I went to Alexandra regularly about 15 years ago (and would still be going if I still lived in LA). She helped me finally get off of Accutane and really clear up my skin naturally. She is amazing!
Vintage Cellars built my Cellar over 20 years ago. I contacted them when my cooling unit failed. I worked with Sam Kim and he was very professional and service oriented. He ordered me a new unit with an ETA of 1-2 weeks, it was in my hands in four days. He set me up with one of his installers who came on the weekend and removed the old unit, and masterfully installed the new one. Ty prettied everything up and the whole install looked like new when he left. He cleaned everything up beautifully and made certain the new unit was operating correctly before leaving. Buy with confidence from Sam and Vintage Cellars!
Today I visited cleopatra ink in Marina del Rey. I intended to get my jewelry repaired, however that wasn't possible. So I purchased a new nose ring and had another piercing done in my ear helix. But since there was also a tattoo area, I made the decision to get my very first tattoo! A tiny abstract elephant on my ankle. I'm already thinking of my next one. Very impressed with the quality of the workmanship, the cleanliness of the store, but most of the people.
Our backyard received an extensive makeover at the hands of Double Green Landscape. Their work with concrete is of the highest quality, and they even gave it the gloss I requested. In a similar vein, the custom wood-and-steel pergola that his crew built for us looks just stunning. We are thrilled with the results!Services: Landscape installations
David and Joe are the best in the business. I decided to go with SSD since Joe told me his story and loved the father / son duo. The doors were installed way in advance of schedule and they look amazing. I can now feel safe at home where there is higher crime in LA.
Professional, prompt, skilled and a good value. Everything you could ask for from any business and service. Michael was the technician who came out this Sunday morning to look at my freezer which stopped working. He arrived promptly on time and within 30-40 minutes was able to diagnose and fix the issue. Price was very reasonable and I will not hesitate to call or recommend PowerOn for any future appliance repair needs. All the 5 star reviews are correct. PowerOn is excellent.

We are so happy we worked with Lisa for our first dance!! At first my husband was not willing to do a first dance at our wedding in front of everyone since dancing is not his strong suit! He did however, decided to take some dance lessons so he could be better at dancing and feel more comfortable for when the party starts. Lisa was able to not only get him to learn a little bit of rhythm on his own, she was also able to get him comfortable enough to convince him to do a first dance with me for our wedding after all! (Thank you Lisa!!) Learning our first dance was a great experience. She worked with our level of experience, and broke down the steps so we could learn easily, and worked with us until we got it down! Everything at the wedding went great. People loved our dance, and were so surprised to see my husband nail it!!
Due to a last minute logistical error, we took our furry babies to Venice Dog Boarding. It was our first time leaving our babies here so we were very apprehensive, but from the moment we met Jan, my wife felt so much better and our dogs were very relaxed. Our babies were well taken care of, Jan was very nice and took very good care of them. You can tell she loves dogs. We will definitely be leaving our furry babies in her care from now on.
Insanely grateful to Michelle. I feel dramatically stronger and much more connected to my body. I look forward to our sessions together. Highly, highly recommend.
Historically I’ve had a really hard time finding someone who can cut my hair properly. It’s really thin and tends to look flat and frizzy. For years I’ve been growing it as I always dreamed of a big mane of hair. Sitting in slims chair I told her all of my fears and anxiety and she was kind and listened. I just had my second strict and allowed her to do some long layers (which scared me to death) let me say wow! Slim gave me the best haircut of my life. So easy to style and or not style and looks fresh, sexy and awesome.
Requested style: Wanted something fresh and full of life
I’ve gotten 2 tattoos here and each time was easy and comfortable. The artist worked with me closely to get the designs down. I’ve also never seen a tattoo studio so beautiful and clean!
Christina is AMAZING! She’s incredibly talented and makes every visit feel so special. I’m not sure how she does it, but her lash work is pure magic—mine have lasted for three weeks, not a typo, THREE WEEKS!
Her studio is a peaceful, healing sanctuary. It feels like you’ve stepped away from the city’s hustle and into a serene space where you can relax, be pampered, and leave feeling refreshed—and, of course, looking fantastic! I love that she incorporates vintage clothing and jewelry into her studio. Her curated finds perfectly complement the beauty experience.
Jesse's got skills! His haircut is, by far, the best ever. I wish that there were more than 5 stars, because Jesse deserves them! I never knew that my hair could look this great, and I've had many haircuts. Jesse went with my hair's natural waves, he gave me a cut that is stylish and youthful. He truly has a master talent! Thanks so much

