Not only can you you shop here if you are in the hair and beauty trade, but also if you are a…read moregeneral member of the public. This is a fantastic shop for all things hair and beauty related and all products are a lot cheaper than main stores. I bought a fantastic pair of hair straighteners here and because they were salon quality they were the best I had ever bought and so much cheaper than other pairs I have had. You can also get loads of different types and shades of hair dyes and colouring accessories, false nail acrylics and kits, hair brushes, tweezers to name but a few items. If you are a student or professional working ina salon you can get a trade card which entitles you to even greater discounts. This shop is definitely worth a look for a bargain.

One of the few places in Dumfries which stocks a small, but lovely, selection of maternity wear -…read moreyay! The stores new larger location makes room for a much wider range of clothing and accessories and now includes children's wear in addition to the usual range of funky shoes, bags, and clothes to work or party in. Friendly staff and decent sized changing rooms make your shopping experience a great one. You can always find something to suit you in New Look no matter what your style. Great clothes that don't break the bank.

I love this New Look. It is as big as any I have ever been in, even in cities. It has a huge…read moreselection of women's clothing and also does mens and kids which I think is fairly new to them. They have a great shoe department too which I can lose days in! As the store is so big they must have something for everyone. They have a number of different ranges and be it work clothes, going out outfits or comfies you are bound to get something here. Prices are good and quality is decent for the price. Plus the usually have a sale rail which can be somewhat enticing!

Usually I would say DP's clothes are reasonable priced, decent quality and great for work, every day wear. They also do nice costume jewellery and accessories and pretty good shoes. However, this store is quite small and doesn't ever seem to have much variety. I would say it is ok if you are looking for a top for work but doesn't offer much else. It is a shame because the Burton's up the stairs seems to have much more stock.

Since there is no Ross here in the UK, you'll have to settle for the TK Maxx reviews. :)…read more Like it's sister store in the US, it is a discount department store, with the usual suspects, Fashion, makeup and homegoods. I did my normal prowling around and didn't find much I was interested in in the make up, but I did find a lovely light weight duster in the clothing racks for $14, Up stairs in Home goods, I found myself a set of Nessie Pins (stick pins that form the Loch Ness Monster) a colouring book and a set of tea tins from the UK. Every thing Was Reasonable and came to under 25 pounds when I checked out. Heck I even picked up a luggage scale so I can pack efficiently!

Good selection of items at reduced prices comparred to RRP…read more Some of the RRP's do seem a bit high in the first place but are probably right for good brands. Love the kitchen and homewares section lots of knives, pans etc at good prices, some good ornaments/fancy goods, clocks etc too. Look looking there in my quest for things shabby chic. They sometimes have a good wee selection of pet items. Not all sizes, but if you can find something in your dogs size etc then they are usually a good price. Ginormous selection of mens clothes and accessories!!! Lots of ladies clothes as well, and often some gorgeous prom/fancy dresses. Not so good if you are plus size though as next to nothing suitable which really lets the store down in that respect. Upstairs has a good selection of toys, especially if you are doing your Christmas shopping. Baby section seems to be going downhill since it moved upstairs, it used to have a great selection of bottles, sterilisers, bedding etc but now that has greatly reduced. Dont like the idea of having it upstairs as any ladies with bigger double buggies may not fit in the tiny lift! Should havew kept the mens stuff upstairs like before, imo. Over all i love TK Maxx and have been able to get some bargains on kids shoes before now especially good brands such as hush puppies school shoes etc. One thing that really really annoys me about TK Maxx though is the stupid price labels! They are rediculously fiddly to remove, as they fall apart in tiny bits. Ok maybe its so people dont swap labels in the shop i dunno, but it was VERY annoying to peel them off when wrapping Christmas presents !! TK MAXX get rid of those bloomin awful price stickers/labels pleaseee!!!

I was looking for something specific, but they didn't have it, so instead I decided to look for nylons, HUZZAH! They had those, and reasonable. Their clothing wasn't the best, but I did find makeup wipes and some other things as well. I was impressed that they carry bras in larger cup sizes.

You can pick up so much for £1 - socks, shampoo, sweets, gifts - I have had some great bargains in there. If you need something for DIY or for the garden, something for the kitchen or a beauty accessory, it's always your best bet to pop in there and see if they have it, you may well be suprised. I love shopping in Poundland, the staff are really nice and there is no charge for the carrier bags, even though your purchase might only be £1 - it's a great shop with loads to see.
