Cannot recommend Johnna from Ivy Mae Hair Studio enough! She was so fun to work with and truly made me feel beautiful for my wedding. Plus, she was efficient and thorough the morning of the wedding. Would work with them time and time again!
I had a great 90 minute massage with Tim. Lovely therapy room with good quality sheets and a nice, thick blanket. I asked for firm pressure and actually got it! I didn't have to ask for additional pressure even one time. Tom took cues and talked when I wanted but was quiet when I didn't. Prices are excellent for the area. My back feels better than it's felt in months.
Had a wonderful experience! I had Nikki, she talks you through everything she is gonna do without over talking making it relaxing. She gives tips on what to do with muscles and over all was a great experience! Very clean and such a great friendly environment
Specialties: I love Ella. She has 30+years of experience. She is a Teaching Beautician, at Newburgh Beauty Academy. She is one of 3 beauticians who can process my hair in a specific way(wave nouveau). Thank you, Ella.

Corrine is an innovative, intuitive, and incredibly skilled masseuse. I felt very taken care of and all my difficult spots were addressed. I cannot recommend her enough. I will be returning, for sure.
Some people have the ability to take body work to another level, and that is certainly true of Akiko and Attune Wellness. Her treatments are nothing less than a spiritual experience and I felt completely safe, cared for, and relaxed the entire time. The sound healing and tuning forks add an additional level of relaxation and harmonizing of the mind, body, and spirit. I left feeling calm, present, and attuned. Transformative.
God has truly blessed your business ?✨ I'm thankful for you doing my dreads feeling like a ? Queen done by a Queen ? Praise the Lord for a successful business ❤️
Out of all the massage places in kingston these people are the best they do what u ask and everytime it gets more stronger n intense then the last I couldn't recommend this place enough. Keep up the good work.
I was extremely happy with the service provided by Hudson Valley Mobile Dumpster. The owner is very responsive to requests, and when it turned out I needed it for an additional day, he happily complied. They were extremely careful in placing and removing it from the property. I highly recommend for Anthony's fair pricing and customer service.
Rebecca is incredibly kind and intuitive. During the session, she listened closely and quickly identified patterns I had not picked up on in my life. I was truly amazed by how much one session with her shifted my energy and allowed me to move forward in a moment that I felt a bit stuck in life. I am looking forward to continued sessions and highly recommend.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Coversafe, and I cannot speak highly enough of their exceptional service. From the moment I reached out, their customer service team was incredibly responsive and attentive to my needs. They truly went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my experience was seamless and satisfactory.
The staff at Coversafe are not only professional but also genuinely caring and dedicated to providing the best possible service. They took the time to understand my specific requirements and offered tailored solutions that exceeded my expectations. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence are truly commendable.
I was particularly impressed by their ability to handle complex situations with ease and efficiency, always maintaining a positive and helpful attitude. It's rare to find a company that combines such high levels of professionalism with a personal touch, and Coversafe does it flawlessly.
Overall, I highly recommend Coversafe to anyone in need of reliable and outstanding service. They have certainly set a new standard for customer care and professionalism in their industry.
Bonesteel Brothers: Reliable and Professional ServiceWe've been using Bonesteel Brothers for a while now, and they've consistently impressed us. They handle everything from snow removal (including our driveway and walkway) to regular lawn care (mowing and edging).Recently, they helped us with a fantastic landscaping project that involved a complete redesign of our flower beds. They brought in the proper equipment and tools needed for the job. This included rebuilding the stone wall that edged the side of the bed. They meticulously laid down weed barrier to prevent future growth, and brought in fresh mulch to give the area a clean and finished look. They also did a thorough job weeding, even hand-weeding delicate areas for a complete clean.Throughout all our interactions with them, they've been:Punctual: They always show up on time, which is a big plus.Communicative: They keep us informed and answer any questions we have clearly.Fairly priced: Their rates are very reasonable for the quality of work they do.Honest and hardworking: It's clear they take pride in their work and treat our property with respect.We highly recommend Bonesteel Brothers for any landscaping or snow removal needs. They're a reliable and professional company that gets the job done right. While we haven't used them for construction work yet, given their attention to detail and strong work ethic, we wouldn't hesitate to do so in the future.
