Went in there to buy supplies for the new kitten.
Staff were very helpful, great information from them about the products.
Pointed me in the right direction.
Decent prices, not the best I've seen but well up there.
Amazing range. Huge store.
I'm a regular now.

Went in to look for a cat.
Wasn't welcomed in the best of ways, found it a bit rude.
Looked around and felt like we were intruding with people watching so harshly.
Tried to start some small talk with workers and wasn't successful.
Bought some revolution for my other cat and left.
Not overly impressed.
Great look of the shop though, and great selection, but the workers just ruined it for me.
And revolution was not too expensive either.

Bit expensive. Owner nice, but has burnt my scalp with bleach on occasion, which these days that is really not necessary.
Good service though, always on time.

Approximate cost: $100

This review is for The Pancake Parlour, Doncaster VIC

Regularly go there late at night.
Service is usually good, sometimes they have their off nights though.
Food is as expected, usually quite good. I have on occasion had some overcooked pancakes though.
They cater to our weird requests as well, as we don't really like the salad they usually provide, so we request a cos lettuce salad instead, which they provide.
Haven't tried their take-away though.
Overall, I love this place. Bit pricey though.

Approximate cost: $20

I went in recently to buy things for my new kitten.
Most was quite pricey, had to really search for a decent price in there.
Things are a bit all over the place too.
Bought a catnip spray, which was about $10 more then I was originally wanting to pay.
Was a pain waiting to be served. Person in front of me was being asking advice, but worker didn't serve me even though I was waiting to buy something. Pretended I wasn't there.
Ended up being spotted by another worker on the floor who rushed over to serve me.
Overall, if you're looking for a pet I'd go there, but for supplies its a bit too pricey.

This review is for Boronia Thai Restaurant, Boronia VIC

Love this restaurant. Great decor, quite small and quaint.
Quick to take your order, not as quick to bring it out though.
Great curries, love their green curry especially. And the coconut rice.
Definitely prefer to eat in though.

I get the chips and gravy usually. Huge portion sizes. Small fills me up. Medium gets me two feeds. Haven't tried large yet.
They are great, they dont skimp on the gravy at all. Chips taste amazing too.
Quite quick service, sometimes theres a small wait though.
Nice owners too.
Pricing is quite average though.

This review is for Tattoo Connection, Wantirna South VIC

Went in for a dragon tattoo.
A guy named Rudie took my info down, booked me in for the next week.
At the appointment, I waited for about 15 mins, while he sized up his drawing etc.
Was really nice, quite fast, only took 3 hours and was quite a large calf piece.
Let me have all the breaks I wanted, gave me great care instructions etc.
Tattoo looks brilliant. Love it.
No complaints whatsoever and would easily go back.

This review is for Cherrycore, Upwey VIC

I have been going to Cherrycore since it was opened.
Cherry (the owner) has done most of my many piercings and over the years she has become a friend.
Impeccably clean shop. Fast service (considering she is the main piercer). Don't know of any other shop that can match her for price/quality. And she is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the body, which is actually quite comforting!
She uses only titanium, which is great.
Even though Ive been in many times, I was quite nervous when I went in for a more adult piercing, but she was quite comfortable and extremely professional about it. Gave me all the info I needed, and make it as quick and painless as possible.
Seriously wouldn't go anywhere else.
I have also done their piercing courses up to 3.2, and they are well taught, well provided for and you get the most hands on experience and attention Ive seen any course in VIC provide. She even gives portfolios and will help you with finding a job.
Also, Ive had a tattoo from AJ, the tattooist there. He's amazingly quick and as gentle as possible. Dealt with me being a wuss about my foot. Tattoo looks amazing, considering it was a fix up job. Had no issues.
Friendly, quality place, with great prices.
Honestly can't say enough for this place.

Approximate cost: $50

This review is for Despina S Nails, Ferntree Gully VIC

verified email - 15 Jul 2013

Went there a few days before my Year 10 formal. Just got a normal set of acrylics, white tip etc.
Despina was quite nice. Was running a bit late with her other appointment, so I waited.
She was quite fast once she got started and they looked amazing.
My problem was, the next day, most of them came off!!
I rang her up asap, and she apologised told me to come back in. The ones that hadn't come off had air bubbles under them.
She took them all off and fixed them again for no charge (as expected). They stayed on for my formal, but the day after, they once again began to come off!
I was quite disappointed by this, and didn't go back a third time, and haven't been since.
