I attended the salon yesterday as a model for Maria and received a cut with long layers/ face framing. Having not had a cut for a really long time I really appreciated Maria's guidance in how to approach my new cut, what was best for my hair health and plan for transitioning to grey. Maria was the utmost professional, took time and care and delivered a brilliant cut. THANK YOU!

Then Ash tidied up my natural curls and added a few layers to mange them even more bouncy.
