visited this clinic based on the rave reviews it received on WOMOW. I was seen very quickly and the dentist was extremely efficient. I am used to my dentist being able to handle everything in one visit including cleaning and scaling and x-rays. I was disappointed when all they did was poke around in my mouth and tell me I had to book 2 other appointments for the other services including going to a radiology clinic. I probably prefer the convenience of an all in one dentist. I have another scheduled appointment relating to my wisdom teeth but I would not choose them as my regular dentist. Too impersonal.

I read Paula's book after seeing her on the news critiquing skincare and make up products. She provides plenty of good ratings for other major cosmetic lines but the one she brought out in response to people's requests really works. The line promises only what can actually be done with skin care science and your products arrive quickly. They deliver on what they say and if, like me, you've suffered bad acne then you're in for some serious improvement. Paula's choice is both educational and effective. I'd recommend it to anyone.

this is my new local Chinese place. I had a great plum pork but my fiancee thought his mongolian beef was a bit average. The noodles we had a couple of nights later when we went back had weird poor quality vegetables for a stir fry (tomato?!). However they are fast and they are good value.

My fiancee and I ordered lunch here and ordered what we thought were snack size meals. They came out in very generous portions and both tasted great. I had the chicken ribs and he had the mambo caesar. The staff were attentive, the iced chocolate excellent, and the place was clean and tidy.

My fiancee purchased my engagement ring from Ralf. Ralf sourced a beautiful stone and made a stunning ring which we both adore. Many others have complimented its beauty and sparkle. He is friendly, knowledgeable and creative. We also ordered a ring for my mum which was made up and it too was beautiful and affordable. You could not ask for higher quality, better service, beautiful creative work, and value for money. We are excitedly awaiting our wedding rings to be made up.

I booked a haircut with Liz. She was friendly, professional, and able to offer advice on a suitable hairstyle for my face which I appreciated. The cut was excellent and she did a great job working around our tiny bathroom when washing my hair. She was also very punctual

went in for a 3/4 leg wax and eyebrow wax and tint. The beautician was very nice but seemed unsure and asked a lot of questions. The leg wax went ok although there was no offer to wax toes and they use the roll on wax which I don't find as gentle or effective. The eyebrow colour was great but the shape was not good at all. Quite mistmatched. I was kept waiting a good 10 minutes too and the attendant left the room several times but left the door open which didn't provide enough privacy.

ordered a passionfruit sponge cake for an important birthday. When I rang to confirm the order they seemed confused about it. I was quite disappointed with the presentation of the cake. For that price I was expecting something modern and stylish, instead it looked a little over the top with too much cream and sprinkles and swirls. It was quite old fashioned. The icing was not passionfruit as requested. I had heard good things about this bakery but was nonplussed.

went in for a 3/4 leg wax, bikini wax and eyebrow wax and tint. The therapist was friendly and the salon very hygienic. I liked it that they used the spatula wax rather than the roll on kind. While the therapist did all that I asked her for, I did have to ask for it. Things like waxing my toes, the top of the bikini area would have been missed otherwise. Also she didn't press down on the area after pulling the strip off which is common practice to ease the pain. This resulted in a somewhat painful experience around the bikini. One thing that really bothered me was when another therapist entered to ask a question or grab some wax on 3 occasions without knocking or asking. I felt like my privacy was not respected as the room looked onto the foyer and she left the door open.

Booked for a cut and blow wave was quoted $60 over the phone but charged $75 at the register. Stylist did a very nice cut and gave great advice about how to wash and style my hair. I feel the price was too high though and my personal preference would be to be left quietly to read rather than chatting constantly during the process.
