The Right Place For Finding The Right Pros Near You!
On this coming 4th of July, I reflect on how much has been lost and gained in the United States, and so I sit and reflect at the places that mean so much to me.
Coming from a military family, I hope the lessons learned make us pause and think.
So here we stand, my wife and I in the middle of the golden gate national cemetery.
Here we visit, and we ponder the course of this nation. We visit what I call the "brass ridge". Here there are so many generals and admirals buried here, but not forgotten. As we walk through the greens and we stop at the tombstones of prominent and historical figures, I hear in the wind honor me, but remember the soldiers, sailors, Marines, Air force veterans that surround me and served this nation also. These were our men under our command.
Like Gettysburg, Manassas, Shiloh, the Alamo, Arlington and the national cemetery of the Pacific that I have visited. I remember with awe and wonder.
Another solemn place to visit. Moving to the soul and conscience.
I have had wonderful experiences with Kristina. She is an expert and really listens. I had eyebrows and lip blush done and will return hopefully in a few years when I’m due for a touch up.
I needed to have a large retaining wall along the property replaced. From the moment I met Jose, the owner of the company, I understood that he was very experienced, detailed, and knew exactly what he was talking about. His bid was prompt and very competitive. When the rains stopped, Jose, Osmin, and their crew started work, showing up at 8:00 every morning without fail and finishing their work day at 4:00. During the demolition and replacement of the wall, everyone was extremely polite and organized, and the site was left clean at the end of the day. The project, that also included replacing some stairs next to the wall, was completed on time and within budget. The wall and the stairs look great! I couldn't be more happy with Pacific Construction, and would highly recommend them to anyone in the Bay Area.
Our garage door was having issues and we called/texted a couple of businesses and they never called back or showed up. Arnold's was highly recommend on NextDoor. I called and spoke to John and he took my address and phone # and told me he wasn't be able to come until the next day. I was not expecting a call back; but he called and came the next day as promised. Very professional and punctual. Thank you John!!
This is the best optical experience I've ever had! Everyone is friendly and kind and I've never had a delay or unexpected reschedule.I got to see all the details of my exam, Dr Quong walked me through the images of my eye, explained what she looks for and how my eye looks. Always provides extra info.Getting my prescription is a breeze compared to other places that seem reluctant to provide it because they want you to order your glasses through them only.The reminder text messages and setting up appts over text are great and so easy compared to other places that don't use good communication methods, and having to play phone tag.This place is great and I can't recommend it enough!
I had a visible acne spot in the middle of my forehead that was around for over 6 months, and no other aestheticians I've visited were able to completely remove it. I asked for Michelle for an appointment, and in the first five minutes, she was able to remove it without any issue. Michelle took great care of my skin during the treatment and provided a comprehensive skin care routine to follow afterwards. I highly recommend Sunday Beauty!
Wow! Dr. Kelly is amazing. He made me feel super comfortable and was incredibly knowledgeable and funny. I was nervous as I've only ever had one eye exam and have been having bad headaches. He diagnosed me with a new, mild astigmatism and didn't try to convince me to buy anything. Lisa at the front desk was also super knowledgeable and was not a sales person, thank god, she was a customer service professional to the max. She answered all my questions and was up front about what I truly "needed" and could benefit most from. Felt incredibly supported and I definitely trust them as medical professionals and small business owners. I am so grateful I found Dr. Kelly! Small, curated selection of frames. Accept VSP insurance with amazing rates and discounts available on certain frames. Discount for purchasing multiples. I left having got driving glasses and sun glasses at an amazing value.
Update: I still come here for flowers for every event. Would come more if I actually had more events that need followers. They are so nice here.
Jess is the best. She worked very hard in getting me work. She was always very polite, professional, and gave very clear information to me. She always stayed in contact with me and answered all my questions. Select Staffing really looks out for their employees.
