Amazing instructor and down to earth! My daughter took lessons for a year with Nicole and then I joined the musical bandwagon and started taking lessons myself. She’s gives fun and quirky explanations and analogies to easily understand musical terms I never once knew. We love it! Also my daughter actually likes to practice now because she has gotten to a point to where she’s playing songs that she enjoys.

Google "Bikram Choudbury is a fugitive from justice". Google the accusations of SA and racism, the lawsuit against Bikram. When you have a problem with a rule here, there is no higher admin to help you, only Bikram's old friend Jim. Jim banned my mother and cousin, two Mexicans from Tijuana, after locking the door 5 minutes before class and refusing to let us in. My cousin

and mother are banned, but not me, which I do interpret badly, considering the allegations of racism that surround Bikram's atmosphere. My mother and cousin look differently than I do. Your $175 a month can pay for a gym or yoga school that provides parking and proper administrative process for complaints. For a place that does not provide adequate parking on Hancock street, they don't need to lock the doors 5 minutes before class, but go off. Your $175 a month should not mean you're locked out of class for being on time. There is also a documentary about Bikram Choudbury that is very worth watching before supporting this school.

when you contact my insurance company, that never happened till yesterday, I got a missed call from your office, no voice mail no email at all, then your office called me this morning at 10am, ask me again about my insurance information, are they even doing their job? I told them I email it to you on October 5th, she keep asking me to give her my insurance information again and again! I told her I do not have it with me today, I will give it to you tomorrow afternoon at 1530 appointment,or I 'll call you tomorrow morning. About 20 minutes later, she called me said, you cancel my appointment that I need to see a specialist. Are you kidding me? I told you from the beginning that I need deep cleaning and inquire about tooth implant, I sent my X-ray on October 5th and my insurance, after you received my X-ray you emailed me confirmed my appointment ! Do you have any other reason to explain why you canceled my appointment tomorrow afternoon 1530 except disrespect your patient??????????? You are not a trustworthy dentist ! You wasted my time for almost a month, REMEMBER your time are not precious than your patients!!!!!!

Worst experince ever. No one should go thru what we went thru after loosing a loved one. PLEASE look into at least two other companies before you decide on this one. It's always good to compare prices plus you will see the difference in customer service and quality.
I have an older tri-level home and discovered trace amounts of Chrysotile asbestos (0.30%) in the joint compound. CA rules are pretty strict—anything above 0.1% is treated as hazardous, so after researching I chose Watkins because they were responsive, cost competitive and had great reviews. However, based on my nightmarish experience that’s where the positives end.
Short version:
Watkins did not follow the agreed procedures. Their techs did not install proper containment around work areas and

