“My husband and I attended a special event hosted by Sweet Tooth Gems and Grillz. When we arrived, we received a warm welcome and cool refreshments from Shana, the owner. She did a thorough job of explaining the tooth whitening process and gave us a good idea of what to expect during and after the service. I saw other customers walk away with gorgeous tooth gems and they couldn't stop smiling. We even recieved awesome goodie bags on our way out. Shana is really experienced and knowledgeable in her field. I'm a satisfied customer and I would definitely recommend this business to others.”
“Pavé is just amazing and Pepper, one of their designers, is an absolute dream to work with! I had the opportunity to recreate new pieces using both my mother's and grandmother's wedding ring stones. Pepper was able to take my spotty ideas and create two separate necklaces that are perfect for me and something my grandmother and mother would be so happy with! She honored all three of us with her patience, thoroughness, thoughtfulness and care. I am so happy with the end results! Huge thanks to Pepper and Pavé!”
“I haven’t felt a warm vibe in every shop on Piedmont and vintage stores can be kind of snobby sometimes but I’m happy to say that that frigidaire environment has NOT been my experience at Sunshine Prophecy. The vibe is super warm and inviting; There is ALWAYS good music playing; The employees there are always very patient with any of my (often MANY haha) questions; — AND I’ve never felt pressure to buy anything if I wasn’t ready. — That is especially important to me bc in order to budget I purposely do LONG leads on items I’m interested in. I might stop in once or twice and ask questions/do price checks before I finally treat myself and they always treat me like a paid customer. Clothes, jewelry, purses are cute. LOVE their witchy candles, herbs, and TAROT CARDS. It seems like the owner of this store had more of a “creative calling ” then just a bottom line in starting this business.”
“I bought two rings and Wily and Grace are the kindest sellers and dedicated to their work. They also cleaned and fixed a ring that I had. They do all kinds of jobs. I'm leaving very happy. Thank you Wily and Grace.”
“Sam, was outstanding to work with and answered all my back to back questions regarding my Rolex purchase. I will definitely be back to buy more ???? It’s the highline ??”
“SIYA is a gem! This place isn’t comparable to any other Indian clothes shopping experience I’ve had. Found out about them from a family member who always has the best outfits. It’s my go to spot now. Their selection is fantastic, offering a wide range of high-quality options for all occasions. The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and Sonu is super helpful—both really go out of their way to style you for the events you're shopping for. I was able to get several outfits for my brother's wedding and my best friend's wedding within a day, and every piece was unique and beautiful. They even tailored everything, and the fit was perfect. One blouse needed to be fixed again and they were so kind and quick about it. They truly care that their clients are well taken care of. The prices reflect the quality you’re getting—well worth it! I also found gorgeous matching jewelry to complete my looks that the owner hand selected and was patient while I figured out what I liked best. My husband got three outfits and couldn’t be more excited to have high-quality Indian clothes, from a hassle free, fast, and easy shopping experience. Highly recommend SIYA for anyone looking for stunning Indian fashion with top-notch service!”
“The craftsmanship of my pieces are truly amazing, Quality is A1.. I appreciated the professional and artistic approach and friendly customer service . Looking forward to doing business here again.”
“Seamless process getting nose piercing done. Was in and out in probably five minutes. Will be back for any follow-ups necessary in the coming months or anything else. Thanks!”
“Just went in there to get my husband’s ring resized and they got it done immediately since we were short on time. The customer experience is STERLING to say the least and I found both the products and services to be, quite literally, gold!”

“Our experience at Zebra was great. Daniel helped us select the right hoop choice for my son’s nose piercing and was very patient with our many questions. Becka was very patient and gentle with the piercing change. The whole experience was easy, we will definitely be back!”
“Got my daughter’s ears pierced, quick process. The lady that helped us told her step by step what she was doing so I loved that. Made my daughter feel really comfortable. Also let us know how to take care of them for the next couple of weeks. Really recommend coming here! Thank you so much! Will definitely be back.”
