I needed a logo and business card designed, this company gave a good quote with unlimited reviews of the design. The first proofs I was sent were so disappointing that I cancelled my order, I couldn't believe that they would send something that was clearly 5 minutes' work (and at $500!!). I also received no response when I cancelled, very unprofessional.

Approximate cost: $700

I have my hair cut by the style director Laura, she saved me after a terrible cut from a different salon. I knew as soon as she touched my hair that she was the hairdresser for me. I have been seeing only her since 2009 despite living interstate for 2 years. Her cuts are so good I can leave it for 6 months and not look like I need a haircut. She is expensive but absolutely worth it - I've had too many bad haircuts to let anyone else do it.

Approximate cost: $115

Here I have had the best Thai massage I've found outside of Thailand. The traditional and modern Thai massages are both great. Rather than just go through a routine, the ladies here ask where you're sore, and find and work on tensions and knots.

Approximate cost: $70/ hr

Dr. Kylie Jopson is a fantastic vet who instantly has a rapport with my cat. She is caring, reassuring and I trust her to be honest about my cat's health and not try to upsell things she doesn't need. Kylie desexed my cat at 6 months, she is now 13 and after seeing other vets interstate and in Adelaide, I drive across town to bring her back to Kylie.

I have seen Dr. Grant for both gynae and obstetric needs. She is professional, friendly, and relaxed. I was worried about the high rates of c-sections in private hospitals but she listened to what I wanted and supported my desire to deliver my baby with minimal intervention. I will definitely go back to her.

Dr. Chitti is a wonderful paediatrician who really cares about his patients. He is approachable, reassuring and does his best to make himself available. I highly recommend him.

I cannot recommend Shine Home Cleaning. The proprietors were initially enthusiastic and seemed keen to work with me to get a result I was happy with. They asked for feedback but when I told them some things still needed improving after several cleans, they quit with no notice.

Approximate cost: $30

We tried to give the young cleaner a go and plenty of feedback but she just never did a very good job. Finding out she wasn't staying the whole 3 hours we paid her for was the last straw, and the company couldn't care less.

Approximate cost: $23
