Finding local businesses
Since I moved to Tehachapi from the Bay Area, I’ve had a hard time finding local businesses. I’m so used to getting all of my information from the internet, so if a business doesn’t have a website, and doesn’t advertise online, I have a hard time finding it. Right now, I’m looking for a good hair salon, and trying to find a restaurants that deliver, besides pizza places. Anyone have some suggestions? 49 comments from 17 users

LOL. Oh bummer. Guess I've been spoiled... Could this really be the only town in America that doesn't have a Chinese restaurant that delivers??? posted by

Catnic - I get my hair done at Secrets on Mill St. Sue is amazing with color and Kathy is great for all your skin care needs. Good luck with the delivery. Most places here I just get take-out. Everyone lives so far away from all the restauarants I don't think its affordable for them to attempt to deliver. posted by

Thanks! I'll have to pick up a menu. I lived in the City too. Out in the Parkside district a few blocks from Stern Grove. I had a Mexican, Japanese, Potuguese/Chinese, Italian, and Thai Noodle restaurants and a coffee house in walking distance from my old place. And my old roommate was a chef, so I got very spoiled. posted by

My mother works at Expressions salon in Olde Town. It is off of Valley Blvd and Bryan Way. Her name is Dale, but she may not have many openings since she just got back from vacations. posted by

Sorry Cat but We don't even have a fast food Chinese Restaurant.....I wish....I wish....I wish...... The Great wall is alright ( If I truly want an excellent Chinese dinner I have to go down the hill) but they need to change up the menu once in a while I have been here 6 years and they still have the same buffet items since I have moved here. I would say delivery is a luxury in Tehachapi. I think there are more hair salons here than there are residents, and the good stylists are booked for months at a time which leaves the newbies so....I too am still looking for someone consistent. I don't like to make appointments in advance I mean a week is OK but not 6-8, when my hair needs to be cut; it needs to be cut; and unfortunately it won't grow on a schedule. So I have learned to go with out my weekly Chinese fix and my hair looks like it looks because I wouldn't change Tehachapi to fit my old city lifestyle, I like the small town and if driving to Bakes is what I have to do to eat at PF Chang's so be it. posted by

OOOHHH catnic, you are so right! I lived on the top flat, on the corner of Haight/ Masonic. Right above The Holey Bagel !! Spoiled is an understatement, for sure. We still have the memories, North Beach was my favorite, I'm kidding my-self, I miss everything! I have a friend that's going up for a few days, & asked me for some POI, got any? Ha Ha, well, you know what I mean. If you haven't already, check out The Chamber of Commerce, next to Taco Samich, they have some good stuff in there, for you to check out. posted by

as much as i like panda express it doesnt even compare to the many styles of local resturants in san fran that catnic is used to, i remember staying up there for 2 weeks and everyday with in a 2 block radius you can have a different style of food. yes i understand the spoils of sanfran hheheheh. but tehachapi has grown in the last couple years, OMG a dell taco. yummmm nacho fries!!!!! posted by

As much as I miss the food in SF, some of things I don't miss are the traffic, crazy street people, getting mugged, parking tickets and the insane cost of living. posted by

Yasobich, research came up w/ a statistic,years ago, that it would take something like 3 yrs., going to a different rest. every day, in order to hit them all. My problem was I had too many favorite places! I agree w/ you on Panda, I was responding to catz comment, I haven't tried Del Taco, although I stopped in @ The Wine & Cheese Cellar, & picked up a Caresse Pizza to go, OMG, what a treat for Tehachapi!!! Ditto, Catnic!!!! posted by
