ronda is fantastic! She was able to help me with chronic spinal injury pain that other therapists could not help. She has so much experience with her skills that she can feel the body and know what needs to be worked on. Her kindness and knowledge was a true gift in my life.
Taylor is so good at his craft that he's booked out 7 months. My wife and I have tried many different massage therapists over the years and are very thankful we found Taylor. He's truly the best. We both see him regularly for therapeutic bodywork -- he is incredibly strong, understands body mechanics and leverage, and knows how to find knots you never knew existed and really get in there. The fact that he's also funny, interesting, and can hold a conversation is a bonus!
My masseuse was very friendly, very professional, and she had very strong hands! I was impressed. It was a warm day, and the place was maybe a little too warm, but that was really my only complaint.
This is nirvana, from the smell when you enter the establishment, to the inspirations on the bathroom wall, to the kindness and talent of every person here. Treatment for body *and* soul. They have my abiding gratitude.
Julia is one of the best masseuse I have ever had! I initially was introduced to her at my chiropractors office after a terrible car accident.
I have been going to her since 2019, and she's super consistent! I like that she touches base with you before, during and after the massage as well. Her approach is tailored to your needs, and I almost always fall asleep or go into a twilight every time she works on me. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Ann Michelle Ongerth, Clincal Director, and her staff have been instrumental in supporting my 22 year old college student with her recovery from a winter break ACL knee surgery. She had only 3-weeks to get strong enough post surgery to return to campus for the next quarter and be independent enough to get around mostly on her own. Ucla is a hilly campus with very limited parking so this seemed like a daunting goal, but with Albany Physical Therapy’s expert guidance and treatment, she was able to meet this goal! I can’t express my gratitude strongly enough for Ann Michelle and the staff as a mother, knowing my daughter is now stable enough and ready to return to school to continue her healing journey. My daughter entered in extreme pain and after only two weeks is able to exercise and move on her own. The staff have been so caring and prioritized getting her appointments because they saw how much she needed them. The most effective, supportive, thoughtful, and fun physical therapy you could hope for!
Joe is an incredible practitioner. His hands are magic and his attention and care are very healing. He has helped me with chronic pain in my hips and also an intense bout of TMJ pain. Coulddn't recommend more!
I had the best experience with Marie. She did a thorough intake. She listened asked thoughtful questions and was extremely present with me. Such a professional. I felt so good after my treatment and received an after care treatment plan that was appropriate for my needs.
Claudia really cares and helped me with some serious body issues. I always feel better after her treatments and have told my friends about her. She's is a keeper!
Five stars isn't enough to describe how supportive and effective Maki's presence as an acupuncturist and health care advocate has been in my life. I started seeing her for chronic pain, sleep, and GI issues, but she's helped me with so much more.
Maki's approach is grounded in a deep knowledge of acupuncture, particularly Japanese-style techniques, and herbs. Her knowledge of orthopedics has been incredibly helpful for my pain, and she always has helpful recommendations for care outside of her office.
I've seen so much improvement and I'm incredibly grateful to her.
Not only is she super at what she does, she's a warm, approachable, and down-to-earth person who I look forward to seeing each week. And she's hilarious! That personal connection has made my treatment all the more effective. Go see her!
Mina and Conrad and the epitome of healing. Whether receiving guidance on nutrition, muscle release from Conrad, or perfectly positioned pins by Mina...you're left with a rebirth of wellness personalized for YOU. Many times acupuncturists, massage therapists, dietitians...they only practice/prescribe what works for them. Both Mina and Conrad are incredibly sensitive/curious to your needs as a patient and the result is simply bliss. Come by and see for yourself!!
Dr Wang is my guy. He's a critical and very active member of my medical team -- having helped me with PMDD, tight thoracic spine issues, hip tightness, fatigue, and ankle injuries. He is deeply intuitive and experienced in his practice (and also teaches at an Accupuncuture school 2x a week). He is deeply committed to healing and using a range of tools to do so. His fees are worth it in my opinion, especially with insurance (blue shield ppo). He comes highly recommended -- recently I found out my childhood friend, three separate friends parents also see him for various health needs. So he is also auntie approved (:
Fantastic selection of superb formulas. I can get anything I need plus a top notch herbalist, all in one place. I wish I could give 6 stars. Thank you Shen Clinic, you are number one!!!
Dr. Johns is a truly talented clinician - he's kind of magician . also he's and warm and caring human.
Melissa not only is a talented and intuitive acupuncturist but she is also an excellent listener and spends a generous amount of time prior to treatment listening for what is needed in that session. She has helped me tremendously with anxiety, ptsd, digestive issues, and overall balancing of my chi. She's a lovely, warm practitioner and i highly recommend her!
Rachel Alkire -- what a gem!! She is one of the most genuine, caring, generous, and thoughtful practitioners I have come across in the medical/healing space. At 38 weeks pregnant I had an acute/urgent issue and even though I hadn't seen her for an appointment in many months, she immediately responded to my message with a phone call and provided a wealth of sage knowledge and advice. Both her kindness and her holistic medical wisdom shine through when you interact with her. Highly recommend.
Great experience, very intuitive practitioner. My health is really improving.

This is an oasis and sanctuary. The kindest people run this place as a beautiful service to those who need it. When I lived in El Cerrito I came often. As a self-employed magician, I'm always on the go and it becomes really hard to stop. Sarana granted me the permission to stop, refuel and warm my heart. This is a group context, which keeps the rates affordable. I remain grateful to Sarana and all the angels there!
Jacqueline is the instructor you want for your teen drivers. Her focus is on safety. What makes her stand out is that she is a former classroom teacher who knows how to teach, she loves kids and they truly love her! I'm in awe of her knowledge, her patience and how much she loves teaching young people to drive. Highest recommendation!
I'm an adult driving student so I thought I'd add my experience here! I worked with Kirt and Sean, and had an excellent experience with both.
