The Best 20 Hair Salons in Fremont, Alameda (part 2)

nadine bernardino I walked in late, just as Tanya was about to close, but she still welcomed me with kindness and even offered me tea. With my long hair, I knew it would be a lot of work, but she took the time and effort to make sure everything was perfect. Not only is she incredibly skilled, but she’s also a wonderful person. She made sure her expertise shone through in both her work and our conversation. I’ve had layered cuts my whole life, but this was, without a doubt, the BEST one I’ve ever had. I posted it on social media, and everyone loved it! This was truly one of my best salon experiences. I only get my hair cut once a year btw! Thank you Tanya!

Davina Love OK so I found this salon by doing a little research and impulse I really wanted a haircut it’s been probably 6+ years since I’ve actually went to a salon for a haircut when I tell you from the beginning to the end of my experience was absolutely amazing. I can’t express the connection From the phone call, there’s an actual person who answers the phone which nowadays you don’t get you get a voicemail you leave a message and they return your call but to call and have somebody actually answer. The phone is amazing we did a Consultation over the phone just asking me what my hair is like how much I wanna cut a little bit about what I’m looking for the plan was to try to get as soon as possible Tanya, Happened to have a cancellation at the end of the day and she gave me the appointment right for talking to her I felt like it was a good match. She’s so Easy to talk to the shop is really cute just had good vibes all around . The haircut so it’s been a long time since I had my haircut I had an envision of what I wanted and when I share with you guys that every single detail I explained and wanted my hair to look like that’s exactly how it came out in our heads we get these ideas and it’s so hard to share them with another person and have them create this In real life and that’s exactly what she did my hair came out perfect. She didn’t rush she took her time. She explained how to use certain products she explained to me what she was doing. My hair is super long so I was nervous because I love my long hair and I didn’t want to lose the length and I felt like I didn’t get a cup but I got the best cut Sense it’s still so long and beautiful and she just brought it back. Thank you so much Sonja for giving me such a wonderful wonderful experience. I already referred two friends and I will continue to do so on anyone that compliments my hair

Nancy Tobesman - GlobalWomenPower Great place to get hair conditioned for frizzy hair too. Tanya is great here She has great products to keep curly hair moist and great tips on hair care.

Jessie Tang This is such a nice place to have your hair done. Parvin helped me with my haircut, she’s very nice and friendly; she made sure that all my needs were well communicated and I was very satisfied with the outcome. I told her I’ll definitely come back again once I’m ready for a BIG change ;)

Laura Loe I love my hair! Tanya is fabulous. She has transformed my hair from ground zero to an astonishingly healthy long and silky mane. Color is beautiful. The salon is cozy and welcoming. An interesting and effortless conversationalist, no small matter if sitting for two hours. Pricey, but worth it. f

Enzo Aida, my new hairstylist, is the best! I’ve never had such a great haircut and color. She made me feel young and pretty again. I love my new style! Thank you, Aida❤️

Chic Irene Fernàndez Stephanie C. is the stylist I’ve been following for 6 1/2 years now. She’s a very thorough and skilled stylist. I recommend her often.

christina lanier Everyone at this salon is so incredibly talented and kind. The stylists here truly go out of their way to make you feel like the best version of yourself by the time youre leaving. Super cute salon. Absolutely amazing products.

Janelle Hopkins Visual Image Salon has transferred ownership. The previous owner retired. I got no notice as a client but I was able to schedule an appointment online for 11/3 with a stylist I have used for years. I arrived at my appointment time ready for a haircut after 8 months of sheltering in place and salons being closed, but it was under construction. I am contributing photos of the new name and website Salon V. I. The woman I met said it is still a Bumble and Bumble salon.

Michelle Abad Ive been going here for years. It use to be called Visual Image Salon but the women who worked here now own it and they are still banging out some great hair. Alicia W. does fabulous work. When you find someone that gets you & your hair you never let them go. The stylist here are extremely professional and the atmosphere is very inviting.

Junita Joseph Very professional, same time very flexible and accommodating. I have been bringing my boys as well for the last 10+ year ! Carolyn and Kaitlyn are amazing !

Gerardo Estrada Very nice staff, stylists do a very good job giving you what you want.

Sibrina Subedar I love this place as the owner does all the cuts herself. She really knows her stuff. She is generous with hints to make ongoing hair management simple.