Liz is an incredible hairdresser who truly listens to my concerns. With my thin, fine hair, she carefully discussed various options to help me achieve the look I've always wanted. Every time I leave the salon, I'm thrilled with the results. Liz truly is the best!
I almost never get my haircuts by a barber, but I was looking for something different than just an at-home buzz cut. Can't say enough great things about the owner of this business. He's super friendly, patient, and careful. At multiple points, he paused to ask what I wanted before proceeding. He is the only barber present, so I would expect a wait and bring something to keep you busy if you're going in the middle of the day. I came immediately at 11:00 AM, and there were two people already lined up by the time I finished at 11:30 AM. Note that this business is walk-in only and does not take appointments. I also appreciated that my barber knew exactly what to do with Asian male hair, which cannot be said about most barbershops. At the time of this writing, my haircut was $28, and I provided a 25% tip ($7). Parking just to the left of the business or on the street is free and not too difficult to find. Would definitely give this place a try if you are in West LA. It's also next to Costco which is a big win too lol
We just had the best experience with the guys at Xquisit Barbers, they fitted us in, they were so friendly, helpful and they did an awesome job of the haircuts! Thank you! ??
Sam is an absolute legend. Been in LA for 2 years and had been having trouble finding a hair stylist until I found Sam. Incredible quality of work. Great service. Highly recommend.
Got a great haircut from Bree today. She's excellent, no nonsense, little bit of chitchat and boom you're done. I will definitely go back and ask for her.
My son has been with Omar's since age 3. My son is now 6 years old and remains a loyal customer of Omar's Barber Company. My son was always very afraid of the barbershop despite his experiences all being pleasant and trauma free. He would cry, scream, tantrum, and get out of the chair; leaving little to no hope for me and a very hard task for his barber. We started with Tony 3 years ago. Despite Tony's amazing work and dedication; my son didn't adjust and we changed to another barber. Barber two, a very nice female (forgot her name), did an amazing job and his first haircut with her was a breeze; leaving me and Tony shocked . On haircuts number two and three, he lost his cool and made it very hard for her. Omar noticed the hardship I was experiencing every trip to the shop and suggested we try with barber James. James worked on his 5th haircut I believe and like everyone else was in for a ride. Due of my son's outbursts, 30 minute haircuts were taking 1+ hours to complete. Despite all the tantrums, outbursts, and creative ways to cut; James remained empathetic of our plight and focused on our goal. James and I worked diligently for about a year and a half before we finally saw a breakthrough (thanks Omar! ). Despite all the chaos and lack of cooperation, James has never cut or made mistakes on his haircut and ALWAYS delivers a fresh, crisp and beautiful cut. James is a very patient, understanding, and professional barber. His expertise shows with how he deals with and treats his clientele; especially my son. He's accommodating to us (changed his kid slot appointment to an hour instead of 30 minutes). Despite the time and dedication its taken James and Omar to achieve this success; they've never charged me an extra fee; never turned us away or denied service; and always accommodated us to ensure the shop was comfortable while he was in the chair. From music, to shows, to Cali girl; they tried it all to ensure my son feels comfortable and welcomed. He's completed three very successful haircuts this year with NO tantrums, tears or outbursts. As always, he's excited to be compensated with his hot wheels car at the end of every cut. Today we walked out with a beautiful NYC inspired fade and my son LOVES his haircut! Thanks so much for helping us achieve this milestone
I the first time I went, I got a pedicure in the nail salon, which I was very pleased with. The service was great from the moment you walked in and they also did a really nice job on the actual pedicure. I went a second time to the spa upstairs for a facial and massage, which were also both really great. They have a really nice waiting area, spa rooms, and overall great service. I had Mai for my massage, I highly recommend. And I had Mia for my facial who I also highly recommend. Both the salon and spa offer complimentary beverages. All their services are a bit more pricey than other places but for the quality you receive, it definitely feels worth the money spent.