I am delighted to have found Silver Sparrow Salon. I just had my first visit, and Sara did an excellent job with color and updating my cut. I’m very pleased and will return. The salon is small but thoughtfully designed, and Brian, the owner, has created a cozy space for beautiful hair.
Went here for the first time last week and SO glad I did! Jessica did my incredible balayage and not only was she the absolute sweetest and such a delight to chat with, but she made my hair look AMAZING!!!! Like, the best it’s ever looked! I cannot thank her enough! The cut and color was more than I could have asked for and I can’t wait to come back. Thank you so much, Jess and Artisan Beauty Bar!?♥️

Had a fantastic Blow out today with Maddie. Super professional and very talented! I will definitely be back. And great products! My hair feels as soft as silk
As someone who colors my hair often, my hair is always in difference shades and colors! Pavel was very experienced as he's been in the business for over 25yrs! He had me show him pictures of what I wanted my hair to look like and informed me of the process. He color corrected my hair and did his magic. I was very happy and will see him again soon!
LeeAnn is the best!! I remember some years ago I stopped a woman in a store rocking a great hairstyle and we chatted. She told me of SplitEnds salon and LeeAnn (owner). I booked an appointment,....and never looked back!! The best!!! Every 7-8 weeks. That's my place, that's "My Girl!!"
Yes I received my haircut from Laura She did an excellent job and it was what I was looking for in a style I described. It probably was one of the best cuts I have received. Laura was very pleasant and gave some good advice on questions I had. I definitely will be getting my future haircuts at SmartStyle and Laura
When my Barber retired I asked a friend who he went to. " Joe LaLima- he's the best." I went and found Joe to be a really friendly guy and he did a fantastic job. By time I left I had a great cut, and a new friend I felt I knew for years. Go see Joe.
Requested style: I wanted the same cut Joe gave himself!
This place was awesome. I called ahead, they had an opening in 40minutes. Aaron hooked it up, he listened and understood the vision. I have tried a lot of places in New Paltz/Kingston and this is going to be my new spot from now on. Cut was $40 plus an $8 tip. Very professional but laid back environment. Everyone is super friendly - highly recommend.
Pugsly's Barbershop is a great local barber with an old school vibe, professional barbers, welcoming and friendly environment, with plenty of parking nearby. Andrew is a very experienced barber there and a good guy. Highly recommended
Chung is a special gentle soul who always fits me into his schedule in spite of my crazy schedule. He always makes me feel pampered and taken care of. And always knows the best color for the moment at hand.
Best salon in the K! Employees have been there a long time which is always a great sign of a place. The owner Tanya is super cool and Berta is awesome! She helped me bring my bridal nails dream to life with this baby pink chrome ?
I've been getting my nails done here every 2 weeks for 2+ years. Definitely the best option around. Friendly, clean, professional. They honor appointment times, unlike a lot of their competitors. Color selection is amazing. I've never even had 1 nail lift or had my polish on fingers or toes chip. No lie. I love these people. I'll never go any place else.
I've had the pleasure of being a client of Justine’s for years, and her exceptional service has left me feeling empowered and inspired. Justine is a true entrepreneur, consistently surprising her clients with generous gestures that elevate her business to new heights. Her expertise extends far beyond lash enhancements, as she offers insightful conversations that feel like complimentary therapy sessions (lol). After each appointment, I consistently leave feeling revitalized and beautiful. I highly recommend reaching out to Justine and discovering her extraordinary services. Nothing but all positive vibes for Renew You ❤️?
