May was my hairstylist yesterday. May took her time, listened to Ally and asked questions when she felt she needed to. May is confident, but should believe in herself more.
It was a very good haircut…needs to be confident in messing up a messy hairstyle!

Everyone is pleasant and greets you as you arrive and you are looked after so well. I am always happy with whatever I have done there, usually roots, foils, cut, blow dry and straighten. The students are a delight and their teachers, their supervisors are so good with them and their clients. Thank you.

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!

Amelia did a great job colouring my hair with a mixture of weaves, slices and balayage in a rich plum colour with an all over chocolate. Super Christmassy!

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

Love it, thank you girls!
