0 stars, if I could. I had to calm down and pray on this review for months, before I wrote it! In…read moresummary; choosing Monica to design my friend's bridesmaid and flower girl dresses was the worst decision ever made. I would highly discourage anyone from commissioning her for ANY work. Our bride searched for months, and was happy to have found a local dressmaker of color who was perceived to promote beautiful quality work in advertisements, and could customize each dress to each person's needs. I live on the other side of the country and paid up for TWO dresses (mine/flower girl) four months in advance. Monica went from professional to non-responsive, after I paid in full. I showed up four and a half months after paying to come to a "final fitting," and was met with the skeleton of the "lining" of my dress. (She also apparently scheduled multiple group fittings, where folks showed up and she could not produce work.) I was not able to actually walk out of the store with my dress, until THE DAY BEFORE THE WEDDING, and it was amateur; cheap thread that was a completely different color than the dress (and made it look dirty), warped lines and uneven stitching all over the dress! The flower girl dress looked like a "1st sewing class" project. (Poor baby was embarrassed to wear it down the aisle!) Monica took liberties on all the dresses, and was mad when the bride gave feedback about not wanting them. She mixed up the tops and bottoms of the dresses (plus-size girls with size 2 girls.... HOW?!) and one girl had to walk around with a robe to avoid being overexposed (her nipple was literally hanging out). The worst part, is the day of the wedding; we all were busy trying to rig our dresses to fit (sewing girls into the dress, pinning lines, fixing cheap zippers that kept getting caught in the excesses fabric she didn't cut out of the dresses) and were able to provide NONE of the quality attention the bride deserved, when dressing for her wedding. This also made us late for the ceremony! Ironically, our hairdresser for the event heard about what happened, and realized Monica is the SAME designer who butchered a leather jacket they took to her to customize, and refused to refund them, as she refused to do with all of us! Also confirmed that most of the dresses she posts and advertises, are not her work. We got scammed! I'm hoping folks read this and make a better decision than we did. I do wish Monica well, and invite her to consider ridding herself of the high South Street rent, overbooking commissions, and investing instead on improving her craft and ability to do what she says she "knows how" to do. Anything else is fraud and not reflective of a person of integrity. Do better!

I'm so sad. I've had 6 cuts here in the past 2 years. 4 of them were great and one of them was okay…read moreexcept the teachers never came to check me after and I noticed the cut was a bit off. However, this time I went was so horrible. The stylist was timid, and you could tell she was unprepared. She took 25 minutes to wash my hair and it took 45 minutes before she even began cutting. When she was "done" with the initial cut and went to get the teacher the one side was an inch and a half longer than the other. The teacher almost said I was good to go until I said something, and she then fixed it. However, my hair was now 2 inches shorter than originally planned. After that she went to frame my face. The one side was okay because the teacher guided her but the other side, she did a straight blunt cut of my hair from ear to face of another 2 inches. There was no framing just 2 inches gone from a part of my hair. Again, the teacher was going to leave but I mentioned the one side and she tried to fix it but couldn't/didn't. I now have a bad haircut without anything I can do but either cut it shorter or wait for it to grow, and cutting my whole hair means cutting another 2 inches (I asked for 1.5/2 inches total and that would have resulted in 6 inches off). This was also 2 hours, and I didn't even get my hair blow dried yet. This student should not have been allowed to work on humans yet. It was obvious she was not confident to work on my hair and obvious she didn't have the skills to work on a real person. I'm upset the school even let her work on my hair and that a teacher didn't take over as soon as they realized the cut was uneven from the beginning.

Extra shout out to Emily reaching quilting 101, who goes above and beyond to make sure that 6-9pm is still a productive learning time, assigning easy homework we can do independently, and literally offering to lend me a sewing machine for home because I'm so behind. I look forward to taking more of their classes! From bras to jackets, they have weeks-long series as well as one days.

I was even able to bring in my Grandmother's machine and Lara helped me get it set up and recommended a few pieces and tweaks.

I love classes where we get the proper tools and then can create as we please, and her class is perfect for this. I also just took a one-time soft pastel class and love this as well - I've always been intimidated by drawing and this class made me much more confident after just one day. The other students are very fun to chat with as well - everyone is very kind and supportive of each others' creations. I am super impressed with the variety of classes offered here - there are mediums offered that I haven't even heard of. I also want to shoutout the staff for being so responsive and accommodating. I started a class that didn't turn out to be the right fit, and the staff quickly processed a course transfer. I really couldn't be happier here, and the classes have been therapeutic and so much fun. Highly encourage students of all levels to try a class!

If you are considering making a donation to this school I would think twice as they have no manners.

Out of curiosity, I…read moredecided to search Yelp for a spiritual psychic and came across Energy Intuit by Angela Bixby. With a 4.9 out of 5 rating, I felt comfortable giving her a try. After visiting her website, I found it to be well-organized and easy to navigate. I chose the 30-minute spiritual guidance session ($130), and I appreciated that I was able to book a same-day appointment--it was exactly what I needed during such an anxious time. Within a few hours of booking, I received confirmation emails along with the Zoom link, which made the process smooth and reassuring. According to her website, the 30-minute session allows for 5-8 questions, so I took advantage of that by preparing my questions ahead of time since this was my very first spiritual reading. During the session, I asked about my love life as well as some questions regarding relatives who have passed. At times, I provided some clarification to help guide the reading. Later that night, after the session, I received a phone call from my stepdad that ended up reassuring me about my love life in a way that felt very similar to what Angela had shared during the reading, which I found interesting. Angela herself was beautiful, kind, and had a very calming and joyful presence throughout the session. While a few parts of the reading left me questioning, much of what she shared felt accurate--especially regarding situations I'm currently going through and details about my family members. Overall, it was a comforting experience during a time when I truly needed peace and direction. If things truly fall into place in my love life, I'll absolutely be back to update this to a 5 star review.
