This review is for Under Cuts, Upper Ferntree Gully VIC

I have curly hair, which I find some hairdressers struggle with. I wasn't happy with the cut I got here. My dad goes here though for cuts, and is happy with them. I think they do well with simple type cuts.

Took my cat Geoffy here for a checkup recently when he was a bit under the weather. The staff were very friendly and caring. They were upfront about pricing which was appreciated, as Geoffy ended up requiring an operation. Definitely recommend.

Have ordered takeaway and dined in a few times.
The food is beautiful. However, when I last visited here with a group of people for my birthday, the service was extremely slow.
Decor is nice. They make a good mango lassi too.

Love the variety here. Having visited France some years ago, I am loving that I can purchase many of the foods I ate over there right here at home!
There is a good dry organics section, however the organic veg is often disappointing, with fruit and veg still sitting there at full price 2 weeks past their packing date.
They often run out of baskets at busy times which can be very annoying.

Have been here a few times, and on the whole found the service to be ok-slow at times. The serving sizes are generous, but the food is pretty average. I guess it's ok as a family restaurant, but there are plenty of other places in this area that would be worth a try instead.

Went to this newly opened cafe for lunch yesterday. This is the owner's first cafe, and I think he is doing a great job! There isn't much in the way of good cafes in this area (my mum works in Boronia, so we lunch often). I think this will be our new lunching destination.
The owner is really welcoming, friendly, and provides quick service.
His food is freshly prepared and very reasonably priced.
Support this new small local business!

This review is for Boronia Mall Clinic, Boronia VIC

I followed my doctor to this clinic when Upwey closed. She is very good. However, the waiting times are usually 30-45 minutes, which I find unacceptable, given that it happens at pretty much every appointment.
If you want to come here, try and get an appointment at the start of the day to avoid this.

After being unhappy with many local mechanics, I decided to try these guys. They are a husband and wife team.
They were happy to outline the cost of a service, and how much parts were likely to be so I could budget.
Service was quick and friendly-Ian came out and explained to me how car batteries work and what happens when you run them flat. (in my case 4 times haha).
Fantastic and great value. Definitely recommend.

This review is for Odyssey Nails, Wantirna South VIC

Went to get a manicure and a pedicure for a special occasion. I should preface this by saying that my friend is a beauty therapist and I usually see her for nails but she was not available so I came here.
The girl took off too much cuticle on my hand and it bled-have never had this happen before. It was quite painful.
She also did something to my big toe-not sure what, but it's still sore 3 days later.
The experience was painful. The service was bad- she barely spoke English, and kept talking with other staff members in another language-I don't think she was even focused on what she was doing.
I seriously wonder if the people working at these places are suitably qualified.
They have awesome pedi massage chairs but that is the only positive about the place. They are dirt cheap and I can see why.
NEVER AGAIN!

Approximate cost: $50

My family often come here for birthday dinners. The staff are exceptionally efficient and friendly.
I love the meals. The flavours are great and there is something to suit everyone. Although prices are a little expensive for the area I feel, it's definitely worth it for something special.