I travel a lot.. and finding a good salon to do dip powder has been an awful experience. Either the cost is ridiculous or the job is poorly executed.. or worse, BOTH.. but this salon was perfect. Easy to work with as I texted them what I needed and gave my availability. They texted back that my appt was booked for a specific time. Easy! I arrive and they get to work on my manicure, I pick a color, and I’m done within an hour and I’m a happy camper. It’s been about two weeks and nails still look great. Shape is awesome & color is perfect. My nail expert was kind and patient as she worked her magic. Cost was right on point as you’d expect. Highly recommend.
Looooooove this shop for my gel nails! My go to person is Pei, who is the sweetest and most detailed oriented! I was excited for the upcoming wicked movie and she helped me choose the perfect baby pink sparkly Galinda nails! I had such an awesome experience both times she has done my nails. (Last color was ironically, green ;P) Being a local, this place is such a great go to place for lash removal because they are so gentle with your lashes and make sure to clean it after removal (so important cos some other places just leave the residue after!) Thank you Ellie & sass and consider me a regular customer! :)
They do a great job for the price point. They also have hundreds of gel and regular polish shades — they’ve really stepped up their color game in the last year or so. Call ahead and make an appointment so you don’t end up waiting. I’ve never had to wait for more than a couple of minutes when I’ve booked my appointment in advance! Thank you Holly and Vivienne!
The best of the best. Period. The atmosphere is beautiful. I love the cute pink chairs and it's extremely clean. They use a new set of tools out of the package every time. I've been coming here for years. Everytime I've gotten my nails done by Hannah or Erica, it's been AMAZING. I get a gel manicure and pedicure, almond shape, and hard gel on the hands-- my nails last me four weeks. And they look amazing even grown out. Yes, granted; it's a bit more expensive than some of the other salons in the area but you get what you pay for. I'm always so happy with the results. Any one of the ladies that work there are incredible and will do a fantastic job. Great attention to detail and consistently beautiful work. 10/10
Wonderful friendly clean happy nail salon. Everybody who works there is so friendly and happy to help with anything you may need. Pricing is great! Nhi is my absolute favorite. Professional business I highly recommend.

Great cut and learning lesson from Sheree! She was able to accentuate my natural curls all the while teaching me how to style and take care of my hair. Definitely will return!
Tracy is the best! I’ve done two keratin treatments through her and she has helped me grow my hair so much it was all fried off and short and she completely rejuvenated it… she also has great, affordable pricing, I highly suggest this salon.
I booked a signature hard gel mani with Serge, and it was just amazing! Look at my perfect square-shaped nails and how he did french tips on top. I'm surprised I didn't discover this place earlier, considering I live in Marina Del Rey! You should try it to understand what a high-quality manicure is. Thank you!
I absolutely adore this salon! I was craving a bit of a color refresh for my brown hair, and boy, did they deliver! Not only did they give my hair the lift it needed, but they also lifted my spirits in a way I never imagined possible. Here are the things that make this salon so special to me: 1. Convenient Booking: Booking online is a breeze, and you can actually get an appointment without waiting for months. 2. Believe it or not, they have parking! In LA! They have their own dedicated parking lot which was a treat I did not expect, but I was so happy to have the convenience! 3. Ashley, the Owner: Ashley was my first point of contact, and she's an absolute gem. Super responsive and helpful in finding the perfect stylist. A true sweetheart! 4. Harrel, the Artist: Where do I even begin? Harrel is a master of his craft, with an impressive background and talent that shines through in his work. Spending time in his chair was a true joy--my whole appointment took quite a few hours because we did a full color and cut, and I enjoyed every minute of it - talking, laughing, and even singing with him. Time went by so fast! It was truly a spirit-lifting connection, and I think he's not only incredibly skilled but also one of the sweetest souls I've ever met. From color to cut, he exceeded all expectations. My hair has never looked better, and I can't thank him enough! Atmosphere: The salon's ambiance is a perfect blend of glamour and coziness. Bright, airy, and filled with lush house plants--it's like stepping into a little oasis. And the music was off the charts! It's been three weeks, and I'm still beaming with happiness over my hair. If you're even remotely considering booking an appointment, don't hesitate--just do it! Trust me, you'll thank yourself later.
I stumbled upon this place because I was looking for a calm environment to get a facial. Little did I know that I would find a sanctuary. I have been going here every Friday for a month because of Becca. She is knowledgeable, kind, and a gentle soul. If you are thinking about getting a microcurrent facial please see Becca. I had my doubts at first but holy sh** the glow up is real. Shes the reason why I keep coming back. Its not cheap but it is 100% worth it and you will save money by no longer needing botox. Trust me! I am a huge sceptic of all things but this place and Becca will take care of you. The only question you should have is why the hell didn't you go to her sooner! Btw no one has asked me to leave a review; this is genuine and completely authentic. Feel free to message me if you have questions. Do yourself a favor and book an appt with Becca.
I went to Alexandra regularly about 15 years ago (and would still be going if I still lived in LA). She helped me finally get off of Accutane and really clear up my skin naturally. She is amazing!
I cant recommend Five Ball Studios enough. The shop is clean and the atmosphere is super sick.
Jesse has been and will be tattooing me for years. He’s amazing at bringing my very specific visions to life and creating pieces that are beautiful and a unique mix of my girly style and his. You can find him on IG @Jesseshowaltertattoo
It’s such a special thing to have an artist who is not only wildly talented but brings great energy and makes every tattoo appointment an experience and a memory. I’d highly recommend both Five Ball Studios and Jesse if you’re looking to get tattooed!

