The Right Place For Finding The Right Pros Near You!
I love this nail shop. The owner, Nancy, is amazing. She really treats each customer on an individual level and shows great detail to her work, which shows on her finished product.
My friend and I came here yesterday for a mani/pedi and let me tell you, we had a wonderful experience! I moved to the bay over 5 years ago and I've never been able to find a nail spa that I love....til now! Amy did an amazing job with my mani and pedi! The staff took their time and they were very thorough. We were there for over an hour and a half and came out super relaxed! This is the best nail spa in the bay hands down! Believe me, I've gone to so many and nothing comes close to Jadyn Taylor Nail Spa!
Really great experience here. I got the green tea pedicure for $10 extra- very enjoyable. It's one client at a time in the spa, so great for the never-ending Covid concern. I will definitely go back.
The best place to get your gel mani and pedi, Stephanie knows what she's doing and is so creative! She offers different types of services for your nails always has the best in products she takes care of your nails and gives you exactly what your looking for. Makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed. The salon is unique and always very clean. Very pleasant experience coming in and getting pampered. I LOVE this place ❤️
Service was wonderful! Got a mani/pedi and she did a beautiful job and really took her time. Super happy with the result!
Nice to come back home to my old shop☺️ glad I did it. Nice work reasonably priced
My family and I have been going here for more than four years now. Kathy is very professional and knowledgeable about long-term nail health. She’s very thoughtful and thorough about her customer’s health and safety, especially since COVID-19. Highly recommend going if you don’t mind getting your nails done by yourself.Note: Nailbar is appointment-only and appointments can be made online.
Little hard to find unless you knew The Logo DG was on the store front and I did not make that distinction. Staff personnel was very professional and the pedicure was great. Will return the next month or so.
I really like it they really take the time and be patient when dicide on color and come out lovely ?
Lily and Cindy did an amazing job, during both of my mani/pedi visits! (As a former cust9mer service expertise in hospitality and hotels) I love their customer service skills! Top notch! Their mani/pedi are long lasting. The entire staff are sweet and kind! Highly recommended!
Perfect spot for pedicure in Alameda . The Nail tech photographed here was excellent.. Order a classic pedicure for $22Service: Pedicure
I love getting gel extensions. They stay on for 3-4 weeks. I had my extensions “removed” here but the technician left a lot of the gel on my nails. The pedicure leaves something to be desired, however I have gone to another salon to get my nails done and me nail spa is much better!! They put a lot of detail into the nail
I absolutely love this nail salon!!! The experience is always a pleasure. They techs are so kind and take their time and ensure you feel no discomfort. I highly recommend this salon!Services: Nail designs
The positives: Overall they did a good job. My nails looked nice - neat, with an even paint job, very professional looking.The negatives: It was quite pricey - $70 to remove gel extensions + reg gel manicure + tip ?. She also cut a bit of my hyponychium (skin between the finger and the nail) which was super uncomfortable - which lasted for a few days. I wanted round (I wasn’t asked which shape I preferred) but after I was given square and after my finger was nicked I decided to go with it and not mess with her flow.They prob do a great job for people getting gel on natural nails.
I really enjoy getting my nails done at Hi Tech, the ladies are very friendly and provide great service. They don’t try to upsell services. The shop is clean and the massage chairs are great. I dont feel like they rush. I call ahead if I don’t have an appointment they are usually spot on with the wait time.
I had a great haircut and overall experience at Honey Salon with Joan. She was very attentive and kind. After discussing what I wanted she pointed out some areas that needed adjustment since the last haircut was growing out a little sparse. I love the end result, she cut nice long layers defining around my face like I wanted. Her little poodle, Suki is a delight. Highly recommend her.
Chelsea is incredible! I found her after my stylist of 15 years moved to a different state :(. I was really nervous to try someone new, but after browsing through Chelsea’s IG I felt fairly confident that I was going to be in good hands. What an understatement!! Chelsea literally rules. She REALLY listened to what I wanted, assessed my current situation and suggested a few changes. Then she got to work! A couple of hours later, my hair was transformed from a frizzy mane to curls popping! She also corrected the color to better reflect what looked good with my skin tone. During the entire experience, we had a fun conversation that never felt forced - even though we’d just met. I LOVE CHELSEA and can’t wait for my next cut - which will be in just a few weeks as she offers a maintenance trim after 3 months. Thank you so much, Chelsea. I’m so glad I found you!Services: Haircut
Nicole did an amazing job with my full highlights! My first time with her, she took her time and delivered beautiful results but for some reason, the colors didn’t come out lighter like I wanted them to (based on the inspo pic) so I was able to come back in to add some lighter, framing pieces for no charge- which I really appreciated. I also got some tips on how to keep hair color fresh and how to style/protect. I would recommend Nicole and the entire salon to any one I know especially my curly friends!
I booked an appointment with Marlo for cut and color to try and correct damage to my hair by a previous stylist. She listened to my concerns and was able to come up with a realistic timeline as to what needs to be done. By the time I left I couldn't believe how much better my hair looked after just one appointment, for anyone needing color/cut correction I would highly recommend Marlo!
Getting my hair done by Jessie is one of my favorite ways to treat myself! She's extremely talented and knowledgeable about hair care. I always leave her salon feeling great and with new beauty tips. In my experience, it's hard to find stylists who know how to color and treat asian hair, and I trust Jessie fully. I moved an hour away, and I still make the drive to see her. I'm overdue for a haircut/color, and looking forward to my next visit.