Really liked this place. The first real time I tried judo. It felt legit. The instructor was good (Sensei Chris?) and I appreciated that he paid attention to the newbies, giving more detailed explanations and tips. Everyone was beyond just nice. The students (black belts and lower belts) were abnormally friendly and supportive. It had a great atmosphere. I only went to the Tuesday adult class but it was a very diverse mix of students from older to younger (including two new 57 year old students) and from experienced to newbies. I also liked the venue. Nothing fancy, but It felt like a real old time school, which is my style.
I've known Lee since he became my realtor with our 1st home back in 2015. Fast forward July 2024, he's selling our house and with 2 open houses, sold that thing super fast with multiple offers and no contingency. Lee has been in this game for ages and knows more about real estate than anyone I know. He is easy to work with, communicates fast and gives his feedback as if it were his home. If your looking for a realtor in the Bay Area, look no further as Lee knows many people in this industry like lenders, contractors, inspectors, painters, and electricians, etc.. The value he provides is priceless, buying or selling he will get the job done without stress and headaches.
Feline did an excellent job styling and cutting my hair. Will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reasonably priced salon. So happy I decided to go here.
all i have to say is AMAZING!!! I have had so much trouble with my hair salon experiences over the past years. every time i would ask for a certain color or style, i would never be satisfied. of course as any person with bad salon experience, i walked in feeling a little anxious even though I've heard great things about this place. I was greeted by Ms. J and immediately noticed how friendly and outgoing she was. first we talked about what I wanted done with my hair and she talked me through how the process was going to go and i really appreciated that. not many stylists take the time to truly listen to what and how you want your hair done. Ms. J cut my hair first and kept it long just like i asked! I then transferred to Naomi and she proceeded to color my head. She is so impressive and sweet! She gave me some great advice on how to keep up with my hair and she walked me through every step on what she was doing with my hair. I was beyond impressed with the results and I could not stop smiling. This was the first time I was satisfied with my hair after going to a salon. 110% recommend Ms. J and Naomi, I was so happy I went to Catch 22. Not to mention the beautiful ambiance!! Will definitely be returning back soon :)
Great service! Did my hair extensions and I’m so happy with the results! Even recommended Linda to my mom lol.
Maria did a great job! Showed her a pic of the cut I wanted and she nailed it!Friendly and fast! Shampoo, cut and dry on my break!
Called the morning of to see if they are able to take last minute appointments. Yes, there was an opening 2 hours later. Took my son to get a haircut and loved that there was 3 different cars to chose from. He felt comfortable and didn't cry. Loved the cut and we'll definitely be back for his future ones
I loved my appointment with Tisha ! I had my first session of microdermabrasion done, my face felt so soft and clean afterwards. I will 100% be coming back to book with Tisha(:
They’re busy but it’s easy to make a booking, just call ahead of time.
She washed my hair, cut it short, then dried and styled — it came out looking clean and I’m already planning on going back in 2 weeks.
Dennis is a wonderful barber and an exceptional conversationalist. I normally dont enjoy sitting around waiting for my haircut to finish, but i had a great time talking with him. The final haircut was exactly what i was hoping for even though I didn't do a great job describing what I wanted
Annie's is just the best. Period. Affordable and always a good cut. I love that she's open on Sundays when so few other places are.
From the first time I came here, the amount of hospitality that I received as a first time customer was amazing. Ever since, this is the my go to spot for cuts. Their knowledge and mastery of their craft is evident in the end result. After all, we all need a good cut to feel good cause if you look good you feel good. So, if you want to feel good, get yourself trimmed up by Nelly and the rest of these amazing folk☝️
Visited this Barber shop whilst in town on a business trip. Nice guys, friendly place, good haircut. Price is comparable to other barbers in the same area.
In town for a couple days and stopped by as a walk in. Douglas was very inviting and delivered a perfect fade along with great conversation! Thank you D.
