My daughter had her third haircut with Jade today and it was as enjoyable as ever. Her hair looks great now and Jade managed my daughter's fidgeting with good humour and elan! We even managed some Hearts/Hibs banter.

First time here. Went in with crazy, brittle/tangled, home-chopped OAP mane. Delighted to come out feeling much nicer!. No fuss, Its still long (as I wanted) but miraculously sleek with a nice shape.