Guys! Adamari was amazing , she knew exactly how to manage my very thick curly hair. She was very sweet and held great conversation. Absolutely loved the way my hair came out and the products used. The staff/crew were very friendly and the place was adorable . Everyone leaving looked great and happy with their end result . Will definitely be back . Thanks Adamari!
If you go here get Chrissy. Wonderful person/hairdresser. When you tell her what you want done. She listens and does what you ask. I have sent a few people to her. They always love the way she cuts their hair.
Specialties: I love Ella. She has 30+years of experience. She is a Teaching Beautician, at Newburgh Beauty Academy. She is one of 3 beauticians who can process my hair in a specific way(wave nouveau). Thank you, Ella.
First time a hair stylist “gets” my hair! This is my 3 rd time getting my hair cut and colored. I love the ghost cutting technique Christina is very skilled at! Highly recommended
She did an absolute amazing job on my hair. I most definitely recommend Stella Bella for your hair needs. Great service and very positive. And she really cares about her clients. You'll be so satisfied with the results. Peace, love, and respect to Stella Bella!!
I do like the high and low lights on my French bob, but the $357 price tag including tip was way more than I thought it would be. I won’t be returning. It’s just way to expensive for the service.
Zephyr Float was a great experience. They have created a lovely, relaxing environment and the all staff were very friendly and welcoming. I had the 60 minute massage which really helped with my lower back pain. Will definitely be back to try the float.

When I walked in, I immediately felt at ease and asked for a treatment. Receptionist/massage therapist was very warm and friendly (sorry I forgot your name).
I had a Reiki session with Naomi and she was ~wonderful~. She took the time to understand where I was residing emotionally/energetically which I appreciated after being holed up in a cabin alone for 3 days. The session was super magnetic, I felt a surge of warm energy and she helped me take some deep breaths since I'm a shallow breather. I enjoyed her perspectives post session as well. She's very intuitive and takes the time to listen to your body -- mental, physical, and energetic. Highly recommend if you're in the area and you need some clearing/cleansing/healing. <3 She's a good one.
Kelly is true to her craft. I bought the TriLift package. It exceeded my expectations. It has erased 20 years without any downtime. After losing my mother, I appeared as though I'd aged a decade. Therefore, meeting Kelly has been a gift. She never over sold any of her services. She patiently listened to my concerns and did her magic. Thank you, Kelly
I’m pretty new to tattoos (and quickly becoming obsessed). I saw Jason yesterday for two small pieces, and I was seriously impressed. He took my simple idea and turned it into something amazing. He’s incredibly creative, super patient, and so easy to talk to, which was exactly the vibe I was hoping for. I also had a piercing re-done (turns out it never actually fully closed, even after being out for 15+ years post-pregnancy!). Overall, it was a top-notch experience. I’ll definitely be back. Huge thanks to Jason, and also to the amazing gorgeous girl who does piercings (I’m so bad with names, please forgive me).
Loved that they do walkins!!! Was in the parking lot at a spa to get a massage then I decided I decided I rather get a tattoo instead? when I called they said they do walkins she drew my aries sign idea with her twist on it an done!! No appointments is the best when it comes to tattoos!! Come to.find out the owner is the the guy that did my very first tattoo about 13 years ago which I was looking for him last year to add on my other son's name but he didn't work at the same same shop anymore.. Definitely going back!
i do love ink inc- but i feel it’s important to tell callers who inquire about piercings that you don’t “do” a certain piercing.. i went there after i called- asking if they had a piercer in that day and they said yes. when i got there, they told me they don’t pierce eyebrows, and that it’s a preference of the piercer. which is fine! i just wish i was told on the phone beforehand so i didn’t waste the trip. maybe when somebody calls about a piercing just give them the heads up of piercings you don’t do or ask them what piercing they want!
Been going to Tania for my tattoos for years now and wouldn't go to anybody else. Just got two more tattoos done today and they are absolutely amazing. Clean sterile environment always including the tattoo tray, chair, main desk, lobby and everything else. Tania is down to earth and always makes me feel at ease and comfortable every time i am there. She is communicative and always makes sure you get exactly what you want each time. Tattoos she even did years ago look amazing to this day i will always tell people to go here and recommend her. If you are interested in getting any work done Tania is your girl!
