this yoga studio is fantastic and the reality is it's the most reasonably priced. it has a large variety of classes to choose from, and I almost always see at least one instructor in the class I'm taking (read: the instructors don't just stand there and tell you what to do, they practice what they preach). for students the price is only like $9 a class, pretty unheard of in this area, esp for a place with this high of quality

Though this place is tiny and in a basement, this is one of the few Y's around that have raquet ball courts--ususlly you have to go to high end clubs for this. You can reserve the courts on line, which make it so much easier on your schedule. If you have the right membership, you can go to any of the Y's--Ross Road, El Camino, here--all within driving distance. Each one has different strengths.

This is a nice place if you love swimming, playing tennis or basketball and a lot of other things. They offer all kinds of classes and there is something to meet everyone needs. They also offer some kids classes too. The service is fine, but since the prices are competitive, the place is always too crowded.

This is a salon I have been looking for my whole life. It is hip and chic yet not uptight or "too cool" . Everyone is so friendly. The staff appears to be very well educated and talented. You expect to leave a salon feeling like a million bucks and this place lives up to that expectation. I was told it is a new salon. I thank god it opened. This area needs a place with such nice and diverse people just like the kind area we live in.
I also love the haircare lines they carry. I can't wait until my next visit.

This is the best destination for those who enjoy vintage clothing or are looking for authentic period rentals. This sweet shop has a huge selection of clothing and accessories from the Victorian to the 1980s periods. While I enjoy purchasing my one-of-a-kind gorgeous items - I specifically collect 1940s and 1950s dresses and suits - they also have a fabulous rental selection and they have a great selection of wigs to complete the look. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable and the whole atmosphere is a fun shopping experience. I stop by on a regular basis because they are always expanding their stock. If you like vintage - or have a friend that does - send them to this store and they will thank you. It is really the best kept secret in Palo Alto.

I worked in Mountain View for a few years. I found that I could call ahead to the Supercuts and by the time I was there my name was at the top of the list.
I did have mixed success, but never had a really bad haircut there. Plus it met my basic needs: shorter hair, quickly.

I have used Stanford Florists for years. I keep coming back because the flowers are flawless. However, I've had a few misshaps, like when they called my wife to verify her address several days before her birthday (the flowers were supposed to be a surprize.) Another time they just forgot to deliver the flowers completely, though still charged my card. Still, I've probably used them about 10 times, and all the others were perfect.
PROS: Great flowers. Great local florist
CONS: Sometimes they drop the ball.

I would like to talk a little about my favorite product that I have from SkinSpirit: the Color Science Sunscreen, which is a powder that comes in a tube dispenser with a brush. It is a physical sunscreen of SPF 30 and stays on even in the water. I love it because it’s so easy to apply, just dust it over your face and neck. Plus, it works great over make-up and doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy. It’s great for kids to because it so easy to put on them. I know a lot of women who carry it around it their purse so that they can reapply throughout the day, or dust over their kids faces after prolonged sun exposure. This great product comes in over 10 different colors so that everyone can find a power that complements their skin tone. If you don’t want to worry about premature aging due to sun exposure, come into SkinSpirit and try this product. It looks beautiful and prevents sun damage, which I learned from SkinSpirit staff, causes 90% of all visible aging!