walked around my entire home with visible drywall dust on their clothes + shoes. Now my home has unsafe levels of asbestos where they worked (and likely in more areas). Another licensed contractor recommended I throw away all contaminated porous items in my home (carpet, couch, bedding, clothes etc.) and it will cost $2k to fix the damaged entryway wall.
Long version:
Watkins came on 6/30 to:
1. Remove vinyl wallpaper glued to joint compound (white sections) in the entryway
2. Cut + remove drywall in the laundry room
3. Cut + remove drywall in the master bath
Watkins techs began in the lower level laundry room and I immediately had concerns. They used a motorized tool to cut into drywall without fully sealing off the area—just a single plastic tarp with a slit cut down the middle (see pic). They also didn’t use negative pressure as discussed + had no HEPA filter or vacuum in the work area. After sawing drywall, the lead tech emerged from the laundry room with visible dust covering his hands, shirt, jeans and boots and walked up carpeted stairs to the main level to get the HEPA vacuum to use after the fact (see pic of footprint). I raised these concerns with the lead and was assured they’d use negative pressure in the other areas.
Next they did the master bath on the upper level—walking along unprotected carpet with the same dusty boots + clothes. The lead tech left and the sole remaining tech proceeded to cut/hammer on the drywall without fully sealing the area off and again didn’t use negative pressure, a HEPA filter or vacuum (see pic), despite being told by his lead to do so. When the lead returned, he apologized and said the miscommunication may have been bc the other tech speaks limited English. I called the VP of Watkins with my growing concerns and he sent a supervisor, but nobody alerted me when the supervisor arrived/he never spoke with me (I was isolating in a room upstairs).
Next they removed the entry wallpaper and finally used a critical barrier + negative pressure to vent the air through a window. At this time I was unable to go downstairs since the critical barrier blocked my only exit—this was discussed beforehand and I was told it could take 4+ hrs and then they’d remove the barrier so I wouldn’t be trapped. But during those few hours they decided to leave the barrier up overnight even though I was still upstairs. As they were about to leave, knowing I was stuck upstairs, I had to call out for help and had them bring a ladder so I could escape out a second story window.
The next day I spoke to the VP again who admitted things went poorly, and that he would use the videos + images I took to improve his team’s training around what not to do. He asked how they could make things right, and I requested asbestos tests be conducted where his team worked and he agreed.
Watkins sent people to clean my home twice before tests were taken, yet both of the surface tests on 7/8 found unsafe levels of asbestos inside my home. Chrysotile asbestos was found in the laundry on the washing machine at 32,300 s/cm2 and on the carpet near the master bedroom at 139,000 s/cm2. NOTE: > 10,000 s/cm2 is considered unsafe.
Prior to the abatement I tested near the entryway to see if I accidentally disturbed any asbestos when removing a section of wallpaper. The surface test found no asbestos and the air test found 1 structure of Amosite asbestos, 5x lower than safe limits. Yet Watkins now claims this 1 asbestos structure, which is completely different than the Chrysotile currently all over my house, is proof that I contaminated my home *before* they walked over my carpets in dusty boots and they are therefore not responsible.
Despite several attempts since receiving these test results to have Watkins remediate the damage it created, things have not proceeded at all. Beyond the contamination, the techs gouged/damaged the entryway drywall, which the VP agreed to pay to fix until he realized it would cost $2K. Now he’s only willing to waive the $1,150 original invoice to go toward this cost, leaving me with the remaining $850 + the cost to hire another licensed abatement company to remove the carpets/clean up the asbestos Watkins left behind + replace the carpet, which he’s never offered to do.
Watkins’ techs were undertrained and I don’t feel they took the health risks of asbestos seriously. I’ve been out of my home since their work on June 30 and will be until it can be fully remediated and is safe to return.
If I could leave no stars I would. This is by far the worst experience I've ever had at a salon.
I came in for a very simple service, I wanted to get a gloss on my hair to deepen my tone overall. By the end of my apt I was thrown out like a wet dog on the street. I literally left with my hair in a wet, knotted ball and the salons page @rinsesalon & stylist (Stephanie Montano) BLOCKED my personal instagram and business instagram, as well as my girl friend's who referred me here within an hour

of me leaving. I didn't even give any information in regards to my instagram, nor did I follow @rinsesalon or @_beautybystephyy. My girl friend has NOTHING to do with the experience I endured today, and I think it's crazy that the stylist was so upset for no reason at all to not only block me, but to block my FRIEND WHO REFERRED ME!??!
This is the craziest thing I've ever had happen to me and is a very thorough and honest review so please read if you're thinking about booking a service here.
Today I wanted a deeper, richer dark brown gloss. I have faint blonde highlights in my hair, which I was fine keeping, and just toning over them with a dark brown. I'm not an idiot when it comes to hair. My best friend owns a salon where I grew up and she is the one who has always been giving my glosses on my hair my whole life. I wanted a dark brown gloss on my already brown hair. They made something so simple into a very large scene, in front of the entire salon and then exiled me. When I would've been a longterm happy paying customer. I always buy products and tip the service industry very well. The level of customer service was despicable, especially coming from someone who works in the customer service industry and deals with customers on a daily basis.
All I asked for was my hair to be a darker gloss than my natural color and they humiliated me infront of the entire salon. The manager Annie unnecessarily got involved, and escalated the conversation when I spoke up to my stylist about making my hair darker. My stylist immediately ran away.
After trying to ask for my hair to be a darker and getting no where I realized I've wasted half my day, I get up, and leave the salon. I said "I cannot believe you're letting me walk out of here with my hair wet in a knotted ball.”
I left & called the salon to apologize for being aggravated. I truly just wanted my hair done. Annie appreciated me calling back, and said that she was actually going to call me because she could tell I was extremely upset. The conversation ended with her telling me to not come back to the salon. I was in hysterics. I felt completely misunderstood, confused and humiliated.
I was deciding whether or not to write this review for an hour after bawling my eyes out in the car on the phone with my hair stylist friend, and family.
It was when I realized the salon, as well as stylist went out of their way to FIND MY BUSINESS INSTAGRAM, personal instagram and my friends instagram and block us all! That is why I am writing this review today. The unprofessionalism is undeniable. I wonder how many other clients they have exiled and blocked simply from speaking up. The manager must've literally gotten off the phone with me and immediately blocked me on instagram. As someone who owns a small business and prides herself and her team on customer service, I cannot imagine doing this to a customer. With my business, like many businesses - the customer is always right. I will always work to come to a resolution and make sure my customers are 100% happy. There was not one ounce of customer service provided today, only hoops to jump through and straight up disrespect.
That’s actually not too bad… the fees, taxes, surcharges, etc these food delivery services add are CRAZY but I assure you, not scams. People use the services though bc it is convenient, especially with gas prices going up, & for me, it’s often better I order food delivery instead of going out to pickup food as I’ll often end up running other errands & spending EVEN MORE if the money I don’t have. I do find it most odd that we have started this new trend of tipping service provider BEFORE we know

