This is my most frequented hair dresser. They have a good selection of hair care products and offer good services. I haven't always been happy with the outcome of my hair cuts, but try to ensure I stick to the same hairdresser. When I was getting my hair colored last year before Christmas I told them I wasn't happy with the outcome and they just told me to come back at a time that suited so it could be redone, no issues or dramas. Very good service.

I received a gift voucher from here for Mothers day. I had some trouble with them honoring what was listed on the card as they kept saying "we don't do 90 minute facials". Long story short, I finally received a 60 minute facial with a 30 minute back massage. The overall facial experience was positive, they treated me really well on arrival by serving a herbal tea which was very relaxing. The only down side to anything like this is they tried to up sell me their products the whole time I was getting my facial. I was already sold on their benefit and didn't need someone to continue trying to "diagnose" my skin and hope that I would spend in excess of $500 to buy the whole range. Then tell me that I would also need further facial visits and if I bought a pack of 5 on the day I would get one for free. After I left the salon I researched some pricing at external places and found there was a HUGE mark-up on their "Pevonia" product lines. One example was an eye cream they have for $138.00 where I found elsewhere for $89.00. Would recommend that if you are going here, explain to them that you are not interested in purchasing anything and that way you will just get a nice facial without all the "sales"pitches.

I wouldn't even consider taking my cat to any other vets, even if we were to move this would be the one that we would continue to go to. They are so helpful, are wonderful with the animals and help to put your mind at ease when you have to leave your pet behind for a day or so.

Since I was a teenager I have had problematic skin. Now at 31 it's no different. The girls from this salon helped me find some products to suit my skin needs. They spent a long time with me to determine my skin type and then allowed further follow up visits and phone consultations when I needed some advice. The only downside is the only products they sell are quite expensive (as they are not cheap otc brands) so it can be an expensive visit.

I often get home delivery from Zappis. I find their pizza selection different from other stores with unique toppings that work well. The pizza's are not jam packed with toppings and I think this works well with the flavors. There isn't much space to eat in but does have a lovely vibe. Highly recommend.

This is the best cafe for businesses around Rydalmere during the week. Their number 4 sandwich with Chicken Schnitzel, Seeded Mayo, Mushrooms and Cheese is a winner. Prices are very good. They also do a cracking pizza. My biggest problem is the outside area is for smokers, the smoke blows inside and ruins lunch.

Best Indian cuisine I have ever eaten. The food here is amazing, fresh and full of flavor. Great atmosphere to dine in, two levels available. Would suggest booking for weekends to ensure a table. It's right across the road from Gladstone Park and parking can be frustrating, but it's well worth it. Prices are above average but the serving sizes are large. I do find we run out of rice a lot though so they could probably increase the serving size for that.

Great cheap Thai restaurant in Putney. Not much atmosphere when dining in, decor is simplistic and minimal. Food comes out quite fast and service staff are always friendly. BYO only as premises are not licensed but there is a Liquorland on the opposite corner.

Approximate cost: $15.00

This place has traditional Italian style pizza's. Thin crust and sparse but flavorsome toppings. Dining in is a great experience and the decor has you believe your transported to Italy. Soft drinks are very expensive, and the pizza's are the same but worth it. Staff are so welcoming and friendly too.

My family Dr is from this practice. She is wonderful with my daughter and is so easy to talk to. You must make an appointment in advance or call at 8am on the morning to see if you can get in. Early morning appointments are best as ones later in the day tend to run well behind.
