I've gone to Tangles to see Lyn Nakamura for eyelash extensions twice now and her work is absolutely flawless. The customer service at Tangles is always wonderful and Lyn especially makes the effort to make you feel welcomed and at home.
My eyelashes lasted a good two weeks. I think I went back to Lyn on my third week to get a touch up and about a week later they still look great. (Note that the "lifespan" of the extensions depends mostly on how well you take care of them. Lyn gave good tips.)
I also recently got an updo by Lyn for a wedding and she took what I wanted and incorporated it with what looked best on me. The updo stayed in place until I took it down that night. A good sign of a terrific stylist!
Pros: Eyelash Extensions & Updo
Cons: Too bad I don't make enough money to go there all the time

The Sake Pairing events give an opportunity to taste different types of high quality sake along with the food being served. It is something you really don't want to miss and bring along some of your friends. I guarantee you will have fun...as long as the sake keeps flowing!
Pros: Great fun, meet new people, delicious food, Excellent Sake!
Cons: Too small?

I lived in Pasadena for 10 years before I moved and I have yet to find better food than Saladang. Saladang is the most consistent restaurant I have ever eaten at. The service was always awesome. And the food was always good. When I come back it will be on my things to do in LA list. I miss you Saladang!!!!
Pros: Too many to list.
Cons: Parking only issue.

I found this place by accident and when I discovered Virtual Nails, my years-long acrylic nails nightmare ended. Virtual Nails allowed my badly damaged natural nail beds to heal and now my real nails are strong are healthy, but I can't resist the pretty Virtual Nails--
The great thing is if I just want natural nails for awhile, it's no problem, cause when I take them off, my own nails aren't ruined. It's no more expensive than getting fills for acrylics and you don't have to do it if you don't want to...
and, I had a pedi, too, and it was heavenly...
This place is clean, pretty and everyone is nice, professional and knows what they're doing...
I'm telling everyone about Dashing Diva...
Pros: Best solution to acrylic nails
Cons: none

The New York Strip steak that was aged for 40 days was one of the best steaks that I have ever had. The sides were typical chop house style sides, but their deserts were outstanding. I recommend starting with the Bibb salad, New York Strip for the entrée with sweet corn and wild mushrooms as sides, and ending with the Grand Marnier soufflé.

If you ever want fabulous salads to dress up or be your catered meal. Green Street has become our reliable and favorite supplier. All of the salads are great, but the Dianne, Southwestern Caesar, and the Cornucopia are staples for us. Enjoy JK

I visited the spa before making reservations for my best friends birthday becauase of the reviews I'd read. This is a first class establishment. I toured the facility with no hesitation from the staff and made my reservations for four before I left. My friend who was celebrating her birthday was just as impressed as I was as soon as she walked in the door, as were her sister and friend with us. The parking lot across the way was close and convenient, the treatments we had were excellent, the staff treated us like we were VIP's, but that is the way everyone seemed to be treated. We stayed as long as we wanted, and were never rushed. The only negative is we had to be quiet in the jacuzzi, and try and keep any number of women quiet in a close enviornment. The frozen grapes, cucumber slices and warm towels for our eyes were served to us by staff members as if we were royality. If you want to treat yourself or someone you care a lot about, you have to visit BW in Pasadena. The spa is within walking distance from many restaurants, and we were able to leave the car in the lot, drop off our bags, and walk to lunch. My friend is still thanking me, and asking when are we going to do it again.
Pros: Staff is at your beck and call
Cons: We had to be quiet in the jacuzzi

This place is a gem that I lost 25 years ago, But on Friday I found an old friend that I hope to see a lot more of in the future.
This is a place to go for a quick bit, to take a few friends for a burger and some laughs, or the whole family for burgers and pies.
The breakfast is pretty good too.
If you go once you?ll keep going back.
Pros: Great burgers & pies
Cons: limited seating

I'm amazed at one of the reviewers who wrote such a horrible and untruthful review of this restaurant. We go here at least once a week and the service is always fantastic. I've NEVER been upcharged for a meal--the prices are extremely reasonable. You do need to ask for water as they're conserving water for the environment (there are signs clearly posted) but they are NEVER rude and the manager is always amazingly attentive. We haven't had any issues so I'm not sure what it would be like if we needed something fixed, etc. but I figure about 50 trips a year (at least) without incident or complaint makes it pretty unlikely that anyone new will have a problem (unless you're unreasonable-I'm guessing??).
We hardly ever try anything new because we have our "favorites" but love taking friends here so we can taste what they order and develop new ones! Great dishes are Kao Pad Ka Na (broccoli and cashew nut), Pad See Iew (rice noodles with broccoli and egg), yellow curry, spicy beef salad, rice cups with tofu (appetizers) and the apple salad (unusual but fantastic!). And great Thai iced tea.
The outside dining area with huge iron walls makes it a beautiful place for an evening meal, too!
Pros: Great price, good service, fantastic environment
Cons: None we can think of!