WillPage32 Carlina and the team always do an awesome job. Could not recommend more highly

Venkatram V Very prompt for appointments, and great style

Arlene Kadrich Kelli is a wonderful stylist. She listens and makes sure she understands what you are looking for. She is personable and friendly, gets you in and out in good time. I also appreciate that she texts me to remind me about my appointments.

John Prior Stellas is still an awesome salon to get a haircut. Its clean, friendly, and in a great location...old town Niles where once Charlie Caplain worked. March 29 2023

Katherine Rubie I was introduced to Stelas Hair Salon through a local ad from a stylist needing to practice various types of haircuts. Stela of course carefully oversaw the haircut and provided tips and instructions to that stylist. I walked out with a haircut that was long overdue, and was exceptionally good! Im definitely going back for my future cutting needs! Edit: Ive returned a little over a month later and received a 2nd haircut. I am still happy. The staff there are very friendly and do take their time to make sure you are happy. I do recommend calling ahead for an appointment however as they are very popular and walk-ins are difficult to get. Second Edit: Ive had my third haircut now and Stela did it this time. I am still very pleased! What you need to keep in mind however is that they are cash only. They are not equipped to take credit cards. So make sure you bring enough cash with you to cover the cost of your work, plus a good tip!

Asilla Akbarzadeh Sabrina is the best. I was looking for someone professional to do a full highlight for me. And I could not trust anyone except Sabrina. She took her time and literally worked 7hrs on my hair. She is definitely someone who I can trust and will definitely go back. She is worth every penny. I recommend this place and her 100%.

Arpita Das I got a haircut from Sosan. She was very sweet and took good care of my hair. I have a curly hair and she did an awesome job with the haircut.

N K Dont bother. Sosan gave me a terrible haircut 6 months ago. She shredded the tips of my hair in the name of thinning them and my hair are still recovering from the damage. They look like an odd, unevenly chopped and shredded version of my former fuller hair. The length of my hair is ruined till I grow out new hair which can take upto a year, if not longer. Normally I dont give bad reviews to small businesses but this one deserved to be written. Dont waste your money.

Karma Bliss I am always nervous when I go somewhere new. After reading the reviews about how she is experienced in cutting long hair, I decided to go. I wasnt let down. She did an amazing job. I love the way she cut my hair. Its true that she listens to what you are saying. She is very confident in her work. If you have long hair, I recommend going here.

Tim Felix Love this place! I go all the time for a clean cut and dye. Unfortunately, they’re a little short staffed at the moment (March 2022) but honestly it’s well worth the wait.

Ricardo Salas Customer service is always amazing and very helpful. They do both men and women style haircuts. Very honest price for the the amazing work they do. Would recommend to anyone.

Swathy Smily I booked an appointment for hair color our and I’m so happy with my hair color and the hair trim. The service is very clean, neat and good!! Claudia did a very good job and i loved my hair after the hair color.

Viktoriia Vel Marta, the owner of this salon, is really kind, creative and just a nice lady. Looking forward to coming back in 4 weeks to dye my hair again.

Roberto Narvaez The ladies here are really nice, but let me tell you they do an excellent work You will not be disappointed with your haircut. And you dont have to make an appointment just walk in.

Xel-Ha Alvarado This is the second time coming in and I love my hair! I got layers and curtain bangs this time and Vanessa knew exactly what to. She’s super knowledgeable and knows exactly what she’s doing. She has really great availability and is so sweet a friendly. The salon is super clean and decorated so beautifully. And I love that they always offer refreshments and even mimosas (I always get the guava mimosa).

Jenae Seropian Amazing work by Monica. I have thick curly hair and she is able to add great dimension and color. It is also a great atmosphere. Champagne is also served to add some relaxation. I will continue to travel an hour just to see Monica at Crush.

Adriana Santillan I have my hair done by Monica & she is a hair magician! Whether Im going for a brighter look or getting adventurous with bangs, she always takes my musts into account...lived in look, wispy ends, blended layers. I always love the dimension shes able to achieve and styling always has me leaving the salon feeling like a new gal.

