I started going to South Shore Driving School a few months ago. I had my driver's license already,…read morebut was looking for a refresher. I hadn't driven for a very long time, and never had the courage to get on the highway...until I worked with Phil. My experience working with Phil could not have been a more excellent one. I saw my confidence in my driving soar quickly as we worked through all the elements of driving that I was insecure about, from lane-changing, to merges, entering/exiting highways, backing into tight spots, and more. Phil's approach is extremely gentle and informative - he has a very high level of patience and he comes with a vast amount of driving knowledge. He instructs and provides tips/tricks in a way that is both easy to understand/remember, and also backed by practical examples and experiences. I've gone to two driving schools previously (1 on Staten Island, 1 in Brooklyn) and Phil is by far the best. Not only is it an incredible value for the money, but he is also the most informative, and extremely professional (prompt arrival time, easy scheduling, respectfulness, good communication, etc.) Thank you Phil for finally getting me to become a comfortable highway driver after many years of fearing it! I would recommend this school to anybody and everybody - from those just starting out, to those like me who needed a refresher. You will not regret it!

I've been visiting Aveda salon for about 10 years now and today was my final visit. Prices have…read moreincreased to the point that it is no longer a deal and the service is absolutely atrocious, both from supervisors and students. Today i went in for a color touch-up, something I had done about 6 times before. A dumpy, stocky, barrel of a woman in red lipstick started screaming me out for not know color codes. And not having a photograph of what was done in the past. What a nsaty attitude and a scream down in the middle of the salon. Reprimanding me about not knowing these are students and I SHOULD KNOW WHAT TO ASK FOR. Excuse me? I am paying $72 dollars for a service. Even if its student, I expect a bare minimum of service for my money. You are not doing clients a favor. Clients are doing you a favor to sit there for 5 hours so your students can make an absolute mess of their hair and then pay $72. Onto the students. The quality of students they have have zero competence. Again a bare minimum is expected when you charge $72. The students are so incompetent that they have no busienss even being students in any area. The school is doing a very poor job recruiting students. Most of the times you leave the insititute worse than you came in. The students dont give a rat's tail what they do. They are too much in a rush to sit and play with their iphones Lastly, they downright destroy your hair. During my blowdry she yanked so much of the hair out. I came out with a splitting headache. And after all this more of a surprise: A service that I expected to pay 50$ for came up to $62 plus 10$ tip. I could' ve gone to a professionals salon for this price. What a horrible experience. (you should've seen what they did to the client sitting next to me.)

It's a hit or miss since it's students that are doing the service under the supervision of trained…read moreinstructors. Be prepared to spend more than you would for a service at a regular salon. They will consult and try to do their best with you. I'd recommend coming here for a simple service nothing complicated. They've since moved to a Brooklyn location much brighter and spacious than their previous SoHo space.
