Chase is a fantastic stylist. The salon is well designed, custom and interesting. If you like, they have champagne in the cooler. A very cool vibe. This salon is the Santa Monica equivalent of the Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills. High end, highly fashionable and luxurious.

This bank has that friendly small town feel. People know your name and treat you very well. I have received calls directly from the managers when they needed to notify me about strange activity on my account.

The best gym in Santa Monica if you really want to get in awesome shape. The equipment at the gym is second to none. The physical trainers have masters degrees.

Best Cell Phone reception in Los Angeles. The customer service is generally very good. This is a different company from Verizon landline and internet, a company that is not on this list.

Drug Town
Great pharmacy. They fill your prescriptions in minutes and know your name. So much better than the lame chain pharmacies that take hours to fill a simple order. They will also mail you your medicine if you ask.

Classicuts
This place has nicked our dog several times. We have stopped taking Harry here because of this. Tender Loving Care (featured on this page) is now where we like to take him. Although some people still like Classicuts and it's close by if you live near Montana Avenue. Many people have had good experiences here.

Brown's Cleaners
A high-end and very expensive dry cleaners. However, you can take your most precious items here and they will clean them with care. Custom suits, wedding gowns, things like this. It's the way you wish a dry cleaners was. Unfortunately, I can't always afford the prices.

This place is fantastic. We were out of dog food one day and the woman who runs the store stopped by and dropped off a large bag of dog food in front of our home after her long workday. That's great service in my book.
They also have a lot of healthy treats, food, and plenty of toys. They've been in business for a while even as other dog stores have come and gone on Montana Avenue.
