Communication techniques in Croydon

“I started going to this club when I was 10 years old (nearly 15 years ago) and it's still the best exercise club I've ever been to - there's something for all ages, abilities and fitness levels. Classes are fun and varied, with a really supportive atmosphere. I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to boost their confidence, improve their fitness or just try something new.”

“LatinFlow is an amazing community tucked in the heart of Croydon. A year ago I walked into a class knowing nobody there and only having done a single salsa taster 15 years before. One year on I have found lovely group of people who I look forward to seeing every week, and have had what I suspect will be a lifelong love of salsa fostered. Agnesa is an incredibly supportive teacher who takes you from absolute beginner to being confident with all of the basic steps, then hands you over to Thalia and Pedro who can guide you all the way up to expert standard. I cannot recommend this class highly enough.”

“Came after work so quite late but the guy inside, Hamid, was really kind. I didn’t give a really good description what hairstyle I want to have, but even without a description he absolutely nailed it and I love the style he cutted. I will definitely come again and can highly recommend to everyone.”

“Had a wonderful conversation with Dr Maha on Friday. So kind, reassuring and thorough. Don’t hesitate to contact them, they are unbelievably helpful. Communication and care is great! Highly highly recommend.”

“I have been visiting Centred Health for many years, and would highly recommend Sia. She has treated me for lots of different issues from fertility, to back issues and even stress. Every treatment has resulted in a positive outcome. She is very insightful and manages to pinpoint the issue every time even when it may not be obvious. And the needles don’t hurt at all (for anyone who is anxious about this).”

“Our daughter dances at Caterham Dance School with Clara and Damian and their reputation for excellence is very well-deserved. From trying out a cha cha in the children's beginner class, through to competing in juvenile ballroom and latin competitions, they have been really supportive at every step - tailoring teaching and advice on technique to her abilities as they develop, and continuing to inspire her love of dance!”

“I’ve had a tattoo by Rosie and it was a great experience! The studio was clean, Rosie was easy to talk to and checked how I was feeling, and the tattoo looks amazing!!”

“Visited Neel’s whilst working away from home and left very impressed and even returned the next day. Yuliya is a really talented tattooist. Kind and honest service and very reasonable pricing!”

“Thinking about finding a long-term barbershop you can trust? Look no further (trust me). Ever wondered why your current barber has a Slicksville shrine that he prays to every morning? You’re not alone, I’ll try to explain why: I’ve been going to Slicksville for 12 years now, there’s no other place to go. It’s as simple as that. In that time, I’ve had multiple relationships but none has outlasted the relationship I have with Slicksville, probably because they always got jealous that I’d talk about Mario and George in my sleep. Slicksville is more than just a place you go to get your haircut, it’s the whole experience. You won’t find friendlier people with their impressive skill set. They can’t do enough for you and you’ll always leave with a smile on your face, and a 10/10 trim of course. I used to live locally but now I live hours away - I still make the journey because you won’t find a better experience anywhere else. There’s a reason your barber gets his haircut at Slicksville!”

“Ironing I have been using Thoughtful Services from their opening, a few or more years back and although I'm not a weekly customer, I ALWAYS use them when I'm up against keeping up with my ironing, they are professional, responsive and the ironing, like the first time I used them, are fantastic, first class, thank you Thoughtful Services, and thank you delivery man, again professional, helpful and, I even got a call,a few hours before it was delivered telling me how much it would be, enabling me to have money ready. I recommend to anyone and if I need other services in the future, I will visit here first. SUE”

“had a great experience being tattooed here by the lovely kieran, very sentimental tattoos done with care and precision. the space is very welcoming with artists chatting to you, the owner is lovely and it was just an extremely chilled tattoo experience in an inclusive space. Highly recommend!”

“My artist Jake was very welcoming , friendly and funny . Very reassuring And a great artist to do my tattoos . Eye for ink is the best tattoo shop. Great banta and give great tattoo aftercare advice . I highly recommend Jake .”

“Best goat curry I've had in London! Fantastic oxtail too. Very reasonable prices too 10/10 would recommend.”

