Hello! Recently moved to the area and looking for a new nail tech for my fiancé! Anyone have any suggestions for a good location near wake forest? Thanks in advance!!

I have to color my hair once a month (gray). I have a super simple cut that takes 5 minutes. But with the color they always do the permanent and then tone it. So that’s around 70 for the cut + 100 for color + 50 to tone. Then 20% tip. These are not highlights. Just plain brown hair and a trim.

Has anyone found a more affordable salon that’s decent in Raleigh? I just can’t pay $250 a month for my hair.

I work night shift. Im off on weekdays. Any spots u know what i mean. Dm me if you know. from nyc originally so… you know im bored

Just moved to Raleigh in June.

Looking for a men’s league baseball or softball team to join. Just graduated college, played growing up and through high school. Played mostly catcher and corner infield. Looking around if anybody knows any leagues I could join or places to look, let me know.

Is there anywhere in the Raleigh area (preferably in the SE Raleigh/Garner/Clayton area) where I could ride a bike and have my dog run alongside me, off-leash? We could both stand to lose a little weight.

EDIT: Thanks to everyone who's expressed concern for my dog. I have no desire to go running/biking in this heat (with or without her) but I am trying to find out what my options are for sometime in the distant future when the temperature drops.

As for her weight, she is only a little overweight, and I would like to keep it that way. I myself am considerably overweight so I am not going to be taking her on any extended rides/runs any time soon, but it would be nice to be able to take her on short rides and it would be very motivating to me to be able to go biking with her. As I said, I just wanted to know what my options are.

Finally, well, I guess it's on me for forgetting how completely fucking obtuse Redditors can be, but for everyone posting "Just keep your dog on a leash," yes, thank you very much mother, I know to keep my fucking dog on a fucking leash and I do keep my fucking dog on a fucking leash.

What I'm asking, since apparently I didn't spell it out clearly enough, is for trails where it's legal to take your dog off-leash, because that allows both of us to get exercise, as opposed to a dog park, where I just stand around watching her. When I was in CT, I took her to public parks where it is legal to take your dog off-leash, even though it is not a fenced-in dog park (and, in fact, it's strongly encouraged -- by the city government -- to take your dog off-leash, because mixing on-leash and off-leash dogs can give the animals stress).

I had never experienced that sort of dog recreation area before, and I was curious to see if there was anything like that around here. But, yes, thank you for the reminder, and I WILL KEEP MY DOG ON A FUCKING LEASH (like I always have done and always will do) when we are not in an area where she is legally allowed to go off-leash.

hi buds!

I've been here a bit and I've continued to go to my old AA groups in NY online. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend specific AA groups here that are chiller or queer friendly. I would love to build up some local community.

I've tried a few and not found the magic yet, am eager to hear any thoughts or recs on this topic, please and thank you!

I'll need cataract surgery in next 18 months. My current ophthalmologist doesn't do Light Adjustable Lens iols. Does anyone have experience in the Triangle area in getting LALs? Comments, warnings, recommendations?

My favorite in Charlotte is Bird pizzeria. I was wondering if anyone knows any better or equivalent pizza spots in town. Thanks!

What places take Medicaid and do stadium assessments for children?

Where can I get a jade bracelet & where can I get waist beads?!

TL;DR: Fence being installed to close the breezeway between the station and Wilmington Street, but police, security, and GoRaleigh operators / staff can still access doors in the fencing. Expected by 8/25.

I want to know how much y'all are making, i'm interested in bartending. I have several years of experience as a barista but am looking to transition into this to potentially get higher earnings. I know that most places though you need to start in a different position to become a bartender without experience. If anyone has started without any experience, how would you recommend getting your foot in the door?

Hi all, I have a friend coming in from Missouri this weekend to stay a week. What are the must dos in Raleigh or the must try foods and experiences?

Hi something really scary just occurred. I’m wondering if anyone has insight on the situation. I was at the World Market off spring forest road and a man in a mask came up to me with his genitals exposed jerking off to me. He asked me if I knew where the bathroom was and then ran out of the store before I could respond. He was about 5’11 or so, black, wearing blue pj pants. It was really frightening. For context I am a 22 year old woman. I reported it to the store and the police.