I got my hair cut about a week ago with Masooda, and let me start with the important bit: it was the best, most professional haircut I’ve ever had. I’m normally the type who immediately goes home after a haircut to wash and style my hair myself, but this time I left it for days, and am still aspiring to style it just how she did - not that it needs it! This cut is exactly what I’ve always wanted, and I am amazed at how easy it was for Masooda. She’s perfect, this salon is perfect, I’m a fan for life!
Ashley was amazing. She listened to exactly what I want. I love how she cut my hair. Great vibe and conversation. I have found my forever hair stylist!!Service: Haircut
Jordan is awesome! She cut my hair from very long to the cutest bob. I definitely recommend her and am going back!Service: Haircut
It's been a while since Ive gone to a real professional for my hair. This was a real treat!!! She was so nice and thoughtful of all my needs! I'm a disabled woman, and Suzette was so considerate of my ability. I have long hair, so I knew getting a vivid color refresh would take some serious time. Thanks for providing me with free water and even free mini carrots to snack on. Made me look amazing! Will definitely be going back!!
I love my hair stylist!! she always makes me happy when she does something to my whether is hair color or extensions.. She always amazes me with her work! I would recommend Vanessa to everyone!
Clean, friendly, accommodating and good at what they do for entire family (kids, teens, & adults, men and women). Been coming for years. Great service at reasonable prices.
I saw Jenene in October and she gave me the cutest haircut. It's easy it feels so much lighter she gave me some bangs lots of layers. She also recommended some great products that have made my life so much easier. Oh and I can't forget the pops of purple she put in my hair. If you want some fun hair you definitely need to book with her!
Updated review. I've been coming to Bella for over 20 years. Sam always does a perfect job on my hair. He gets me in and out, great conversation, and has a clean shop. Covid has effected all businesses, but probably hit the hardest on salons. Give Sam a call and book your appointment today.
My first time here. Very impressive, Very professional and creative, especially the owner Miss Ashley. For women hair stylish, I recommend this one ❤️Service: Hairstyling
Amazing!!!!! The only place I trust with my haircare and hairlife. Will forever be my go to Salon and will def recommend all the time.
One man barber shop with a chill vibe. Eric is good with the clippers as he is socializing. No awkward conversations in front of other people, because it's just you and him. When he cuts your hair he cleans you up with baby powder, moisturizer, and a hot towel.
My husband had a great experience here. The shop is small and quiet. Brad was very thorough and precise. All the staff we met were very friendly and welcoming, we will definitely be coming back.
Great fade, online scheduling, one of the least expensive places in the area but not because they're sacrificing quality- what's more to want! Oh, what's that you say, I'm super queer and they were still very friendly and zero weird vibes? Even better!
Best cut in town, and the guys are welcoming, open minded and have great chat.Most barbershops are uncomfortable for us gays, but Frank Logan is super chill.I’ve seen Alex every few weeks since moving to Alameda to keep my style sharp.
I’ve been seeing Giuseppe for about a year now and really like his work. I’ve not become a “number” as he checks in with me each time we meet; keeps it fresh.Giuseppe is a pro!
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 ✂️
Amazing haircuts!! One of the few barbershops I trust for my haircuts. The staff is friendly and the price is more than reasonable for what you’re getting. Go here if you’re looking for good barbers who cut for a reasonable price.
Sonny was *fantastic*. He gave me one of my favorite haircuts of my life. Thanks so much!Haircut price: $25
Judy and the young guy cutting hair always do a great job. Cash only $31 as of January 2024
This is the only person who I let touch my body for my tattoos. Mr. Eric Reed!!!!!
Bry is the sweetest tattoo artist, it was my first tattoo and they made me feel so comfortable. Asked about mobility needs for when I was getting my tattoo because I was laying down which I really appreciated. They were really good about checking in for breaks and about how things were feeling. It’s a painful and stressful experience to be stabbed thousands of times but the atmosphere made it feel like a spa day. No shortage of cool stuff on the walls to occupy yourself and ignore the pain. Bry’s talent is absolutely incredible, my seasoned tatted friends were all super impressed by the quality of their work and I was too! I got one of their flash designs and their art is incredible, and I’m glad to have it on my body forever. Overall, it was a great experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better first tattoo experience.
Ricky did my first tat 34 years ago. Today is is still the Best in the bay area
First time seeing Raul for knee and carpal tunnel pain. He was very professional and communicative. The biggest difference I noticed was improvement with my sleep (I was also experiencing insomnia for about a month). I’ve had the best sleep since my session. I also felt relief in my arm (where I experience carpal tunnel), as well as overall release of tension in the upper body. Will be scheduling regular monthly sessions. The space was also very comfortable, easy to find, and plenty of parking.
I just had my first appointment with Felix, and I could not believe the range of motion I had in my neck and shoulders when my session was completed. Felix took the time to explain how muscles and nerves function with the brain; it was very helpful.I look forward to my next appointment in order to maintain a healthy body.
I just had the most delightful lymphatic draining massage from Jessica. I had never done it before (only watched YouTube videos about it) so wasn't sure what to expect. Jessica is extremely knowledgeable and nurturing. My symptoms are much relieved (tenderness, swelling post procedure). I highly recommend her and will be coming back!