Vera Ive been going to Monica J. for 4 years and it has been the BEST experience ever!! Amazing is not enough to describe Monica J., she is a magician. My hair has never looked better. The color blending is astounding. I came in with over processed, brassy hair. Monica corrected my color and helped guide me through the process to get my hair back to healthy. She introduced me to extensions and I cant imagine life without them. I am always getting compliments on my hair! Monica J is always so sweet and a great vibe, provides excellent service. Everyone in the salon is always very welcoming. So YES, I highly recommend Crush Salon especially Monica J!

Shirley Paulson Rosa is a highly skilled stylist. She is creative, pays close attention to detail, and really listens to what you want. She is such a pleasure to work with! I have been getting my hair done by Rosa for a while now, and always leave very pleased with my haircut. Rosa is extremely reliable and is always on time for her appointments. I appreciate that Rosa makes suggestions for tweaks to my haircut, so I don’t have the “same old” cut. Frankly, I leave the salon looking amazing! Her prices are reasonable, so it’s a really good value for my money!

Tatiana M Rosa have been doing my hair for 19 years, then for my 2 daughters. She is very thoughtful and a true artist. She has an impeccable taste. My hair are very sensitive, and she always makes me look like a celebrity. If I could, I would give her many times more stars.

shakib hasan akand Shoaib Rosa is a amazing hairstylist in Fremont CA. She has 20 years experience in her profession. Great job Rosa.

Brian Saberi This place is fabulous. After trying other peoples recommendations for three years, I finally landed upon a new stage hair salon that met my needs. Rosa did a good job and i definetly recommend this definitively.

Shelley Wills-Gildelatorre Rosa has been tending to my hair for over 20 years. Im always very pleased with her work. I especially like that when she suggests that I try a new style, its always the perfect one for me.

Iron Suite 15. Johnny is a great hair stylist. You can also get your nails done perfectly by Melody! Two services at one spot. Reservation is required.

C R Professional and clean! Excellent individual service! I have my facial done by Nancy at suite#14.

JT Mo Had my haircut by a stylist here about a month ago and Im sorely disappointed with the outcome. I thought the haircut would "settle" after a few weeks, but Im still seeing just how rushed and shoddy the execution was. The stylist didnt wash my hair before or after, and thinned my hair excessively and unevenly. She did not take the time to layer the cut properly. I asked for a long layered cut, which Ive had for years and received at other salons and see the care and time thats put into it and how its sectioned. Its a cut that comes out as quick and easy for me to maintain. Now I have to add clips, pins, or product to hold all the uneven bits in place. Given the cost of the haircut, (over $70$) I would say it was not worth the money. The stylist was trying to get my appointment over with so she could start her next client.

Kim Burchfield Beautiful new Salon by Home Goods! Joel Generosa has been doing my hair for over 2 years. Very thorough & knowledgeable!!

Claudia Macias Went for my touch up after getting my eyebrows microbladed If I could give more stars I would Nicole Cueto @Beauty Bar is the best if you want natural beautiful brows I would highly recommend Nicole

Marilou Gonzales I have been a customer of Rudy since around 2007. When I moved to Southern California I still would get my hair done by Rudy when I was in town. Rudy is such a wonderful hairstylist, comedian.. human being. I would recommend him to everyone! Excellent service, excellent service, wonderful conversation, prime location! I always leave Rudys salon with beautiful hair and feeling absolutely wonderful!!

Tina Medina Pitts My first time EVER leaving the salon totally in love with not only the cut and color but the way he styled it.. the other AWSOME thing is his prices! I recommend him to everyone i know..Thank you Rudy..you are a diamond in the rough.

Nicole Moore Ive been coming to Rudy for 20 years (Im 24) so thats got to say something. Ive never had a bad experience with him EVER!! Literally the only person I trust with my hair. He does an amazing job every time.

Delia Castro I have been going to Rudys for more than 30 years. He always does a great hair cut.

Elise Leon I had a horrible experience with Rudy. I was recommended by a fellow coworker to try him to get highlights. When I went in, I explained what I wanted. Very simple, just natural highlights, not too thick, and with no orange hint to them. He left me with bright orange hair. I had to go to the store to pick up a hair dye kit to fix the disaster of a hair he left me with. I should have noticed the first sign that it was going to be bad when he refused to show me MY hair before he was finished. The worst hair experience of my life. He damaged and ruined my hair.

Ja Seng Roi Love my experience there!! I went there to get a fresh cut as my hair ends are dry and dead. I also wanted bob cut with curtain bangs and Sarah did her best to fulfill my wish. Love the result and definitely going there again!!

