I purchased a Scoopon voucher so the reality of what I am paying is somewhat artificial. Having said that, despite being a voucher client, the service is fantastic and if the price is right I would consider returning here for further treatments. I purchased $550 worth of IPL for $59.Amendment 14 Dec 2011: I would not suggest paying full price for any on-going service as I fear they won't be around long for you to get your money's worth. Service has gone down hill and staff seem to be disappearing.

I went in to get waxed and found that while they provided the service, discussion centred on IPL - and they are big on trying to sell it. They managed to convert my thinking when they had a 1/2 leg and Brazillian IPL special - the cost while a large outlay works out cheaper in the long run. If you buy 3 you get 3 free so you do save some cash. Not good for red heads or those with fair hair, but if like me you have dark hair and an olive complexion then IPL is definitely the way to go. They often have monthly specials so sign up to the emails or check their website to see what is on offer.

Stuart is a brilliant photographer who makes you feel at ease on one of the most stressful days of a bride's life! Despite the torrential rain leading up to my outdoor wedding, Stuart put me at ease, reassuring me we'd have fantastic photos. He didn't disappoint. He managed to capture all aspects of our day and was barely noticeable. We had the traditional family photos but most were natural and un-staged. We have beautiful images on the walls of our home and an exception wedding album to remind us of our wonderful day.

We have retained his services as our family photographer, as he's taken my pregnancy photos and also of our baby girl at 3 weeks old. We'll continue to use him, until he retires!

I called to have someone come out and give me a quote on plantation shutters. However, when I said my husband was not available and that I would be making the decisions, I was told that my husband had to be there as they are a custom made and they needed to explain how they worked. I was also told he would have to sign the contract. I asked what would happen if I was single... before getting an answer, I simply told the person on the other end of my call that I was highly offended that half-price shutters thought I was not intelligent enough to have someone give me a quote, or that I could enter into a contract. I hung up the phone. I would never ever use this company or even entertain a quote from them.

Great coffee and breakfasts are big. Pretty good value too. Deus Breakfast is $17 and then add 10% surcharge for weekends. It also gets really busy mid mornings and lunch times on the weekend but the atmosphere is great. You also have to enjoy communal dining tables as there are only a few individual tables. One slight problem that they could rectify with a trip to Ikea is to get some high chairs!!

This is a great place to take kiddies. It's extremely clean and great value for money. Despite the fact its a little out west, it is far far better and cleaner than Corner Cubby House. Free for under 1's. $10.50 for kids 1-10 and $4 for Adults but if you check the website there are often 2 for 1 vouchers or free Adult days so ensure you check the website!

Approximate cost: $15

The boys are fantastic. They are efficient and do great cuts and colours. The price is brilliant - so much cheaper than anywhere else in Sydney! I wish I had found them sooner.

Approximate cost: $25 Mens Cut. $30 Ladies Cut

A great place for a quick wax during your lunch break. Service is fast, effective and the price is right. Staff tends to turn over quite frequently as they are often Irish or English backpackers. Having said that they are all beauty therapists by training and do a really good job.

The Poached Stack is by far the best hot breakfast on offer in Sydney - unless you like meat but you can always get a side of bacon if you so fancy! The portions at Scrambled are large and filling. The coffee is fantastic and there are great juices on offer! It's always busy on the weekends but that is to be expected from a great place. Service is great - and even though there are always people waiting to be seated - staff never rush you out the door.
