I always have a very nice experience here, Mandy the lady I see is very professional, warm & welcoming. Everyone is lovely from when I have my hair washed (enjoying the massage chair an extra bonus) to when my hair is cut & styled. I strongly recommend you try them out. I’m given a lot of hints & tips on caring for my hair & advice on the products I could try if needed. Thank you ladies lovely to see you today 😘 x
