A holiday special took services from $275 normally to $200 with holiday discount. Before I received services, I was advised of a contract I needed to sign that I now realize basically Protected THEM as a business to not take any blame for their actions. TWO hours were set aside for services and One of their eyelash certified techs took about an hour to do BOTH eyes. She advised me that Xtreme lashes can only be applied to a REAL eyelash. What i expected and what i left out walking with was a very big disappointment as the first thing i noticed was my friends didnt even really notice my lashes. that is VERY upsetting when you spend $200! Two days later, I went to another store to purchase an oil free mascara to really try to bring out the work that i was already dissatisfied about. This store does use a different brand but their initial and fills ended up being much cheaper LONG Term than First impressions. I have now booked a brand new set with them that I am anticipating as she commented that even she could notice in the before and after pics that Their eyelash tech no way touched EVERY lash, that she herself takes MINIMAL 1 hour on EACH eye. Was not mad at her about that at all as being a perfectoinist in that field isnt a bad thing. That company SUGGESTED I call First Impressions to see if they would like to assist in refunding partial or even give gift certificates for OTHER services. Mind you when I came to first impressions, i was very impressed a whole! salon is clean and welcoming! Just was not happy with my lashes. the look i have feels like i could get it with mascara alone! I had called and talked to a receptionist who was VERY understanding and may i add at the end of our call "all these reasons are definitely evident and agreeable "and would have the owner call me the next morning. The owner and I played phone tag before we touched base and first words out her mouth were "I only have a little bit of time. I have someone else processing their color." All i can say to sum up our convo was RUDE, Unprofessional, and the COMPLETE opposite of the receptionist! Took no blame for her stylists and said i was wrong. i had to remind her the customer is always right. In general my experience with this salon is a D-F rating! the last color and cut i got the stylist cut my bangs wayyyyyyyy too short and her excuse was "she was in a rush; she had another client waiting" AREA YOU SERIOUS?! sooooo you mess up MY hair because you're in a rush to get to your next client. That stylist KNEW i was VERY upset about my bangs and apologized profusely. I'm sure anyone can tell by my tone and context I'm very angry! ive dished half a grand into this salon for The salon owner to treat me like I'm less than a paying customer! i REALLY loved how she kept saying "i cant believe another place of business would speak down upon us. that is very unprofessional" I kindly let her know my first instinct was going to be to write a review on Angie's list but took advice of others to try to resolve in house. That is when The salon owner replied "she wasnt aware of my bangs and would review all this with her stylists" Its really funny how she was so no refund at all to let her review. I had to write this because as a manager/owner I feel if a customer is right, they are right! and the fact her receptionist agreed with me does not exactly help her case. I think the most appauling comment she made was "i believe you got what you paid for and at this point i feel you are just trying to get your money back for services that were done correctly" she was quite upset i didnt come to her to try to get my lashes redone. but why would I?! I was missing 5 lashes my first day and like 5 fell out when i was picking out mascara. I am looking forward to a BRAND new full set somewhere else when i JUST got my lashes done less than a week ago for $200! and the girl could practically comb them out today! At this point I am being threatened by the store owner and her lawyer for writing the truth on angies list but sometimes, the truth hurts.

Mike and Erin obviously love animals and we are happy to have found such a great place. They've got an online reservation system that is great to use. They're hours are very open. They're prices are very reasonable. They bathe our dogs before pick-up if we ask (no charge). They're conveniently located to us. They live next door to the kennel so there is always someone nearby. They've done a lot to improve their facility (expansion, pool, etc). All in all, it's the best kennel we've used in the area. We were a little worried our first time with the open play theme (all dogs are free to play pretty much) and we have a dog-aggressive female but Mike assured me they would be fine and later said they had no issues (nor have they had any in our time there). Bottom line, I'll continue to take my dogs there and I would not hesitate to recommend them. My only beef is they fill up fast around holiday times but that is a testament to their loyal customers.

Scheduled ETA was 3 pm and he arrived around 5:30. Once he arrived at our house though, everything went very well. My AC unit had stopped working the night before, and this was on a day in the mid-90's, before a holiday weekend. The Tech (Josh) realized we also had company that day and that we would all be very uncomfortable if the unit was not fixed. Despite being the beginning of a holiday weekend and the fact that the job became much more complicated than originally thought, Josh stayed well into the night to finish the job. First he had to replace the motor, which stopped working due to some sand or sediment that got into the bearings. A suitable replacement unit was not in standard stock in his work vehicle, so he had to travel to the part supplier warehouse, after hours, and make special arrangements to get the needed motor. Installation of the motor took several hours due to the poor serviceability of the design of the unit. Once the motor was replaced, the unit still did not work correctly. After even more diagnostic work, he discovered that the struggling motor had also shorted out the electronic control board. At this point it was around 9 pm and Josh kept working. To get a replacement Josh needed to place a special order, which would not be able to happen that late on a Friday night. However, Josh went the extra mile and temporarily wired the electronics of the unit to allow it to run and cool down the house (around 90 degrees at this time) for our family and guests over the weekend. He promptly followed up early the following week to install the replacement control board and correct the wiring. The cost of the repairs was not cheap due to cost of parts, but despite the above extraordinary efforts, Josh did not charge us for the full amount of labor hours worked. He clearly explained the charges and payment was quick and easy. THEN, one week later, the unit began leaking water onto the carpet of our finished basement due to a clog in the humidifier plumbing. Josh again came out and was very punctual, and fixed the issue in around 90 minutes. Because Josh and his supervisor knew how much I had spent on the previous repair, they did not charge me anything for this service visit, despite the fact that this issue was basically independent of the first issue that they came to fix! My compliments and sincere thanks to Josh and Adams Heating and Cooling for going the extra mile to make sure our family and guests were comfortable in our home.

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts
While it’s a somewhat common method for hanging Christmas lights, using a staple gun is not safe for your roof. Poking any kind of hole can potentially damage your roof and expose it to the elements, whether it’s from nails or a staple gun. Shingle tabs are the best way to hang lights on your roof without the damage.
There aren’t many alternative methods to hanging Christmas lights on fascia without using clips. But if you don’t have fascia clips to hang your Christmas lights, you can use clothespins in a pinch. To do this, hold the strand of lights in place and clip it in place with the clothespin. Using nails or staples is never a good idea, as they can damage your fascia.
Yes, homeowners can undertake holiday lighting installations by ensuring safety precautions. Using proper tools, following safety guidelines for electrical connections, and carefully planning the layout can make DIY projects fulfilling and manageable.
Typically, the most expensive type of Christmas tree is either the Douglas fir or the fraser fir. That being said, lots of different factors can affect what you’ll pay for a Christmas tree including supply and demand, size of the tree, and more. Your best bet is to speak with a pro at your local Christmas tree farm to find the best tree for you.
Yes, you can plug outdoor lights into an extension cord, but it must be one rated for outdoor use. This method will allow you to hang Christmas lights outside your house or yard by connecting it to an outdoor power source. Be sure to purchase and use an outdoor-only extension cord.