“Bruce did my hair fantastically for three years. He's very good at working out how to deal with thick hair, and cutting short cuts. I always felt he really listened to what I wanted. He was also good at maintaining hair while it grows out to a longer cut. I'll miss him!”

“Two of my children attend here one in baby room and one in pre-school and I have had no issues, I am really happy with the care given to my children and the communication I receive. Both my children love the staff, are well-settled and looked after. I have a very good relationship with the managers who always accomodate my requests. I am pleased with this nursery and would recommend it to others :)”

“Excellently run garage and fair prices with some parking space. Nice chap running it (Dave), and extremely knowledgeable, he gave me good advice while carrying out my MOT. He even agreed to do it before 8am when the garage opens so I'd be logged in at work on time. I have recommended them to my friends and family as it's rare to find an honest and trustworthy mechanic these days! Cheers Dave!”

“I recently had the pleasure of receiving dental implant treatment at Derby Road Dental Surgery and I can’t say enough about the exceptional care I received. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by their warm and welcoming staff. The entire process, from consultation to the final implant placement, was seamless and comfortable. I highly recommend Dr.Rizvi and his team.”

“Herty done my hair beautifully Kinky Twist extension and I received a great deal of compliments. Also done my daughter's hair Knotless braids and twist. She loves it.”

“Always a great experience for my son. The service here is fantastic and professional. He's always given a lolly after his cut, which goes down a treat! Thank you, Faded Barbers.”

“The plastic handle on our dishwasher snapped and I was concerned that it couldn't be repaired. The owner of Addiscome DIY came to the rescue and suggested his "secret superglue", which fixed the problem completely. He also researched and provided a line for a discontinued Flymo stripper. I always find the owner polite, friendly and most helpful. His shop has everything! Stocktaking must be a nightmare...”

“Emma is a great groomer....not just dogs either. She's professional, and what I like best is she's quick. So no hanging about which is good for my slightly nervous dog. An added bonus is she has the shop and a mobile service which covers all bases if your time is restricted. Her prices are very competitive and unlike a lot of groomers she actually gets back to you. Clearly, she's just dog mad. Oh and she does before and after photo's, and has lots of doggie items at great prices.”

“Attended a child's birthday party event here. Was thoroughly impressed with the swimming pool, good size, clean, warm temperature, lots of floats and things for the kids to play with, excellent safety and a nice little room on the side where they cut the cake and had a little party. Overall really impressed. Oh and the grounds for the school are lovely too! Easy parking available as well.”

“Nice place, great service, tasty food & very reasonable prices. Perhaps a bit old fashioned but I don't mind that at all... next to a fab little old pub too, we need to keep these places open :-)”

“Had a deep cleanse facial, amazing experience, very professional and relaxing, will be back again in few weeks for another, would definitely recommend”

“Niko Builders landscaped our garden to an excellent standard after a previous building company extended our kitchen and left the garden in ruins. Niko Builders repositioned our sheds, laid a new turf resulting in the garden appearing wider and now a very appealing. They revamped our bathroom, recommending a marble window ledge which complimented our choice of wall tiles. They installed a Jacuzzi bath and a ceiling air vent. Our bathroom is rated 5 stars by family and friends. The workmanship is of a high standard. We highly recommend them. Debbie and Steve.”

“Quality customer service in how they communicate can see the passion in the staff and how they interact.... Always fun and can see the commitment on every occasion....never a bad day....very empowering.”

“Excellent dance school. My daughter took part in their show. It was so polished and professional. I was particularly impressed at how every child taking ballet took part in a mini version of Peter Pan - the planning and prep on that alone! Extra rehearsals were laid on which meant juggling for parents but the results were outstanding.”

“Anna is a lovely tutor and I really enjoyed her lessons. I was new to Ballroom & Latin, but she and the class were very welcoming. We mainly focused on technique and would normally do 2 different dances a month. It would be easiest to bring a partner, but I didn't have one and it was no problem. Thoroughly recommend.”