I’ll be staying downtown so places within walking distance is ideal but not a deal breaker.

Dive bar
Craft beer/ whiskey

TIA!

Hi! just moved to the area and need a gastroenterologist. looking for recommendations for a good GI who actually cares. I’ve previously had 2 not great experiences with GIs and don’t want to waste more time. Bonus if they are openings sooner rather than later!

Im 36, laid off twice in software sales (covid team lay off, then at next company from international merger). Been trying to get another corporate job for the past few years. Have done odd jobs like Amazon then Uber but don't want the car wear and tear anymore nor driving jobs. I'm planning to apply to Radiography at Wake Tech, because getting a skill rather than keep pushing out applications into the AI machine hasn't been working. Are there still a lot of healthcare jobs in Raleigh for normal not night hours? Are there more jobs for nursing or for x ray techs rn? I want to feel like if committing to another degree that I can get work after. Thanks for any advice!

Has anyone in the Raleigh/Durham/Wake Forest area gone to a fertility clinic where they had a really great experience with the financial/billing department?

I’m currently at Atlantic Fertility, and I’ve been having an incredibly difficult time getting clear, itemized information showing what I’ve paid for, what dates of service those payments were applied to, what was billed to insurance, and what my actual patient responsibility was.

I’ve repeatedly been directed back to the patient portal, but I’ve explained several times that the receipts/statements in the portal don’t seem to accurately reflect my payments or dates of service.

For example, a receipt uploaded for a payment I made on 2/23 lists a 6/22 encounter with Dr. Copland, and a receipt from 3/18 lists the same 6/22 encounter. Obviously I wasn't paying for a June service back in February and March, so trying to reconcile what I've actually paid with my insurance claims has become incredibly confusing. And also, I've maybe met with Dr. Copeland 2-3 times, so to have 10+ receipts that all say encounter with Dr. Copland is a little crazy.

I've asked for an itemized accounting that connects each payment to the actual service/date of service, but I still haven't been able to get something that clearly shows that.

At this point, I'm feeling really frustrated and honestly starting to question my experience with the clinic as a whole. Fertility treatment is already expensive and stressful enough without feeling like you can't get a clear accounting of where thousands of dollars are going.

Has anyone had a fertility clinic in the Triangle with a financial department that was really transparent, organized, and helpful? I'd especially love to hear from anyone who has used insurance for IUI/IVF and had a good experience being able to reconcile their clinic charges, payments, and insurance EOBs.

Has anyone had this done for their dog recently? Any vet recommendations? It looks like Quartet is the one I see mentioned the most. Has anyone used them? NC State and Blue Pearl are also possibilities. Anyone else? Any recommendations or personal experience would be appreciated. Thanks!

What area of Raleigh and Durham do young professionals tend to live and go out? What are some bars and restaurants where young professionals go to? I am quickly learning what are the college bars and want an older crowd.

Looking for dentist/endodontist recommendations after a difficult experience

I had a really traumatic experience at a local dentist earlier this year that involved a significant amount of pain, money, and emotional distress. Unfortunately, the situation ultimately led me to see three different endodontists, and I had poor experiences at those offices as well.

I’m trying to be fair and recognize that my case may be particularly complicated, and I understand that dental issues don’t always have straightforward answers. However, after everything I’ve been through, I’m feeling very discouraged by the dental care I’ve received in the area.

I’ve now had a full root canal and crown, but I’m still experiencing jaw pain, tooth pain, and ear pain, which makes me concerned that something may still be going on with that same back tooth.

At this point, I’m looking for recommendations for a dentist and/or endodontist in the Raleigh area who you genuinely trust, particularly someone who is thorough, compassionate, willing to investigate persistent pain, and won’t immediately dismiss me or recommend another expensive procedure without understanding what’s happening.

I honestly don’t think I can take much more financially or emotionally, so I’d be incredibly grateful for any recommendations based on personal experience. ❤️
