I went in today for a basic cut and colour, and Sam suggested a different shade, and encouraged me to have a bob. I haven’t had my hair cut short for 20 years.. She was so confident it would suit me, and my gosh, was she right! I walked out of the Salon feeling a million dollars- my whole style has been uplifted. I’m so pleased I took her advice and went for the chop! And the colour is STUNNING. Thank you Sam
