Nikki Cuts Orange County  

Category: Hair Salons

5.0 star rating
1/18/2012 1 photo
Nikki is the FIRST hair stylist I have ever trusted to touch my hair with color and scissors.  I have done my own hair for the past 30 years having gone to cosmetology school.  My girlfriend (Nikki's sister) gets her hair colored and styled by Nikki regularly and she looks fabulous each and every time she has her hair done.  I am happy to say I am 'hooked' on Nikki's services.  I just let her do her thing with my hair and I haven't been disappointed.  I've received the Brazilian Blowout-Keratin treatment, color and cut.  My hair looks healthier than it has in very long time.

If you are looking for a stylist in Orange County, Nikki is the one to go to.

I've been coming here for the last 13years on and off.  The food reminds me  of my ex-mom-in-law who was 100% Italiano and made such great sauce.  

This is a very small establishment and you might even pass it by and not give it a second glance.  But the Carlsbad Locals know about it and have been coming here for many years.  

The salad isn't all that spectacular, just some iceberg and garnish, but that's not why I come here.  The garlic bread is super scrumptious and as mentioned before the sauce is as authentic as I've had.  My kids enjoy the meat sauce and meatballs with pasta and lately I've been enjoying the very authentic sauce and baked ziti every couple of weeks.  Plates run about $9.95 and the child's spaghetti and meat-sauce is $4.95.

Italian family owned and operated.

After perusing the local Christmas Tree Lot at Plaza Camino Real and being disgusted at the pricing...Seriously 1.5 foot nothing of a bush for $17.00 run don't walk away...We drove up to the Home Depot Lot located on the corner of Jefferson and Vista Way in Oceanside/Carlsbad.  Wow, we got a 5" Noble fir (a small one but that's what we wanted) for $20.00 including a stand.  The workmen were very helpful and assisted us with our purchase.  

Thank you Home Depot for great prices on Trees and opening up a LOT apart from the store close to the major shopping areas in Carlsbad and Oceanside :)

UPDATE: The tree died (yes I know it' pretty much a goner but geez) to the point of crispiness 10 days later.  I guess you get what you pay for :(

Okay I'm sorry but this is another 5 star review.  There are places that have irked me but this is NOT one of them.

I LOVE that this is North County Resident Owned and not corporate.  I've been coming here for YEARS and YEARS can't remember exactly maybe 1993 or so.  It has a comfortable, quaint ambiance though sometimes getting a seat can be a little challenging.  

They have some good eats and I have met up here a number of times with friends for a bite to eat.  But the best thing for this coffee connoisseur are the coffee drinks.  Even though the unnamed corporate coffee giant is in the same shopping center, I always prefer to go here to meet with friends for coffee.  My absolute FAV is the Snow Cap.  A coffee ice-cream drink that will satisfy your desire for caffeine and quench your sweet tooth for a week :)

This review is a long time coming.

I couldn't be happier with the job performed by ABC Moving on August 28th.  They moved me from Corona to Carlsbad, CA.  They were hard working, efficient and quick.  I told them they could take a break on my dime and they took maybe 5 minutes.  They never stopped and did a very thorough job.  When they got to my storage unit, they stacked the unit like a TETRIS game.  I could never have done it without them.  So grateful I found you on YELP and listened to your great reviews.  Will recommend to anyone who has to move.

The Trader Joes' in the Bressi Ranch shopping center is great as far as TJ's go.  They are always stocked and their produce is fresh - I haven't come away grumbling that they didn't have any of my favorite products as I have from some other locations.  To top it off the people who work there are genuine, kind and funny :)  

Great products plus super cool people = Satisfied customer.

I have been going to Lotus Thai Bistro since 2007.  I have not been disappointed over the years.  Their spring rolls are absolutely fresh and yummy and my all-time favorite hasn't changed much either...The Lotus Gai Curry which consists of Yellow curry with chicken breast, potatoes, carrots and onion for $12.95 is the BOMB!!!  Honestly I usually get it to go and this entree will feed me for 3 meals.  Seriously great portion and yummy!  Try it if you like yellow curries, you won't be disappointed.

Derrick at MadDog is the man for the job. The job I had was a very challenging serve. Derrick had all his ducks in a row, set up the serve and got it accomplished within 24 hours. I couldn't be happier with his communication, level of professionalism and kindness. I HIGHLY recommend MADDOG to anyone in the Riverside County area for a reliable and professional process server.

Great sushi at affordable prices.  I've been going to Super Cafe for quite a few years and the sushi is yummy and fresh.  I typically get the salmon, white tuna and yellow tail sushi...the white tuna in particular is wonderful. Last week I brought my college daughter and her friend here.  They each ate two rolls (huge rolls-they are college athletes) and I ate 4 orders of sushi...total bill about $40.00-what a deal for fresh sushi.  I agree with other posters, the service is not top notch-but they are nice people.
