I have mixed-feelings about Skin Spirit, have experienced both good and not-so-good visits. Overall, you will be in competent hands, so don't worry: front staff is professional & friendly, nurse is knowledgable and easy to talk to, estheticians are experienced and have a really great manner. Facilities are lovely. I was not at all keen on one of the services I received there. Make sure you understand WTH dermaplaning is...I did not, and it was not for me, nor do I think it should have been recommended for me.

Update: This is a business that cares about the client experience and wants to make things right. I just got a call from them, offering to discuss the service I had and inviting me to come back and try them again. I will come back and try something better tailored to my skin. Thank-you.

yummy yum YUM! So happy to have one nearby. Love the MV & Sausalito locations. This one is shiny and new and every bit as tasty. I've probably visited 5x since they opened last month.

5+++ stars. Michele Huertas in SF on Post St is simply the nicest and most helpful - and I have visited many other Tiffany & Co locations over the past decade looking for a solution. I can wear my wedding ring again after 10+ years! Thank-you SO much, Michelle. My all-time BEST retail experience.

Upscale Irish bar? Excellent pub food?? Sit down restaurant?! This place was once the funnest, sweatiest place for reggae & 70s funk dance music...a great Saturday was once Thep Pahom, Toronado's, (nextdoor sausage snack) then late-night bumping at Nickie's BBQ. There were no barstools - let alone tables! Oh well, 5 stars for nostalgia...

Yummy. Great for wine-lovers. Simple-good food lovers. People with kids. Owner Mark was very nice and welcoming, open restaurant and booths were great. White paper covers the tables so kids can COLOR! Menu is varied and terrific. Neighborhood eatery.

5-star chicken chow-mein. My children's favorite. I order take-out of their favorite dish from China Villa all the time!

Magnolia Avenue Salon

Beautiful, light-bright salon, with lovely picture windows. They carry 2 of my favorite hair-care brands - Kerastase & Moroccan Oil. I have long, wavy hair - can look kind of style-less when the layers grow out. I probably only average 2-3 cuts/yr, but when I do, I opt for a really good stylist. The owner of the salon gave me a very, very good cut and her daughter gave me the best style afterwards...she used about 6 soft bristle brushes to blow dry and "set" my hair. It was the best blow-out I've had and I felt so pretty upon leaving the salon. I'll be back -

So good. My new favorite Persian restaurant n the city (sorry, Maykadeh). Very small, but quaint. Friendly service. So fresh and not overly salty! Really good lentil soup, shirazi salad, kotlet, eggplant stew (esp yummy) and hot tea. Kids loved their yellow chicken and fluffy saffron rice - we'll be back. I'm craving it again already....

Beautiful. Amazing on a sunny day. I LOVE the pebbly beach - great for picnics - no messy sand everywhere. It IS a hike though - if you have small children (under 5), or not-so-fit grandparents with you. You can bike part of the way there, but after that it gets a bit too gravelly for the tricycle set. Use the toilets in the park lot as you'll want to stay a while once you hike in. Stay left for the easier (less hilly) trek. Dangerous surf - keep an eye on the kids. Cool rocks.
