A great all-round dentistry business that specialises in general and cosmetic dentistry. They use the "Invisalign" system of braces and the "Brite Smile" teeth whitening system. I have used both and highly recommend them. They have three resident dentists and friendly caring assistants.

This is a small legal firm that offer the typical range of services (wills, deceased estates and probate, personal injury claims, family law, etc.).

I've been going to Beyond Blokes for my haircuts for about two years. The business is a hybrid between the old fashioned barber and the more trendy salon, so I feel quite confident and comfortable whenever I go there.