Specialties: Fade, razor shave
I started coming to Sammi after admiring my sister's nails for years. It took me a while to start coming to her 'cause of my hectic schedule, as I used to get my nails done at the last minute. But after being referred to her (thanks to my sister) I am happy to say I am completely "hooked". Her work is amazing and she is just a wonderful person overall. She always pays close attention to detail and does it swiftly and seamlessly, yet at the same time you never feel rushed. It's always a nice, calm quiet vibe in the salon, balanced out with her fun & friendly conversation. Some days I know exactly what I want and she works her magic... And other days I can also be indecisive on what to do with my nails, and thankfully Sammi comes through to help guide me with her input when I'm in one of those moods too. Lol. Needless to say, she never disappoints. I am ALWAYS happy with the ending results. She is a true professional at was she does. Another thing I love, is that she does top-notch, quality work. Whenever I get a fill and pedi it LASTS until my next visit (every 3 weeks), I never have any broken nails or chips. Thank you Sammi!!
Love it! Great experience. They were super meticulous when doing the manicure and pedicure. They were so kind!
I've been going to Jennie's for years and I love it! They are consistently good and everyone is good so you don't need to worry who you get. The first time I went in after the pandemic (it had been at least 2-3 years), Jennie remembered me and greeted me by name. Love my nails, love Jennie and love everyone who works there!
Kim is the best! Will definitely go back! She gets booked way in advance so I need to keep in mind to book ahead! I do like they are also open on Sundays!
Vogue Nail Spa, first of all, is very clean. Cleanliness is, for me, most important. Only things I want to leave with are less facial hair, beautiful fingers, toes & the relaxed satisfaction I paid for & they most definitely provide! I've NEVER had sore cuticles, nail fungus, wax burns, or a poor mani pedi experience!
The decor is open & refreshing. Vogue has multiple massage chairs & lots of space, so you don't feel cramped. The foot soaks smell good & tingle while the many chair settings relax you enough to fall asleep, except I'm so ticklish on my feet I giggle ridiculously. ? The plethora of polish colors are overwhelming & you can find ANY color of your choice, but there's always one that you want to try even though you already came with one in mind. AND while sitting next to other customers, you find yourself wanting to have done what they're getting because it's all fabulous. Ya only have 10 toes & 10 fingers, so... next time, I'll try that. After a Vogue experience, there is ALLways a NEXT TIME. If you want a good time!
Come on, VOGUE! Like Madonna's song, "All you need is your own imagination... Go inside for your finest inspiration... no difference if you're a boy or a girl. You can do it...Beauty's where you find it!...Go with the flow...Ladies with an attitude. Fellas that are in the mood...don't just stand there, get to it! Strike a pose, there's nothing to it!....VOGUE!!"
Requested style: At VOGUE you can have it your way. You can bring pictures of a design you want and they'll do their best to make sure you are satisfied!
I had a visible acne spot in the middle of my forehead that was around for over 6 months, and no other aestheticians I've visited were able to completely remove it. I asked for Michelle for an appointment, and in the first five minutes, she was able to remove it without any issue. Michelle took great care of my skin during the treatment and provided a comprehensive skin care routine to follow afterwards. I highly recommend Sunday Beauty!
Would recommend anyone interested in lash extensions to visit Dolly Effect! They are very informative and will explain the entire process. Highly recommend!
Needed a hair refresh before the summer and I'm so glad to have met Aileen! I sent her a photo of what I wanted prior to the appointment, and she said she would try her best to get it the same depending on my current hair. She uses good products and was attentive. She also gave suggestions based on what I had wanted, which was low maintenance highlights. Thank you Aileen!
Everyone at Salon Eleven : 11 is extremely talented! I personally see Carlyne and am so grateful for her kindness, patience and flexibility. As a busy new mom of two, I'm not able to keep up with my hair care as frequently as I'd like and I never feel judged or pressured to keep up with services like I have at past salons. She always makes sure I'm leaving looking and feeling my best. The space is super cute and the decor is insta-worthy and I love all of the products she uses. Highly recommend!
came here for a men's eyebrow waxing and it was one of the best experiences I ever had. The ladies here are intelligence, reasonable, and hygienic. excellent value at $12 for eyebrow waxing.