Just got my fourth piece from @chon_tat2 and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He’s very talented and his speed is ahead of the pack for sure. Looking forward to getting more from him and checking out the other great artists.
Really solid shop, very clean and professional. Very talented group of artists, you really can’t go wrong with any of them. Shout out to Scoob who tattooed me on this visit. I had a really good experience. Everything went really smooth and it was a quick turnaround from initial consultation to tattoo session. I felt like it was fairly priced and the entire staff is incredibly knowledgeable as well with tattoos and piercings. Will definitely be back in the future. l will definitely be recommending this place to my friends for any tattoo or piercing needs.
Masters of their art, kind, thorough, and meticulously gifted with any style, piece, or direction, Ink Ink Tattoo is now my go-to! Gal brought a piece to life in a way I did't think was possible. The atmosphere was phenomenal - whether a customer or artist, Ink Ink emanates the perfect tattoo establishment!Thank you!Services: Fine line tattoos
Pin always hooking it up!! I already had a ghostie and gave him my concept of another ghost and VanGogh. Needless to say he killed it. Absolutely in love with my new tattoo. He takes his time, evaluates the tattoo and shares his opinion. He's a total team player when it comes to bringing your concept to life! Can't wait till the next one!!

Got my first tattoo here and the experience couldn't have been more perfect. Rene was awesome and he did such an amazing job the tattoo came out exactly how I was hoping it would. Everyone there was very friendly and I'm definitely getting another tattoo next time I'm in LA.
I’ve gotten 2 tattoos here and each time was easy and comfortable. The artist worked with me closely to get the designs down. I’ve also never seen a tattoo studio so beautiful and clean!
Update! Have gotten 2 additional tattoos at Black Diamond since the the poppies last year - a wave form tree from Ken and a recent walk-in rainbow with Salvator - and could not be happier with both!
Ken is amazing!! Super detailed work and a clean, chill and friendly atmosphere.
I come here to do all my piercings I have 5 I did there. I also brought both my kids for their piercings. They are clean and give you a ring to see what it would look like. Place a dot and ask you what you think before they do anything. They are getting kinda pricey but better than other places for sure and they can be accommodating.
This locksmith at La Cabana Restaurant came out to help me right away when my car's keyless entry system broke. They quickly found a solution to the problem, and best of all, the task was completed right away.
We've worked with contractors on a few larger home projects, and our experiences have generally been uneven at best -- decent results, but a lot of frustration and back-and-forth along the way. So, when we decided it was time to rebuild our guestroom, we wanted a company that could truly own the project from start to finish. Bela Development delivered exactly that. Our project manager, Kobi, was fantastic, acting as our main point of contact while managing every detail, schedule, and question that came up. Marvin, our project foreman, was equally impressive, keeping the daily progress on track and constantly finding small ways to go above and beyond. Overall, we're thrilled with our experience and even more thrilled with the final result. Kobi was consistently attentive, flexible, and available, so we always felt our project was in the best hands. We look forward to working with him again on future projects!
I was very impressed with both Sean's design suggestions and follow-thru in getting it done. My guest bathroom needed to be revamped, including a new vanity with with a Quartz stone top, painting the walls, and putting in two new toilets, one for my master bathroom. Throughout his work for me, he consistently communicated with me to ensure the work was completed in a timely manner. I would recommend Sean and Onyx Development to anyone who wants an excellent experience in renovating their home or office.Service: Home renovations