Communication is the best I ever received! The technician, Felix, was AWESOME!! He was extremely patient, understanding and offered up so many options for our problem.
D. Rohde came to analyze problems with our HVAC - there were multiple visits and multiple attempts to correct a complex issue. (Another company JSP had already come and incorrectly identified the problem as well as quoted an astronomical price to fix a wire.) Besides evaporator coil replacement (was under warranty and D Rohde went the extra mile to locate and obtain this part appropriately without cost to us) refill of coolant, improvement of insulation, and detailed analysis to uncover why the machine continued to leak water badly, ultimately adding a second return to our oversized unit (which had been incorrectly installed by a different company years earlier). D.Rohde, Ethan, Lirim, and someone whose name sorry I don't recall, were excellent workers; and in particular DANY C., did an OUTSTANDING job of educating us and studying the entire units functioning and uncovering the proper correction needed. Our HVAC has since surprised us with how much better it now functions to cool or heat the house! It now works better than it ever has before! We highly recommend D Rohde as honest and professional, with reliable technical expertise!! K Martino
Hank Cooper went above and beyond to help us when he was already closed. We found ourselves in need of being pumped on a weekend. He came over within an hour and was very friendly and empathetic. He took his time to make sure everything was working properly and was professional and did an exceptional job. I highly recommend E Cooper & Son. It’s great having a local company that cares about their neighbors.
Very helpful and an honest crew. Good honest prices and diligent and professional work. They are the plumber i chose for all my work.Services: Plumbing leak detection
I cannot say enough good things about Jaffer electric. They have identified and resolved issues when multiple other electricians could not. Their team is professional, courteous, and clean. The team also has a family atmosphere about them. Call Pat Jaffer make sure his technicians are taken care of and they come through for him. They will continue to be my top choice when having an electrical issue.Services: Electrical wiring installation
As a contractor, I’ve worked with many suppliers over the years, and Excelsior Wood Products stands out as one of the best. Their craftsmanship, consistency, and attention to detail are second to none. Orders arrive on time, milled precisely, and ready to install — which makes a huge difference when running tight job schedules.
Their team is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about helping contractors deliver beautiful results. Whether it’s custom flooring, reclaimed wood, or specialty millwork, Excelsior always delivers top-quality materials that my clients love.
It’s rare to find a supplier that combines excellent products with old-fashioned service and reliability while being environmentally conscious. Excelsior Wood Products has become a trusted partner for my business, and I highly recommend them to anyone in the trade who values quality and integrity....and kindness!!

My wife and I are BEYOND happy with the job Tom Casey and his team did on our floors. I read another reviewer wrote “above and beyond” and thats spot on. Their beautiful, detailed, experienced work instantly added value to our home. Tom was very professional and offered outstanding value with his pricing and product. Great customer service and communication, very hard to find these days. He was fast and generous with his time explaining options and being flexible when the job became bigger than originally planned. I highly recommend Casey & Sons to anyone looking to refinish their floor!
Extremely pleased. We have a large parking lot and Zac did an excellent job and finished a day early. The results are professional and our parking lot looks great! Highly recommended!
Mario and his guys just finished a complete gut remodel of one of our bathrooms and we could not be more pleased! From the wall and floor tile to the plumbing, drywall, fixtures and paint they did an excellent job. They were there when they said they would be and cleaned up each day after their work. We highly recommend Agape! Bill Ryan

This is a very professional business. A rarity. They always do great work, they are always on time and are always professional. My house is nice and cool. If I have any AC issues they come right out. I highly recommend them.
Brandon recently provided my yearly initial service & was absolutely terrific describing what he was doing, performing checks & explaining what he found.
