I started going to South Shore Driving School a few months ago. I had my driver's license already,…read morebut was looking for a refresher. I hadn't driven for a very long time, and never had the courage to get on the highway...until I worked with Phil. My experience working with Phil could not have been a more excellent one. I saw my confidence in my driving soar quickly as we worked through all the elements of driving that I was insecure about, from lane-changing, to merges, entering/exiting highways, backing into tight spots, and more. Phil's approach is extremely gentle and informative - he has a very high level of patience and he comes with a vast amount of driving knowledge. He instructs and provides tips/tricks in a way that is both easy to understand/remember, and also backed by practical examples and experiences. I've gone to two driving schools previously (1 on Staten Island, 1 in Brooklyn) and Phil is by far the best. Not only is it an incredible value for the money, but he is also the most informative, and extremely professional (prompt arrival time, easy scheduling, respectfulness, good communication, etc.) Thank you Phil for finally getting me to become a comfortable highway driver after many years of fearing it! I would recommend this school to anybody and everybody - from those just starting out, to those like me who needed a refresher. You will not regret it!

Looking for a place to get a blowout? And no, boys, I mean a hair blow-dry--get your minds out of…read morethe gutter! AVEDA Institute is a great spot. It's a training school, so you'll have students doing your hair, and while they're working toward their certification, they're not compensated beyond tips--so remember to tip! They offer hairstyling, color treatments, and even facials, which are fantastic. Just be mindful of which level student you book with--since they're still learning, it can take a bit longer, and it might not be perfect, but it's great for simple services like blowouts (aka blow-drys). The students are super sweet, eager to please, and honestly do a great job. For a blow-dry, I paid around $25-30 with a tip, which is such a steal compared to what you'd normally pay in NYC. I've also had facials done there and they were wonderful--just ask for more experienced students when booking if you're nervous about that. I highly recommend AVEDA for a mini spa day that won't break the bank. It's not a Groupon deal--it's actually half the price of regular salons and spas in the city!

I've been visiting Aveda salon for about 10 years now and today was my final visit. Prices have…read moreincreased to the point that it is no longer a deal and the service is absolutely atrocious, both from supervisors and students. Today i went in for a color touch-up, something I had done about 6 times before. A dumpy, stocky, barrel of a woman in red lipstick started screaming me out for not know color codes. And not having a photograph of what was done in the past. What a nsaty attitude and a scream down in the middle of the salon. Reprimanding me about not knowing these are students and I SHOULD KNOW WHAT TO ASK FOR. Excuse me? I am paying $72 dollars for a service. Even if its student, I expect a bare minimum of service for my money. You are not doing clients a favor. Clients are doing you a favor to sit there for 5 hours so your students can make an absolute mess of their hair and then pay $72. Onto the students. The quality of students they have have zero competence. Again a bare minimum is expected when you charge $72. The students are so incompetent that they have no busienss even being students in any area. The school is doing a very poor job recruiting students. Most of the times you leave the insititute worse than you came in. The students dont give a rat's tail what they do. They are too much in a rush to sit and play with their iphones Lastly, they downright destroy your hair. During my blowdry she yanked so much of the hair out. I came out with a splitting headache. And after all this more of a surprise: A service that I expected to pay 50$ for came up to $62 plus 10$ tip. I could' ve gone to a professionals salon for this price. What a horrible experience. (you should've seen what they did to the client sitting next to me.)
