Shelly first cut my hair just before Christmas. I have been growing a lockdown crew cut out and I’m now at the stage where I have a style. The cut was so good that three months on it was still looking really good but just a bit longer.
I got it cut yesterday for the second time and she really took time to discuss what my expectations were.
Shelly is one if not thee best hairdresser I have had. It’s her attention to detail ( literally not a hair out of place ) she is meticulous to get you the style that not only suites you but is manageable for lifestyle.
I was at a party last night and everyone was complementing me on my new new do.
