I rang up and was offered an appointment that fit in with my lunch hours. The staff were incredibly courteous and professional. I had an eyelash tint and was asked several times if I was comfortable or needed anything.
The foyer is scrupulously clean and modern, with restful music playing softly in the background.

Cheap tasty dishes you can customise, or choose straight from the menu. There are low-fat, gluten free and vegetarian options and they do a roaring trade in take away.

The honey here is fresh and locally produced. It is much better value than store-bought. You are able to sample the different varieties available before you purchase and there are a range of sizes available.

The staff here are very welcoming and the food is very good. It is closer to what you get in Thailand, than what people expect to be served at a take-away. The service is extremely quick and efficient, and the prices are great. It is a really cost effective night out.

Approximate cost: $15

There is a statement on the window that says "World's best Fish & Chips" and I believe they are right. We have tried take-away from suburbs all across Melbourne, and these guys really know how to cook fish. They have huge salmon fillets that they will grill for you and they come out succulent and tasty. I have eaten at restaurants that can't cook fish that well.

Approximate cost: $around $6.00 per large grilled salmon fillet

The lemon tarts are to die for! You can come in to Sunbeam and the baker will pipe any words you wish on top of your cake in chocolate. They have an amazing selection of home-made cakes that are top-quality.

If you want a truly amazing hair style, these guys can't be beaten. For a wedding or corporate event this is definitely the way to go. They have won dozens of awards, and can offer advice on what style would suit each individual.

This is a great place to take the children during the school holidays, for a birthday party or just as a fun exercise. It is a creative way to spend an afternoon and you get to use your artwork forever. I made all my loved ones individual hand-pained mugs for Christmas that they can enjoy every day and think of me.

Approximate cost: $10 firing fee plus cost of greenware

This business has drop-in hours where no appointment is necessary. This works well for me. The veterinarian is extremely gentle and gains the trust of he animal he is tending.

I needed a lot of work done in a hurry and the dentists worked together to fit in with me, and get me out of pain fast. They even juggled their lunch breaks to be able to work around my commitments.