Simrun Sakhrani I have been going to this Salon for over 12 yrs now. Sarah the owner of the salon is truly wonderful, I love the decor which is just beautiful. I have been seeing my stylist Sandy. She does a fabulous job with my hair and manages to always make me look 10yrs younger. Sandy is not just an artist when it comes to hair but is genuinely a wonderful person. I look forward to hair appointments each time. All my family and most of my friends see Sandy as well. I wholeheartedly recommend Vintage styles.

Sarah Llanes Sandee does mine and my moms hair and she did a great job! I recently started seeing her and my mom has been seeing her for the last year I believe. I love the cut she gave me, it wasn’t too drastic and it’s perfect to give it structure for easy styling. My mom always looks fabulous with the colors Sandee does for her, I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family ❤️

Aditi Kagalkar Can’t remember who my stylist was exactly, but they did a great job. I came in with a few pictures not sure what I needed, and they helped explain what I could do to achieve my look. I ended up doing a balayage and the price was very reasonable compared to most places. I’ve since been complimented by other salons for how well it was blended into my natural hair color at my roots. Would love to come back again.

Edna G This salon was recommended by my daughter who had her hair done here before. I am now a fan and love Marys work! Location has plenty of parking. It was easy to make an appt with Mary through Yelp and text. When I first got here, I was greeted with a warm smile.Friendly staff. Nice salon decor. Very welcoming. I was able to request a suggestion on how to correct my hair color without a complaint or put down. I welcomed her suggestions, and the color correction the first time and haircut turned out great! My hair was in pretty bad shape when I first met her. The retouch and haircut for the second time I came was great as well. I loved how my hair turned out especially, the color. For great work, expect you will be here a maybe three hours and empty pockets but its worth it. Haha Patience for great result. Beauty will cost you but youre worth it, right?! Definitely recommend Mary. I will be back again!!

Tamanna Malhotra I got a subtle Balayage done by Mary, and I absolutely love it! I’m very picky when it comes to hair and was nervous to get another balayage after the last salon messed up my hair and bleached it entirely. Mary was so understanding and took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered just that. She has a lot of experience doing balayages, so I trusted her with my hair completely and I was not disappointed with the end result.

Jennifer Alves My son has a lot of hair!! When we needed him to handsome and "Picture Ready" for prom we went and saw Charlie. He did an excellent job, cutting, styling, and giving helpful hints on how to keep him looking good in the days to come. We will be back.

Reefa Mobeen Fazia hooked me up. She told me the color that would best suit me and how to best maintain it. She even cut my dead ends leaving the final results looking amazing. She did a great job, Im in love with my mommy makeover!!

Michelle Nguyen I’ve been coming to Rehab Parlour since 2015. Their old location was on Grimmer and now they relocated to Thronton Ave. My wonderful stylist name Anh-Thy she is very professional and does an amazing job. I am still coming to her for my hair and she is skill with color. Thank you for always making my hair therapy a fantastic one.

Nikita Rimland I have been coming to Rehab Parlour since 2016.The staff is polite and professional. AnhThy is my stylist and she is kind and talented. She cuts and colors my hair exactly to my preferences. While she sticks to my usual cut and style, she also suggests new things to try with my hair. Anhthy is unmatched when it comes to hair color. I love my hair and it is all thanks to her. I cannot recommend this salon enough.

JW Wang Anh Thy does a very good with my hair. It makes me look professional and the best part is I don’t need to spend time on it. The haircut stays neat always. She has a way to cut my hair to follow its natural tendency so my hair can “behave” itself. I am so glad to find such a wonderful stylist.

ken whitley First time coming to Rehab Parlour and not the last! I didn’t have an appointment booked and the salon was fairly busy as expected, but Sarah immediately approached me and welcomed me in. Her station was thoroughly sanitized, organized and professional! I wasn’t quite sure what to do with my hair and wanted something different. She happily squeezed me in for a men’s haircut, talked with me through different style options and gave me recommendations. Sarah made me feel very comfortable which made this an enjoyable experience. I’d definitely recommend coming in and checking it out. Most friendly and professional establishment I’ve had experience at.

