This review is for The Were St Food Store, Montmorency VIC

My mother and I go quite regularly here for a coffee. They are always busy and a little slow with service but it is a nice spot.
There is a good arrangement of homemade food and I just have to recommend the lasagne - YUM! I sometimes pop in just to buy some to take home for later. A must try.
Dog friendly aswell, we often take out little dogs and sit outside.

Okay so I have been here twice and for a little shop in little old Montmorency? They are actually really good!
They had a fair price for fixing up my bike and my friend also takes her husbands bike there regularly.
I like to support a small business and they are friendly and know what they are doing here.
Only pain is backing your car in the driveway to pickup the bike, it's a bit awkward but other than that, great service!

This review is for Mehek Indian Restaurant, Greensborough VIC

The food is sooo good here, although the venue it self is not so nice to be honest. I have eaten inside the resturant once and we were the only ones there, it's quite bare and not that cozy.
BUT I get takeaway from here about every fortnight. They have really great food. It's always about a 45 min wait but never more than that.
Their butter chicken and beef meals are all really really good and you gotta get the coconut rice and the cheese & garlic naan bread which is really really addictive.
The man who delivers doesn't seem very friendly but they've always given the right change and never delivered anything wrong so I really have no complaints.
Only thing with delivery is it's a $35 minimum and they are pretty strict on that.

My real estate company changed for the rental I was renting. After the change they had a confusing payment system where mistakes were made and I was charged for their mistakes.
When this was raised with an agent, nothing was done and I was forced to pay two fee's on two different occasions.
The receptionists have always been very friendly and professional though and the office is new and quite nice.
A friend was selling their property through this real estate and ended up changing as they seemed as if they did not have enough knowledge of the market.

This review is for Just Lashes, Docklands VIC

Really, really do not go here. It was the first time I had ever had lash extensions done and I wanted the Natural Set, which is what I booked in for on a Saturday.
I got there and the girl had different lengths and curls laid out and asked me what I wanted. I said I didn't really know I just wanted them natural looking and pointed out a couple that I thought looked alright.
She was very rough with my eyes, not explaining what she was going to do and would pull at my lashes a lot.
Afterward, I looked in the mirror and they looked so spidery I couldn't believe it! I went up to the desk to pay, too nervous and uncomfortable to say anything and she said that willbe $180. I said no, $100 is for the natural set.
BecauseI had "selected" the curl and length I wanted, apparently that meant it was a "glam set" even though there was not one lash on every lash and they were wonky and truly didn't look glamorous or full.
Please do not go here because i sent pictures in and complained and theyr efused to do anything about it.
Do your research before getting lashes done and just because they have a big name, does NOT mean they are good!!!

Approximate cost: $180

This review is for Salamanca Market, Hobart TAS

This market was alright, I went and had a look around and it didn't really grab me.
The biggest put off is the lack of parking and we spent a good 40 minutes driving around trying to find somewhere, argh!
The stalls are alright, nothing out of the ordinary cheap and lovely that stood out.
Lots of the stalls are covered so it's good to still be able to go if it's wet.
Worth a look but I probably wont go back again, feel like I've seen it once and that's enough.

This review is for Mongrel Socks, Hobart TAS

These guys have a brilliant product, their socks are soooo thick and warm and are brilliant for bustly cold tasmania! A tight fit for some of my smaller shoes but the quality are really good and even after washing lots and lots they still hold really well. Great gift idea too!

This review is for The South African Shop, Caulfield South VIC

Oh my goodness I love this shop! I have never visited South Africa but you do get a feel for the place just by walking around the shop!
The staff are all lovely and there's a great little cafe there you can sit and eat or have a coffee.
The best part of it for me is the Biltong (beef jerky) and it is simply the best in the world. They have different options in flavour and firmness of the meat and I actually travel out of my way for 40 minutes just to buy from here!

A great hairdressors! Staff very friendly and open and honest and really felt like they listened to me when discussing what I wanted.
I did go here about a year ago though, so not sure if same staff still there.
The place is very big and open and easy to find. Prices are fair

This review is for Masci Hair & Spa, Eltham VIC

I only went here because I was given a $150 gift certificate. Wow did I have a great time! This is hairdressing on a different level.
You walk in and sit down at a large wooden bench where one of the girls sits down with you and one on one discusses what you are after. She showed me some colour pallets and after a chat she set me up in a lay back seat and did my hair whilst i relaxed with a magazine, over looking a large window looking onto a cute garden which was really beautiful.
They did such a good job on my hair colour and I usually struggle to find someone to understand what I want.
It is very expensive here but I have to say if you're fussy like me, it is well worth it and a very beautiful experience!