I am so thrilled with our new illusions fence! Dewitt Mills fence co is worth waiting for, as they are the best of the best! Jean broke everything down for me with the utmost professionalism and kindness! Steve did a fabulous installation job and understood the survey and fence placement so that we never had to worry about a thing. Their prices are fair and they are second to none when it comes to every aspect of the experience of having a fence built! Thank you Dewitt Mills fence co! You are awesome!
We had Big Oscar Landscaping of Kingston, NY, give our house a wonderful makeover last May 2024. Our original plan was to replace the front and back steps and the sidewalk connecting them. Big Oscar was very helpful in guiding our vision and improving on our ideas. We decided on the steps and sidewalk, along with stone veneer on the house, a patio and a defined space for a fire pit. We got high quality materials and exceptional work. They were meticulous with each phase of the process. They will be back this fall to cover the chimney with the same stone! We haven’t used our back yard this much in many years! Thank you so much Big Oscar Landscaping!
Green Valley Landscaping was recommended to me by a friend and I was more than impressed with the outcome of my yard project! A very hardworking team willing to do work in all seasons. It’s hard to find an accommodating team that’s ready to meet your needs and you can trust to do the work, but at Green Valley they know what they’re doing!
My initial appointment with Dr. Cruz was outstanding. He was friendly and professional, ensuring that I understood all my options for the required dental work. I left feeling well cared for.
I just came from my appointment with Dr. Jeff and staff, this time I was on a knee scooter because of a foot operation. They took excellent care of me. Definitely 5 stars or more!!
Dr. Marc is a gem! He is knowledgeable, kind, thorough, and has a tremendous healing touch. I would recommend him to anyone. Angie, his trusted assitant is also an absolute delight. I love seeing them when the going gets tough. Thank you!
I have been gratefully receiving chiropractic care for more than 50 years. I recently had to find a new doctor when my old one retired. He recommended his doctor, Linda Mandic-O'Sullivan. She is the best. There was a time when I used to go every week, and then every month. I am planning a visit now and cannot remember the last time. I am an active 76-year-old athlete, still playing tennis most days, biking, hiking. I do not experience pain when I wake up and do not suffer from charley-horse or the other usual accompaniments to exercise associated with aging. I take good care of myself, and when I need some help, like after an auto-accident or other injury, Dr. O'Sullivan is my choice. Her practice is prompt and professional, her manner is welcoming and comforting, positive and encouraging.
I was in the worst pain ever after painting and looking up at a ceiling for too long. I couldn’t swallow it hurts to do anything. After seeing him and following his advice I was feeling better in a few hours and now 2 days later I’m almost completely pain free. He is so much more knowledgeable than the last chiropractor I had been seeing. Highly recommend John to anyone considering seeing him.
Dr.soltanoff he has made my life change for the better I was hit by a car and in do much pain seeing do many DR just to have surgerys and PT and still nothing still so much pain and no one is tell me what is really going and I was not able to walk I am now walking with a walker all Bec of poor care from all these so amazing so called DRs so I call this god send mad called DR.SOLTANOFF my first visit he told me so much info and then he did his magic and I mean magic I was able to walk so much better with the Walker and my pain went down and now this DR gives me so much hope that I didn't have thinking I will never walk again it will be a long road to but I was at the point that there is not I can do to fix this that this is what my life will be but no not now I will walk again thank you so much u gave me hope
I personally would like to thank Dr. Alden for taking our golden retriever Bear as her client. I spent thousands of dollars at another veterinarian office locally and when my dog had a problem they could not see him. He’s a larger dog and when he woke up in the morning, he could not walk on one of his legs. I called our veterinarian and their respond was they couldn’t see him that day, they were too booked up. Right away I started calling veterinarian offices and called Kingston Animal Hospital. Thank you very much Dr. Alden for seeing bear and taking care of him that day. It was something very simple. He just had an abscess inside of his paw. I’ve had a few emergencies with our dog and Dr. Alden has always been there for me. I will never use another veterinarian. I highly recommend Dr Alden. I would give her 10 stars if I could.Sue
Have been to a few other vets in the area over the years but non of them can compare to Kingston Animal Hospital. Have been seeing Dr. Alden close to 20 years and she is the best, never rushed and listens to my concerns and very compassionate.
