Case: My son had a bad experience here. He was 4 when he started. He liked it at first, but then he didn't want to go and would cry if I took him. He couldn't understand what the master was saying to him and the master would clearly get frustrated with him. When my son didn't want to go back, they still tried to withdraw money from my account for months. The communication is horrible.

Case: I've known a lot of these girls for years and they are most definitely the most talented hairstylists I have worked with and had my hair done by. \n\nBeth is my hairstylist and my sisters and she is amazing. Tara, Alia, Patti, and Shanelle are all great hairstylists and have all at one point done my hair. I did hair for over 10 years and I know what to look for, and I trust all of them. \n\nAveda is gentle, and a great product line.

Case: The dilapitated carwash-turned-trattoria is a cute concept and was executed well. Almost feels \""local\"" except for the fact that it's a Fox concept restaurant and carries the same inauthentic atmosphere as the rest. They did a very nice job reonvating this space and gave it some great curb appeal. But it lacks the true Arcadia genuineness present at it's neighbors' establishments. It's in the food, it's in the people. It's not in NoRTH.\n\nMy experiences have been mixed. The first visit was very nice - just there for some small bites and wine. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were incredibly friendly. Food was slightly above mediocre though incredibly salty and oily. Second visit - not so nice. Called ahead to see if they allowed dogs. The hostess put me on hold to confirm and came back with a yes. When we arrived, we were met with a \""um, no.\"" They (the manager) were a little (or a lot) snooty about it, so my third visit took a while to come around. Similar to the first with mediocre results.\n\nThe bar is beautious with friendly bartenders, so I haven't even bothered with waiting for a table. The front staff always seems a little annoyed that we're even walking in like \""I guess we can be bothered to seat you\"" which is why we always just help ourselves to the bar. It's close to home with all day happy hour on Sundays (decent wine), so I'll probably be back eventually. But only if I'm eager to have one of those \""stumble home in a wine stupor\"" nights.

Case: Be sure to make reservations in advance!  And don't confuse it with the Joel Robushon restaurant next door either.  The prices differ drastically!  \n\n4.5 stars. Why the missing half star?  I'll get to that later. \n\nBread basket was yummy.  I had to seriously control myself from getting full off the delicious croissants. \n\nSeasonal tasting menu = amazing.  Be prepared for a 2+ hour dinner.  Fairly small plates but you will be FULL after finishing all 11 courses.  Highlights: foie gras parfait,  hamachi, foie gras, and quail.  Loved the order in which each dish was served.  These courses will make you foie gras-LOVER.\n\nUni Pasta - The pasta was cooked perfectly.  Chewy in the middle.  Uni was fresh.  Only downside was the sauce.  It was extremely salty which came as a bit if a shock, but I'm sure it was a mistake?  Everything else was seasoned perfectly is why this threw me off. Half star off for that. \n\nDecor is beautiful.  It's a fairly small restaurant with a glossy black/red interior with an open kitchen.  Parties of one or two will most likely be seated on the counter - which I love!  You get a front row seat view of beautiful culinary creations being made.

Case: I rented a luxury car from avis for about a week in July. The car itself was fine and returning it was easy. I give Avis 2 stars in the way the extra insurance/gas options were presented to me. The woman who handled the reservation just stated \""comprehensive coverage\"" and expected an answer from me and did not delve into cost/what it entailed. Anyone who does not have experience renting a car would say yes and not know they agreed to pay 40+dollars/day extra!!!! This is inexcusable.  When I declined the insurance she told me my own policy probably wouldn't cover the car as it was worth more than what I drove. I took the comment/piece of advice to be offensive as she made an assumption on what I drove.

Classify the following: If I could give this place less than 1 star I would. \n\nLived here for two years. The first year was ok but the apartment and appliances need updating. AC doesn't work well and the door handles are terrible. Doors are thin and get holes easily. \n\nThis place is leased and some units are owned and rented. During the second year we noticed that the quality of people in the complex was declining. There was a lot of noise, drugs, and the place was filthy. No one cleaned up after there dogs, trash was everywhere, and I saw a lot of broken windows in the complex. \nBecause some units are owned and foreclosed, if the fire alarm batteries die and the alarm beeps, you can hear it all night. The office refuses to help. The alarm down stairs from us beeped for a week. It was awful....they said they couldn't do anything and when we asked to move they said we would have to pay. \n\nThe people in the office are rude and condescending. They don't want to help you and don't respond to issues. \n\nA police and swat team came up our stairs to \""question\"" the guy living across from us. Lights were always out and I would have to walk from my car to the apartment in the dark with alll kinds of teenagers lurking around, smoking and drinking. \n\nI will say that the maintenance staff here was always great. Polite, respectful and fast. Loved them! \n\nOverall a terrible place to live. WOuld not recommend.
