After reading lots of good reviews, I came across an on-line offer for the salon. As I don't do very much with my hair and the mother of a young toddler, I generally just get a trim and don't splurge on a style cut or colour. The staff made it easy to book an appointment and were very receptive on arrival. It came to light that the two stylists working were a Mother and Daughter team and I enjoyed the comfortable rapport they had. I was advised to bring a photo of a style I liked or I could browse the style books on offer. I did as asked and brought in a photo which the senior stylist said was a classic style and easy to achieve. She then went on to ask if I wanted to work with a colour change and was very helpful when choosing the colour tones for my highlights. Her quote for the work was very reasonable and I was very happy with the results.
So the Pros were : comfortable atmosphere in salon with very friendly staff
excellent colour work and advice
good hair cut
and the Cons were :
Salon was quite busy for only two stylists working - there were many phone and walk-in customer interruptions
Would have preferred the Senior Stylist to actually cut my hair but the Junior Stylist did do a very good job and I am very pleased with the end result.
Overall, I am very happy that I went to Choppas and will be returning again.
I would definitely recommend them to others - in fact, I already have!

Approximate cost: $150 Full Head of Foils + Voucher

We were introduced to the Bamboo after dining at many other Noodle Houses around Perth and are very glad we found it. It is clean and the staff are very friendly. The menu is large and varied and the servings are abundant. The place is always busy so we recommend you book a table or arrive early.
Two thumbs up from us.

Approximate cost: $10-$15

This review is for Body Tonic Holistic Health, Tuart Hill WA

I received a voucher to have an aromatherapy relaxation massage from this Clinic. I couldn't get a booking within the time limit of the voucher but Shabina, the Massage Therapist, was kind enough to extend the voucher's validity so that I could book a suitable time. So right away, I was looking forward to visiting the clinic. The shop is small and tucked out of the way but the ambience is soothing, with calming music and lovely aromatherapy scents. Shabina is an excellent masseuse with a lovely manner - I highly recommend her. Some therapists seem to want to work on the same place over and over again until it is uncomfortable not enjoyable but this was never the case with Shabina. I also received a $25 voucher towards another session and I am looking forward to booking again soon.

Approximate cost: $50 for 60minutes

This review is for Pastacup Canning Vale, Canning Vale WA

We bought an on-line voucher for 2 large pastas and a garlic bread from our closest Pastacup in Canningvale so we could give them a try. Generally, takeaway pasta can be expensive and not great quality so we thought this was a good way to try without wasting too much money. A large group of us decided to use the voucher and order lots of extras. The menu is extensive and catered to all tastes as well as being VERY REASONABLY PRICED.
We placed our order by phone and the staff were very efficient - relayed the entire order back to me and got it all exactly right, which is virtually unheard of in most cases with phone orders. Then we were told our order would only take 15-20 minutes - again, virtually unheard of with most takeaway places unless they are very quiet which generally isn't a good sign! When we arrived at the restaurant, I was surprised to see how busy they were and we were served again very quickly and efficiently. Our order was piping hot and all accounted for. Each order of pasta comes in it's own 'cup' with a complimentary side order of bread and parmesan cheese included in a special lid to the pastacup - everyone thought this was a nice touch. The consensus was positive, many saying they would order from them again as all the dishes were very tasty. I personally suggest you try the carbonara MMMM!

Approximate cost: $Most expensive $17.00!
