Coco & Buff are now my regular beauty therapists. They are passionate, care and do a great job. They also offer hairdressing by Jennifer (the owner) although I have not tried that offering. A great local business!
Approximate cost: $50
Alter It Camberwell is part of a chain, so the workmanship is good and the turnaround is quick. Service is satisfactory, but I feel the prices are too high. I guess I'm just looking for a friendly local tailor/seamstress/repairer who doesn't charge $65 to take in a dress.
Approximate cost: $65
I'm loving that Ch'i uses organic products only - including hair dye! My hair always looks and feels healthy, strong and vibrant after a visit here. My new best hairdresser :)
Approximate cost: $75
Fabulous range of old time favourite childrens gifts and extensive dollhouse/furniture offering. Very knowledgeable staff, willing to go the extra mile. I'll definitely be going back.
Approximate cost: $5 - $500
I first used Biome when I lived in Brisbane, and still do now that I've relocated to Melbourne as luckily for me, their excellent service extends to delivering to VIC!! Yay!
I love Biome because they have a great range of eco-friendly products, ranging from household cleaning, to drink bottles, to quirky gift ideas for that something a bit different.
Their product knowledge is fabulous and no question is too silly.
Their prices are reasonable, as eco-friendly products tend to have a slightly higher price tag but I think they offer value within that landscape.
A bit of a go-to shop for me, and would thoroughly recommend Biome to anyone.
Approximate cost: $5 - $150
Chocolate heaven!
A really cute, small shop that offers the most delicious chocolates with interesting flavour combinations. Recently I've noticed they also do gelato - and it's just as good. Service is friendly and I don't usually have to wait long.
A small, local pharmacy that delivers on what you would expect from such an offering. The staff are very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. Scripts are done straight away and the most I've had to wait is 2 minutes, how refreshing!
Good range of other products available also.
A really good daycare facility with staff that care and also respect the dietary choices our family has made. They have shown a great deal of patience with my son, who was incredibly upset initially. Now he can't wait to go.
Approximate cost: $93 a day
We recently relocated to Victoria, and have been searching for an intimate restaurant with fabulous service and a delicious menu. Well our search is over. Have been 4 times in as many months and the service is always impeccable, the atmosphere fabulous and the food... The food is divine. Caffe e Cucina is our new favourite restaurant of all time. Thank you for sharing your love with us.
Approximate cost: $30
I originally started using Lisa's Staffing Solutions when Lisa owned it, it has recently been taken over by Brooke Parsons and I am really impressed with Brooke's professionalism and responsiveness. We now have a regular babysitter we love!
Approximate cost: $18 an hour and an $18 booking fee
