I have had gel nails (real, liquid gel: not acrylic with a gel on top) applied by Tammi, who works late hours Thurs-Sun. She is really professional, gentle and friendly. Value is acceptable ($60 for a full set), and they last on me at least 3-4 weeks.

Dr Mani is a really pleasant dentist. The clinic is easy to find, good location. All staff were pleasant and professional without being cold. I claimed the fees on my insurance at the clinic so there was no wait to get my rebate.

Mark and his assistant came to pick up a large, heavy mattress and 5 bags and boxes of junk and garden waste after a late, panicked call on a Sunday afternoon as I was moving house. They were the only people willing to do the (very simple and quick) job given only a couple of hours notice, and were really friendly (even emptied the council rubbish bin for me as it was really full). Great service, very reasonable price.

Approximate cost: $60

Food was fresh and served fast, service was very friendly, efficient and pleasant. Great location and concept, really enjoyed a substantial dinner for 2 with drinks for $70, in an area of the city which usually offers really poor everything for saps too tired/drunk/lazy to search for better.

Approximate cost: $15

Good service, good products, and there's always a spot available. Full set of acrylics costs $40-50, refills cost $20-25. great location too!
they are the best and the cheapest in the area.

This review is for Just Cheap Cars, Preston VIC

Got a great car, low k's, in perfect condition for cheaper than anything I'd seen in Sunshine or at Carcity Ringwood (which was awful- see other review). they promised to undertake all the items marked E and I on the RACV comprehensive check at their expense, which cost over $1000.

polite, honest, quick service, very happy!

This review is for Great Earth Health Shop, Melbourne VIC

great earth (especially the elizabeth st store) is the best and cheapest health food/cosmetics store in melbourne. great location, especially since it's right next to vitamin me, the other best health food/cosmetics/supplies store in town!

The women working here have given me a great boost to get into exercise! I have been going for a few months now and feel great! the lunchtime classes are really fun, and the facilities are good. never too crowded.

This review is for Gems & Beads International, Collingwood VIC

I've joined as a member because the discounts are pretty good. It costs $10 per year, and you get at least 10% off most purchases as well as valuable members-only offers. The range of beads is good, location is good, and they offer free beading classes twice a week- you only have to buy a minimum of $50 of supplies to be in it.

I am not happy with the level of service though. The lady (the owner?) is not very attentive, and clearly is nice to some customers and almost rude to others. Unfortunately there aren't many bead shops around, so I will keep going here when I am desperate, but I'm going to buy supplies online from now on!

Lovely food, super fresh, great service, and they even do free home delivery. The desserts are great- try the Tab tim Grob (water chestnuts in jelly and coconut sauce). I eat here about twice a month, and have never been disappointed- all the dishes are lovely. Nice decor as well!