Who do other therapists go to when our shoulders and hips are hurting? John, 100%. John is very talented and caring. I really appreciate his knowledge of anatomy and honesty that I would need less massage if I exercised more!
Katy is an incredible massage therapist with a warm, grounding presence. Her Alameda space (centrally located mid-island within the charming Good Witch Wellness ) is beautiful, soothing and sanitary. Katy deeply listens to what it is you and your body need and her massage quickly melts away any tension. Based on what I was looking for Katy combined foot reflexology, gentle yet effective deeper tissue work and soothing swedish strokes, for a wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Katy is so well attuned to her clients, offering suggestions to breathe and let go of what you don't need in a way that's unobtrusive and healing. Go see Katy for your next massage - your body and spirit will thank you!!
Highly recommend Krystal! I had major surgery recently and need massage as part of my recovery process. Krystal has been such a wonderful person to work with. She's talented for sure. But she is also a great listener, caring, flexible and compassionate. As an example, I couldn't lie on my stomach for a while post-surgery. Krystal set up an accommodation so that I could be in a comfortable position and still get the therapy I needed. She's great!
I absolutely love my massages with Erin. I have been in the wellness industry for 30 years and I've had many massages. There are a number of reasons why I continue to see Erin for monthly massages. One is that she is very consistent, so I always know I'm going to have, the perfect massage with each visit. Her location is great. There is parking behind the centrally located building in alameida. Erin has remodeled her suite and it's like walking into a very modern, very clean, but still very cozy massage studio. My body always feels so much better as I suffer from some injuries and she knows exactly how to therapeutically work my muscles, but also allows for me to relax. Her pressure is on point! I typically like a deep tissue massage and she delivers that without pain I highly recommend scheduling your next massage with Erin.
Kristin is absolutely wonderful!I had been to a couple massage places around Alameda and didn't find one I absolutely loved. I came across Kristin's place after reading the great reviews here and on her website, and have now been to see her twice!Kristin's location is very relaxing and cool. I love that it's just her and a single room - other "big box" massage places can feel stressful and non-personalized, especially for first-time goers. With Kristin, she makes you feel completely comfortable and starts each appointment sitting with you to listen to your areas of concern.During the massage, Kristin is careful and takes her time. I love that she lets you pick out the scents of the essential oils use in your massage, and she also offers an eye covering for when you flip over so you feel more relaxed and comfortable.I'm looking forward to visiting Kristin again soon!
I highly recommend Sowa Wellness! My company hosted a big event at our HQ in Sunnyvale with over 3k+ attendees last week, and we had 3 masseuse's come to our HQ everyday to provide massages for our VIP guests. Getting everything set up with them was seamless, the masseuse's all arrived on time and were all professional. Our VIP's loved it! I would highly recommend for your next event or staff appreciation!
She was amazing! She knows a lot about the scar "tissue issues"... I would recommend getting her to break apart your scar tissues and other ailments under her service. I was recommended by my fiancé' friend. A true diamond in the rough.
Hands-down, the best Massage experience I’ve ever had. The owner is absolutely the best. Her attention to detail is noticeable. Relaxing and clean first impression walking in the place is beautifully decorated, and the rooms are all pristine condition. Don’t overlook this little gem there’s definitely value here. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!
I had a wonderful massage at Hand and Stone Massage and Facial Spa. It was excellent and my knee pain is almost gone. I am feeling so much less stressed and relaxed - Thank you Diamond!
Really sweet ladies! They make sure you are happy with the results and offer affordable services.Services: Hair threading
Elisha did an AMAZING job as always. My lashes are beautiful and I left the spa feeling refreshed and relaxed. Elisha has years of experience and it shows in her extremely confident and professional when it comes to running her business. The spa is classy, well appointed and tastefully decorated, with an easy to find location and lots of parking. Highly recommended!!!
I went to another local salon for a curly cut and emerged with a dreadful straight bob that my naturally curly hair just couldn't sustain for more than a minute. Jenene saved my hair and thus my entire life! I was so very glad to find her and will never let anyone else cut my hair again.
Andrea is no joke! She will do everything possible to get you what you want! I met her in the late 1990s when she was starting out. She was great then. Then I hooked back up with her in June 2021. OMG! That girl has only gotten better! Not only does she do great hair, but she has a super duper personality! Such a marvelous person. Go here and you will leave grinning ear to ear every time! I will never see anyone else!
Jennifer is amazing! The salon is beautiful and relaxing. I had my first appointment with her today after being terrified to cut my curly hair for two years. My last cut I left in tears after thinning shears and a relaxer was used. I spent a lot of time searching for a new stylist and kept coming back to Jennifer’s website so I knew I needed to just schedule with her. Somehow I made a mistake and my appointment was for the wrong day, I drove two hours with an infant, my husband took two days off work and we stayed at a hotel before even knowing it was the day after what I thought. Jennifer switched appointments around and made it happen for me. I arrived and was welcomed with the offer of beverages or snacks. She explained everything she was doing so well and her assistant did so great on my wash and explaining noodling and wash techniques, my scalp felt amazing after. I did a luxury deep condition and am glad I did. She again offered a beverage so I accepted and had a sparkling wine. This was the first time I’ve been away from my baby for more than 45 minutes since she was born and I felt so relaxed and pampered. Jennifer waited to cut more length off until after washing and styling incase of shrinkage and then added in the extra layers I wanted around my face. She is a busy lady and I can see why, she is friendly, professional and thoughtful. She really knows why she’s doing and takes her time to make sure you’re happy. I left feeling so wonderful, my hair light bouncy and soft. If you need a cut and have curly hair Jennifer is your girl!Services: Shampoo & conditioning
I got my first lash extension here and have been coming here since! Thanh is amazing! I typically go for natural volume for special occasions, but I recently tried classic for a daily look and I love it.