JACKIE did it again! She is fantastic and gets my color and cut just perfect every time. I am so lucky I found her and she is so open to my ever changing mood with my style. Thanks Jackie!
She has been my barber for many years. Besides bring a wonderful person, she is a great hair stylist.
I love Adi and her work of art, she's the best of the best in San Bruno ?
I've been seeing MaryAn for nearly a year and I'll never go anywhere else for a cut. I have naturally curly hair and it's hard to find a good stylist who is confident in cutting curls. She is also incredibly sweet and really listens to everything you say. Gary is sooo nice and they make everyone feel loved and welcome. I love their animal stories... The shop is super cute and it just makes you feel good to walk inside. Honestly, better (and cheaper) than therapy.
Lash Galore is a company you should definitely buy from and support!! I loved all my products. They shipped quickly and everything was perfect. Plus, the tweezers and lashes are extremely easy to use!!! My new go to for lash supplies.
Alva is a great stylist. I've also had my hair cut by the other woman who works there (forgot her name as I don't usually go to her when Alva is there) and she's good too, but Alva is my go to stylist. She does a great job with my wavy hair.
Pretty good, took longer than expected for a haircut, but results were good although.
I went to her salon with damaged hair from my worst hair salon experiences. She had fixed my hair color and done hair treatments. My hair turned beautiful again. Definitely I will be back.
I highly recommend these ladies. Carmen the owner is so nice. Nubia is very good at what she does. I didn't catch the other lady's name. I highly recommend coming here. Support a small business. you will not be disappointed. They do amazing hair.
Very sweet girl did my brow threading and tinting - they look great. She was so friendly and let me know about all the packages and stuff that would save me money. Clean professional environment - will definitely go back.
Rick is a real professional and well experienced plumber. I got my toilet replaced with a new one in less than 40 minutes. We worked thru Fidelity and had no problems getting a new toilet approved that is because he gave the insurance company the correct recommendation to resolve the issue I was having with my old toilet.
Broken water heater replacement. A polite woman answered the phone at 8 a.m. and scheduled a service call with San Bruno Plumbers. Service technician Kendrik replaced the water heater in an hour. He was knowledgable and courteous, answering all my questions. Installation was done professionally in a few hours. San Bruno Plumbers has always satisfied me.
So very, very sorry to hear of Jesse's passing. He was a great plumber and a very kind human being. Condolences to all of his loved one's. He will truly be missed.
We've had Scott for several of our needs over the years. He's very thorough & thoughtful about keeping the job clean & really makes every effort to be sure it's in good working order. Diane W. SSF
Excellent experience with Ed's. Fair, honest and exemplary. His work is excellent.
Highly recommend, we find them from google, they came very fast and fixed the switch quickly.
I can't say enough good things about Bart and everyone at 110/220. From start to finish their professionalism and timeliness was unmatched and so appreciated. After unsuccessfully searching for an electrician for almost two months for our complete home rewire and service upgrade I took to Yelp in a last ditch effort to find someone who could do the work that was now so far behind schedule and do I wish I had done it sooner! They were able to come for an estimate the same day and start the next week despite a busy schedule. They worked quickly and took care in the small details of the project. They are trustworthy and make you feel like you are in good hands, which is so important with such a significant job. Even when we had issues with our inspection due to an issue on the inspectors part, they saw it through and made sure everything was done as promised. Overall, I felt they are worth every penny and plan to hire them again for my next home project and have already recommended them to everyone I know looking for an electrician!
Highly recommend Bill's locksmith. Had a lock with no key. I tried a lock Smith (will leave nameless) and had no luck. Remember Bill's locksmith shop that a company I used to work at would use their services all the time. Call Bill's locksmith, and I'm glad I did.
Peter at Bill's was able to make me a key (it was not a simple lock). He is professional and personable and reasonable priced.
Art's service is undeniably the best in the peninsula. I went to copy keys, and he was done in 3mins.
WOW!! Amazing, thorough job. They even did an extra pass on our smelly dog room (master bedroom) and cleaned my office chairs for me.
