I moved to the area from Los Angeles a few years ago and was paralyzed with fear with the idea of trying a new salon. I tried Juut b/c I love Aveda products and b/c the price was consistent with what I normally pay for a master-level stylist in NYC or LA (I figured if I paid the same, I would get about the same - not a miracle, but at least a little help). I was deeply surprised and pleased when Louise actually DID work miracles with my hair - she is hands down the BEST stylist I have ever had. My hair is extremely difficult to work with b/c it's curly and very fine, and I have TONS of it. Louise is such an amazing stylist that I would literally and happily pay her twice as much (plus, she's always been totally happy and willing to cut it to last a little longer between cuts - 4 to 6 months instead of 2-3). I recommend her to everyone - and ESPECIALLY to anyone with curly (read: nightmare) hair. I cannot tell you how many compliments I get - even my mother, who notoriously hates everything I've ever done to my hair, told me how great my hair lookes and asked what I've been doing differently. For the first time, my curly hair is a blessing instead of a curse. Louise is a GENIUS. Best of all, I don't have to stress about what I want - I can ask her to do what she thinks is best - and she does, and she's always right., even while she's sensitive to what I /do/ want (length, level of daring, etc.) No matter what, my hairstyle is always beautiful and fashion conscious. I cannot recommend her highly enough. And to those of you who have complained about the price, I understand it's pricey - but If you're willing to pay $150 for an outfit you'll wear a couple of times (or even a couple outfits you'll wear several times), I think it's well worth the investment to pay for a fabulous haircut you'll wear every day, rain or shine, for the next 3-6 months (or longer). Louise is a hair master - and she's also a really nice, funny, and warm person. Louise ROCKS!
Pros: amazing style, friendly staff, wonderful products (but no product pushing)
Cons: lighting is a little too low, ambience not as serene as would be expected, must book appts. a month in advance

My doctor Dr.Kroes is an amazing doctor. I had some tests done and I was very worried he actually called me at work and we had a nice conversation he wanted to see how I was doing and told me my results..That made me feel at ease and very satisfied with not just Dr.Kroes but the whole facility. You never wait more then 15 minutes..

Dr. Beryl is an old school vet. He provides excellent care for a great price. He takes a very non-invasive approach to vet care. He was our dog's vet for a couple of years before we relocated, and we were visited him for both routine shots and borderline emergency situations. He was great in every context, and my dog always received exceptional care.
The front office staff could get rather flustered when it got busy.

When I am in need of a therapeutic place to go without having to pay resort style pricing, I go to Body Kneads. The prices are very reasonable, the place is immaculate, and the service there always consistently over indulging.
If regular spa treatments is your thing, then go here... The atmosphere is pleasant without the fluff (in cost) of other spas!

I was reminded once again how much I like the Garden Court. It is right in the middle of Palo Alto and with the renaissance of the center there, there are fewer t-shirt shops and many more classy restaurants.
The Garden Court is de rigour for the Stanford MBA events, but it is really a nice hotel. Free wifi and Internet and they are now part of an exclusive chain.
The service if anything is better than ever and I really like the winebar and the morning coffee and danish they serve. Also this is one of the few places with parking in central Palo Alto.

Dr Powar has delivered my three children, one in the most difficult of circumstances. He has always been approachable, knowledgeable, kind and friendly. He is held in very high regard by his colleagues and is commonly mentioned as the doctor that medical professionals go to for their own ObGyn care. I would recommend him very strongly to anybody who needs a conscientious and committed doctor who really cares about his patients.
