This review is for Valila Chauffeur Services, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 01 Mar 2011

I have used Valila Chauffeur Services and Millo for corporate and private transfers to and from the airport on multiple occasions. I often use hire cars here and in other states, and Millo and his car are THE BEST. He is a lovely quietly spoken gentleman, who is ALWAYS early for pick ups, keeps his car absolutely immaculate, has reading materials in the back, quiet music (jazz or classical) which won't offend and his driving style is superb (no bouncing around in the back seat!!) so I can work away on my laptop without a worry. And if you become a regular, he even offers to buy you a coffee for those early starts!!

I cannot recommend Millo and his company more. I have even recommended him to my new boss and he loves him! You won't be disappointed. ;)

Approximate cost: $77

This review is for Yeah Maan Restaurant, South Yarra VIC

verified email - 24 Aug 2010

I booked this restaurant for a friends birthday a couple of years ago (so they might have improved since then) but it was terrible, and I was very embarrassed! We all ordered the chicken and although the restaurant wasn't busy (it was midweek) it took nearly an hour and a half for the food to come out and when it did it was mostly bones and not very tasty. There was 5 of us and we all felt the same. The service was also appaling, they barely registered our presence, and when I spoke to them about the fact that the food took so long to come out they did take the birthday girl's meal off the account. However, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

This review is for Cuts And Colour, Dandenong VIC

verified email - 24 Aug 2010

I usually have a full head of foils, and I was looking for somewhere cheaper than most to get it done. This place was great, I got two colours full head of foils and toner for $90!. They had a deal on when I went that with every colour you got a free cut so I only paid for the colour. Word of warning, blow waves are extra, so if you want to see what the style is like when dry, just do it yourself. The colours application was great, the cut was great too, and it only took 2.5 hours to do everything. Am definitely going back. The bad? They are nowhere (and I mean nowhere) on the internet, so you really need to have known someone who's gone there.

Approximate cost: $90

This review is for Absolutely You, Richmond VIC

verified email - 13 Aug 2010

I stopped in at Absolutely You a little while ago and asked whether they had time for a quick eyebrow wax. They had some time so they fitten me in which was nice of them, however the woman that waxed and tweezed my eyebrows HURT! After she waxed them she went over with tweezers which was fine but she grated them against my newly waxed areas and it hurt like crazy. :(

This review is for Guthy-Renker, Rhodes NSW

Ordered ProActiv skincare online and used a card. It took them about a week to process the order and between the time of me ordering and them putting the payment through, I lost my card and had to cancel it. Didn't notice that the funds hadn't been withdrawn. Waited for the requisite 10 days, called them up to enquire and basically was told that the card had failed and so they didn't put the payment through. When I enquired as to why they didn't call me to inform me of this 5 days ago they didn't give me a reason and the call centre operator was surly and didn't care at all. After I enquired about how long it would take now that I knew they had the stock and I had been waiting for 10 days already, they informed me that it would still be 7-10 days. Personally I won't be buying anything from them again, and doubt I will be buying proactiv from them either even if it is good - just out of principle!!

This review is for Entitled Clothing Company

verified email - 10 Aug 2010

I have real trouble finding decent clothes for a late 20's girl as I am larger than average (normally size 16 - 18) and wanted something nice to wear for my birthday. I found Entitled and their clothes are sensational. I have recently ordered an Evie Vintage Dress and am waiting on delivery. However the best thing is the CUSTOMER SERVICE! Aprril Jordon replied to all my emails ridiculously quickly and provided me with further information on the dress since I have never bought clothes online. Still to receive the product, however will be back to comment!

This review is for Pureprofile, Sydney NSW

Signed up to this website and it looked promising but had nothing for two weeks, and when I contacted them to check whether everything with my profile was correct there was no response. Ended up deleting my account.

This review is for Bee Brazilian, Clayton South VIC

verified email - 10 Aug 2010

I had a XXX wax and Lani did a fabulous job. Took her time, did different areas and small patches. Finally went over with tweezers. I am very fussy with my waxing and she did a fabulous job. A bit pricey for the area, but they did a great job so I can't complain!

Approximate cost: $43

This review is for Monx Love, Richmond VIC

verified email - 04 Aug 2010

Monx Love is really close to my home so I used to go there for cut/colour, and I absolutely love the girls there but I just can't justify spending $230 for a half head foils and cut and B/W. The other problem is that they're so busy that they often book too many people in and end up taking 4 hours to do something that should take (at most) 2!

Approximate cost: $230

This review is for Chimmy's Bakery Kitchen, Richmond VIC

verified email - 04 Aug 2010

I come here frequently for breakfast on the weekends and it's always fantastic and busy. The back courtyard is perfect if you're a rare smoker and the food is consistently yummy. Most of my friends when they come to visit me in Richmond suggest Chimmy's.

Approximate cost: $15