Kate I can’t say enough great things about Sarah at Rehab Parlour! After my longtime stylist left the area, I spent years bouncing from stylist to stylist, never quite finding the right fit - until I met Sarah. She’s been doing my hair for a couple of years now and I couldn’t be happier Not only is Sarah an incredibly talented stylist who always gets my cut and color just right, but she also has the rare gift making you feel completely ease in her chair. She’s my go-to salon chair therapist, and our conversations are just as therapeutic as the amazing work she does on my hair. Whether I need a style refresh or just someone to listen, Sarah always delivers. Thank you, Sarah, for being so fantastic at what you do! Rehab Parlour is lucky to have you. Highly recommend!

Emery B. Ive been getting my hair done by Candice ever since I was 12. Shes always done an amazing job. I always get so many compliments on my hair. Ive done many different styles and colors and I love them all. The salon is wonderful. Its clean and well decorated and the staff are super friendly. Theyre all super considerate and patient.

Kathy Laidlaw I have curly hair and Andy does a spectacular job in cutting my hair. I also love the Oribe product line they offer. Great salon!

ishita raje Abbie is my favorite, she listens to you and makes sure you are happy with the service. Coming to her since 2019, and never left unhappy.

Shreya Ramani Abbie is an amazing stylist. I have been going to her for three years and she always does a proper cut and blow it every time. She listens to what I want for my hair and takes it and styles in an an very appealing way with great creative control for my wavy hair. I recommend Abbie!

Anna Chin Johnny gives a lot of attention and patience to study customers hair condition, and style preference etc. This is my first visit, Ill give him a 5 start.

Erin S. Tried to make appointment and no one answered the phone

John F. Hernandez Excellent service and fine precision businessmans haircut

Yaleyanah She is always great with my hair and has a reasonable price! She is very professional with a clean environment and I will definitely be doing my hair again with Fatima.

William Lyons I travel for work and get my hair washed and braided every month at different places. This was my first time coming to Fatima. She gave me one of the most amazing wash and dry experiences of my life! Very thorough with the wash and a refreshing steam treatment too. When she braided my hair, I barely felt it. No more new stylist for me. Im a lifer.

indigo rose Fatima always does a beautiful job on my hair. I had crochet, single braids and a weave installed. Always courtesy, sweet and very professional. Its been 5+ years and I will always be a loyal customer.

Tina S Ive had such excellent experiences with Fatima. She always does a lovely job with my hair and I can see how much healthier it is now. Ive came here for silk press and braiding services and she is consistently professional. Love that her salon is one person at a time, meaning you know she is focused on your hair only during your appointment. Super skilled braider and a beautiful person too. Thank you, Fatima!!!

Stephanie R Excellent work and service as always. People always compliment my braids or silk press. Fatima has been taking care of my hair for nearly 4 years and helped me transition from very damaged relaxed hair to healthly natural hair (that is now over 12 inches). Cant thank her enough!

Phil Yu Very accommodating, attentive, and professional. Quality fade by Michael. Changed midway from a mid fade to a zero fade, and he continued without hesitation. He put a lot of effort in the small details like lining up, blowdrying, gelling, and combing. I wouldnt hesitate to return.

Eileen Rabuy It’s pretty cool and clean place to have a haircut! Very clean place and chair and equipments are first class! Michael and staff are superb and very professional. Highly recommended.

Frank Sanchez First time there, and first time having my hair cut by Michael as well. He did a great job, with good attention to details as well. Place is nice and clean too. Price was $20 for my simple haircut, but maybe more expensive depending on the service you ask for though. I advise you to book your slot online, as its easy and worked flawlessly. Had an appointment for 4pm. I arrived at 3:55pm and was called around 4:10pm. So, not too bad. Will definitely come back there again.

Vicky Joy An abomination of a hair dresser!!! The absolute worst experience at a hair salon!!! This person, Danny, was super late, has no idea how to even comb long hair. He yanked the ends of my hair so bad, my scap hurt,... and the end result looked like my hair looks after waking up. I feel cheated from my money and time. First pic is the mockery this person did w my hair, including the unevenends.... the sec9nd one is an actual PROFESSIONAL curly blow dry for 40 bucks in Prundale few months ago.... Suggestion: if you dont know how to do certain hair styles, just dont and be honest about it instead of cheating ppl out of money doing this! Or learn your craft. Even a 5th grader know how to untagle long hair without pulling half out!!!! Super outraged. Do not recommend it for woman at all!!