Very professional and good communication from Fernando. They were also the most competitive price I could find. I’ll be calling these guys every 6-12 months now!!
We have used Kleenet for the past 5-6 years for the carpet/rugs/upholstery in our Palo Alto home. The owner, Robert, provides an excellent service at a very reasonable price and the results speak for themselves. If you are looking for a more personal experience instead of a faceless company, I strongly recommend Robert and Kleenet. And, note, Robert only uses pet friendly products and our cat, Mr. Bingley, gave Kleenet two paws up.
Accommodated me last minute on the same day, did a really thorough job with minimal fuss, and they were quick too. I look forward to using them again.
I don’t normally post Google reviews but this company honestly deserves the recognition. I’m not easily pleased and I must say, they exceeded my expectations. The cleanliness, the professionalism, the service, the list goes on. I finally found a cleaning service I am really happy with…thank you!
RSL Structural Inc. were extremely professional with our earthquake brace and bolt project at our house. Ricardo was great with explaining the program process and the options available for our house. The project was completed on time, as scheduled and to our satisfaction. RSL Structural Inc. was very prompt with all communications. They also dealt with the city for the permit and final inspection. I would highly recommend their services.
Derald and his team are great. Our house is a Queen Anne Victorian in San Francisco and we worked with BMF to remodel our kitchen, install new flooring, remove walls and put in large glass doors to show off the great view. Derald blended the new work with existing victorian details, such as picture-frame wainscoting and ceiling medallions. The workmanship and attention to detail was first rate.
Excellent response. Very honest. A very fair quote. They were very prompt and on time. They did an excellent job on my roof. Highly recommend.
Dr. Wong is great. My teeth feel clean after every visit. My family and I have been his patients for years. I recommend him as a dentist.
The office manager Ms. Nancy does a wonderful job at communication and is efficient and prompt with records requests. :)
NEW PATIENT. Excellent customer service Care quality was excellent. Dr. Toni Ambus Was professional, friendly, very knowledgeable. I have a new dentist close to home very happy. Thank you Dr. Toni
Thank you for the exceptional care and expertise. Your skillful adjustments bring not just physical relief but also a sense of overall well-being. Your dedication truly makes a difference in our lives. Grateful for your commitment to wellness in our community!
Dr. Bautista has helped me tremendously with my migraines and other musculoskeletal issues. My daughter was in a recent car accident and I brought her to him immediately. I trust him with my care and to care for my family members. He is the best!
Review is long over due!I have been a patient of Intergrative Heath on and off for a few years. I have always received genuine advice, care and feedback from Dr. Simon and the staff. They are always professional, caring and authentic. I highly recommend this health clinic.
I purchased a Groupon and I’m very happy to of found this place because they offer so many wellness services that I do already and some I can’t wait to try. Sally is fantastic and really really cares about helping you and is a wealth of knowledge. One of the owners or managers I believe that I can’t remember her name but met with her the first time I went was also a wealth of knowledge. Looking forward to being a regular client here
It was hard finding a new Veterinarian after our previous vet clinic closed. We tried a few, but none really stuck until we met Dr. Tais at Masson. She was personable and took her time getting to know each of my pups. The office staff, Sarah, Jennifer and Jasmine are also a very big reason we chose to stay at Masson, they're all super detailed and knowledgeable. It is so hard to find a Veterinarian that you and your pups like and it's even harder finding a great office team, but at Masson you get both! I am so so happy I found them.
By far, best vet I have ever gone to. Everyone there is so pleasant. They welcome you with warm smiles and greetings. The vets are amazing and genuinely care about your pet. I see Dr Chiu and she is not only an amazing vet but just a great human! She meets you where you are, in terms of your pets care and is so gentle and caring with your pet. I have also seen Dr Hauge (sp?) and she is also wonderful! I have yet to meet anyone there who isn’t warm and welcoming. I def recommend San Bruno Pet Hospital.
We had a wonderful experience today and will definitely work with shine mobile grooming again! We have a goldendoodle but like him cut short. Most groomers never listen to what we ask and give a typical teddy bear cut. This was a much better experience and we got exactly what we asked for.
