Absolute gem tucked away on a service road in Croydon North. With plenty of local options available, this warm and welcoming place quickly rose to our breakfast/brunch spot of choice. Clean, fresh food that doesn't sacrifice taste. Excellent tea selection and there's always a line for takeaway coffee. Highly recommended.

Great nails and location let down by no customer service. If you're after a quality application of SNS or Shellac and love the flexibility of "walk in" service (like me) then this place is terrific. Prepare to wait for attention on weekends and other busy times. Not somewhere to go for a relaxing pamper, but if you just want the job done well then it ticks all the boxes.

Best blonde color in Melbourne. Jo really takes the time to understand what you're after and she manages a perfect shiny natural looking ash blonde every time. Great products (that aren't pushed on you to purschase). A little local gem out East.

Lovely girls and friendly service but sub-standard eyelash extension application. Matted and poking all over the place. I nearly cried when I saw my lashes in the car mirror on the way home. I'm a lash extension "veteran' and know what a decent application looks and feels like. Usually have lashes done interstate due to work travel but thought I'd try a local salon before an OS trip. I had to have the extensions professionally removed by another salon. Terribly disappointing.
