Maybe a bit overpriced, but certainly of great quality.
The artisan behind these yummy creations strictly follows the Italian rules for a great gelato.

Approximate cost: $5

I love their gelato - truly Italian style.
But it's waaaay too expensive... for a gelato!
Also, the regular line is kind of a deterrent for me.

Approximate cost: $6

Not your best value for money place, but certainly a good niche shop where you can find some fresh yeast (I have never seen it elsewhere), occasional great bargains on fruit & vegies and the random Italian delicacy, although highly priced.

The worst hair cut I have ever had, also accompanied by one of the worst customer services ever experienced. 

After duly booking my visit over the phone to redeem a voucher, I was made to wait a good half hour before finally being invited to take a seat, only to be left waiting another 20 minutes before I finally decided to approach someone to check whether they would like me to come back another time.

Because it was clear that I was somehow annoyed by the wait, a senior stylist tried to step in and offered to take care of me herself - specifying that she does not normally have customers with a voucher, because her haircuts cost $150+. Well noted, then before reaching the wash basins, she told me she was going to charge me extra for the length of my hair (not even touching my shoulders at the time) claiming that it was long, and that "your hair touches your neck, of course you have to pay more". I was there with a Groupon indeed and the fine print only stated extra charge for long hair (over the shoulders).

So we started arguing about this clause and eventually I said that regardless of the Groupon, which I would have gotten refunded anyway, the customer service was the most appalling issue: the fact that instead of trying to "win me" as a new customer, they treated me like I was just a $19 voucher hence unworthy of their attention (the wait, the rudeness, etc.).

It must have been at that point that she had the inspiration. She changed her attitude at once, even tried to apologize and said she would still cut my hair without extra charge. Of course I was hesitant, realistically I only wanted a mere trim, nothing major or too complicated - something that could have really fallen within the $19 bracket.

Well, without much surprise she went on and just randomly cut my hair in the worst possible way, in my opinion intentionally doing a bad job to get back at me. I thanked her, left and ended up getting my hair beautifully fixed elsewhere.

For these reasons, and the fact that whilst waiting I personally witnessed the staff mocking some other customers, I would never recommend this business to anyone

This review is for Cleaning Mate, Auchenflower QLD

I've used Cleaning Mate at least 4 times since 2012. Every time I moved, they were my cleaners for carpets (and upholstery once).
On one occasion I had a nasty lessor complaining about the job and without hesitation they came back and fixed the issue with the lessor - at no extra cost for me.
I have always found their prices extremely competitive.
Their customer service is great.
One flaw I may mention is that on a couple of occasions they were late, but that's really all for me!

Approximate cost: $100

I would certainly recommend this business to those seeking a not-too-complicated work AND on a budget.
I regularly go there for a quick trim or shampoo+blowdry and hardly ever leave unsatisfied.
Recently I even got a gorgeous upstyle for simly $25 (as opposed to $100+ everyone else asks you for these days).
Just don't go if in a rush, and don't always expect your upmarket salon results.

Approximate cost: $17
