SLR lenses. Classes, large-format and canvas prints, digital and photo labs, photo restoration and video transfers are some of the red-carpet services offered.

Auto Care

For 38 years, Larry's Auto Works has provided the type of auto repair that gives its customers peace of mind, and those customers have voted the body shop best auto repair for 2010. Owner Larry Moore said his customers have told him they keep coming back because of the honest and trustworthy service and that "we don't try to sell them things they don't need."

Chiropractor

Got a crick in your neck? A kink in your spine? A knot in your knee? You may want to follow Weekly readers' advice and head to Health Logic , this year's winning chiropractic clinic. In addition to standard chiropractic adjustments, the doctors at Health Logic also offer nutritional advice and postural analysis. Readers gave Peak Performance the second-place prize.

Day Spa

So your co-star's thrown a temper tantrum, the director's had a nervous breakdown and your agent tells you he wants you to star opposite that guy who played Urkel in "Family Matters." Oh, what is the world coming to? No worries, dear starlet -- Destino Spa knows how to treat you right with massages, organic facials and other luxuries. In short, it's all about you. Just as the world should be.

Dentist

Never mind her acting skills or diction. How is the latest starlet's smile? With the rabid demand in Hollywood for the whitest, straightest teeth, a silver-screen type has to have a stellar dentist. Weekly readers advise visiting the Palo Alto Dental Group , a group of six dentists based on Byron Street. Coming in second place was McKenna Dentistry .

Dry Cleaner

If it's AJ's clean, it's AJ's green. Getting in sync with Palo Alto's environmental sensibility, Chris Choi turned AJ's Quick Clean Center into a green business five years ago, forsaking perchlorethylene as a cleanser in favor of the more earth-friendly liquid silicone. The newer method is odorless and leaves clothes free of static cling, Choi says.

Hall of Fame: First Year

For years, Charleston Cleaners , in a free-standing building at the corner of Middlefield and Charleston roads, has been a neighborhood and city-wide favorite. In the rare case when you have to stand in line with your laundry, there are magazines to read and interesting memorabilia on the walls. And Hershey's chocolate kisses for all.

Fitness Classes

Readers singled out the Palo Alto Family YMCA in this category, and also chose it as Best Gym (see the full write-up there). A close second for Fitness Classes was Poised Fitness .

Frame Shop

OK, so not everyone's headshot leads to a movie role. But University Art has the perfect 8-by-10 frame (or was that 11-by-14?) to enhance any photo. We non-starlets just want a good artistic eye to choose matting (how wide?), frame molding (or not?) and covering (clear glass, frosted glass, Plexiglas?). The flagship store has been located downtown since 1964, drawing its fans from local artists and people who just want to display their art well.

Gym

Getting fit is not just for action heroes like Jet Li and Jason Statham. Everyone deserves a healthy lifestyle, and this year's "Best Of" voters have chosen the Palo Alto Family YMCA as the top place to exercise and stay in shape. The Ross Road YMCA features an array of cardio and weight-training machines, lap and instructional pools, a large basketball court and a colorful "KidZone."

Hair Salon

Every hairdresser has a story at Hair International in Stanford Shopping Center. Owner Pam Decharo runs a bustling, friendly shop, open evenings and weekends with no appointment required. Reflecting her clientele, Decharo's stable of hairdressers is from all over the world. If you're lucky, your stylist might share a Persian recipe or tell you about their story of arriving in America.
