We hosted an anniversary party with friends and business partners, and everyone could not stop talking about the service, quality, flavors, and presentation. Our event space is a bit non traditional, but Sidney and her team thoughtfully figured out the placement for the food and drinks in each room and area. Which made a huge difference in terms of the flow of the event! Sidney was so easy to work with and flexible as headcount and menu had to change constantly. We highly recommend Prep Mule and can't wait to work with Sidney and her team again for future events!

However, his curls were making him hot, and my husband and I agreed that I was time. We'd always said by the time he was four, so...! I finally searched Yelp for curly hair cut, and I landed on PREP. I wanted someone who could do biracial curly hair and someone who was good with kids. I wanted a salon experience for my son's first haircut. PREP had great reviews and Maria was mentioned multiple times. I Googled and found the website, and booking was super easy. The payment was also done online. PREP is located in the Town & Country shopping center, and while the center is busy, it's perfect for a haircut. You can run errands before or after your appointment! Anyway, we entered PREP AT 11:27. I saw reviews that being late was a big no, so we hustled to make sure we did not arrive past 11:30. The salon is clean. They have multiple chairs at at least two shampoo bowls. Our son was a bit hesitant and nervous, so he was shy and started to act up just a bit. Maria had a tablet on deck and that piqued his interest. We talked about the look we wanted to achieve and Maria gave some suggestions. I almost had a heart attack when his ponytail was cut, but I survived! Maria is calm, patient, and easy to work with. She cut his hair and then shampooed, conditioned, and styled his hair. When we asked for a few areas to be fixed, she obliged. I'm super happy with this experience, and I've found our go-to spot. Thank you, Maria!

Steps prep is hands-down the BEST tutoring center for high school classes here in Pleasanton, or…read moreanywhere ever! Unlike other tutoring centers that just want to make money off of you, Kerry and Arick Little truly just have their students' best interest at heart. Whether it's finding the right class for your child, or responding to email problems during the weekend, they just want to make sure that your student succeeds. Sometimes, if they don't have the right class for you, they would even tell you where to go. Arick is a wonderful Math teacher who's taught both my children. He makes the material easy and clear, and sets my children up for success in the stem fields. We're so lucky to have him as a Math coach here at PUSD and the Virtual Academy!

Review is for a cut with Daisy…read more TLDR: Cut was fine but a shorter than we wanted, and the stylist was incredibly rude & had very little patience or understanding. Told my mom chat about the experience and another mom guessed which stylist it was based on having a very similar experience with Daisy in the past. Long version: Took my son to Prep today for his first haircut. His father and I didn't want much cut off, but he had a few very long scraggly strands and a bit of a rat's tail and I didn't trust myself to trim it and get it right. I messaged the salon ahead of time and warned them that he's 21mo, it was his first cut, and that he may be upset & specifically stated I wanted to warn them about that. They said that was fine and offered for us to come a bit early so he could get comfortable. Got there, he was immediately wary but calmed down with the iPad and a cartoon. Great! Told the hairdresser what we wanted and that I really didn't want much cut off at all and my preference was for less than she'd normally do. She said that was fine, and she'd generally take off 1/2 an inch and in some areas she'd cut more since it was his first cut and the length was very uneven. I said great, but I wanted 1/4 inch as the baseline and understood that some strands definitely needed more than that. My son has beautiful big curls/waves and we wanted to keep as much of that as possible. She starts, he's a bit uncomfortable but focuses on the iPad (thank god for screens when you need them) and is generally doing ok. Yay! At one point I tell her I like the length at the back and don't want more trimmed. She moves to sides. Maybe 3-4 mins later she goes back and is taking more off the back and I told her again I didn't want it any shorter again. I didn't say it rudely, raise my voice, or have any sort of mean tone. I just made the request I had clearly stated from the start. She steps back and huffs and says "I can't work like this!" She proceeds to go on a tirade about how she told me she had to even out his hair so it could grow out properly, and kept saying she can't work like this. I assume the "like this" meant with a parent giving her feedback on the cut. Then she proceeds to SOLELY address my husband as if I was crazy & unreasonable and he was the reasonable man who would set me straight. Also added "and on top of it he's a difficult child and he's constantly moving!" Like... yeah duh? He's not even 2? And I even warned the salon he was likely to be upset! I ended up in tears - she made me feel terrible and I basically told her as much and stepped outside to compose myself. I go back in, and she begrudgingly finishes the cut with a terrible attitude, without any apologies, and then leaves in a huff at the end. She ruined our experience of our son's first haircut - and that's something we'll never get back. I was already emotional at the idea of cutting it, and she really made the experience awful. If a children's stylist isn't used to parents being a bit uneasy for a first time cut, getting feedback on length, or a child that moves and isn't happy to be getting a cut - then frankly she isn't in the right role. Also - giving a hair stylist feedback on length is an incredibly common & normal thing to do! The bare minimum she could have done was given us the feedback with a calm and professional attitude and offered to have a different stylist finish the cut. Instead she made a rude scene. I was incredibly upset and gave feedback to the woman at the front desk (who was very kind) who then had the manager come speak to me. She was very apologetic but acted surprised & incredulous that Daisy could have been rude or impatient. That said, when I messaged my mom group who had recommended Prep to me sharing my experience, another mom GUESSED which stylist it was (I hadn't named her) based off of having a very similar experience with her. Clearly this isn't an isolated experience. The same mom told me she has since had great experiences with Kate S.

I am very happy with the results that we got from PrepPoint, and I have recommended this company to…read moremany of my friends. Our kid is an "A student" and a very good writer, but is not one of those super genius kids who gets perfect scores on everything. We wanted our kid to have every advantage available because schools are extremely competitive nowadays, especially the UC's. First, we attended the PrepPoint SAT prep course, which is very reasonably priced and does a great job preparing your kid for the SAT. Our kid thought that it really helped. Then, when it came time for college essays, we hired Eva Holtz directly to help fine-tune the essay. At first my kid didn't like the idea and told us that we were wasting our money. However, by the time the process was finished, it was a different story. Our kid was saying that Eva was a tremendous help, and that the essays wouldn't have been anywhere near as well written without Eva's keen eye and unique perspective. Our kid got accepted into UCLA, UC Davis, and a bunch of other UC's, CSU's and out of state universities. We definitely feel that that every penny we paid for Eva's tutoring was very well spent! We emailed her to tell her the great news and thank her. We have a younger kid who will be a junior in high school next year, and we will hire Eva again without hesitation, starting with her excellent SAT preparation class. There are a lot of companies out there who do SAT prep and college prep. You will be in very good hands with Eva and any of the tutors that she employs. I think it made the difference that helped our kid get into that dream school. We couldn't be happier with the outcome!!!
