This review is for Esplanade Hotel, Fremantle WA

verified email - 03 Nov 2012

Stayed here for our wedding night. We'd booked a room with a park view, but when we arrived after our reception, we were told we'd been upgraded to the best room in the hotel for our special night. The room was absolutely amazing! It was a huge room with balcony, huge jacuzzi bath, huge tv and massive bed! My husband could lie sideways in the bed and still had a little room at the end! Buffet breakfast was included for the next morning and was very good. Plenty to choose from and everything tasted great. We were allowed a late check-out because we'd arrived so late after our reception. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and professional, hotel was very clean and the food was delicious. Can't fault the Esplanade Hotel, Fremantle. It was at the high end of our budget, but was definately worth it. Would love to stay again.

This review is for Prouds, Cannington WA

I often buy jewellery from Prouds and find them to be the cheapest in price around. The only problem I have with Prouds in Carousel is the staff, although very polite and friendly, they don't seem to have much knowledge about their products. I went to the store recently shopping for wedding rings . My fiance and I know nothing about jewellery and had no idea what kind of gold would be best, what kind of style would suit our needs etc and neither did the staff! Every question we asked was answered with either "It depends on what you prefer" or "I'd have to check with my manager". At least they are friendly. If you're not in the know about jewellery and looking for something particular, perhaps to some research yourself before heading into Prouds Cannington. Otherwise, nice quality jewellery with good prices.

Approximate cost: $150

This review is for Trinity Nails, Maddington WA

I used to go to Trinity Nails all the time when I was younger, but haven't been for quite some time. I'm getting married next month so am looking for somewhere to get my nails done before the wedding, which I why I went back here for a "trial". The lady that served me was very helpful as I was being very particular about the shape and how the glitter tips would look. She did a great job of my nails. She didn't rush to get me finished and out of the way which I have experience in some other salons. The only thing I believe could have been a bit better is the shape of the nails. Saying that, I have booked to go back to Trinity Nails the day before the wedding! Would recommend.

*EDIT* I went back the day before my wedding to have my nails done, the young lady doing them was really nice and took her time to get the glitter perfect etc, but when it came to shaping the nails, every nail was a different shape and most were uneven and longer on one side of the nail. I kept asking for them to be fixed - I guess the lady got annoyed with me, as she said something (in another language) in a huff to the lady working next to her, didn't even look at me or explain what was going on and swapped places. I was made to feel an inconvenience by asking for the shape of my nails to be fixed (I did mention I was having them done ready for my wedding the next day, you'd think that an even shape would be standard!). Saying that, the lady that finished my nails did a wonderful job of fixing the shape and they did look great!

Love dining at Panchos. Staff are always friendly and the food always tastes great. It can be slightly pricey, but they have plenty of deals on for different nights of the week. Love the chilli con queso and their frozen cocktails. Highly recommend!

This review is for 88th And Broadway Hair Studio, Nedlands WA

Used a voucher I'd bought on Groupon for $59 - Style cut, full head colour, ten foils, treatment, blowdry etc. Excellent value for what I paid. I explained what colours I wanted and the hairdresser knew exactly what I wanted and meant, no fussing around for me to pick it from samples (I'm useless and so indecisive). The massaging chairs at the basins are amazing! I was nearly falling asleep they were so relaxing. Would definately use this salon again.

This review is for Pozzest Piercing & Bodyworks, Cannington WA

verified email - 20 Jul 2012

I will admit, it has been quite a few years since my last visit to Pozzest. I went there for my first body piercing at age 12 and used them regularly for other body piercings and the occasional eyebrow wax for many years after. Always found the girls there lovely and so helpful. Trusted them completely with all of my piercings and never had any problems whatsoever. But as I said - it has been a good few years since I've been there (I've been away for a while).

Approximate cost: $60
