i was quite happy when i left there. i felt that the customer service was the best thing going for them. they were friendly and made you feel like a special customer. im not too sureabout the prices though. it was a bit expensive and it could have been cheaper. the location was pretty good and there was plenty of car space to park my car so thats always a bonus.

Approximate cost: $100

ONE of Sydney's most genteel apartment blocks has become engulfed in a bitter dispute involving a multi-millionaire's plans to renovate a heritage-listed apartment and the closure of a much-loved hairdressing salon.

A battle has flared between some residents of The Astor -- an exclusive CBD apartment block on Macquarie Street where units fetch millions of dollars -- and members of its board over plans by Wizard Home Loans boss Mark Bouris to build a sauna and gymnasium in a leased basement apartment.

The development -- which chairman of The Astor board Lincoln Gray said was vital for improved security -- would involve moving the salon, which has been in the building's basement for 74 years.

The decision to move Nobuko Hasegawa's Chinika Hair Salon out of the basement has prompted one of its most regular customers, the former NSW chief justice Laurence Street, to lament its loss.
