I booked very last minute after being let down by my usual hairdresser. I was quite anxious and tearful but I was greeted with warmth and I was made to feel comfortable. From the off Sasha reassured me she would do everything she could to get my close to the results I wanted as she knew this weekend was important for me, and she delivered. I am so so happy and I can’t thank the team enough. From start to finish.
