This is an organization with a lot of history of doing good things for people, especially kids. They have after school programs here, recreation programs during school vacations, and lot of opportunities for mentoring, homework assistance, recreation and socialization. If you don't have kids, they always need volunteers to act as role models, coach sports or teach a skill.

There are many people I know who use the Y for child care (they sign up for the gym, then use the childwatch and just read) but it is much more than that. They have many classes, including a new knitting class, summer camps and many other events for the community. The biggest drawback is the expensive monthly membership fee, and very expensive signup fee.
PROS: lots of options
CONS: expensive

Just discovered this Salon and have been going there ever since. The place is extremely clean & professional. The prices are reasonable. They also have wireless connection, so I bring my laptop while I crank out work on the computer. Power Point presos & pedicures -- my personal heaven :)
Pros: clean; owners & staff are friendly

Tina's Nails - I used to go to Tina's Nails to get my manicure when I lived closet to the salon. I don't anymore because I prefere to walk to a salon that is within a walking distance. But I liked what my nails looked like after Tina's Nails. They did split but they looked pretty - clean and nicely polished. The service that I got there was also nice - polite manicurist and a very sweet lady. I would recomend this place.

I have been a customer of Tina's for almost 20 years, through tips, natural nails and gel. Tina has always done a beautiful job and I always get compliments on how nice my nails (and toes) look. Her shop provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere, accompanied by wonderful service.
Tina is my Nail Queen.

I have been a client of Tina's for over a decade and, believe me, there is a huge difference in Tina's service vs. the local no-name nail joint. Tina addresses your nail health, not just appearance, and creates a personalized regimen for your nails' condition. Her service is professional, extremely proficient and the salon is a soothing atmosphere -- always clean and well-appointed. Tina's pedicures are amazing, literally! Treat yourself to some Tina-time today. You will be glad you did.

I'm pretty picky about my hair and I've had great results at Barberia. I've been going to Antonia for two years -- she's great. The staff is polite and Barberia brand hair products are good, as are the Aveda ones -- the salon sells both.
I went to a man once, I think his name was Leonard (?), and he razored my hair too much and it looked bad for two months. Maybe he just didn't know my hair?
Anyway, I'd recommend this place to anyone!

I have so many great things to say about STRANDS SALON! My first impression was based on my encounter with the very friendly and helpful receptionist. She helped me get placed with the best stylist to fit my needs. Everyone was very friendly, I felt comfortable right away. My stylist is Elle, she specializes in color and she fixed my mess. All of the stylists have mandatory in salon education. If you are looking for a new salon, I highly recommend that you try Strands. You will not be dissapointed.
Pros: Highly knowledgable and cheery staff, 20 years in business. In previous years was in Elle Magazine, won Best of the Bay
Cons: I will let you know when I think of one.

I recently had a facial and massage there and really enjoyed everything. I've needed a good place to go (I'm new to the San Mateo area) and I must say that they were as good, if not better, than many of the spas I've frequented in San Francisco! Highly recommend and definately going back.
