Loretta DeBrule is my woman in shining armor! I like to change my style more frequently than most and she never hesitates partner with me in creating a dynamic style. I get tons of compliments on my hair and most importantly, I TRUST HER! She has an awesome sense of humor too which makes me so excited for my next hair appointment. She simply does great work! Her new location is perfect too as there is easy street parking and great bars and restaurants nearby too when you want to show off your new hair to the world. I found Loretta on Yelp! and I will happily promote her skills here too!
Pros: Great Cuts and Amazing Color
Cons: I can't have her do my hair everyday!

I love Fentons! The Swiss milk chocolate and coffee crunch are the best flavors, though almost everything they serve is delicious. You can ask for samples at the front. Also be sure to complement your ice cream with a basket of piping hot fries. If you want to do the Fenton’s challenge, be sure to bring a coupon with you so you can get the free T-shirt, but really, is it worth it to force down pure fat and feel awful for the next 12 hours for a hideous T-shirt?

Excellent Mexican food -- haute cuisine of Mexico -- wonderful assortment of flavors with a focus on seasonal foods. Also: try the new Dona Tomas cafe (order-at-the-counter style) in the 4th Street shopping area in Berkeley.

Yes, the place can get crowded and yes it can be noisy by the bar, but the food is great and the staff is friendly and helpful. Prices seem very reasonable. For all of those complaining about the prices--this is not a taqueria, so why would you expect taqueria prices? Also, I have never left the place without either being completely stuffed or taking leftovers home. How much food does one need? Anyway, back to the point. This place serves up some great food. And the menu is always changing to take advantage of what?s fresh and in-season. I've had great seafood dishes here and the margaritas are excellent. The complimentary house-made chips with ancho-chili salsa are awesome and another reason why I don?t understand how you could leave this place hungry. You can't go wrong here.
Pros: great food and drinks

Fenton's--ahhh an Okaland classic. Bring the kids, all of them and their friends and prepare to pig out. Food is good, ice cream and Sundaes are even better.

I have always loved going to the Okland zoo even as a kid. My family would have a picnic on the picnic grounds right next to the zoo where they have barbeque grills available and picnic tables with benches. They have huge grassy areas for baseball games or just running around. After we eat we would walk over to the zoo and look at all the animals. It's just a great place to spend the day in.

I am in Oakland for a job detail and I was looking for a place to have a massage. My friend told me about spaweekand that is were I found Body by Melisa. From the first contact with her - Melisa is the one who returned my call for an appointment - to the end of each treatment, I received nothing but wonderful and considerate care and professionalism. The location of the facility is in an older part of Piedmont, so it has an open breezy feel. (side note - lots of coffee shops and cute little stores in walking distance) I had a full body massage from Michelle that was to die for. Michelle followed my body's cues as well as mine in regards to the massage - I am a bit of a wimp and I need a more gentle touch than most. My second treatment was a fantastic facial with Melisa herself. I had schduled the facial with a trendy place in SFO but cancelled it and scheduled it with Melisa after I had such great treatment and care from Michelle. My skin has not felt so good in a long time. She explained each step of the procedure so I would know what was coming. She also did extractions - okay, they hurt a bit - but they were extractions. She took great care to let me know what type of products would help my skin - not just from the items she had in her shop, but store brand items that could do a good job as well. It was no sales pitch - I got the feeling she was very sincere in her recommendations.
I highly recommend Body by Melisa.
Pros: great customer service
Cons: On second floor with steep stairs - well worth the climb though!