These guys really saved my life. I own a property in California and I live in Miami and I thought I’m not gonna make the deadlines since I was away but Gome And his team really came through and the job and the finishes were fantastic. If you’re looking for a contractor that is a human being and also a professional that’s the place.
I hired Vulin construction to replace my roof. They did an excellent job! My roof was in really bad shape and they pushed to get my permit quickly to avoid an upcoming storm. They also repaired the damage to the ceiling in my master bedroom. Elder and his team who did the work, were top notch, worked quickly and efficiently and were a pleasure to deal with. Michael Miller who oversaw the project went above and beyond to get this job done before more damage occurred.I highly recommend and will call them for all home repairs and an upcoming remodel.
Rudy is not just a chiropractor. He's a healer who goes above and beyond for his patients. I've been to lots of chiropractors over the years and no one holds a candle to Rudy!
Patrick is hands down the best chiropractor I've ever had. His expertise is evident in every session, and his passion for his work really shines through. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and tailors the treatment specifically to my needs. The difference I feel after seeing Patrick is remarkable. Literally, I will go in not being able to walk, and come out fixed! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional chiropractic care. -BSJ

Within the first 10 minutes of my session Dr. Jacob was able to fully analyze my bodies alignment issues and clearly explain them to me with the help of a 3d model of the skeletal/muscular structure of the spine. He then explained his plan to adjust my body, and then (as far as I can tell) he expertly realigned my body by completely relieving my muscle tension and then precisely adjusting my joints/bones. I felt indescribable relief both during and after the session; I feel emotionally and physically reinvigorated. Moreover, Dr. Jacob is an incredible listener. He has a calm, patient, lighthearted, non-judgmental way of being that is perfect for any patient. Please, if you have issues finding balance in your body. Go see Dr. Jacob! I cannot recommend him enough!

I found this studio on ClassPass while traveling and have loved every teacher I’ve experienced. Classes are challenging and well paced to get a great workout — my body is so happy. The studio is conveniently located on Washington and the design is on-point. Wish this studio was in San Francisco so I could go every day.
Me and my friend just finish an hour massage, and this place is amazing! The people are nice and the girls are absolutely amazing!! Elle and Eiran were doing our massage and they both were wonderful! At the end we got the fresh coconut and snack this place is a dream. I highly recommend.
I took my three kids 13, 16 and 18 and myself to get massages. They all thoroughly enjoyed it and even took a nap during the massage. Highly recommended and an amazing deal. Make sure to tip the therapists generously as they work very hard.

I unfortunately slept in a really bad position and woke up with a lot of neck pain and stiffness. They were very accommodating, and were able to fit me in for a last minute appointment. The massage was exactly what I needed it relieved alot of the tension and stiffness. I immediately felt so much better! I would definitely recommend this business.

I started seeing Angela because my migraines were getting worse and more frequent, and she has helped so much. She prescribed me some supplements and suggested acupuncture. I was reticent to try it because I hate needles, but I now go see Angela weekly! She has drastically reduced the number of headaches I get, and has also helped with my sleep and overall stress levels.
I have a herniated disc and they helped me tremendously. They are very knowledgeable and caring which I really appreciate. Thank you for all you've done for me!!