She is my best hair stylist for the past 20 years. I drove over 60 miles to her salon from my new places and also went back after I was in overseas for 5 years.
Deirdre has been our go-to esthetician for many years. She is thorough, patient, funny and talented. Her work space is always clean and beautiful, and she's great about walking you through whatever she's doing (facials, makeup, etc). We highly recommend her to anyone wanting top notch care and an honest, warm and pleasant experience! She's helped my teen, my niece and myself all improve our skin and feel BEAUTIFUL!
Wonderful place to get your hair done. Patty is excellent and everyone is friendly.
Personal attention, nice staff, good treatment. Appointment only. In quiet part of Alameda, across from Maya Lin School.
Ericka is absolutely amazing! She is patient and very gentle. I fall asleep every time and she is always so sweet and keeps my head in place. I always feel so pretty when I leave her and I can't say thank you enough!!
Thank you Josie and Ashley for todays service! ? you both are super sweet and amazing. I can’t wait to come back for my Hair Color change ?
Great stylists! Small shop with a convenient location and (shhh don't tell everyone) the highest quality color service in the area. I made an appointment to see Beverly, who did an amazing job taming my pandemic ravaged hair and made me feel both like a member of the design team and the resultant work of art. Highly recommend.
I have been going to Xuan Beaautu salon over 5 years. For my hair cut and my nails. She always does a great job. With a lots of details and fair a price. She aways make me feel comfortable and I always happy when I leaveServices: Haircut
After not cutting my hair for a year, I went to Eddie with full trust. He asked what I wanted and I found an old picture of my hairstyle. He somehow made my hair look even better than it was in the photo and I couldn't be happier. I may have found my go-to spot for my hair needs. I definitely recommend.
Shelley is fantastic - I've learned a lot from her about what products trigger my skin, so what to avoid, what to do, etc. I always look forward to spending time at Conscious Skin Care.
Absolutely the best last extensions I’ve ever had! I very much recommend Tennille for all services. She is amazing and has the utmost attention to detail.
There isn't enough time in a day to cover all the amazing things about Vita and Allure Skin Studio! There is no one I trust more with My skin than Vita! She is a skin master and spa magician with all the best tools, techniques, and technology in her bag! She is so knowledgeable and I have done every treatment with her from monthly facials, to deep peels, to slimming infrared sudatonic body wraps! Her space is so warm and intimate. Her energy is calm and honest. I would pick a spa day at Vita's Studio over any Treatment you would find in SF or Sonoma! Vita is in demand so prepare to book a few weeks/months in advance. Have patience, she is worth the wait!
I was absolutely so pleased with skinGlow and with Viktoria. It was a very nice building very clean..when my daughter and I got into her salon it was so pretty and extremely relaxing. I brought my daughter age 17 in to see her and she explained everything she was going to do and why she was doing it. She was definitely extremely knowledgeable but explained everything so we could understand ..She was so thorough and so sweet. We were very impressed and loved how she took her time and was very personable. She was professional and made my daughter relax and enjoy. My daughter didn't want to get up when it was done. haha she loved her facial and on top of it her products are amazing and really have helped with my daughters skin and breakouts she was having. Would highly recommend skinGlow and we will be back and continue buying her clean and affordable products.
Well if you care about your eyebrows your in the right hands with Sunita! Sunita suggested I have my eyebrows threaded instead of waxed and she was spot on! I have never loved my eyebrows more! I will be returning for ALL my waxing and threading needs here with Sunita...I'm so happy to have found her!
Amazing facials. Chris really understands skin and helps me to reduce the additional stress I have when I get breakouts. She is so kind and flexible with scheduling and has saved me many times. If you're looking for a super relaxing, customized facial this is the place!
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!!
HURRY, RUN!!! Do yourself a HUGE favor and get a FABULOUS FACIAL from Elena at The Gorgeous Lady Spa! She has the softest, most incredible hands, and her facials are heavenly! I guarantee that you'll feel amazing and float out of there.Elena herself is sweet and charming, and a real treasure. Her expertise is superior and limitless, and her tips are fun and easy to do at home. Treat yourself or someone you love to The Gorgeous Lady Spa experience!
First time having Evelin! She was amazing, it’s been a while since having Brazilian wax so it can be painful. However Evelin is a pro and I had no discomfort. Plus she got every hair! Supper smooth!! Definitely booking with her from now on
This place is my favorite studio in the Bay Area. The energy there is so great and all the teachers are quite lovely. They offer a bunch of different types of classes which I really like. They also do sound baths and workshops. Definitely recommend.
I love taking yoga classes at Symmetry. The space is big and beautiful and welcoming. Plenty of parking, too. So glad they're offering online classes currently. Anne Gregory's classes are the absolute best!! Simultaneously challenging and restorative.