what kind of service they might provide (it’s usually not stellar… orders never quite right, late, cold food, missing items, etc) AND then the app will give us this “reminder” which is more like a warning, IMO, that drivers claim orders with larger tips (duh) faster. It’s ridiculous—isn’t their one & only job TO DELIVER THE FOOD? I always write in my note that the driver can expect a stellar tip for stellar service but not until I’ve received my correct order, on time, etc. I’ve tried most these delivery services & found DoorDash is more apt to provide credits/discounts, possibly full refund for any type of blunder big or small. Sucks that credits mean you go back, but I’ve steadily received so many my average orders are more fairly priced. Just keep an eye on all their promises & be sure your instructions are followed. But get used to those fees & surcharges—those will only increase w gas prices & drivers demands for more 💰 And soon enough we’ll all be ordering crane service to lift our 6lbs obese asses out of our homes because we never do anything but sleep, eat, & work from our dungeon homes. Sad lol
Disadvantages
The website nor the representative informed me of the requirement of credit length / age regarding credit history I was denied because my credit history wasn't long enough in age and nothing paid off in a large amount Beware you can be denied also for these same reasons

I am the first time borrower that I was so worry and wonder if I should trust him or if I can really get the house loan. Fortunately, it was done successfully and it was an easy process with the help from Nelson Paul. To compare the anxiety of worrying about if I can get through it , the time frame of the process was out of my thoughts. It was done pretty fast without any complications. Thanks to the OBmortgage.
After a year with SDAB, I feel obligated to warn others to stay from this business away as long as Simone is still there. Admittedly, our little one enjoyed much of her time there, and made some life-long friendships, but the experience with Simone specifically is not worth it.
The treatment of children is below the standards we expected. Our own child was treated better than others, but when injured the response was lacking. We saw children pulled from classes for vindictive reasons, to get

back at parents. Other guardians were seen as easy targets for strong suggestions of surprising number of private classes - less to help the child and more so to bring in money for the business. Simone claims to be all about the ballet, but she brings a level of salesy behavior that lacks compassion and empathy to this organization. The overall experience suffers for the students and their families. I could not bear it anymore and spoke up, challenging Simone to do better and treat families better, but instead she vindictively told us to go elsewhere - punishing our child like she has and will continue to do to so many others.
I encourage everyone to steer clear of this place as long as Simone remains at SDAB.
Luisa and her sister took great care of our mother. They were very patient and delightful. Always Punctual and Very Hardworking sisters. I would highly recommend them.
I live in San Diego and called ahead to get an idea of the price and services entailed. But after I got there and they had my dog they charged me double the price that they initially told me over the phone and then the next day when I had to pick up my dog and get his medicine then they said it was going to be $100 for two of his prescriptions that were basic antibiotics and a fungal medicine. When they told me on the phone that all the medicine would be included. And I did not bring any more money

so I wasn't even able to get the medicine for my dog. So if you were American do not go here I highly do not recommend it.
