I love this place!

Delicious, tasty, authentic Thai dishes. Greeeat service - all waitresses that have served me are constantly on the ball and checking up on me without being too pushy or naggy. They gave the feeling that they were there if we needed them, but they weren't shadowing or nagging us while we ate.

On the one occasion that we found a hair in our food, they dealt with the problem quickly and in a very apologetic way, removing the item from the bill and discounting it further afte that, as well as replacing the dish with a fresh one.

Prices are average compared to most other Thai restaurants but the quality and flavour here makes it worth it without a doubt.

Would recommend the red duck curry served in a hollow pineapple! Yum!

Very friendly service! They have these great helpful nail palettes to help you pick out from TONNES of colours.
Great westpoint staff discount! They listen to what you want and are gentle.

The salon itself is quite large compared to others I've seen. This means more tables, more pedicure/foot spa seats, more staff = you won't wait for service long + you'll be taken care of properly :)

Look out for their specials as well as they have occasional deals as well as the loyalty card that they use all year long - every 3 visits gets you $5 off!

Even when I came in once towards the end of their trading hours (about 15mins before close) they used as much care and precision when doing my nails as they do every other time.

Would recommend!

Approximate cost: $30

Quite happy with the service here.
The manager always greets you cheerfully as you walk in and the staff are also friendly and try to have a nice chat with you while they do your manicure.

I've gotten acrylics done here and I was very happy with the quality. I've also had infills done here and they looked flawless, natural and perfectly matched to the shape/length I requested. I've had infills done elsewhere and the quality just was nowhere near that of this salon.

Prices are pretty average but they have a good loyalty card system where you get $5 off after every 3 visits you have :)

Approximate cost: $25-30

Excellent! Friendly and helpful staff.

Loooove the quality of the cuts - had one trim here and my hair went from straw-like and fuzzy to beautiful and healthy.
My second time here was for a layering style cut. Quick and gentle, but the style was perfect and they really listen to what you want and cater to you!

Prices are a little bit over average prices, about $25 for a trim and $35 for style cuts for long hair. But worth it!
Definitely recommend!

Approximate cost: $25-35 cuts

My experience was quite embarassing. The prices are average, if not a couple of dollars cheaper than other places.

The man who did my acrylic nails was a bit impatient and when I tried to tell him how long I wanted my them, he argued and tried to tell me I was wrong. He also rushed me when I was picking my nail colour. Then as I was leaving he and another customer were making fun of me and laughed at a question I asked them.

Not a very comfortable first-time experience! I did not feel like I was being listened to.

Approximate cost: $25
