I only come here because it's the only mall in the area…read more Good thing it has H&M, however, you don't find the full collection or all the sizes that you find in the other stores in the city. Zara is opening soon (yay!) It has McDonalds. The italian restaurant in the first floor along with the eiscafe are good choices

The overall mall is fine, as far as German malls go. There's an h&m, Zara, Douglas, etc. but it's…read morenothing to write home about. Since I can't find an entry for the nail salon, I'm writing a review for it here. It's called L.A. Nails, "American Style" (good one). The staff is super unfriendly, and doesn't greet, acknowledge, or speak to you unless spoken to. I came in looking to get tips in a neutral and opaque color. After the nail tech convinced me to get a different technique than I originally wanted, she began manhandling my nails to the point where my nail beds began to bleed. She then proceeded to put NAIL GLUE on the wounds. The color selection was extremely poor, and she tried to sell me a tacky pink color instead of the beige I wanted. She treated me like I was an imbecile for pointing out that this color wasn't beige, and did a horrible job applying it. I pointed out several spots she missed, which led her to talk pointedly to her colleague in a language I did not understand. It was quite clear that she was talking about me, however. Finally, they do not take card, and the advertised discount for first-time customers for some inexplicable reason did not apply to me (the first-time customer). Not even remotely worth the 40€, and I sincerely hope I don't get an infection from the nail glue on my open cuts. Awful, awful place.

On my fourth day in Berlin, I went to the Dudes Factory !…read more One star for the shop : The Dudes Factory is like a gallery. Clean and clear, all you have to do is open your eyes and you will finally see :D One star for the artwork : On the left handside, you take a sit and decide to go through one or all of the press books and decide which design you like best. Actually this is not possible. So you end up with at least 3 or 4 designs you like. One star for the concept : Once you have your design, you can decised on what support I want it to be printed on. Plenty of options (tee-shirt, hoody...) You can do that at the shop or from home. Comfortably sitted in front of your computer, browse through their website and try different combinations. You can play with the colour of the design, the size, place one or several designs. Just do it ! One star for the production : The printing of your personalized design is done... at the shop ! Love it :D One star for the website : Have you checked it ? Userfriendly and so cool. What else can I say... I can say www.dudes-factory.com ! Anything else to add ? Yes, you can also check their facebook page Dudes Factory and enjoy the cool pics. If you are around between now and 28th August 2011, give me a shout and I can meet you there XD
