I was there from 9.15 till about 3.30 ish, I knew it would be a long day, the staff and trainees were all very pleasant. Unfortunately now a lot of the permit the back hasn’t stayed in. The sides are fine , I unfortunately wasn’t able to speak to a trainer when I left as they were busy, I was also told the cost would be £55 when I booked a few weeks previous but when I paid the receptionist said it was £75. I didn’t like to say anything as I just needed to go axvj was hungry and thirsty.

I felt reassured and confident following my consultation with (May?) she kept checking that I was happy with the cut at regular intervals.