We had an emergency bathtub clog and Angel came and fixed it the same day we called him. He also cleaned out a slow draining bathroom sink. He was on time, courteous, knowledgable, and professional. Big Brothers Plumbing rates are reasonable and we would not hesitate to hire them again.
I just think it's great that I can finally call a plumber and not have to worry about the "how" when you get down to the basics. Plumbing Heroes: Alameda came to my house and had the job done in less than a few hours! It was great talking to them and they were very professional. The job was completed and there wasn't any damage to our building or property, which is always a relief on a big project like that one. Thanks to this plumber Alameda´s job!Service: Toilet installation
Honest plumber that’s seen a lot. Actually talked me out of bring me told me to save my money.
Great experience with Big Blue. This was my second time working with them, and they were very professional, knowledgeable and efficient both times.
Okay, this may be the weirdest, but most honest review you have read. We took on a lot of water during the atmospheric storms of this year, and called AT Weber. The first crew came out, and out of the kindness of their hearts, gave us a great solution to keep water out of the house in the ensuing storms, probably saving our foundation. After the storms, owner Todd came out twice and gave us two separate bids. As time went on, we had more info and realized the job was very large, and maybe at this time, too much out of scope and scheduling for AT Weber. Todd encouraged us to talk to another company, that referred us to another new start-up locally-owned drainage company, and we are going with them. I wanted to give them and Todd a shout out for holding our hands when we had over a foot of standing water in and around our crawl space and for being so responsible and professional. His patience and expertise, which I almost exhausted, are greatly appreciated. These kinds of concerned businesses are rare. I am very grateful to them.
Had a 220V outlet installed in my garage to be used for an EV/ Tesla charger. David and Genius gave a quote (masked). QE helped me obtain the permit. And David and Genius came back a couple of weeks later and did a clean, fantastic job. Great price. Would hire for other electrical work
Just here to say that even a decade later, David is still our go-to guy for electrical work even in our new home! Light fixture installs, removals, random electrical questions - he's our guy. Super happy with his services.
Love this guy, knows his stuff. My go to person on any electric question I have. He has done work on every place I have owned.Bit of a prankster But I recommend them highly.
Our lights suddenly started fliquering and we heard crackling from our fuse box on a Saturday evening. We were referred to T.E.K electric. Keith came promptly,inspected our panels and fuse box, identified and isolated the issue and made sure there was no threat for fire as we would have to wait to replace an old panel.Service: Electrical inspections
Thanks to this professional team. The work was exceptional! I am so glad I chose them to do my roofing. They were efficient, timely and responsible from start to finish. They are highly recommended!
The customer service at Adam Roofing was amazing. I needed them the same day and they really went above and beyond to come the same day and did the work the next day. Most of these companies didn't answer my calls, or were too busy to show up. Lucky I found them because they actually did great work and the leak went away.
I highly recommend Bay Roofing company. First, they provided an honest, fair, and competitive bid for our roof.Once we chose them, they were on time, and installed our roof with high quality and care. They were easy to talk to and always returned my messages.Their highest value is that I feel at ease that they will follow up their work. For example, a year later the chimney cap came loose because of high winds so they resolved it on a timely manner. Then, a few years later during heavy rains our valley started to leak. They resolved the manner in a timely manner as well.I highly recommend Bay Roofing Co.Services: Roof inspection
We had a leak issue and talking to Mike through a video call on the phone helped us to quickly identify and fix the leak. Also, Rain Defense has been fixing issues on our house for a while now. They documented every previous work which was great to help eliminate these items that's have already been addressed through past work.
Called and got return call the same day. Roofer came out ,on schedule, Quickly fixed the problem. Cost was far less than I thought it would be. highly recommend.
We engaged Collins Remodeling to renovate our second home, and we are thrilled with the outcome. The project focused on the kitchen and master bath, resulting in outstanding work. Our involvement spanned all phases--design, demolition, construction, and finishing -- guided by the team. They maintained cleanliness during construction and facilitated our comfort by leaving essential amenities functional. Weekly meetings kept us updated on progress. The attention to detail was evident throughout, culminating in an exceptional outcome. We endorse Collins Remodeling for their excellence and professionalism, eagerly considering them for any future luxury remodeling endeavors.!!!
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!
Our wood patio had rotted out and taken down. A contractor who didn't do patios highly recommended and referred me to Taylors Patios. The team leader Stewart was at our house the next day and drew a design plan for us to see. Very detailed going over the structure, showing us sample pieces and cost, which was amazing, for what we were getting. During the materials being ordered through the completion (which his crew did surprisingly in one day), Stewart made himself available at all times. They put in light fixtures on the posts, ceiling fan with lights and shades on one side, to block the sun. It came out beautiful and they did a thoroughly professional job. I will recommend it to others. Thank you for a fantastic job
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.
Mark is incredible. He restores our couches, rugs and carpet to look brand new. Thank you Mark!!
My carpets are 15 years old and I have 2 large dogs that track in all kinds of dirt and 2 kids and my carpets actually look brand new after Cleaner Carpets cleaned them! I've had my carpets cleaned by several companies in the past and none of the previous cleaners were able to get my carpets anywhere close to as clean as Cleaner Carpets. I've had Cleaner Carpets clean my carpets several times in the past and the only reason I even tried other companies is because Cleaner Carpets was already booked up on the days I was looking for, but the other companies were really a waste of money because the carpets didn't get anywhere as close to clean as when Cleaner Carpets cleans them. If your #1 priority when hiring a carpet cleaner is to have your carpets as clean as possible, this is the company to hire!
