Alan Williams Salon

5.0

By Tom58

I have followed Alan through three different shops over more than a decade, and now my teenage son goes to him too. I agree with all of the other accolades and wanted to add that Alan's present shop - which is also his first solo gig - is the best yet. This is an excellent salon for men who ordinarily would not go to a "salon." ...read more

By Trinkets

I had a groupon for a haircut here. I got an appointment for 7pm which was fine because I was at work until then. When I came into the salon, it was the most relaxing experience. They start by massaging your head! This is also the first hair salon I've been to where washing and brushing my hair was not an unpleasant experience. They were very gentle and effective. I will definitely go again! ...read more

I recently went to Alan Williams Salon in Walnut Creek and had my hair colored and cut & highlighted. My hair looks great, all gray is gone and I have a beautiful brown color with caramel highlights. Alan is very professional, an educator and keeps up to date with what’s new. I love the cut that Alan gave me; it is shoulder length with a little flip and even if I go a little longer in getting my hair cut the shape is still good. I also have a little thinning on the top of my head and he is a master at giving volume where there is none. I highly recommended him to any of my friends. He has a great looking salon, he’s very personable, and it is always a treat to get my hair done. ...read more

I highly recommend getting your hair cut from Alan in his Walnut creek location. The salon has a great atmosphere, and is the perfect size. I don't like going to large salons that are loud and impersonal so this one is fantastic :) I usually get my hair cut and colored every 3 months and have never had bad results. I have very thick, curly, unmanageable hair. He does a great job at making it look thinner, smoother, and healthy. Recently Alan had recommended that I get the keratin smoothing treatment to decrease the frizz and time it took to get ready for the day. The price was reasonable and the results were amazing! In the past I has tried other straighteners and this one is by far the best my hair is so smooth and silky, the volume is still there. Before it took me a whole hour to flat iron, now it only takes 15 minutes!!!! I will go back and do it again in 3 months and even after that! ...read more

Changes Salon & Day Spa

4.0

By MichaelP at spafinder.com

I had a few treatments at this spa, a pedi, brow waxing and shellac mani. I was extremely happy with the service as well as the staff that performed it. Now the ladies behind the desk left something to be desired for. They were clearly either unhappy to be there or just plain rude and snotty. Either way I could hav the done without their attitude. So when I say the staff was great, I mean the ones that actually do the work. ...read more

By Walnut Creek at Citysearch

I have been going here for approximately 2 years and I just can't take it anymore, as it has gone completely down hill! I agree with the girl below. They are only trying to make a quick buck. If you want to be rush out, treated like you don't matter then go here. The people that work here seem miserable with their job or life, I don't know what it is. But I am WILLING to pay top dollar and STILL DO NOT get the service I request! ...read more

By TCC11 at Citysearch

I am a big fan of body wraps at the Spa. That is until Miracullum. I was put in a room that was about as appealing as a hospital room... no relaxing aroma therapy, no classic deep heat, no soothing soft light and spiritual music. It's ok... if you like to be wrapped in plastic wrap and left in a room to count the dots on the ceiling. Pretty much a waste of money and time. ...read more

Advanced Cosmetic Surgery Clinic: William Jervis, MD

5.0

By Dree at Citysearch

I have known and worked with this office for many years. Dr. Jervis is an excellent surgeon and his results speak for themselves. After having botox injected by a different doctor I had a surprised look or drooping eyes until I had Dr. Jervis do my injections. The results were shocking in comparison. It looks very natural and I am happy with the results always. He knew exactly where to inject and how much to get the desired result. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is well respected in the community and his results speak for themselves. Don't shop Dr.'s just go here. ...read more

Advanced Cosmetic Surgery Clinic: William Jervis, MD

By LadyDiM at Citysearch

When I first decided to have cosmetic surgery the first thing I did was Google " Top Ten Board certified plastic in the SF Bay Area." Dr. Jervis' name was on that list along with other respected surgeons. I called his office and requested more information, as I did with the other doctors on that list. What made Dr. Jervis stand out is his extensive medical back ground. Then I met him and his personality set him apart from the others doctors I had seen for consultation. From the moment I stepped into his office I felt very comfortable. His staff is very friendly and down to earth real women. They make everyone feel special. I never felt pressured to make a decision and I was encouraged to do my homework on Dr. Jervis and the liposuction procedure I was seeking. They gave me more then enough information on the procedure to make a educated choice. They also provided me with payment options if I needed them. The most important thing to me is I feel very confident with Dr. Jervis' skill. He has been in the business for so long he knows what works and doesn't work. He doesn't try to sell you on anything you don't need or want. I trust Dr. Jervis with my needs as well as the needs of my family. He removed a very large mole from my young niece's chin and you have to look hard to see the scar. As she grows up you will not be able to tell a mole was ever there. He is also a very generous man. He donates his skills for La Familia, an organization that sends doctors to places like Guatemala and the Philippines to perform cosmetic surgeries for people in need of procedures like cleft lips, facial reconstructions and such. I love the services I receive from Dr. Jervis and his staff. I have had liposuction surgery, laser hair removal (I recommend it to anyone who is tired of shaving you will love it!) and Botox. My results have been amazing and I will go to Dr. Jervis until the day he retires. I recommend Dr. Jervis to anyone who wants quality services with excellent results! ...read more

