Aww, thanks Joan, we'd love it if you moved down!. It's really important that a Hairdresser listens to their Client and does not just repeat what they did last time. Alex is a Stylist that's gaining a ever filling Column due to her skills and ability to take on board what her Clients want.

I love Emily to bits. Her usual question of ‘so what are we doing today’ was met with ‘a pixie style please’ (I’d forgotten to ring and check it was ok to change what we usually did, so it took her a bit by surprise!). Emily took it all in her stride and gave me a wonderful new look! The best bit was how excited she was to be doing the new hairstyle - she really is a gem!
