This review is for Hair To Stay, Huntingdale VIC

verified email - 02 Jun 2013

Purchased ourdeal voucher for facial and massage 1.5hrs. The actual salon is a bit outdated but Kavita the beauty therapist is wonderful and the actual beauty room is much nicer than the rest of the salon. She uses organic natural products for the facial Australian brand NAT. The place is a bit hard to find as it is not in numerical order by shop number.

Went here on an entertainment book voucher for 50% main meal. This was a really good deal. Had the steak sandwich on turkish bread cost $10 after voucher. The meal came with very generous serving of chips. This is a typical pub place. My only issue is no parking on site so had to park in dim side street, not safe for females.

This review is for Hahndorf Fine Chocolates, Doncaster East VIC

Lovely cafe on Blackburn Road Doncaster East. All their drinks come with a complimentary chocolate of your choices. Their truffle chocolates are the best. If you purchase a tray of 5 chocolates for $7.00 you get a free hot drink (latte, cappu, flat white, mocha, hot chocolate, teas) of your choice. Parking is limited at the front so better to park at the back.

This website has been really useful to gauge locals' objective opinion on businesses and their services. I always come here before I purchase any daily deal vouchers or try out new restaurants.

This review is for Silky Apple, Armadale VIC

verified email - 27 May 2013

Silky Apple has gone down hill since they changed owners last year. It used to be owned by the people who own the other famous Melbourne restaurants Red Emperor and Tai Pan. They sold it last year and it appears both the service and quality for the food have deteriorated.

Great deals and fairly good customer service. I have been able to obtain a refund from them which is a good sign that they care about customer satisfaction, unlike Scoopon who never gives refunds

This review is for Liz Beauty, Melbourne VIC

Liz is a Korean girl who speaks very little English. I purchased a voucher to try lash extensions. The quality of her lashes are very good they are silk material not synthetic so do not scratch your eye lids. She applies them on very quickly the whole thing takes less than 45 minutes. She is obviously very experienced. Her salon is really only a corner that she rents from some Chinese manicurist and looks really dirty. The place is difficult to find as it is upstairs in some dodgy looking places, it is close to RMIT though. If you are looking for cheap and good quality lashes and technician she is great, but if hygiene is important to you then avoid this place.

This review is for Milestone Hand Car Wash, Mitcham VIC

I purchased a CUDO voucher to try this place out. It is a car wash located in an independant petrol station. It is owned by Indians. They did a good and quick job at washing my car both inside and outside. They tend to be cheaper than other places given that the petrol station is fairly run down.

This review is for Noble House Chinese Restaurant, Eltham VIC

verified email - 21 May 2013

Great Chinese food and service in this area. One of the more authentic places around without having to go to Box Hill or Chinatown. I recently discovered this place while dining with a friend who had just moved to Eltham. Usually I eat around Doncaster/Box Hill for Chinese and this place surely measures up.

This review is for Wendon International Dance Studios, Glen Waverley VIC

verified email - 21 May 2013

Very professional instructors but very old school method used to teach ballroom dance. Studio is very old and dim inside and in need of renovation. The price is reasonable given the quality of the instructors. The owners are very well known in the ballroom industry and are international ballroom competition judges. I would highly recommend this place if you don't mind old school methods of teaching.
