This review is for Miles Wilson Hairdressing, Elsternwick VIC

I had highlights and a trim. My hair looked pretty good after but not amazing and colour didn't last that long.The salon is nice, hairdresser was lovely but they are a lot more expensive than other hairdressers who do just as good a job.

I have been having pasta and pizza here mainly take away since they first opened and the food is always really good (there are a few tables if u wanted to eat there as well but pretty basic) Pizzas are always perfectly cooked with good toppings and pretty healthy (for pizza!) Staff are lovely and they often have special offers.

This review is for Vodafone Customer Service, Sydney NSW

I am on a plan with vodafone and happy enough with the rates and the plan overall but when it comes to having to contact them for anything their customer service has to be the worst ever. I want to scream every time at the annoying Lara (automatic voice that asks you to tell her what you want but can never understand what you say) Last time I called was because I received a bill for over 800 dollars despite being on a cap . I was transferred to 4 different people and most of them just hadn't a clue. The final guy was supposed to call me back but still haven't heard from him over a week later. Once you sign up to them you are on your own after that and all they want is your money.

I have been a vegetarian for over thirty years and this is the best vegetarian restaurant I have ever been to. The menu is so varied and everything tasted so good. Even my partner who is such a meat eater wanted to go back a few weeks later. The prices are very reasonable and the service was efficient. I don't love the decor, it's pretty casual and everything is mismatched and bit scruffy looking ...as always seems to be the case with vegetarian restaurants for some reason.

This review is for Loco Cafe, Elsternwick VIC

I thought I would check out cafe Loco after reading reviews on womow and have to agree with everyone. The food was great and the prices are very reasonable. The staff were very friendly and helpful and service was very good. It was busy but not overly so despite being a Sunday morning and we got a nice table with comfy seating. There is also outdoor seating on the pavement which looked spacious enough.

This review is for Eastbound Medical Clinic, Bentleigh East VIC

verified email - 13 Mar 2009

I saw a female GP at Eastbound after reading the good reviews on this site. The clinic itself is new and very clean and modern. There is a really nice waiting area and playground for kids. I wasn't very impressed with the GP I saw however, she was not very knowledgeable and seemed quiet uncaring. Everyone else was lovely incl the receptionist and the nurse that takes blood. Nobody ever contacted me regarding the blood results so not sure if that is usual or not. Also I got charged for a double consult as we were a few mins over the allocated 10 or 15 mins...(really an extra 60 dollars or something ...mainly cause my Dr. was typing away slowly!!)

edit..I have been back since and saw a different GP who was dreadful. I needed a referrlal letter and also had other issues which I didn't even bother discussing as it was obvious he wanted me out of there as soon as possible. He didn't smile once and didn't ask me one question other than hand me the referral letter.

This review is for Baby Bunting, Bentleigh East VIC

I have been here a few times and always found it very difficult to find staff to assist. One girl didn't have a clue about the products and the other older woman was so grumpy. I bought a stroller which broke while under warranty and the man in the warehouse was helpful and provided a new one within a week. They have a pretty large range of products ( I was unable to buy a bedrail at a reasonable price mind you) and there is a good playarea for kids while you look around. Prices are average to above, I wouldn't expect to find a real bargain here.

Massive range of books and mags. good cafe where you can sit and read, kids get free babychino and always lots for them to read in the cafe. The staff are relaxed but helpful if required.

This review is for Ritchies Supermarket, Bentleigh East VIC

There is something depressing about shopping at Richies..everyone including the other shoppers and staff always seem to look so unhappy. Sounds crazy doesn't it?? I do continue to shop there however as its not as big as Coles etc and I can get in and out quickly and they are pretty well stocked with reasonable prices. And there is usually car parking right outside to speed things up even more!

This review is for Elwood Beach House Cafe, Elwood VIC

This could be such a good place to take the kids as there is an excellent playground in a large enclosed garden out the back but there are a few things that would have to change. I agree with an earlier reviewer that the service is really bad, You really do feel as though you are disturbing the staff just by being there and requiring food. There is also always a really bad smell near the outdoor seating. I did mention it to a member of staff one day and asked if they had a problem with their sewage or something but he wasn't slightly interested. Last time I ordered a pizza and tried to ignore the smell and sat outside but we were covered in flies and birds kept trying to steal our pizza. There always seem to be so many flies there compared with any other outdoor area. And lastly the food is pretty pricey for what it is . SO I guess the only good thing about it is the location and great playground. I wish it would improve because it is rare to be able to sit and have a coffee while your children play happily!