Professional & compassionate! Our Mini Dachshund needed an emergency C-Section last night. We have been breeding dogs for over 30 years & the care we received was absolutely exemplary. Excellent communication. Great team work among the staff. 3 gorgeous, lively pups & a blessedly Healthy & attentive Momma dog. Brava & thank you to Dr. Juliano, Anna & Cindy. Well done!
I moved to Kingston recently and this studio has been one of many wonderful places to land in Kingston. They offer a very welcoming and inclusive atmosphere with so much attention to each student having a positive experience. It’s obvious how much effort the owners and the teachers put in to making this studio a place where people can feel comfortable and get a good workout.
This is THE place! Hotspot Yoga is an absolute gem in the Hudson Valley. Best teachers, best people, best classes! 10/10 recommend experiencing authentic Bikram yoga at this studio!

This is the best Pilates experience I have ever had: thorough, fun, tailored to one's personal needs. Nora is professional and personal in her teaching with all her students. I love it and it has made a difference in my body and my life.
I have been a student of Petie Russo since 2005. I began with Pilates classes and am currently taking Gyrokinesis and Gyrotonic classes with Petie in her Kingston Physique studio.
Had a wonderful experience! I had Nikki, she talks you through everything she is gonna do without over talking making it relaxing. She gives tips on what to do with muscles and over all was a great experience! Very clean and such a great friendly environment

Jesse's experience as a massage therapist always impresses me. Her assessment skills are attuned. She hears my concerns and builds a plan with me for how we will spend the time in session. Her hands are extensions of her amazing combination of intuition and knowledge. I appreciate that by the time I leave a massage with her, she has dissolved my distress. Jesse has the capacity to be flexible and let's me 'zone out' and breath rather than being very chatty. I would say 'melting' is a good way to explain how she helps me help her let the volume of my muscle tension go. I have had multiple whiplash accidents as well as head injuries and my body trusts her from my many experiences with her co-creating the path we take with what I present in a session.
Liz is a true professional and an intuitive healer. As someone who experiences chronic muscle aches, her approach is perfect for my needs. Treat yourself to a session that is pure gold!
Outstanding massage. I will definitely return and highly recommend to anyone looking for some body work. I came in with some discomfort in my neck and arms and there was noticeable improvement as soon as the appointment was over. Thank you Jun!
Out of all the massage places in kingston these people are the best they do what u ask and everytime it gets more stronger n intense then the last I couldn't recommend this place enough. Keep up the good work.
I have gotten massages from Sara for almost a year now. I got the prenatal massages and Sara was completely accommodating, patient and made me feel comfortable with each session. She always asks what area of the body to focus on and works on that area diligently. She truly is the best masseuse I’ve ever had!
Amazing chair massage. I was in town and had a really tight neck and back. I was able to walk in and schedule a 30 minute chair massage on the spot. It was one of the best massages I have ever gotten and I immediately felt better. Great prices too, calm atmosphere. If I lived closer I would come here often!

Corrine is an innovative, intuitive, and incredibly skilled masseuse. I felt very taken care of and all my difficult spots were addressed. I cannot recommend her enough. I will be returning, for sure.
I went to Kari, today! It was amazing! Kari is so sweet and friendly!! She is also very knowledgeable about what she does! The massage was so relaxing and I felt like I was in Heaven!! I felt sooo much better! I HIGHLY recommend her!!
I had a great 90 minute massage with Tim. Lovely therapy room with good quality sheets and a nice, thick blanket. I asked for firm pressure and actually got it! I didn't have to ask for additional pressure even one time. Tom took cues and talked when I wanted but was quiet when I didn't. Prices are excellent for the area. My back feels better than it's felt in months.