Tried this place for the first time. I have to say, I was impressed. My dog is a husky and blue heeler mix. She has been groomed before and very well mannered. However, she sheds like crazy. There were lots of positives for this visit, which I am listing below.
1. They come to you. This is so incredible with the growing gas prices! That and if your dog is anything like mine, it helps lessen the anxieties when they know they are close to home.
2. De-shedding is part of the package for her breed. For fur parents with shepherd or husky mix... this is a huge treat! Usually, we have to pay more for this service.
3. Leonardo was very courteous, respectful, and good at listening. This is so important when we are trying to get the best care for our pups.
4. Prices are SUPER! Their prices are very competitive. My dog is about 55 lbs and about 24" for reference. We paid $175 (without tip) for her, AND we got the VIP treatment. This included her bath, de-shedding, facial, teeth, ears, gland expression (I requested this), and a bandana. I always wanted a bandana for my dog.
There was only one downside, and even then, it was my error more than theirs.
The website was fairly easy to use. It's not all intuitive because I am new and wasn't sure of the difference of East Bay and whatnot. Regardless, the appointment was easily booked, and the person arrived on time.
I hope this helps other people make a decision for this business. It is really good and can definitely be beneficial for home bodies or people with disabilities, like me.
I was gifted a postnatal massage at Mayahuel from my lovely colleagues and put the certificate to use about 3 weeks after giving birth. I have basically minimal experience with getting massages - the last massage I did was a Thai massage almost a decade ago probably - but I felt that Teresa's postnatal massage was fantastic! She spent about 10 minutes talking to me at first about postnatal self-care and what her postnatal massage is like to make sure I was okay with it. I like her number system of 1 to 10 for how light or deep you prefer your massage. 4 is average and what she recommends. Throughout the massage, Teresa was very professional. She covered the body areas that she was not actively working on and only exposed the areas that she needed. She told me what she was doing step by step. The pressure that she used was right at a level 4 so I did not need her to adjust at all. Her massage table was heated nicely though a little too hot for me but not to the point of uncomfortable. I'm sure I could've told her to adjust the temp but I honestly prefer running hot so it was okay. She spent a lot of time on my upper body which I loved since my neck and back were so tight. It really did wonders for me and I nearly fell asleep while on my stomach! All in all, this was really a great postnatal massage and I would not hesitate to return for another massage in the future! To all those saying it's hard to book an appointment, I recommend to basically check her website every day as there are spots that will randomly show up when people cancel (I assume). Initially I managed to snag a spot all the way in September (I was checking around mid-June) but then was able to reschedule to early July when a spot suddenly popped up.
I highly recommend Eileen and Truly Bodywork. I have been seeing her regularly for a few months now, and she does a great job every time. She makes my aches and pains go away. If you are looking for an awesome massage therapist, look no further. Eileen is the best!
Nice place! Amy is awesome. Great service and good massage. She relieved all my body aches.
He's not like any doctor, spine specialist, acupuncturist, masseuse, etc. He is like a mechanic for your body. He looks at you, then right away goes to all the painful trigger points with surgical precision, uncovers the ones you didn't know about, releases them all, massages all the deep muscles that are INSIDE your spine with ease, releases all the spasms or tightness that were hidden for decades, leaving you in shock and wondering why no one ever pointed them out. In only two sessions he already did more for my spine than all the doctors, spine specialists, acupuncturists, masseuses I have seen for decades, combined. He looks at your whole body instead of treating every symptom separately, which should be an obvious approach but apparently so rare. If you're looking for a relaxing massage, look somewhere else. If you want to fix your pain, no matter how old it is, he is your guy.
I had been meaning to try acupuncture for years and was always afraid of it. Now, I can't imagine not getting a treatment! My monthly sessions with Francine have become sacred to me. Her entire approach is so loving and with your highest good in mind the whole time. I also appreciate her support for small and local businesses; she always recommends shops and artists. She is amazing!!
