The hairdresser Yumi was difficult to understand (they are a korean speaking salon) and I was worried I didn't get across the haircut I wanted but on the contrary it turned out exactly what I wanted and the techniques used were state of the art leaving me with one of the best haircuts I have had in years!! I am very very happy and will definately return- extra bonus was also the cheapest price around ;)

Excellent products. Have ordered footpatches and magnetic slim patches as well as other health beneficial products over many years. Order online and they are delivered promptly. All good until...you receive the wrong product. Their phones are NEVER manned. They NEVER return a phone call nor ANSWER an email. They will not respond nor assist in fixing their error- It is IMPOSSIBLE to get hold of them. I am Absolutely dumbfounded at the depth of their lack of customer service. Worst I have ever experienced!!!

This mechanics is super dooper clean and you don't have to go to all diffferent places to buy tyres, get a wheel alignment, brakes done etc, everything is done at the one place. I bought a voucher, they did a tune up full service even washed and vacuumed my car. Excellent service except for one thing. . .My dad changes the oil for me inbetween services, and uses a ryco oil filter and after i had my full service from these guys my dad noticed that the next time he changed the oil it was filthy and the same ryco oil filter was still on yet the workshop use a different brand! I phoned and asked them if they use ryco oil filters and they don't, they said not changing the oil must have been an oversite, but I am a bit suspicious whether they just thought they could get away with it. They didn't offer to change oil for me so have been reluctant to go back although everything else seemed okay.

I bought a Whypayfullprice voucher for mum &I. Doing thus is always a pampering &enjoyable experience but this was the complete opposite. When we arrived we found ourselves to be the only customers booked in & only ONE hairdresser on who did not introduce herself & was disinterested in gaining much knowledge in how we wanted our hair. The music was so loud she couldn't hear us, nor could Mum &I converse with each other. I had to sit and wait while I watched the worst colour application on my mum I have ever seen. Not even partitioning it like it's usually done. When my Mums hair was completed she had to wait over an hour for her to do me. The usual enjoyable experience being in a salon is maximum two hours which fly by yet we were here from 1.00pm-4.30pm. My mum walked out with yellow hair after asking for blonde and the next day discovered a big missed patch which prompted her to have to go the supermarket and put a packet of color over the top. BTW-This voucher they claimed to be worth $720 !!!! I have serious doubts whether this hairdresser we had is qualified &certainly does not present well. At no time did she offer coffee tea or a refreshment and the most astonishing thing was a blowave was not included in this apparent $720 worth of deluxe hair make over. The half head of foils it was meant to be- she did only a quarter of a head,and claimed it would normally cost $180.00!!! She also dropped colour on my clothes. I have had to book in elsewhere to get my hair cut & coloured as this hairdresser had no confidence in cutting whatsoever, the hair on the floor to sweep up from both mum and I would have fitted in my palm. My leggings are stained as is the sleeve of my top. The dead ends I wanted removed are still visible and I was really shocked at her tentative attempt at what she claimed was a $80.00 STYLE cut the voucher offered. In fact I think my hair has broken off where the colour was applied as bits are sticking up with split ends. The most shocking thing was our hair was only partly dried by bursting the hairdryer on us and when I asked her to use a round brush to straighten it she told me that would be $100.00 extra !!! ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS on top of the $80 they charge to cut it!! At this point the owner was parking her car out the front and this hairdresser ran out and asked if she was meant to blow dry our hair to compliment a "hair make-over"and claimed the owners response was a big NO! When I asked her to breakdown the $720.00 worth of hairdressing we were getting she claimed the head massage she did for two minutes WITHOUT any skill was worth $30.00 each and the so called “special nourishing treatment” she pumped from a container labelled “conditioner” sitting next to the bottle labelled “shampoo” was worth $70.00!! That she immediately rinsed off after the two minute supposed head massage. My hair felt extremely dry the next day - even home treatments I do give my hair more softness. The disappointment for both my mum and I is overwhelming. With group buy vouchers you get the good and the bad, we walked out looking worse than we did walking in.. shocking awful hair and our smiles long gone. The least I can say is the cleanliness and hygiene level seemed good here but they have only been operating two months. .doubt they will last.

This review is for Dr Chris Webster, Ashwood VIC

This Dr jumps from group buys sites selling botox vouchers cheap. He then doesn't answer the phone number on the voucher EVER. There is a mobile number on his answer machine which he also never answers nor returns calls. When eventually the group buy site made an appointment for me within his very limited hours of availability, he injects botox (or something)so sparingly there is no result. His bedside manner also is unfriendly and off hand.

This salon is completely dispicable. They keep jumping from group buy sites selling vouchers that they do not honor. They do not answer their phones nor reply to their emails. If you happen to get hold of the answer phone they do not return the call. Groupon who I purchased the voucher from will not refund me and keep telling me to contact Total Body despite me continually explaining I cannot get through. This saga has gone on for five weeks. I am going find out how to report both Groupon and Total body to consumer affairs!

Bought a new set top box and hard drive dvd recorder and set it up but couldn't get it to work completely preperly. Looked up review , and chose them becuase i didn't wanto to be charged for things i didnt need incase it was just my connecting ability and they sent a young guy Chris out to check my connections who adjusted them and all my tv appliances, vcr, etc properly. he still had to charge me the minimum service fee but everything is working perfectly now, he was fast and efficient and my mind is at ease.

excellent service from Emily who took much of her time to help me create a photo book with an enormous amount of patience. I had heard about photos made into a book, found teds camera on womow where anonymous said the staff had a lot of knowledge. had never laid out photos in this way. I got amazing help and knowledge and made my mum a book of photos from old negatives which she loved.

You know those huge hot air balloons you see above a building advertising its location?, these guys make them and will place anything you like to be advertised and for the length of time you want to advertise it..such as "now open"..with the name of your company. They don't come cheap! The balloons are huge and are easy to see for quite some distance so they are very useful for your business or event..and no you can't go hot air balooning in them :)
