Had an urgent need for some engraving on a trophy for primary school. Presentation tomorrow. Very…read morehelpful gentleman in the shop listened to my sad tale of woe, stopped what he was doing and did my engraving for me right away. I was most impressed. A very helpful guy who was determined to assist me and ensure that the trophy was ready for the awards ceremony. So grateful for his assistance. Can I give him more than 5 stars? And the cost was really not a lot for such grand service. Sadly I guess no one else bothers recording good service these days.

Jamie, who heads up the business is so friendly and puts together exactly what your business needs to remain within pest control guidelines. You would be a fool not to hire the complete professional service that is Mantis.

Go for Mantis who cares about your business staying safe and clean :-) a big thumbs up from Contento Deli. We will be customers of Mantis for many years to come :-)

Whilst I only have experience of Holmlea Road Shoe Repairs from a visit with E-Bot to repair what is referred to as her "fancy shoes", it was enough to confirm to me that this kind of business was what made Britain great all those years ago. Organised chaos, and a wonderfully eccentric old cobbler who gave E a stern lecture for not looking after her footwear properly. This guy knows his stuff, and is both quick and a fair bit cheaper than Timpson's.

I have been using my Marc Jacobs leather messenger bag for the better part of 3.5 years until the…read morestrap decided it had enough and split. Unfamiliar with any cobblers or bag repairers in the city, the other half brought my bag to the lovely eccentric gentleman to be mended. It's a solid 3-stars because the stitching was a bit wonky (uneven - it's a reversible tote, and now it can't be used on the other side because the stitching is off the original line) and it's not an exact colour match, but it was only £7.50 to repair - so I can't really complain. The repair itself is fairly solid. The service was quick, and he was lovely. Future visits and other repairs (boots??) may dictate whether this 3-star review could become 4-stars.

I would strongly recommend Alter Girls Glasgow as Carol Meechan gave me the dress of my dreams for…read moremy wedding. After being cancelled last June - our wedding went ahead on the 3rd July this year at Bowfield Hotel. As we had been in lockdown I was really panicking I would not get my dress altered in time - I wanted to add burgundy lace motifs to back of my dress and along the train. When I contacted Carol she was so friendly and said she would fix my dress in time for my wedding which I was absolutely delighted about. When I met her she immediately put me at my ease and her professionalism was second to none. She also added in bust cups, and took it in at the sides. I also found her to be one of the nicest and genuine people I have met. Not only did she give me my dress of my dreams she also made some alterations to my new husband's suit for which we are very grateful for. I cannot thank her enough and would say if you need any alterations to your wedding dress do not go anywhere else as Carol and Alter Girls is the only place to give you the dress of your dreams. Huge thank you Anne Rowand/Drummond

I decided to get a different wedding dress 4 weeks before my wedding. Carol was so accommodating…read moreand squeezed me in during a very bus period, gave me advise on what could be done to the dress I already had vs the new dress I got (we went with the new dress). I have scarring on my back which I am very self conscious about, and the dress I got was strapless, so she worked her magic to add fabrice to the back, chest and sleeves, and even managed to match the lace already on the dress. She made sure each piece of lace was attached to exactly cover any prominent scarring and didn't finish until I was completely happy. I felt flawless on my wedding day thanks to the hard work and attention from the staff here. She even gave me recommendations on other aspect of my outfit when I was worried about my shape which helped dramatically. Cannot recommend them enough! The studio is bright and airy and very clean, although it's a wee bit of a maze to get there within the building. They are cash only though so when it comes to paying make sure you bring money with you.
