A great branch of this store with a good choice of toiletries, cosmetics, medicines and much more…read morebesides. I like the extensive skin care range and I sometimes buy gifts here too it's well worth a browse! Sometimes there are special offers and discounted items too, like the Maybelline 3 for 2 offer on at the moment. You can also buy gift token cards for other stores including iTunes (as I did the other day which solved a birthday present problem)! Open until 5.30pm every weekday except Sundays when it opens at 11.30am and closes at 4.30pm. Found in the main pedestrian street of town but there are plenty of nearby car parks.

Good store for supply of toiletries, kinda like a down market boots but in these times of econmic…read morepressure will probably be one of the companies who get busier. Situated in the middleof kimarnocks main shopping stretch it couldnt be better positioned. Has some good offers in the windows and is quite a nice shop to visit. Unlike many budgest chains the products arent pile in every spare space but only on shelves or in baskets. Well worth a visit to save a few pounds

Had an express manicure CND Vinylux and I got the bottle to take away as part of my pedicure…read morepackage. It didn't even last 48 hours - hands AND feet. Unacceptable. Owner's response was for me to take the time to send photos. Said problem could be the health of my natural nail, how heavy handed I am and how I care for my nails. Quite insulting really. She also said she expected some wear and tear in less than 48 hours. I'm not a nail technician but I was shocked at that. I believe the product was sub standard. I was asked to choose a display bottle in the window. Was it old or damaged by the sunlight? That's more likely. To rectify the issue I was offered 2 appointments during the day (they know I work so that wasn't possible). Next offered was 10.30 at night! I ask you! Final offer was a call at 8pm to go there and then. Again, unsuitable. I gave the varnish to a friend to try who also had it chip within 24 hours. I've been happy with the salon's services for years. Especially massages. So this is extremely disappointing. Owner called to say she acknowledged I chose not to use them again. There are plenty of other salons but she must be doing very well to not care about losing a loyal customer who's always given good reviews. Shockingly poor customer service.

Small branch of Boots but with a great pharmacy and a good range of products to buy. The store is…read morewell lit and everything arranged in an eye catching way, with plenty of space between the aisles. You can buy medicines over the counter, cosmetics, toiletries and even attractive Christmas gifts in decorative packaging. One thing I hadn't seen before, when I called in yesterday, was the huge catalogue on a tall table near the counter (a bit like the ones in Argos) where you can browse through an enormous range of gifts and other products and order them, to be collected later. They also offer the service where you can have your own photos put on mugs, coasters, keyrings, etc, plus large canvas prints.

Steak pie at m&s kilmarnock I purchased a steak pie in the…read morekilmarnock branch for my xmas dinner. Had past experience when my mother in law from paisley (madge) would give it to my wife and i for xmas dinner proudly stating it was from marks and spencer and indeed it was a good pie but that was over twenty years ago.Now it has a pastry bottom and sides not counting the top. That must save on the steak but keeps the weight the same. Beef content twenty four percent, water and fat content seventy six percent. Very stodgy pie, i left about twenty percent of fat in the tray. How can that be described as a quality steak pie i will never know. Will make my own for new year. In comparison to the big stores in the town.m&s steak pie had the least amount of meat in the pie and at £4 per pie i feel i was ripped off.

This branch of M&S is one I use a lot and often call in there. It's in the main shopping street in…read moreKilmarnock, which is pedestrianised, although there is a car park at the back of the store (easy to get into from the one-way system around the town). It's all on one level so not a huge store but a reasonable size nevertheless. There's the usual good quality range of clothes for all the family and there are some great gifts there too. I like the cosmetics and toiletries (non tested on animals), especially the new coconut range which is surprisingly inexpensive (£2 for a bottle of moisuriser for example) so I have been stocking up lately! There's a great food hall at the back of the store and they sell flowers and newspapers there too. You'll find a small cafe tucked away behind the tills (easy to miss it altogether if you don't know it's there) but I find it disappointing as with the cafes at other M&S stores. The coffees and teas are pleasant enough but the seating area is basic and crammed together and there's not enough choice in snacks or meals.

You can also buy a fairly good range of over-the-counter medicines, plus vitamins, suncreams, cosmetics, and more. There are also some very nice and fashionable sunglasses for sale. I noticed some special offers in here today, especially the 'buy one get the second one half price' on some products. The staff seemed very friendly and helpful.

As one of the original shops to be established since conception of the Rivergate Shopping…read moreCentre,Boots is instantly recognisable as one of the brand names in pharmacy products.The store is quite a reasonable size and is always well stocked.One thing I do miss about it is ,in days gone by they used to have fantastic window displays all year round but particularly at Xmas time,an idea I think would attract customers back into this one time thriving store.For a few reasons Boots seems to have suffered from a downturn in trade over the past few years and the current credit crunch will not be helping matters.The staff instore as you would expect from a Boots establishment are all well trained and knowledgeable however all the training and knwhow does not go far when the store you're working in is just not busy.For Xmas they have their festive promotions but will still find it difficult to compete with supermarkets competition.
