What I love about just cuts is that you don't have to make an appointment - you just walk in when it suits you & give them your name, & you're in! It's that easy!! The staff are always pleasant, which makes up for the slightly rushed cut. Also, you can choose to get a cut with or without a wash - it's $31 if you want it washed, but if you're in a rush or want to do it on the cheap, it's $25).

We like to shop at the DFO, and get last seasons fashions at a fraction of the price. Theere is a good range of different clothes shops here, from designer brands to surf labels. There is not much by the way of homewares, but if you are after bargain clothes, DFO is the place to go.

I have stayed in both a one & two bedroom apartment in Quest (on seperate occassions) & both times I was very happy with the rooms. Being 2 blocks from The Queen Street Mall, with fully functional kitchens, complimentary austar/ foxtel channels & access to the pool, spa & gym, it makes Quest a very comfortable home away from home for a business trip or a family holiday.

A great place to meet up with friends or collegues, & talk over a light lunch. They have excellent options if you want to be healthy, all the while being very filling & satisfying. I recommend the open grills on turkish bread for a great healthy option, & ever so filling. And of course, after their namesake, their coffee is delicious!

The new look matches the quality of the food, very warm & inviting, & fresh. Love the all you can eat salads & deserts - it's so affordable & a great place to take the whole family.

A day of shopping can be tiring, & there's nothing better than sitting down & enjoying a moment with a coffee & cake. Their cakes are absolutely wonderful (especially their chocolate mud cakes), & they also do some lovely savoury meals if you are looking for a sit down lunch. They can be a little pricey, but once you taste their food, it is all worth it.

The Pig 'N' Whistle has such a fantastic atmosphere about it - even though it is inside the shopping centre, you feel like you are somewhere in England, with it's quaint wooden paneling & intimate lamps/ fresh flowers on the tables. They also serve the most amazing comfort food - so if you're needing a pick me up after a big day of shopping, this is the place to go, put your feet up, & relax.

We needed to replace a headlight on our car but didn't know what we needed or how to replace it. While we were at this store getting something else for the car, we also asked about the bulb. The staff were so friendly, coming out to look at our car, they told us what size bulb we needed to replace & gave us instructions on how to install it. And to top it all off, it was surprisingly cheap. Was very happy with their service.

I use body shop products regularly, and I recently visited this store to get some more soaps. I found the staff to be so friendly & genuine, asking me & my husband how our day had been, & inviting us to trial the moisturisers & perfumes while we shopped (just for fun), putting us at ease immediately. By the time we left, we felt like we had known them for years!

I'd walked past this store several times, but this time decided to see what they had to offer. I was greeted by friendly staff who were very professional, giving me plenty of advice without trying to sell me any products. They also gave me some samples so that I could trial their products, which I was really happy with. I ended up going back to have my eyebrows reshaped & tinted, which was over in minutes & looked amazing!
