Customer Feedback:
Ernesto Moran
“He is a wonderful hair stylist, a perfectionist. I get compliments all the time. I’m pretty picky about my hair, and I’ve been going to him for several years. I’m really happy with his work – he takes a lot of time, and does a really good job.”

Oakland/Berkeley
Customer Feedback:
McKinley Painting
“McKinley painted the whole exterior of my home. They were extremely careful with everything, especially the plants outside. We have an older home in Berkeley and he was very aware of how to take care of it. He was the most knowledgeable painting contractor we talked to. His workers didn’t play loud music, smoke, or chat. They just got the job done.”

Customer Feedback:
Arachne’s Thimble
“I’ve been going to Dama since she opened. She’s done all kinds of alterations for me— from changing clothing sizes, to hems, to everything else— and she’s much better than the average seamstress. Her service is excellent!”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
J & J Owens Electric, Inc.
“They’re awesome— first class all the way. They solved a couple of problems that our previous electrical contractor had created, and did a flawless job. They were prompt, neat, did everything by the book, and at the price they quoted. They went above and beyond my expectations. I recommend them big time.”
