Sam's working is nothing short of flawless.

I have visited him on two seperate occasions, exactly one year apart, with dresses that needed last minute alterations for cocktail functions. Both dresses required quite extensive and intricate tailoring and I cannot believe how beautifully they came back to me.

I recently took a stunning red dress that needed a replacement zipper, and the replacement gold zipper Sam found looked 10 times better than the original! The dress fits like a glove.

Sam and Gracie are both such honest, lovely, welcoming people that never make you feel as if you're asking for too much. They truly listen to your requests and will go above and beyond to ensure that the quality and craftsmanship is second to none.

While you may pay slightly more than what you would elsewhere, Sam is by far the best in Melbourne, and most likely in Australia. If he cannot fix it, no one can!

Approximate cost: $100

The girls at Simply Brows & Lashes are simply amazing. I have been visiting them for over a year now, and would never trust anyone else with my brows.

Mauli at South Yarra is fantastic, takes her time with you and always listens to what you have to say. She focuses on thick, full brows which is reassuring for those of you who fear having too much taken off!

I have also had eyelash extensions applied by the lady at their Camberwell store (sorry, I forgot your name!) and they were immaculate. So full, perfectly applied and lasted a lot longer than any lash extensions I had got elsewhere.

Definitely worth your time and money to visit these girls. They are miracle workers!
