Trying out a new stylist is always a bit of a gamble - Is this person good at their craft? Is this person going to give consideration to my lifestyle? Is this person going to grasp the texture of my hair and the difficulties my crazy mane poses? I’ve been through this trial and error game a few times so I temper my expectations when trying someone new. As someone newish to london, whose hair had grown unruly (hair chokehold in the middle of the night anyone?) it was time to bite the bullet and get a haircut. Well, much to my surprise, Amelia worked some magic on my hair and I now look awesome.

Amelia sat me down, looked at my facial features and structure, spent some time getting to know my hair texture (fine, but really unruly, and theres a shitload of it), then Amelia asked me about my lifestyle/work/etc. I explained I needed easy, wash and almost go, cool girl look. Totally open about the length. After the consult Amelia whisked me off to the washing station for a deep clean and a nice head massage. Then to the cutting station where the magic happened. 60 minutes later shiny, Healthy, easy wavy locks were revealed. During the blow dry Amelia took time to show me how to style my hair similarly at home.