“Donald and Michelle were very easy and nice to work with. I came froom JC pennys and they were no help. I will most definitely be coming back for their customer service.”
“I brought it in along with the wedding band and they set the diamond beautifully, fused the rings together with a bridge and resized it for a price that was way under what I expected.
Great experience and we won’t have to go anywhere else for our jewelry needs.
Shoutout to Angie, she was really great!”
“We love Yan and we love Lireille! Yan was so lovely to work with from day one - she is knowledgeable, patient, humorous and has a knack for understanding your vision completely (even if you're still working through the details)! She also helped us with many culturally relevant considerations that we deeply appreciated. Designing our custom engagement rings, one of which we used an heirloom jewel for, was such a straightforward and simple process and we could not be more happy with the results. Go with Lireille, you won't regret it!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had a great experience at KAY Jewelers in Southland Mall thanks to Clarissa! She was kind, friendly, and super patient as we looked through multiple bands. We’ll definitely be back for more and will share our experience with others.
Thanks, Clarrisa”
“A wonderful community space. Kind and empathetic practitioners who value wellbeing over profit. A sitting space that doesn’t require purchase to utilize. Activities that inspire community without asking money. I’m a big fan.”
“This location is now closed was a super fair place to come to I go to a new location now 1904 foothill blvd Oakland Ca they just opened up but they are super fair on prices as well!! Gonna miss this place tho”
“What a great experience at Bead Inspirations. I have been putting off repairing my earrings for weeks and maybe months. I made it to Bead inspirations and Jesse and the team were so helpful with suggestions and repairs needed all very affordable and with great customer service and feat repair. Thank you for fixing my local artisan earrings for continued wear!”
“Beautiful selection of plants and other happiness inducing items! The owner/curator is very helpful with information and how-tos. Stopped in by chance, and it's now a favorited location.”

“Diana has been really helpful and fair every time I come in - been here for my daughter wife and sisters and mothers gifts over the years, definitely recommend her and the team”
“Cute whimsical store that features a lot of curated and locally made clothing, jewelry, and home items. Every 2 weekends or so, they also setup outside kiosks along the front of their store. You'll find a lot of anime-related gifts and also Renaissance fair or DND styled clothing and capes. Prices are more on the high side, but you'd be supporting local artists.”
“I learned about Rotem Cohen (LifeForce Appraisals) from his YELP reviews. I reached out to him to have heirloom jewelry appraised, and I was extremely satisfied with the entire process. Because of this initial experience, I contacted Rotem again about some gold and silver pieces I wanted to sell. The process was quick and easy, AND I received fair prices for each piece. Rotem is extremely knowledgable, communicative, and efficient. His rates are reasonable, and he's just a great person to work with. I found him to be a fabulous resource and will be recommending him to family and friends.”
“I have been patronizing Ebony Beauty Supply for many years! Owner Michelle and her staff are very professional, nice, caring, and knowledgeable about all products they sell!
I highly recommend this beauty supply store for all your hair and beauty needs!”
“The colors, smells and textures were so exciting to my senses. I wanted to bring home so many things that I don’t need. I am going to remember this as a perfect place for gift giving. All of the things I would love to own!”
“Amazing expertise and service. I brought jewelry and coins from an estate. They spent so much time on valuing the stuff and gave excellent advice for free. Then they gave $ for the stuff I wanted to sell on the spot. I got them to value stuff I didn't want to sell too, for free. What a great, easy experience. I trust them, super local business. Highly recommend.”
“What a fun store. It’s been years since I visited & it’s just as wonderful as I remember. Amazing amount of diverse & unique merchandise with wonderful sales ladies. I hope to return for more goodies soon.”
“Very reasonable prices and the inventory is varied and extensive. If you just starting out on your crystal journey this an exciting place to start.I appreciate the large amount of "raw" crystals on stock. Friendly staff very accommodating.”
“Went in to get my vintage Baccarat necklace repaired and the owner fixed it perfectly! He was also very nice and explained how I could fix it myself in the future. Very happy with the experience and would come back in the future for any jewelry needs.”
