First had a cut & Blow dry with Ellie and I got exactly what I asked for. Professional & Friendly.

I then booked in balliage with Craig Kane after hearing so many reviews and he did not disappoint. Again, very professional and so good at what he does. His banter was also on form.

Can not believe I’ve not been here until now and will be returning. Always have “the fear@ when switching hairdressers and I can honestly say I will not regret it! Thanks again to Ellie and Craig!
