I couldn’t recommend Reef or Alex more highly! I absolutely love both my colour and cut every time. Thanks to her expert advice and care, my hair has transformed from being extremely damaged to genuinely healthy again. She’s so friendly and approachable, which makes it so easy to explain exactly what I want. What I really appreciate is how she always takes into account both the hair I have now and where I want it to be in the future.
The Oribe Alchemy products she prescribed have been a game-changer too—I honestly can’t rate them highly enough. Overall, an incredible stylist who truly listens, cares, and delivers amazing results every time.

Thanks so much!!!
