  • 5 Star Review by Lisa L.

    I initially reached out to another well known yoga studio in the area. After speaking with the owner, they said they would think about how to best help and would call me back in a few days….over a year+ later I’m still waiting for a return call or a response to other messages I’ve left them. Then I ran across a post with someone as

  • Don't work here

    I accepted a job here last month and decided it wasn't the right fit and left with respect. I was honest and told the manager that and was expecting to receive my paycheck on May first. My paycheck was never sent so I contacted the manager and she told me my info was entered incorrectly and I was sent a paper check and should receive it by Wednesday. I reached out and told her I never received it and was expecting her to compensate me considering I couldn't even pay my rent over this. Nope....they are refusing to pay me for over 50 hours! I was blown off and told it was sent and it wasn't her problem that I haven't received anything. I've contacted the labor board already and also contacted an attorney to see what actions I can take to get what they owe me before I get kicked out for not paying my rent. Don't accept a job offer here....this business is a joke and should be closed down for screwing people over. I did absolutely nothing to deserve this kind of treat

  • Lady going through my laundry.

    I turn around while I'm here tonight and the lady who cleans the place at night is going through the washer touching my laundry. I asked her why and she says that you have to adjust the clothes in the specific washer. Of course she ain't never done this before and I've been here several times. It's fucking ridiculous I gotta tell a 60 plus year old lady to stay out of my stuff. And she's the employee here cleaning. How old is that to just start going for someone else's laundry. She has to know better than that. So sick of rude Americans I could spit on someone.

  • Lack of basic Business Ethics, Poor Customer service - AVOID!

    7/18/25 - Placed Paid Ordered Online for over $1K 7/25/25 - Called and spoke to Nick after no email indicating shipment. He didn't know what was going on and said Mike the owner would get back to me after he spoke to him. 7/25/25 - Got email from Mike with 2 small refunds to ensure transaction was verifiable and not fraudulent. Replied same day validating details. 7/30/25 - No response received via email so called again and spoke to Austin who had no idea on status of order and said Mike would call me back. 7/30/25 - Mike called back shortly thereafter and said email had ended up in spam folder. After a lengthy conversation he said everything was good and would ship out shortly since everything was verified. Later in the day I receive an email saying I had been refunded and the transaction canceled. I received a follow-up email from Mike apologizing saying "Austin Cannot find the items on your ticket. I a refunding you in full for the entire order. I will go to my storehouse this week and look for these items as well as any other cases that I have." As of 8/6 I have not received any other correspondence. Very disappointed with my experience at Dizzy and after reviewing online feedback it seems this kind of situation is a reoccurring event here. Poor customer service, honor and a lack of basic business ethics is saying it mildly.

  • Great Service

    Great staff very knowledgeable and helpful. Korando Allstate is the best agency around! They go above and beyond to assist you with insurance needs. My whole family has switched to Allstate because of her and I had to call for advice and she saved us money and time! If you need good insurance call Korando Allstate!! I highly recommend this agency!!

  • Wonderful Dance Studio!

    My 13 year old daughter started dancing at Turning Pointe Academy of Dance (TPAD) when she was 3. We chose TPAD after researching and trying some other summer dance camps. I felt that TPAD was the best choice because it is a non-competitive environment, the full-time instructors have dance degrees therefore are teaching proper form and technique, and most importantly for our family is the fact that they want little girls to look like little girls. The costumes, performance make-up and choreography are all age-appropriate at TPAD, which is not the case at many other studios. We also love the variety of classes and performance opportunities that TPAD provides, including a wonderful production of The Nutcracker! My daughter has made wonderful friends and grown so much in the nurturing atmosphere at this studio. Highly recommend!
