On entering the salon I was attended to immediately. The lady who cut my hair was very communicative and she was very sure about what she was doing. I got some nice steps and layers around my face. On request she also gave me a small fringe. The whole experience was so easy. Usually while cutting and blow drying, one can feel uneasy and impatient. Here i did not even realize when she started or finished. Very efficient and the end result was amazing. I did get value for my money. I will recommend this place to my friends for sure.

Approximate cost: $49

This place serves delicious food. Very close to Indian food. This was the first place I tried in Sydney road. Service is a little on the okay side. Can't blame them it's so busy all the time. Anyway ppl may find it expensive but it is money's worth.

Approximate cost: $18

The place is very accessible.its very busy but the service is good. The smell of food engulfs you. The quality of the food is brilliant. It's like a mini Middle East. I come here every weekend.

I have been there a number of times. My husband and i love this place. Anytime we need delicious indian food we just drop in at bismi. The waiters are polite and prompt. The service is quick and the food is unbelievable. No matter what i have ordered i have been served great food. the only thing that lacks is ambience but it is ignorable. As long as the food remains the same i will keep going there. :)

Approximate cost: $25 for tw0

I have been here twice. The first time i did not judge them. When my husband and i went there, my husband was made to wait for more than an hour in-spite of us being on time. I just got a trim so there was nothing really to expect from that. They seem to be really nice to certain customers. This was the last time. Today i just got back from there. This girl she washes my hair and keeps me waiting for ten minutes with wet hair because the person to cut my hair was getting her hair done at that time. Unbelievable! Then this family drops in and they surrounded them to discuss the cut they wanted, so i was still waiting with my wet hair. After doing her hair and discussing, she came around to do my hair. There was not a single excuse or sorry for keeping me waiting. I told her what i wanted and i thought she got it. She started to cut my hair and in between she had to go change the music that was playing. She even offered to make coffee for some who dropped in and thankfully that person declined. Otherwise i would have waited another ten minutes with wet hair. After the cut she starts blow drying my hair without even asking if that is all i wanted. Seriously i could have gotten this layered hair cut for ten bucks elsewhere. I went there for something i wanted, they did not bother to find out and they certainly did not ask me if i was happy with it or not. When i asked more layers she replied saying this is it! I have previously asked for shorter hair or more layers in other parlours and they would oblige. What i could not seem to get through is her attitude. The person who cut my hair had an attitude that was difficult to deal with. Basically my complaint is that i was made to wait with wet hair for a long time because she was doing her own hair at that time. Then she does not communicate to ask about what i wanted and if i was happy with it or not. When i tried telling her she did not make an attempt to even know what i was saying.Then she would repeatedly leave in between the cut to go change the music that was playing. I found it very annoying. The staff in Vuda looks great but i think they should pay little more attention to what the customers want than anything else. Also the previous time i went the person who cut my hair was very receptive but not this time.

Approximate cost: $45
