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

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!

UPDATE - JUNE 13, 2009
I CALLED THESE GUYS FOR MY NEW APARTMENT AND AS PREVIOUS THEY DID FANTASTIC JOB ! ! ! !
THIS COMPANY REALLY DESERVES 5 STAR RATING. KEEP IT UP SPARKLING GUYS ! ! !
I have reposted my review from San Francisco City Search: I am very impressed with the professional of their young entrepreneur & owner Ken. Thought would share my feedback, with the rest of the Citysearch community.
I really appreciate Sparkling Carpets as carpet cleaners. Our kids had partied all night. at our home. The carpet were in a really bad shape, trashed !! with stains all over. I used one of those carpet cleaners from safeway, and did all I could but in vain.
Then my friend suggested Sparkling Carpets and when I saw their work, I was relieved. They were quick to respond and completed their work with thorough perfection leaving behind a lingering fragrance.

Cynthia really cares about her customers, listens to what they want, and has great ideas if you want to try something new. I travel all the way from San Francisco to have her cut my hair because I trust her completely. I found her through a friend whose haricut I had admired for years. After my last haircut, I had two complete strangers come up to me and compliment me on my haricut. Wow - never had that happen to me before! Wonderful salon full of warm-hearted people.

I have looked for over 10 years for the right esthetician and finally found her in Heather Johnson. My skin looks better than I could have ever imagined. What is the best thing she did? She listened. She asked questions. She made excellent, helpful suggestions. I did the Love My Skin facial with microdermabrasion followed by the ultrasound. Amazing combo. I got compliments for days and my new homecare routine is maintaining them. She gets booked far in advance, but it is so worth the wait. I am on her calander every month through 2008!
Pros: VERY skilled Esthetician, friendly, relaxing
Cons: none

The manicure and pedicure at Polish is the best ever! I have gone to many spas and Polish's services are by far superior! I especially like that they do not re-use their emery boards and toe dividers. I also love that they specialize in natural nails. This is the only place I have ever been to where the polish actually lasts on my fingers! The massages they give during the mani and pedi are phenomenal and I love the salt scrub they use. The ambiance is wonderful and the staff is great.
They also have some great jewelry that you rarely see anywhere else.

If you are tired & stressed, please go see Alice at Simply Gorgeous for the most amazing massage you'll ever have. I have been going to her for years and wont go to other therapists, only Alice. She has the most amazing combination of hot stone and deep tissue massage out there, I truly look forward to going to see her and her magic hands. You will be so glad you went to see her you'll start referring her to your friends right away. Her prices are reasonable so you won't break the bank either. Treat yourself, you'll be glad you did!!
Pros: Great small salon, very friendly staff, reasonable prices
Cons: None!

I came to Soleil about 4 months before my wedding in search some color on my skin in contrast to my white dress. The girls here were so helpful in helping me figure out my strategy. I never burnt and felt totally confident for my wedding and honeymoon in Aruba. I think that their prices are very reasonable and I always get great coupons via e-mail from them.
I love the Magic spray Tan and you can't beat their $25 Magic Mornings!
Ooh- I also bought a fun summer purse in their front boutique for cheapo and get tons of compliments on it.

This is a wonderful, small, homey practice, with well-trained and well-educated staff who remember who you are and really seem to take the time to make sure you get the personalized service that you need. I was investigating VelaShape when I first visited Isis, and the doctor/owner called their VelaShape rep to make sure it could help me (hard lumpy stomach after a botched tummy tuck) and then made sure I had my surgeon’s OK, as well, instead of rushing me into a service just to make the sale. I decided to hold off on VelaShape, as my surgeon insists time will take care of this ugly belly, and instead had the Titan treatments. I had a similar treatment about 5 years ago (Thermage) so I knew what to expect, but instead of the one treatment you get with Thermage, I received 4 Titan treatments, and with every one there was more improvement. I would say Titan is superior to Thermage. The doctor/owner even performed 2 of the treatments herself, and the other 2 were performed by a physician’s assistant who obviously knew what she was doing. I’ve had treatments of this sort that were supposed to take a certain amount of time, and instead took half the amount of time or less, and felt that I was rushed out without getting the full service. You won’t get that at Isis, they are as interested in your results as you are. Plus they have specials and discounts every month. Don’t bother with the large national service providers. If you Google for reviews, they are almost all universally bad, and they deserve it. With Isis you get more than you pay for!
Pros: Monthly discounts and specials
Cons: None at all!
