I had researched various artists but none of them fit the elegant style I was looking for to match our wedding at the Ritz Paris. Chloe did not disappoint. She was communicative and professional throughout and the event went smoothly. Our guests loved the sketches and so did we! In particular, we had two kitties that could not join us at the wedding and Chloe was able to add them into the sketch for us as if they were there, and it was the sweetest and cutest thing! We highly recommend her!

It's a 2nd floor bare bones office with a computer cubby filled exam room. You'll need to lock all your belongings into the lockers out front. (They provide a key.) Showed them my ID and registered. Everyone was super professional. There were others in the room, although they could have been taking any number of exams. All in all, it was very efficient. My only comment was at first the air seemed a bit of an issue, causing my allergies to flare, but they quickly resided. In the end, everything went smoothly... and I passed. Would recommend coming here for an exam, especially if you need to reach the site by subway and require doing your exam on the weekend.

I got ripped off! I…read morebought three little cat statues at $3 each (total $9) and added a tiny Buddha statue located by the register, labeled at $1. My total? $10. Posted sales tax? 8.875%. However, after I handed over my credit card, the sales receipt total was $13.06. I argued the total a few times but the lady argued back, so I just walked out. While the store is conveniently located around the side of the New York New York store on the other corner (adjacent to the Magic Jewelry store), I'd say avoid at all costs. It is large with lots of statues, but I'd be wary of conducting a transaction with a business that isn't very transparent with its customers. Yeah, yeah, it is Chinatown, but this is a heads up. The store front shows it as being titled as Lucky Stone Feng Shui or Lucky Stone, the receipt indicates the actual business operates under the title Magic Fang Shui (address and phone number matches).

We were in a rush, and thought we'd pick something as untraditional as our decision to basically elope. The cute storefront caught our attention, so we went in to explore. The lady working the front counter was helpful, but a tad bossy. Her demeanor was motherly even. It was actually endearing. She helped us with the decision quite quickly. The whole process was 15 minutes tops. The ring I bought was too big so I wear it around my neck on a silver chain, as does my husband. I'll always remember this little store with its wide array of jewelry and nick-knacks. If you're in the market for the such, I highly recommend this establishment.

I've tried some of the exercises I learned from the class and my conversations with people has been better. I've noticed people open up to me easier, and I'm able to understand what is really on people's minds. Just be prepared it is a 3 hour class, so might as well give it a shot.

I was recommend to them by a friend and have kept returning for any of my security needs ever since. Their prices can't be beat. For the amount of service they provide I know if I went somewhere else I'd pay way more. What I also like is how honest and straight forward they are with me. Other places I viewed before them would try to sell me all these useless services for a bunch of money that aren't even necessary for my license or job. The classes are great. The instructor really keeps the class engaged and interesting. It doesn't even seem like hours go by. Like I said this place is legit. They even help you find a job. I'd recommend them to anyone hands down.