Where can I begin with this review??? Dr. Jervis has been the artist and I have been his canvas!!! I heard about Dr. J about 5 years ago from my nail technician. She stated that he was THE PLASTIC surgeon to see for a breast augmentation. I had been considering an augmentation following the birth of my fourth child (last one in the litter). I had been doing qute a bit of research and was shopping around to find "the best" and "most reputable" plastic surgeon in the Bay Area. We actually visited 3-4 doctors, including Dr. J prior to making our final decision with Dr. Jervis. We liked is real, bedside manner. He met with me on the very first day and didn't impersonally sit me in front of video. He made the initial contact! I appreciated his concern about my medical history too and my issues with local anesthetic. He didn't come across as "showy" with an overdone office, or that he was in the business JUST because it's glamorous. His history is proven as the facts indicate. He has written medical papers in medical journals and has taught other surgeons in the business. He has been the recipient of my industry and business awards for his practice in Plastic Surgery. Dr. J has had documentaries made about him as an expert in the business for TV. THOSE credentials SPOKE to me. I didn't want to pick a surgeon who had only been in the industry a short time. I wanted expertise. When I selected this doctor, he had done over 2000 augmentations. THAT was a number that impressed me, as it gave me the comfort that this plastic surgeon had seen and done it all. I felt that he was equipped with so many experiences, that his knowledge was sound and proven. SINCE that time, I have had a subsequent augmentation because I made the COMMON error of going too small. Dr. J listened to my concerns and didn't judge my decisions. He gave me his professional opinion and then we made a mutual decision on what was the best choice for my body. He arranged to have my first augmentation performed at the hospital, to ensure my safety. I liked that competencey. He didn't know how I would respond to the anesthetic, so to be safe, we went into the OR at John Muir. I have since had all of my other procedures performed in his Surgi-center and it's worked out fine. I was very comfortable and my husband and gf were both made to feel welcomed. I TRUST Dr. Jervis and his opinion. I love the services that he offers. I have had my spider viens take care of, I have had permanent hair removal from multiple places (yeah no shaving!), I have had brown age spots removed from my face and chest, I have had a laser resurfacing done to my face to help counter wrinkles, I have regular Botox and Juviderm injections for my wrinkles and lips. Most recently, I JUST had Slim Lipo to tighten up some loose skin from a baby belly! What ALL of this adds up to is a body that is now well-maintained. I have been able to slow the aging process down and keep myself in shape, via Dr. J's work, a good diet and regular exercise such as Pilates/Yoga. This has ALL made me feel so much more confident, to the point now where I could even say SENSUAL at 39!!! I operate a nightlife website and I SHOCK people when I tell them I am a mom of 4 boys! Dr. Jervis has been TRULY an integral part of me developing my confident performance image. He accomodates my schedule and his staff feel like FAMILY to me now! I luvvvvvvvv them all. I can't say ENOUGH about Dr. William Jervis and his plastic surgery practice. My ONLY fear is that when the time comes for Dr. J to retire, there will be VERY big shoes to fill in my eyes. I want to grow OLD beautifully, with the help of my Dr.J!!!! Respectfully submitted by Dana Yates (aka FETTY BE) ...read more

Toner Benefits

Toners are an essential element for skincare that many people overlook. After you wash your face with a cleanser, a toner should be applied to get rid of any extra oils and traces of dirt. Cleansers tend to remove a protective lipid coat of the skin but toners build back up that protective coat and help restore the skin̢۪s proper pH balance. Acne prone skin obtains the most benefit as toners work to reduce pore size and refresh the skin. Toner should be applied immediately after cleansing the face every morning and night, followed by a serum, moisturizer, eye cream, and sunscreen. You will notice a significant change in your skin after applying toner as it will be much more hydrated and better prepared for the penetration of other products in your skincare regimen. Ask your esthetician which toner is best for your skin. ...read more

For Younger Looking Hands

Throughout our entire lives, our hands have played a large role in everything we do. From building sand castles as kids on the beach, writing and typing long essays in college, washing dishes at our newly purchased homes, taking care of our children, and everything in between, our hands demonstrate a lot about who we are and our past. Many of us don’t pay much attention to the conditions of our hands but they are just as important as the skin on our faces, necks, and chest. The hands tend to be the most visible and age telling parts of our bodies. Keeping our hands hydrated and spot free with Miracullum’s skincare products will result in younger, healthier hands. Clear & Bright Serum contains an enzyme that controls the production of melanin, thus lightening the skin. It is designed to help with pigmentation, melasma, age spots, and scars.* Pure C Mixing Crystals can also be applied to the hands, preferably mixed in with a moisturizer. Its miracle ingredient is 100% ascorbic acid (a form of Vitamin C), that works effectively to fade away post acne discoloration, sun spots, and age spots.* Our Triple C Serum is one of our most popular products and can also be applied to the hands! It is an antioxidant that strengthens collagen production, assists in lightening, and smooths the texture of the skin.* We also recommend using our Retinolic Serum* at night to keep your hands looking young in the day!

Pure C Mixing Crystals

The human body does not produce Vitamin C, a cofactor for an enzyme crucial in synthesis of collagen for our skin. We must obtain it from our diet, supplements, and topical products. Our skin is vulnerable to Vitamin C deficiency because it is utilized first for other bodily functions, and very little is actually transported to the skin through the capillaries. When you pick at your acne, the skin over produces melanocytes that leave behind those pesky acne marks. Pure C Mixing Crystal’s miracle ingredient is 100% ascorbic acid (a form of Vitamin C), that effectively works to fade away post acne discoloration, sun spots, and age spots.*  It can be mixed with toners, cleansers, and moisturizers. Mixing with a moisturizer is recommended for sensitive skin. Within a few days of use, all age spots, sun spots, and acne marks will be less noticeable and skin will be soft and have a more even skin tone. ...read more
