Its a bulk-bill clinic and there are no appointments, I like that. I'm generally a healthy person so don't need any special services but if I am required to see a doctor for work reasons I like that I can walk in and wait for a doctor. Generally it's only been a 15 min wait or so. Se doctors can be quite abrupt and or cold but I don't take it personally.

Not a good experience at all. To the point i even wrote a complaint to the karingal vet about how unhappy I was, the way my complaint was handled by the owner further cemented the dissatisfaction I have towards this clinic. Seems to me the goal is to grab the dollar by pushing products and services and to attempt to make you feel guilty for going with the sale then and there. I ended up finding another local vet to treat my dog with arthritis and we visited that clinic on a monthly basis for 2 years until my dog passed away recently. Karingal vet have unhelpful staff, pushy vets, and are overpriced. However, I will credit them on their 24hr dog wash located at the rear of their building. If you also have not been happy with their service do not bother making a complaint as you will not doubt only be verbally attacked by the owner.

I've been going to these guys for years on and off mainly for hair extensions. So this review is specifically for hair extensions. Koh Haircutters have their own quality extensions but they do also cater for people like me that being their own extensions have them installed by Koh. Jason is the only hairdresser I request to do my micro link extensions because he is so thorough and really takes pride in his work. I did have another hairdresser there a couple of years ago retighten mine but her work was not good and when I came home I noticed she had missed a couple. The biggest draw card is that these guys charge per extension to retighten already installed extensions. It's $1 per extension and that for me is a better way to charge rather than the 'charge per hour' system, because if you have an inefficient hairdresser ultimately you pay more for that! Makes no sense. Koh is out of the way for me, very out of the way, as I'm in frankston, but for now there is no one better and the price cannot be beaten. (I have usually 80 extensions which means I pay $80 anywhere else will charge me atleast $100.

I've been here once but wanting to go back. Yes, there is complimentary soup, rolls and salad which is lovely. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is warm and relaxed, somewhere you can bring the whole family or as just a couple. Your gran would love this place too. When we have family visiting from outside of town we will bring them here as there's something to suit everyone and the menu is quite extensive and impressive. The queue to order and pay was quite horrendous but when my partner brought me a glass of bubbly the wait in the queue was magically bearable. Mind you, although the queue to pay can be tedious, the service given by staff is wonderful. From memory the ATM machine didn't work very well and charged you for the service and then the bar staff told us you can get cash out from their terminals at the bar - handy tip for you if you haven't brought enough cash!

Approximate cost: $Well priced

Just had French acrylic full set. Lovely girls (no talking about clients amongst themselves, which is a refreshing change). Fast service, great job, and the staff are so nice! Great value at only $30 and the other clients there were telling me that they do quality nails and use quality polish. And get this, the staff themselves had amazing nails! I'm going back!

Approximate cost: $30

These guys gave the best quote around by quite a bit actually. And they were able to do custom set of French doors to replace my large rotted out windows. Other places either said they couldn't do custom or wanted to charge twice as much to make custom doors. These smashed their competitors prices, custom built it, installed it AND used quality timber. Wife and husband team perhaps? .. Not sure. But both were lovely to deal with. I've been thinking I need a new entrance door to my place soon and I will certainly going straight to them! Good work guys! Keep it up!

One of our favourite Mexican restaurants in Melbourne as it tastes very authentic here. Owned by Mexicans I assume and the staff appear to also be Mexican I assume also. We always stuff ourselves here and never have room to try desert either. The tequila list is mind boggling, but I love tequila so I just point at one on the menu randomly and we're good to go. I wouldn't even think about coming to this place without a booking as you may be dissappointed as they are usually packed. Enjoy!

Approximate cost: $25?

It's basically a Mexican subway and I love that idea! I'm not huge on Mexican but my partner is... But this place is a refreshing change to the other fast food chains. Can be a much healthier option too. Love it as you can spice it up yourself with the sauces provided too. Great, fresh convenient fast food that's a much healthier option than many of the others. We grabbed a burrito and beer each and ate inside the restaurant and then walked the length of chapel street and back. Perfect!

Approximate cost: $10

My partner and I have been going here for years. I think we even had our first date here! Sometimes the service is less than perfect and sometimes the curries may contain a few less pieces of chicken or meat than you'd expect but overall the price, food quality and ambience is fantastic. Try the bajgun alaroo (eggplant side dish) the beef naan bread and goat curry are delicious. Make sure you bring a bottle of wine as they are good with BYO too!

Paws and Pose took professional photos of my old Labrador in their studio in Hawthorn. I received the photos on a disc and also 1 large and 2 medium sized professional prints. The sitting and the prints cost $120 and the disc that had all the photos of the shoot for an extra $80. My dog has since passed away but these photos are the ones I treasure most. I had originally asked that they 'airbrush' the photos as Molly had one weepy eye and the photographer said she could do it if I really wanted, but that most people treasure the little imperfections of our loved pets. I'm glad I listened to her advice because she was right. We had the photos done in 2010 and I really should get around to getting our rabbits photographed too. From memory the photographer used to be a vet nurse and it is obvious she is an animal worshipper like me!
