Excellent from start to finish. Made to feel welcome when U walked in. Anna has been styling my hair for a while now and I always feel she knows what I like. Georgia was excellent washing my hair. She is very thorough, she explains what she is doing and why and you feel special. Always come out of Woo feeling relaxed and looking 10 years younger!
