Everyone looked after me beautifully and Jess, two weeks into her role, gave me a great shampoo treatment. Louise's cut was great, as usual!

I have a recurring nightmare where Austen retires and I have to go back to trying to find someone who can cut short hair like he does. He is an absolute master stylist, and really nice guy to boot.