The practitioners at Good Witch Wellness are knowledgeable, attentive, caring, warm, and down to Earth. The space is clean, inviting, relaxing and comfortable. My quality of my sleep improved immediately and I am already feeling better. Easy parking! On a very cute block in a cute neighborhood!
Tracy is fantastic, for so many reasons! I came to Island Acupuncture for fertility support, once we decided to expand our family with baby #2. I had never gotten acupuncture before, and I'm so grateful to have found Tracy. It took us 7 months to conceive our first child (within average but still grueling!), so at the young age of 36 I wanted to do all I could to improve our chances with baby #2. So to Island Acupuncture I went!Long story short - We got pregnant on our very first try! I started weekly sessions with Tracy about 3 months before we planned to start trying, to prepare my body for a healthy conception and pregnancy. We weren't expecting it to happen right away, but we conceived on our first attempt after 3 months of treatment! I'm now 24 weeks along and have since moved away from Alameda, but I definitely would have continued with Tracy through the pregnancy if I could.In addition to acupuncture, I got so much more than I expected out of the experience. Tracy demonstrates such kindness and empathy in her treatment, seeking to understand not only your physical needs/concerns but also the emotional side. She takes time to help you understand what she's doing and why, and went above and beyond to advise on my holistic fertility journey - not just the acupuncture and herbal supplements she provided. She recommended a free fertility app to track temperature, ovulation, and menstrual symptoms, and took time before each session to review that week's chart and help me better understand my own reproductive system. I also appreciate that she never claimed her tools were the definitive answer to fertility - she was honest and research-driven in her approach, often explaining that these were simply drops in a larger bucket, contributing to a healthier reproductive cycle. She's a kind and brilliant practitioner and I cannot recommend her more!
After 20 years of including massage as part of my self care, I am delighted and grateful to have found Kimberly! With a balance of expertise and compassion, Kimberly provides therapy that feels great in the moment and long after. Stop hesitating and just make an appointment!
The Alameda Community Acupuncture is the BEST!Extremely kind, caring and attentive. The ambiance is truly peaceful and relaxing! I highly recommend visiting for stress, specific health issues, and chronic pain.
I’m so happy I found Dr. Men! She has been helping me a lot with my skin, digestive, stress, and back pain issues these past couple months. She is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and very passionate about TCM. Her diet and lifestyle recommendations on top of the herbal and acupuncture treatments has seriously been changing my life for the better. My acne is almost completely gone, I’m a lot less stressed and anxious, I’ve been sleeping finally, and my back is significantly better. Follow her advice!!
Five stars! Highly recommend! I've been a client at Adria's office for some time now. The acupuncture and cupping really helps a lot with my shoulder stiffness and upper back pain. The treatments also help manage my chronic tinnitus issue and helps reduce my stress. Her rates are really reasonable too. Note that the current Google map shows her old office location on Central Ave, she has since moved to another spot in Alameda at the corner of Encinal and High Street.
Melissa is wonderful in that she attentively listens to my complains and quickly helps me to put my current problem into a framework that allows me to understand what's going on on a deeper level. I might come in with a sinus problem and leave feeling much better after the acupuncture treatment and with the understanding that I have been depleting my kidney chi and therefore will have to rest more in order to avoid sinus problems in the future. I feel so much more equipped to deal with my physical challenges because she is always there to help me and send me on the right path to better health. I also do a lot of sports and have found that she is an expert in helping joint and spinal pain. She is amazing! With acupuncture, cupping and herbs she has been able to keep me active even through menopause.
This is an overdue review but I just want to share my experience & how thankful I am to Jacob. I've heard that accupuncture could help with conceiving, which had been an ultimate goal of mine for some years. After going to Jacob last November 2021, I decided to get his package deal it was 5 or 6 sessions for a great price. I explained to Jacob I was there for both some should pain as well as trying to conceive. He focuse on points that would help both. Every session was so relaxing, I'd go on my lunch break and come back to work so refreshed yet also sleepy. LoL anyways my last session with Jacob was early/mid January 2022 and I ended up conceiving at the end of February! Coincidence? I think not, doing accupuncture took so much stress off my body that I truly believe that it helped me to conceive. I can't thank Jacob enough & would recommend him to anybody. I plan to see him again in the future whether it's during or after my pregnancy.
I began receiving treatment from Dr. Christine a little over a month ago and her care has significantly and positively impacted my life during that short time. By helping me to incorporate better nutrition/supplements & self-care practices and beginning acupuncture with her business partner Rebecca, my physical ailments and mental health struggles have greatly diminished. I don't ever remember feeling this healthy and balanced in my entire life. The changes are so noticeable that colleagues are starting to ask me for her contact info. Also, Heidi in their office is super helpful with supporting clients.
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).
Julie is amazing. Started seeing her years ago with neck pain. She helped me recover and get back to a healthier me. She is a true healer.
