I have bought a number of items from this store over the last couple of years. The sales staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about their products. The prices are the best in Adelaide, even when compared to the other electrical retailers sale prices. The only disappointment is that they no longer deliver for free.

I was a member for about 18months, but cancelled my membership because of the cost and the gym was no longer meeting my needs. The staff were friendly and mostly helpful. The sessions with the personal trainers were always rushed and their focus seemed to be on signing you up for more very expensive programs. Their knowledge and experience was very limited and they pushed too hard and consequently I injured myself. The classes were good and fun and the instructors competent. The car parking at busy times was dreadful.

The fruit and veg are always of the best quality and freshness. Even better than the many stalls at the central market in the city. The staff are always very helpful. It can get very busy at different times of the day. The prices are a bit on the higher side when compared to other shops, but I guess you pay more for the better quality, which I'm prepared to do.

Friendly staff and good service. Plenty to choose from the menu. Food well cooked and presented, although nothing exceptional. Prices reasonable. Good basic seafood. Would go there again.

Approximate cost: $25.00

This was my first visit to this salon. After being seated by the receptionist, she then brushed through my hair like she was looking for nits. This is even before the hairdresser saw me. I had a colour tint which was OK. But the haircut was very ordinary and the blowwave I had after was one of the worst I have ever had. It was something like out of the 70's. While the staff were friendly, the quality of work was not of a standard justifying $160.00.

Approximate cost: $160.00

I was a client of the salon for many years and was happy with the service most of the time. But the salon recently changed owners and my new hairdresser is not that good. Her cutting skills are less than edequate. The apprentices who do the colours seem to forget you and leave you with colour processing for too long.

Approximate cost: $160+

While the salon owner (and only hairdresser) was friendly and welcoming, she didn't fill me with a lot of confidence from the very beginning. She didn't offer any ideas or suggestions re hair colour and cut. MY grey hairs were not well covered with hair colouring. Her cutting skills were very basic. The haircut was uneven and less than adequate.

Approximate cost: $82.00
