First thing is the great scalp massage they give to EVERYONE who has a shampoo -- fabulous! Overall, they have great service, are customer-focused; and have skilled technicians. Barb, especially, has been my colorist for several years now, and I wouldn't go to anyone else (unless I absolutely have to!). Her sense of what hair color looks good with my skin tone and eye color has been incredibly valuable.
Pros: Really comfortable salon; friendly people
Cons: none

I worked with Stanley on designing a one-of-a-kind engagement ring. The design was completed within a few days, I was shown 4 gorgeous stones from which to choose, and the finished product was perfect, completed within a couple of weeks, and for less money than we originally thought it would cost. WE LOVE THE RING!!!!!
Pros: The designer new exactly what I wanted
Cons: None

My in-laws live just around the corner so we visit Blind Faith whenever we are in town. I look forward to it so much! Everything I have every tried there has been absolutely delicious and I've gotten some really good ideas for things to cook at home as well. My brother-in-law's girlfriend worked there for a short time and she said the the kitchen is spotless and the cooks take great care in preparing and cooking the food, which comes as no surprise. The baked goods are awesome too. They do a great job of serving vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. It is always busy when I've been there but I take that as a sign of what a great restaurant it is. They are polite and efficient about trying to get people seated in a timely manner.

Lulu's is a one of a kind! Every time I go to Lulu's I try something new and I have never been disappointed. The food screams freshness. I never leave feeling like I ate an unhealthy meal. I travel an hour to reach Lulu's great food. I wish they had more locations, because I would most definitely be a regular if they did. Always great!

Art and Science, though expensive, has intelligent hair stylists that actually listen to how you want your hair to look. The people are all extremely friendly, and the place itself has a classy appearance. My entire family gets their hair cut here and it looks ten times better than the cheaper places in the area, so if you can afford it, it's a great place to get your hair cut.

I wasn't sure if I should try this place because I didn't want to end up with a metrosexual haircut, but I wanted something other than one provided by a fat, bald man with tattoos. I gave it a chance, and it was well worth the money. I was showered with compliments. Yippee.
Pros: You get what you ask for
Cons: Closed Sunday and Monday

This gym is great for those who like an independent workout (lots of weight and cardio equipment), and those who like classes (almost all of which are included in dues, the exceptions include tennis lessons and rock climbing courses). The only downside? The steakhouse next door! When you get out of a cardio class in the evening, all you smell is roasting meat.
