This store is really popular with teenagers, actually teenage girls. They sell all sorts of sparkle-y and glitzy things at very affordable prices. There is a large selection of knockoff designer bags, also know as designer-inspired bags. But let's call it what it is: an imitation Louis Vuitton pouchette that is found on the arms of many a teenage girl (and possibly their mothers too) was probably purchased here.
Also, there are a lot of shiny accessories, such as jewelry and other adornments, and you can find any color to match any outfit.
The store is especially popular at prom and winter formal time when high school girls are in a flurry to coordinate accessories with their dresses. A selection of prom jewelery is available, with the ubiquitous tiara that everyone seems to be wearing.
This store is what it is and it serves its clientèle very well. The teenage girls love it and they do a good business. As an adult, I would not shop there, because it is just not my style.

This museum is all about community education. The collection numbers over a million objects of natural science, regional history, archives and anthropology. Of particular interest is the quilt collection, some of which date back 200 years!
One spectacular sight is the mastodon that was found in Avon, NY and is on display at the museum. In addition, a number of Native American artifacts are here, including a log cabin which serves as a story-telling vehicle.
The Adventure Zone is a great place for hands-on activities to teach children about science in a playful manner.
This is a great place for families with children and adults.

My family has used Dapper Dan as a dry cleaner for as long as I can remember. They are located conveniently in town, right next to the Tops grocery store. It is a smaller shop, but they are very efficient. They offer same day service but have a quick turnaround on clothes otherwise. We have trusted them with all sorts of materials and have always received our clothes back in wonderful condition. We were given a frequent customer card that entitles us to 20% off our incoming dry cleaning. The hours are great so you have time to pick your dry cleaning up on your way home from work or even after dinner. Staff is very nice.

This gym, located on the second floor of a bulding in the center of the town of New Hartford. A small salon is located beneath, as is a restaurant. The gym is the bare basics and is frequented by mostly middle age people and those who want a no-frills workout. There is no pick up scene or fancy classes. Just Nautillus machines, some cardio machines and free weights.
The owner is frequently at the gym and he has a long history of involvement in fitness, personally and professionally. The staff is mostly high school students who are helpful with any requests.

Heads Up Family Salon is a basic salon located in an older strip mall right by Wegmans in Fairport. The stylists are so friendly that you feel very welcome to be there. They also use high quality salon products.
The stylist to whom I was assigned was very young, possibly right out of beauty school. She was chatty and seemed open to many style possibilities. She had cut the hair of her best friend, who had the same thick and wavy hair that I do, so she knew what cuts would just not be good for me. I got a good basic cut and she blew dry my hair perfectly straight. Beyond a basic cut, though, I am not sure that I would go back to this salon as I am not sure they are sophisticated enough to perform something beyond this. I saw men, women and children there so it is truly a family salon.
There are coupons frequently in the paper for $10 off for first time customers. A cut with wash and blow dry is $27, before the coupon.
Waxing is offered as well, but I have no feedback on that as I have not had that service at this salon.

This gym is located, as the name suggests, in a renovated mill. As a result, it is a great open space with lots of windows. The gym is well spaced out so you never feel crowded--unless, of course, you are here right after work during peak hours. There are great classes offered here, including a Boot Camp class that works you into a sweat and leaves muscles you never knew you had aching. There is also a great indoor track for those who prefer to run, but not on a treadmill.
There does tend to be a bit of a meat market feel here, people want to work out, but they also scope each other out.

The true highlight of this salon, located on a busy road by the local mall, is the nail technician. She is very nice and does a wonderful job with your nails. She uses only top quality products, not the cheap stuff you get in those nail salons in strip malls. As such, the manicure or pedicure you get will last for a long time. Her color selection is really good as well, ranging from the bright to the subdued and natural. She does a great job of recommending colors that will compliment your skin tone, if you ask her. A truly pampering experience, she spends a lot of time making sure that your nails look great--you soak and she will scrub and massage lotion in, leaving you very relaxed.
Also offered are traditional salon services. The clientèle is of all ages and they are very good at listening to what you want.

This salon is very popular. The place is bustling and seldom runs on time. Most recently I was there getting my hair done for my sister's wedding. The stylists had an idea of what they thought wedding hair should look like and were not receptive to what we wanted. So if you know what you want, be forceful and don't get steamrolled by their pushiness, especially for your wedding. I find this is especially true for us younger people who wear our hair much differently than our mothers or grandmothers, who may be more comfortable at this salon.
The updos that they provide are great--my hair, which is thick and wavy, did not budge for 14 hours in the August humidity. You can count on your hairstyle lasting. Nails can be done as well as the salon. The work is good and the technicians are chatty.

Dr. Stein re-did 4 root canals my husband had done unnecessarily by a shady dentist in Staten Island. He walked us through what the problems were with his teeth by showing us the x-rays and pointing out what the problems were. He told us what the follow-up procedure would entail and spaced out the 4 root canals over time, telling us which were the most urgent and which could wait. We appreciated that he was really looking out for my husband's well-being.
On the day of the procedure, Dr. Stein was reassuring. My husband had no pain and was not at all uncomfortable at any point. Dr. Stein has the most wonderful rapport with his patients.
His staff is beyond kind and friendly and Dr. Stein runs on time. The waiting room has a great selection of magazines, is spacious and has a TV tuned into CNN. The office is modern.

When we were looking where to move to in Rochester, we contacted Randy, one of the top brokers at this Re-Max in Pittsford. Even though we were looking for a house in the start of winter, and the market was proverbially slow, Randy explained to us the different towns and neighborhoods in and around Rochester and even drove us around for a day to show us what selection was on the market.. She was very friendly, found out quickly what our preferences were, and modified her selection appropriately.
When we finally do decide to buy a house in Rochester, we will certainly use her services again.
