After being with this pharmacy for over ten years I am sorry I have to find a new pharmacy. Since…read morethe beginning of this year my prescription has been delaying for over five days. Last month I was told they were too busy so they can't order my medication for me again. I had to go about three days without medication. And the pharmacy told me I can even go five to seven days without medication. And this month also because of the bank holiday they couldn't order my medication. When I phoned them to find out they disconnected me after almost 20 minutes of waiting. I phone again and the reply was pharmacist is too busy call back in two hours. What happened to this amazing pharmacy. I am done now. Thanks again for the previous services

Cameolord try to make it as easy as possible offering prescription delivery and collection, my experience was simple and quick and I was able to get my medication in minutes so I was rather pleased. I normally use Pharmacy2U for my meds as they deliver it to my door and it us much easier to manage my medication online but if I ever need emergency medication, I would definitely return! 4*

This Superdrug is a handy stop off if the toiletries offered in Lidl are not your taste. It has a…read moreparticularly handy location and prevents you having to trawl all the way into the city to find a pharmacist slash make up and shower gel stockist. Although I prefer Boots by far, due to its incredibly generous advantage card scheme, Superdrug is ever so slightly cheaper and often has more offers on such as 'buy one get one free' which are always handy when you're a penniless student. The disadvantages of this store is the fact they don't offer bags and the huge misleading sign in the window which says 'students get ten percent off'... if you've purchased an N.U.S Extra card. That's right, your student card officially issued by your university with photo I.D and N.U.S stamped on the bag will not suffice to prove you are a student. Poor show, Superdrug! What utter misers...

Ahhhhh Lloyds.

Though it's always, always great to have these services offered for free and with very little judgement, so close to halls, she did take exception at having to sit in the 'Corner of Shame'; two green chairs surrounded by leaflets. Anyway, Corner of Shame aside, this Lloyds sells everything you'll ever need, and almost always has deals on bubble bath. I swear the whole time this was my local pharmacy, Herbal Essences were on BOGOFs. They also stock all the, er, flavours of dry shampoo. The staff are all helpful and knowledgeable, and will give great advice on the cold/flu remedies, as well as other non-prescription sutff. As far as prescriptions go, they are efficient and quick, and when I ran out of the pill in first year, and didn't have time to go to the doctor, they happily dispensed me another pack (though at a charge) on the strength of past prescriptions etc. I thought this was a really nice touch; and it shows how helpful and nice the staff are.

I've never had one, but my mate did, a quick visit to Lloyds a month later and he was fine. Not for me that, I'm a stable man.

If I wanted a cure for stress or depression the last place I would seek one out would be in the…read moreArndale Centre. Merely entering the Arndale brings on acute anxiety and feeling of want to end it all. Dr.Herbs sells Chinese remedies for everything from spots to lower back pain to anxiety. I am all for natural, organic foods but forgive me if I am a little cynical when it comes to herbal healing. I myself suffered a slipped disc three years ago in my lower back and if I am honest not even morphine substitutes could relieve pain ...it took keyhole surgery to eventually fix it! If only I had known that a few herbs would have relieved the chronic pain I was in ....hmmm. In some situations I understand that anything is worth a try. When my Friend was trying to quit smoking she tried everything and anything, however in the end it was good old fashioned will power and not the power of some flower :)

It goes on to say- 'From skin problems like eczema and psoriasis to back pain and sprains, we offer an all natural cure'- as far as I know all medicines are 'natural'. But the clincher has got to be- 'We also specialise in quitting smoking, losing weight, overcoming depression and relieving stress.' Modern science couldn't do it, heck Kerry Katona and all her millions couldn't do it but a little outlet in the fucking Arndale centre can keep us all thin and sane- at this rate they'll have an infomercial on a cable channel in no time!

Its aptly situated, as you may need a pharmacy to assist your recovery if you (surely accidentally) visit the bar next door 'Czech Bar', which is a pit of despair. See my review. There's nothing really remarkable about this pharmacy, though it does have a selection of chocolates kept in a fridge. I don't know if anyone else suffers as I do from the affliction of only liking cold chocolate. If you do, you'll know that the major symptom is that you just can't buy chocolate from a newsagents or confectioner and munch it straight away. It just doesn't taste the same warm. For me, some chocolate can be tolerated warm, but some chocolate bars, which are lovely cold, are actually completely ruined when even lukewarm (above 6 degrees). Examples include Toblerone, Kit Kat and Bounty. If you do suffer from this condition, its on the list of medical problems this pharmacy can cure.

The store seemed nice inside, the product range was OK but I did find the selection of certain items, mainly male items such as the Bulldog Skincare range to be non-existent, the same could be said for gift-sets, which seemed non-existent again, both of which Boots nearby had an ample selection of. The store does have a Pharmacy which is useful, it is one of the few pharmacies within Liverpool One. 3* - Average store, selection could be much better and there is better nearby, but one of the better choices in the main part of Liverpool One.

The regeneration of Hulme in the late'80's and early '90's brought many invaluable businesses to…read morethis area and facing Hulme market, Afro World is one of them. I am a curly girl with tresses which vary from sleek and shiny on a good day, to a frizzy halo- depending on the weather. Although certain high street chains and chemists have woken up to the fact that yes, we are a multicultural Britain with a diverse population who have individual needs, their range of products for people of colour can be very limited. This is not a political rant, it is a cold, hard, consumer fact. Afro World is a saving grace and "limited" is not a word that applies here. Having entered its hallowed doors, you have never seen so many hair and skin products in your life! There are rows and rows stocking brands such as Soft n Free, Dark n Lovely, Ultra Sheen and Pink, to name but a few- seriously the shop sells hundreds of them. The name of this store is a tad misleading as this mecca also sells makes for European and Asian hair types. You can buy a good quality real hair wig for only £29, extensions, and curly or straight pony tails line the shelves and offer you the ability to alter your appearance every day of the week. Handy for Geminis or international spies. The owners really know their stock inside and out. This is an incredible talent, considering how many lines are sold there, and they are always on hand to give you help and advice. Not many men ( with the obvious exception of hairdressers) are able to discuss with you whether you suit a wavy weave or a head full of corn rows in a truly macho fashion. Afro World also sells a good range of make-up for Asian and Afro-Caribbean skin and various hair accessories . It is open Mon-Sat 9am-6pm and on Sunday from 11am-5pm. Be aware that the shop is closed for prayer on Fridays from 1.30-2.30pm. So if you fancy a wicked weave, exceptional extensions or just need to stock up on your Kirby grips then this shop has it all.