Also responding for yelp and not to me directly when I am directly asking her to fix it. She will avoid accountability at all costs. Anything that goes wrong they will blame on you. It's just not worth it. Keep your sanity and peace of mind and hire someone else. I will make sure no one in my 82 unit building uses them and I will make sure everyone in Astoria knows how they treat people. I an beyond disgusted. Upon reaching out, the communication and follow up was excellent. I scheduled a facetime walk through of my apartment, was explained the process and everything covered as well as add-on packages. I was promptly emailed my summary and proposed invoice. I was excited and sent in my deposit to hold my date right away. The day before, I was the one who texted to confirm first because I was so excited. They arrived one hour early which was fine, and they got to work right away. You could tell they were no nonsense professionals just by the way they moved and I was full of joy knowing my apartment was going to be spotless. They told me to leave and come back so I did, all while maintaining communication with the owner over text, responding immediately. She had texted me about a few various things / questions and I replied the same minute as I was just waiting down the block. As they were wrapping up she said "they'll be done in 20 minutes if you want to go take a look" (verbatim). No mention of "how do you want us to lock up" or "can you come back because they can't leave without the door being secured", no mention. The fridge magnet they broke they mentioned though? I get back just as they're downstairs packing up, I go to open my apartment door and they PRESSED THE AUTOLOCK ON MY DOOR WITHOUT ASKING. It is an unspoken rule that you don't touch anyone's autolock!!!! I only use my top lock and the last time I had an issue exactly like this I had to pay a locksmith $300 to get back in. At this point I am panicking because I'm realizing I'm locked out. I call Amal who I was immediately responsive with all day and she proceeded to tell me "that's why I told you to go take a look" and "we can't leave doors unlocked we'll get a lawsuit". Neither of these things make sense "take a look" does not equate with "we're auto-locking the door" and I responded to all her messages the same minute she sent them all day, there's no reason she couldn't have communicated about me needing to be back before they left since they don't have a key. She refused to take responsibility and every minute I spent with her on the phone was time I could be spending finding a locksmith so I hung up on her to find help. I secured a locksmith and sat down in front of my apartment door with my packages and my dog just waiting. Amal proceeded to come to my building with two of her staff to "look at my lock". I thought this meant she was bringing a locksmith but what she was actually doing was coming to confirm that I wasn't lying because as she put it she thought I was "trying to not pay them". Out of this world. I still can't wrap my head around this accusation. Not only did they lock me out of my apartment, waste my time not offering solutions, try to tell me it was all my fault, but they then tried to call me a SCAMMER too. A locksmith finally arrived, I asked him how much it was, and surprise surprise it was $300, same as last time this happened to me. (She also said it wouldn't be $300 because she knows everything at the wise age of 26, including world class customer service and problem solving skills). I documented him having to power drill into my apartment, him telling me how much it was, a screenshot of the receipt for the bill and I sent it all to her along with a venmo payment for the FULL AMOUNT she accused me of not wanting to pay when she came back into my hallway to try to intimidate me with her staff when I was stuck in a horrible situation they created for me due to their poor communication. I finally get into my apartment, and it is spotless, like a dream honestly. They went above and beyond and they worked really hard, for that, I thank the cleaners and was happy to pay the full amount + tip because they honestly deserve it. What angers me most is the lack of accountability from Amal in her lapse of communication and lastly that I came back to my bathroom porcelain sink deeply chipped. I wrote her that I expect her to fix my sink because they damaged it, everything else is whatever at this point. I will clearly (and sadly because the service was very good) never use them again, or refer them to anyone. I've informed everyone about the gross way they treat their customers. Make sure to take a video of your apartment before, as I'm sure if she does respond, she'll try to tell me my sink was already chipped, I'm just waiting for it. The cherry on top of a horrible experience.

Best of the best! Hiring Fresh Cedar has been one of the best decisions I've made! It has improved…read moremy mood to have my apartment in such beautiful tidy condition, and have Fresh Cedar come clean regularly. They are prompt, responsive, and so detail oriented with their cleanings. Their one time deep cleans are out of this world impressive; and when they come regularly to clean my apartment they go above and beyond-- periodically cleaning out cabinets, putting away laundry-- on top of all the other typical cleaning tasks! What I love about working with fresh cedar is typically 2-3 people come to clean my apartment and they each concentrate on different areas. This means the cleaning gets done that much faster! Amal is so communicative and Alba is such a pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend them highly enough!! You won't regret it.

I would not recommend this service for someone with a neurotypical 4 year old child with occasional…read morepoop accidents (the scope of the service I had direct experience with). I believe I could have saved thousands of dollars and considerable stress by just going to a Ped GI specialist. The course of treatment for children who hold in poop too long seems to very often involve use of stimulant laxatives. Samantha is careful to never actually directly tell you to have your kid take medication. However, to me this seemed to me to be more of a legal maneuver to avoid liability as she brings things up in a constant but indirect way which was extremely frustrating to deal with. In our case, the temporary use of laxatives was recommended by the doctor but I would have never imputed what I understood to be her recommendations including use of suppository laxatives after she had pooped multiple times that day from the written instructions from the doctor's office. To be clear these recommendations were ALWAYS made in an indirect way, though in my opinion any reasonable person would understand the intent of her circumlocution. Every time I tried to bring up a reasonable concern or complaint with Samantha, I was referred to the 15 page client agreement and told that I was wrong instead of her actually listening to what I had to say. Speaking to Samantha in my experience was like talking to a lawyer or someone heavily coached by one rather than someone trying to accommodate the unique circumstances and needs of her customers. After two days of having Samantha in my home neither myself, my husband or our nanny felt we could get a straights answer from her about what the long term plan was and none of us actually understood her approach or what we had actually paid for with this service. On day three I decided that my daughter had been messed with enough and that there was no good reason why she should not return to school or why we should ever be using suppository laxatives or laxatives in the quantities she was pushing (indirectly) again. I'm glad I did. She did not need to miss another say of school and we didn't need to keep traumatizing her with so much iatrogenic intervention for another day. In my opinion, I should have been more skeptical of a business that makes everyone sign a non-disparagement agreement and relies on a 15 page legal document to do business. She has really lost sight of her customers wants and needs and is so insistant on her rigid approach that she cannot adapt her method or accommodate any reasonable request. If you break with any part of her very rigid and in my opinion extreme program she will simple say you are wrong and point you to the agreement instead of trying to come up with a modified plan. In retrospect, I should have had a lawyer review the client agreement before engaging them for service. It is publicly available on the website.
