These guys do amazing work! Staffed by volunteers you pay what you feel the meal was worth. The food is served buffet style and you can eat as much as you want. It's always very tasty and it's all vegetarian. It's not a fine dining experience but provides good wholesome food for as much as you want to pay.

This review is for Ulms for Hair, Camberwell VIC

The staff were friendly and managed to fit me in at short notice but it was way overpriced. They cut my hair much shorter than I requested and all these funny short bits underneath that were all different lengths. It was quite simply the worst haircut I have ever had. I did go back and complain and they tried to fix it by cutting more off to try and even out the lengths but the damage was already done.

Approximate cost: $80

Brilliant website, easy to use and so useful. I have found so many small business I never knew existed through WOMO and with the review facility I have been happy with those I have taken my business to. I am happy to be a part of WOMO and share my findings to help others with their choices.

A small but well stocked shop my mother-in-law recommended to me. Having just taken up knitting I went along to find my next project and the staff could not have been more helpful. I picked out a pattern and they advised me on which wools I could use and when I picked one that was slightly different to the pattern they worked out how many balls I would need to complete the project. Very knowledgeable and friendly I will definitely go back when I am finished for my next knitting project!

This review is for Woodfire Cafe Pizzeria, Ivanhoe VIC

Great pizza and really interesting menu with both traditional and more unusual options. We had the dark chocolate calzone with strawberries for dessert which was yummy and enough for 2 to share! We went very early on a Friday evening so it was pretty quiet and the staff were really friendly and attentive. Not the cheapest pizza you can find but not unreasonable either. It is worth it and they make up for it by allowing you to BYO wine so we took a nice bottle of red.

Approximate cost: $17.00

This review is for Baby Bunting, Maribyrnong VIC

We visited to look at strollers on recommendation from my sister-in-law. They had the widest range of strollers that we had seen in one place which made it easy to compare the different options. There was also plenty of space in the store to try them all out. Staff were slow to approach but turned out extremely helpful and knowledgeable on all the pros and cons of the different models and brands. It would have been better if each stroller had a fact sheet with all the basic information (size, weight, main features etc) then we could have accessed information easier and quicker and we'd have a reference to take away.

This review is for Ripe Maternity, Melbourne VIC

Ripe has all the basic maternity clothes that you need as well as work clothes and things for a special occasion. I bought Jeans, black trousers, leggings, long sleeved T-shirts a dress and a lovely top to wear out in the evenings. All very good quality and all very comfortable and flattering. The shop assistant couldn't have been more helpful and the store environment was comfortable and relaxed. They even have "fake bumps" for you to strap around your tummy so you can see how clothes will look when you are further along your pregnancy!

We took our very bouncy labrador Lucy here for a wash and she came out beautifully clean and very happy! You do have to book well in advance though, the last two times they were so booked up we had to go elsewhere because the wait was just too long.

We have bought a fridge and a vaccum cleaner from these guys and they were great! Both deliveries on time and as well as being free delivery they offer you a choice of delivery days so it's very convenient. They can usually deliver within a couple of days too. The fridge was the lowest price we could find, we did actually find the vaccum cleaner $30 cheaper on another site so they matched the price for us. Site is also very user friendly. Highly recommend for both price and service.

This review is for Alter It Clothing Alterations, Camberwell VIC

I have taken several pairs of trousers here to be altered and the staff are very friendly. They have changing rooms and will pin items for you so you don't have to do this beforehand. I have found that they do a good job and complete the work very quickly. I did have one occasion where the trouser leg was still too long after they had done the work and they re-did it free of charge. I do feel their prices are a little high though and it does put me off going back in the future.