Dhan Bautista Justin was great. I was looking for a regular barber to go to after having just moved to Fremont. I told him I was looking to grow the top out and wanted a low taper fade on the sides. He looked at the picture I brought for what I wanted my hair to look like in the future and he showed me how to style it towards what I wanted and what to do with it during the awkward hair length phase where it’s too long for what I used to get and too short currently for what I want in the future. Will be coming back again as a regular.

RONZKIE23 Newly Re opened salon in fremont Everything is Brand new, clean and organized. Staff are friendly and very caring. They’ve been in business since 1997 but due to fire and covid they closed and now they’re back I just tried basic services like shampoo and blow dry, manicure & pedicure

Anahita Dadnam Every since they reopened every other weekend I am at my happy place getting pampered. I have been coming this salon since 2004 and they always given me an excellent service and prices are very reasonable. If you want to be pampered at a reasonable this is your place. Come and fall in love with the services they provide as well as the staff...

Joyce Lam This salon is so nice and clean and big! Everyone was very nice. We got pedicures and we enjoyed it. The girls also got hair cuts and they are happy with it. The haircuts were quick and reasonably priced.

Paul Zugnoni Really happy with their new location. Bright and airy, well decorated, clean, and a lot of the same great staff are back! Most of all, my favorite stylist is back at this location and has the front station on her days. Best haircut for the last 15 years.

Kamesh Mamidipudi This is just another salon that you cannot trust. After getting a service from the same stylist many times before, I went in today but she was not there and I was attended to by someone else. Now they say the price is $10 higher and that my stylist was not charging correctly! When I said “This is not right and I will not come back”, the woman simply said “ok, thank you”! A customer walking away dissatisfied means nothing to them. I am sick of these unreliable shops! Just when I thought I finally had a good thing going. Save yourself such headaches and take your business elsewhere.

Linda Le I’m new to this salon and seeing Kim (

Brittany De Leon Always a great cut for my long layers no one can get it like Kim. I travel 2 hours to get here and wont let anyone else touch my hair.

Geia Branzuela I recently visited Excellent Salon in Newark, California, for a hair color correction, and unfortunately, my experience was far from excellent. My appointment was scheduled for 9 AM, and while I was attended to promptly as the first customer of the day, things quickly took a turn for the worse. Initially, there were two ladies helping me, but after an hour, one of them left to assist a new customer who had just walked in. Over the next hour, the remaining stylist began multitasking, answering phone calls, and not focusing on my hair. This lack of attention continued throughout the entire process. With my hair already in the process of being dyed, she informed me that the color was not lifting yet and that I would have to wait. She then proceeded to assist another new customer, leaving me unattended for about 30 minutes. This pattern of neglect continued, with her running back and forth between me and other customers. Despite originally quoting me an 8-hour appointment, the entire process ended up taking almost 14 hours because of her constant distractions and failure to focus on my hair. By the end of the day, I was exhausted and frustrated, being the first customer in and the last one out. To make matters worse, my hair was extremely dried out and damaged the next morning, and the color did not turn out as expected or as she had promised. The stylist texted me the next morning to apologize for rushing me out and admitted that she was not happy with the outcome of my hair. She offered to make it better with a new appointment, but the damage is already done, and I am not willing to spend another whole day there. To top it all off, the service cost me almost $700, which makes this experience even more unacceptable. Overall, my experience at Excellent Salon was disappointing. The lack of focus and care from the stylist resulted in a prolonged and damaging experience, and I am left with hair that is far from what I was promised.

C Lee Kim and the staff are amazing here! I now only come to Kim for my hair needs. She makes me feel like a whole new person after each session. Kim is super talented and has a keen eye for what works for your look. I can completely let her take control and get the look I adore. You definitely want to book in advance because they book up fast. I’m so glad they are open with limited capacity and taking great measure such as taking temperature checks before entering, make you sign a waiver, only 2-3 customers at a time, everyone wearing masks, sanitizing the seats and equipments after each customer, plastic dividers, socially distanced, etc.

Uzma Choudhery My happy Place to go and get my hair done. Have been going there since 15 years. Kim and Kelly work on your hair with great attention to detail. Kayla is also very nice. Its a nice , neat and friendly place to relax !