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 can’t say enough great things about Dr. Heidi at Feel Good Chiropractic! My son started seeing Dr. Heidi at 2 months due to issues with spitting up after feedings, favoring one side during breastfeeding, being gassy, constipated, fussy \u0026 suffering from tongue \u0026 lip ties. Dr. Heidi was very informative and worked diligently on my son. I noticed changes in his bowel movements after his first adjustment! My son has been getting adjustments for a little over a month and his issues have severely improved! Her office is equipped with a nursing/ changing room. She has a comfy rocking chair to nurse, a changing table with wipes and different size diapers, and a little area for toddlers to play…. Plus she has drinks for us thirsty mamas! Overall, Dr. Heidi is the best and you won’t regret seeing her!
Dr. Reyes is a miracle worker! I was moving and developed ciatica so bad that I could barely walk. Standing for more than 10 minutes was excruciatingly painful. During my first visit I found some relief, but I was so tight and in so much pain, even minimal relief was great.On my second visit, after using ice and stretching as recommended, Dr. Reyes was able to get significant movement in my hips and lower back. I walked out of the room with no pain!!!! I was able to stand and bend for over 4 hours before taking a break.Dr. Reyes is fantastic! He is the best of the best ? I'm looking forward to my next visit.
I came to see Dr. Blanchard back in late February for really bad burning neck pain and head. I was crying and did not know what to do. I've never had that kind of pain before, ever! My husband contacted her. She was the only chiropractor available on a Sunday. My C1 and C2 were misaligned, I learned from Dr. Blanchard. She made an adjustment on my neck and the pain slowly subsided. I also had the best sleep in such a long time. I learned alot from Dr. Blanchard about health, food, wellness. Thank you Dr. Blanchard. I am very grateful. Thank you for all that you do. - Lynn
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
Dr. Chris Galeotti really helped me when I was in severe pain. I felt a difference within the first 3 sessions. He was extremely respectful of my trepidation about neck adjustments, for one thing. His adjustment methods are gentle but effective, and he also utilized other therapeutic modalities like ultrasound to address my immediate acute pain. After the pain subsided, he addressed other structural issues going on with me that had likely contributed to that situation, and employed PT exercises and a cervical spine realignment tool to use at home.We also had many great discussions about other health topics, and he’s just got a great manner and easy to talk to. He was very good about showing me exactly how to do certain exercises, and patiently answered my many questions.I’m sorry I won’t be able to receive his services anymore, having just moved out of the area. It’s so hard when you find great health providers and then have to relocate and find new ones. But I definitely recommend “Dr. Chris,” as his patients call him, if you need chiropractic services in Alameda or the general East Bay area. :)
Dr. Le is terrific! I've been seeing her for about four years, and always leave my appointments feeling better. She's professional and thoughtful, remembering between visits how past issues might inform my current situation. She's also very kind, and keeps her prices reasonable.
Dr. Clo and Taiiane are exceptional at their work! Their staff is friendly; the facility is pleasant, relaxing, and clean; and best of all: they always fix me!
dr. Chris and team are phenomenal. Always bright smiles and happy atmosphere. Very professional and respond quick to all appointment needs and or changes. I would highly recommend this business to anybody that is in need of a chiropractor.
Dr. Dannielle is amazing. She is a great listener and has much experience to help you and your body. I have had several sessions where it almost feels magical. Where I can breath and move and practically see more clearly. She has the most wonderful, gentle touch. Finder her has been one of the best self-care things I have ever done. She has helped me after my first child birth and now through my second pregnancy. I cannot recommend her enough!
Thank you for taking my appointment even though you were closing your office for the evening while I was in extreme pain with shoulder spasms. I really enjoyed visiting both your Alameda and Fremont office. You listened to my issues, very patient and extremely knowledgeable. I am thankful that I recovered and I owe that to your care. If you want good traditional care and not a Chiropractor that is trying to sell you a bundle package that you don't need, go to Dr. Forest.
Dr. Wong is amazing! He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and super skilled at what he does.
My first visit with Dr. Basco was wonderful! My previous Chiropractor Retired, and I was looking for a new one. I'm very ? happy. He Provided the adjustment, Heather pads, Muscle Stimulator, and Hydrotherapy table. Also, I love the Location. I will be back.
I threw my back out lifting weights and Dr Lee fixed me up in just two sessions. She identified the problem and performed a low impact adjustment that had me feeling good as new almost immediately. I came back once just for a follow up. Truly excellent work.
I went to Dr. Davis after getting into a car accident. He was able to show me x-rays of my spine & explain where my problem areas were. After going for a couple of appointments, I’ve been feeling much better and I’m able to gain my normal movement back! Would definitely recommend going to Dr. Davis.
Very friendly caring staff. Good Veterinarians. Very efficient. I am so grateful to Dr. Wallace for her thoroughness. She got to the bottom of an ongoing issue my dog has been suffering from. My chihuhua is now happier and healthier thanks to Dr. Wallace and the fantastic staff.
As a client for 3 years, I can confidently say that Marina Village Vet is exceptional. The staff is knowledgeable, caring, and attentive. They provide personalized care and they’re holistic. I highly recommend them!
Khalil helped me through every possible step and was very attentive to detail, I highly reccomend scheduling with Academic Driving School.
James is AWESOME! All of them actually! The instructors are truly truly great. And they prioritize safety so much i was so comfortable throughout the entire process
Fantastic experience! The expertise is top notch. I wish all medical practices brought this level of care to their patients.
