I love, love, love my membership. Even though the monthly fees gives me a one-hour massage, I always, always, always upgrade to the hour-and-a-half massage. My old spa charged me $160 for that hour-and-a-half PLUS a tip! So I could only go about twice a year. Now I go almost every week. I could never do that otherwise! I used to sell timeshare, and what people love about that concept is that they're SURE they'll go on vacation every year. So Massage Envy is like timeshare for massage ... I'm sure I'll go often! It's the best money I could ever spend on ME.
Pros: Makes massage affordable
Cons: Not a full-out luxury environment like a 5-star hotel

I came to Skin Technology as a last resort for my acne. I had tried several methods to rid of it,, including what felt like every over the counter product. When I visited a laser institution, I felt that prodcedure would be too extreme, plus incredibly pricey. I went to Skin Technology, and met Melody. After a handful of visits,,,my skin was drastically better. As in, I wasnt breaking out anymore!!From there, Melody worked on scarring, and the overall health of my skin with the facials she was giving me. I was so happy that there really was a solution, and I could finally walk around without people staring at my face!!! Melody is absolutly fantastic. Unlike everyone else I visited, she truly wants to help you. She is kind, understanding, and very professional about her work. If there`s anything I regret, its not having come here the first time I heard about it. Her prices are very reasonable, and the products are just great, and of great quality!! I highly reccommend Skin Technology to anyone. Melody`s expertise wont dissapoint you!!
Pros: great staff, great prices, great products,
Cons: none

Pros: Feeling so peaceful
Cons: none that I know of

This place is awesome!! I took my mom here because she was having alot of arm, leg and back pain and the massage helped alot. The lady who did her massage, Sun, was very supportive, helpful and answered all our questions patiently. She was very profesional. She catered the massage to what my mom needed and focused on the areas that needed extra help. The atmosphere is very nice as well. My mom got the combination massage (thai + swedish) Overall, I really liked this place. My only problem was it was a little more expensive then I would like but worth it!

I had my wedding 06-04-2006.
Alexis was a NO SHOW on my very special day that would only happen once in a lifetime!
She had no reason not to show and had confirmed (with a signed contract) that she would be there. Nobody had flowers - grandparents, parents, groomsmen, bridesmaids, flowergirl, the bride!!! She too would not return calls and would screen all the calls when I called to ask her where she was. To prove the validity of this - just watch the WE chanel and you can see this all unfold on Bridezilla a reality show. This is the WORST thing someone could do!!! And unfortunetly it happened to me. DO NOT USE THIS UNRELIABLE FLORIST !!!!! PS Alexsis begged for me to refer people to her after my wedding - when we were approached to do the show I called her and told her that it would be great publicity for her to be on this show as she could have used it as a platform to promote her (obviously) hurting flower business. SHe was thrilled and then decided to not show because the producers paid her off to create drama. The producers kept telling me that I was not "drama" enough- so they went ahead and created the drama! who would not have been upset if their flowers did not show up???? Alexsis "shawn" is a horrible horrible person
Pros: was close to my house
Cons: horrible customer service - no show and no call after

When I went to school in Riverside, I would go to Costa Mesa to visit just cut some hair for a cheap $10. I would always be happy with the results even though it took longer than necessary since the student would have to talk to her professor and plan out her strategy for my head. Sure I didn't feel like I was human at the time except for a plastic head with hair, but it's okay. For $10, I really don't care because in the end, my haircut was fabulous.. layered and all. Also, coloring is quite cheap too using the best hair products.

I have been going to this nail salon for about 9 years now, ever since I moved back to Southern California from San Francisco, in 1996. I have had very few bad experiences, but on occasion, a new girl will do a rush job on me, and I have walked away a little miffed but, for the most part they do a great job! Tom is the man of the house, and don't let his frown scare you away, because once you get past him, it is all love! Carol and Candi will give you a great manicure/pedicure, and Vanna gives the best neck rubs! If you need waxing, Lili is your girl.
PROS: Very nice, friendly ladies, and sometimes they have a good movie on, too!
CONS:

I've bought Aveda products at Richard Michael salon, but I just had my first pedicure there. It was awesome! So relaxing - with a back massager, a warm wrap around my neck, and the choice (or not) of music on an Ipod - I'll definitely go back and even bought a friend a gift certificate for her birthday.
