I've been going to Amanda for ~30 years and I'm ecstatic that she's at this beautiful shop now,…read morethat is even closer to my home. Come to find out recently, that I have 4 mutual friends who also use her as I was commenting on their hair cuts. Amanda has the skill and knowledge of basic AND complex hair coloring, cutting and styling techniques. She's able to fit your haircut to your face and will tell you if a photo, for example, won't work on you, possibly because of your hair type. Amanda has many years of experience and I'd recommend her to anyone. She's also very friendly, speaks English well and accommodates your schedule with ease. On another note, this new salon is beautiful and when I was in there on a Friday at 10 a.m., it was VERY busy.

As soon as I left Mae's studio, I headed out to purchase new makeup that aligned with my Light Summer palette--and what a difference it made! I highly recommend Mae. She's not only talented but also makes the entire process enjoyable and insightful. Highly recommend!!!!

Love this gallery and Ian's photography. We wandered in one day while we were enjoying a mini…read morevacation in La Jolla. Niky, who works in the gallery, greeted us with kindness and professionalism. She is very knowledgeable and showed us around describing many of Ian's pieces. All so beautiful and well executed. And then there it was, the one that took our breath away, so we made a purchase. Throughout the sales and delivery process, Niky stayed in touch to make sure all went smoothly. We recently hung our print, Bucephalus Descends, and it is jaw dropping in the room. What an incredibly special moment for Ian to have captured such an extraordinary occurrence. Your eye is immediately drawn to the picture. It is so amazing, makes it hard not to fixate on it. We absolutely love it! We had a great experience with Niky and the gallery. We plan to go back again to view more of Ian's work and to visit her. She is awesome and the photography is incredible!

We moved cross country and the moving company damaged two large, original oil/acrylic paintings…read morewith 5"x7" holes punched through them! Just made my stomach turn, as they were two of my most cherished paintings. After not being satisfied by another restoration entity that was recommended to me (after 5 minutes they simply said they would patch the holes and they would be 70% satisfactory), I found Sarah Murray online by searching for art restoration experts that were also artists. I found Sarah's website. She came to my house with her resume which was impressive for both restorative work as well as her own artistic endeavors. She took the time to explain in great detail what the options there were for restoring each painting, and that it would be a detailed and time consuming process to do it correctly - and she gave me a a very reasonable quote. It took about four weeks for her to restore both paintings. Plus, she had them reframed at a framing company (all part of the price.) When I picked them up I could not believe my eyes: you could not tell there had been any damage at all. I felt like both paintings now had two, talented artists part of "painting" them. I am forever grateful to Sarah and would recommend that anyone can trust their art in her very experienced and talented hands. With gratitude, Camille
