The waxing here is awesome but I decided to give their facials a try as well since the price was right and the place is great. I've had a lot of facials and have to say that Sharon gave the hands down best facial I've ever had! She's fantastic, really listens to your skin concerns and uses great, gentle products (and never tries to sell you products either). It's an amazing experience and prices are super reasonable as well. Of course, the waxing is the best in town as well, I won't go anywhere else!
Pros: Location, atmosphere, prices
Cons: none!

There's not much to say about Tito's Tacos. It is what it is. Its fried tacos, enchillads, and burritos.
I usually get one of each. It hits the spot during those late night snack attacks.
Its not fancy, its not meant to be gourmet. Its a local standby thats been around forever. Its legendary. You go to get your titos fix (i know a guy who comes into town every couple of months from new york and titos is the first place he stops).
Its just plain good. So simple, so good.
Pros: Hits the spot everytime.
Cons: parking situation, long lines

Being a chef, very cool sighting at my favorite neighborhood spot..... Alice Waters!!! It looked like she asked for a table for 4 even though she had 6 people. The Chef was bringing food to the table and enjoying a glass of wine with her in between courses. One of my friends had no idea who she was and the two were in awe of the relevant chef in the US if not the world.
Pros: cool sightings
Cons: none here

The Backstage is, hands down, my favorite bar in LA. Don't be fooled by the exterior. It looks a little forbidding at first. But when you walk in, its like entering an alternative world where everything is right. The place is very dimly lit, but very warm feeling. Everyone that works there is unbelievably friendly. You feel at home right away. Drinks are cheap and the food is sensational. I dont really live that close by, but when my friends and I start trying to figure out where to go, we can never come up with an idea that we like better, so off we go to the Backstage. I highly recommend a drink they make called the Culver City Slut. Its goooood. Thanks Backstage, dont ever change!
Pros: Unpretentious, great staff, shockingly good food, fun!
Cons: Can get crowded on weekends. Wish I lived a little closer.

I have never met a hairdresser who knows about color as much as Keenen King and his cuts are so sylish too. I work in entertainment and am quite picky as to who does my hair and the outcome, as it needs to look fastastic, as in camera ready, every time.
I have long, fine hair and he gives it volume and advised me how to thicken it too. I get compliments every time. I refer family and friends and he made my sisters hair, which is long and very curly, the best I have ever seen it in her life. Again, his expertise with color is "spot on" and I've had my color and cuts done in London, Boston and Los Angeles and he IS my favorite.
He took my hair from unhealthy and damaged, due to another hairdresser's mistake, to literally perfect. It takes time for hair to grow and damage to disappear so don't be discouraged. If your hair is damaged, he WILL make it look amazing while your hair recovers.
I really can't speak highly enough of his work and can recommend him with no hesitation. He is very experienced in hair, modeling and fashion so he knows how to make you look good. On a personal level, he is VERY professional and also laid back & friendly, so he instantly makes you feel comfortable. I enjoy going to do my hair with him!
I am certainly an impressed and faithful client of his and would follow him where ever he goes!
Pros: His color technique is exceptional
Cons: None!!

This place has a lot of good attributes and, overall, an awesome staff (there are some exceptions, of course, but that's par for the course). I am a regular, and will continue to go back.
Bottlerock is good for small and large parties a like, and the staff is more knowledgeable about wines than any other place in downtown Culver City (there is still room for improvement on the wine knowledge/sophistication side, which almost earned them 4 stars instead of 5, but they are working on it, so I expect improvement). The manager is friendly (which is refreshing), she often circles the place to greet patrons, and the entire staff aims to please. The service can sometimes be a bit slow when they are busy -- but hey, it's a wine bar (so chill out and enjoy!). I recommend Bottlerock 10 times over Rush (a bar/restaurant in the same vicinity, which had an inexcusably uneducated staff, very disorganized service and clueless management).

Natalee Thai offers excellent food, nice atmosphere, good service. Tends to be crowded and loud, especially on the weekends. Be prepared to wait for take-out.

In the short time I've been working with Virginia via phone, I have already started seeing some dramatic shifts in my life. In our sessions, I always feel heard by her and she keeps me accountable for my own growth by assigning me "homework." I would recommend Virginia's services, either in person or over the phone, to anyone looking for someone to help them make positive changes in his or her life.