I’ve been taking a class with Michael for almost a year. We focus on balance, strength building and coordination. Skills that I use throughout my daily life. Michael has a vast knowledge base, extensive experience and a keen ability to make modifications. His easy going and non-judgmental approach make our class enjoyable. I highly recommend him for 1:1 and group classes.
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Alameda has been a fantastic experience for my daughter, blending martial arts training with essential life skills like self-discipline and respect. The instructors are dedicated and passionate, fostering an environment that encourages growth and confidence. It's more than just learning techniques; it's about developing character and resilience. I appreciate the positive influence this academy has had on my daughter, making it a valuable part of our community. A solid five stars for their commitment to not only teaching martial arts but also shaping young individuals.
Anthony provides a friendly, non judgmental atmosphere to work out in and reach your personal fitness goals. He tailors the workout to your goals whatever they may be - weight loss, general fitness, gaining muscle, etc. Clientele includes a wide variety of ages and training experience from beginner to intermediate. Workouts are done in small batches of 3 people during each time slot - so no waiting for machines, and you get personalized attention from Anthony. Workouts are circuit style, and Anthony can also tailor them on the fly depending on your current needs. The session lasts between 30-45 mins. You feel accountable to Anthony and the peer group you train with, and everyone pushes and encourages everyone else to train hard. You will leave exhausted but happy. If you're having trouble committing to a regular gym schedule, this environment is very conducive to developing a good gym habit. The health, fitness and confidence you gain from this affects every aspect of your life, so the cost seems insignificant for the benefits you reap. Anthony offers a free workout session where you can try out 1 day, and it's a nice way to test if you like it. I can't recommend Anthony highly enough - this will change your life.
Alameda Eyes is always focused on the patient and always flexible when making appointments or helping with decisions like glasses vs. contacts. Highly recommend.
I love this place! The kids enjoy their lessons with their teachers as they provide a good teaching relationship. It's fun to watch them work and get the techniques done successfully for the first time. Even the teachers get so excited!
Dr. Wong is amazing! He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and super skilled at what he does.
The quality of any martial arts training depends largely on the dojo in which it is practiced. And the dojo is a reflection of the Sensei that leads it. Mikhail Sensei leads Alameda Iaido and Genwakan Iaido Dojō with such a humble grace, always putting his students first, regardless of rank or experience while exhibiting a true understanding and remarkable prowess with the sword. That, coupled with an unflagging dedication to the direct transmission of this 450 year old art form and a meticulous scrutiny in his own practice make Alameda Iaido and Genwakan Iaido dojō the perfect place to train, learn and grow as a martial artist interested in Japanese swordsmanship.Mikhail Sensei goes out of his way to help students achieve their maximum potential and has never ever allowed ego or pettiness to make its way into the dojo either on or off the mat. His encyclopedic knowledge of all things related to this school of swordsmanship is shared generously and I personally have benefitted many times from his kindnesses and learned from his example. And this same kindness and humility he shares with anyone who steps through the doors of the dojo.(The dojo is also affiliated with the Kokusai Renmei in Japan and thanks to Mikhail Sensei nurtures the Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu lineage through his regular attendance at seminars around the globe.)
She was amazing! She knows a lot about the scar "tissue issues"... I would recommend getting her to break apart your scar tissues and other ailments under her service. I was recommended by my fiancé' friend. A true diamond in the rough.
I absolutely love my massages with Erin. I have been in the wellness industry for 30 years and I've had many massages. There are a number of reasons why I continue to see Erin for monthly massages. One is that she is very consistent, so I always know I'm going to have, the perfect massage with each visit. Her location is great. There is parking behind the centrally located building in alameida. Erin has remodeled her suite and it's like walking into a very modern, very clean, but still very cozy massage studio. My body always feels so much better as I suffer from some injuries and she knows exactly how to therapeutically work my muscles, but also allows for me to relax. Her pressure is on point! I typically like a deep tissue massage and she delivers that without pain I highly recommend scheduling your next massage with Erin.
This is a great dogo with dedicated senseis who don't give up on the students. I was apart of the dogo before moving away and when I came back they same senseis and some new ones started back up right where i left off. I would highly recommend this karate dogo to anyone interested in getting exercise, learning self defense and just have a great workout.
Dr. Juan is amazing! Last year, she noticed some abnormalities in my left and made a referral to a specialist. She is so thorough and extremely caring with excellent bed side matters. From my visit last year, I have continued to see Dr. Juang as my go-to optometrist. Love her and the entire staff!
My friend and I had our 1st pilates class together. We were met by the most friendly young ladies I've ever encountered at a gym. There gave such a warm and inviting welcome. We immediately felt as if we were there with a bunch of our girlfriends. We purchased our grip socks and were welcomed into the studio. Very clean and inviting. It was a small group which I appreciate so we all were able to pick the machine we wanted to work on. I was just so excited and I know that ouri instructor could sense our energy so she was just as excited. My friend is a 5'10 so the instructor was adjusting the machines for those who were over 5'5. She was so happy that she wasn't the only tall gal in the class. Class started slow and informative. Roshni walked us through and kept us all on the same pace. It was so fun. You will do the work, but it felt empowering. The one thing I did learn is that in pilates you have to be in tune with your body. You have to be aware of your breathing, movements, and your mind. I needed this reset. We were given the option to purchase memberships along with class schedules and other add ons. My experience was a 10! I'd recommend this location to all first timers. You'll be in good hands. Keep up the great work, ladies.
