The Body Studio is a for-use-by-personal-trainers only gym. Hours are flexible, the trainers are AMAZING, and best of all, it only costs $50 per 1 hour session (vs. $65 + at most gyms). No membership fee or anything.

I used to go to Yosh in San Francisco and would easily spend $300 not including parking. Now I go to Diana after resisting for many years (my husband has known her for a long time) Now I see her all the time she is very reasonable and knows her trade very well. She knew exactly what color to color my hair and didn't even need to look at the chart(we did go over the chart though) Her cuts are just as good as my hair stylist at Yosh.

I have had my eyes examined by others, but never like I have had at Borel Eye Doctors. The Doctor really knew her stuff and took the time to figure out how to help me see better. I just picked up my glasses and a pair of contacts and it's amazing--- the difference is like night and day for me.
I think one of the reasons is they have a digital scanner that takes a few seconds instead of taking hours because they don't have to dilate my eyes. I have never seen this before. And they have the latest equipment which is clean and comfortable, including their exam chair. But the real reason I love this place is because they are so good.
I found the staff to be helpful, patient and caring. They have many, many frames and the prices were fair, if not lower than my old optometrist.
I will not hesitate to recommend Borel Eye Doctors to my friends and family.
I wish I had found them years ago for my mother, who really needs to see better. She's got an appointment next week.

I was in the mood for a change, so I walked in and told the owner I wanted a cut and highlights, nothing more. I told her I was looking for a change and that as the expert, I trusted her. I walked out with natural highlights and a great cut! It was my first time, but it won't be my last!

Horrible customer service. After ruining several suits and shirts the owner blamed the damage on me. As if I am the one who burned my 4 suits and 3 shirts. Be mindful of their honesty also. They love to overcharge so please check all your receipts. They were great for a few months, but when the damage happened, they treated me with disrespect and hostility. Please be careful!

Okay, so it's not as pretty as the new PJCC and it doesn't have a pool, but there are some good aerobics and spinning classes. They have good personal trainers. They have ellipticals and treadmills and recumbent bikes and basketball and racquetball courts. They have free weights and a jacuzzi and sauna. They offer a childwatch which is reasonably priced and there is a "womens" room near the childwatch where you can work out if you don't want to be far in case your child has separation issues or you are a woman who is uncomfortable working out with men around. It seems to be kept clean. They frequently have deals on membership. Okay, it's not open 24 hours a day, but most people don't work out at 2 am!

I called Dr. Bowers on a referral from a friend who has been his patient for years. It was an "emergency", for me at least, since I am blind without my glasses and my glasses were cracked. My old doctor could see me a week later - a WEEK! Dr. Bowers could fit me in that day. He gave me a complete examination and ordered my glasses. Since I have a small head, he suggested children's glasses so I could save money since my vision plan doesn't cover everything. I've had glasses for years and I haven't been a child for years and no one has ever suggested that! The optician in the office is knowledgeable and got my glasses quickly and is happy to adjust my glasses when I bring them in. The receptionist is always pleasant and there is hardly a wait from checking in to being seen.

We started going here after Just Kids Cuts in Burlingame started raising their prices, but now this hole in the wall, one stylist 'salon' continues to raise their prices and I'm bailing to Supercuts, at least for my son with his "basic boy cut". I might continue to take my daughter here because I think a girl's cut is more important and more difficult. This salon has a small but toy stuffed waiting room. They also have a limited selection of hair product and sometimes sell toys from "Nature at Play" toys. They have the requisite race car chair and the video-sedation set up. It's right on El Camino near Crystal Springs Road and parking is sometimes problematic.

My first spa experience was here at Laura's. They are a wonderful group of people who work here. THe receptionist is this really sweet local girl who was really nice and pleasant to talk to. I got my french manicure there and the workers are really nice and do a reall y good job. I came back for a facial- and that was nice, they have a small room in the back that is pretty nice and dark. very good and relaxing. I love this spa!! I highly recommend it to everyone!

I've been here twice. It is easy to walk in with no appt. Last time I got my eyebrows waxed and she did it so that one did not match the other! Then I went back this week and a different person told me "These don't match", and of course I wanted to say that one of your coworkers did it! She waxed my eyebrows but barely so I can't believe I paid $15 plus tip to not look like they were even done.
I'm done with this place. It's convenient but that's about it.
