I was really nervous attending today what with the changes. However I was wrong to feel this way. I felt reassured and confident following my consultation with (May?) she kept checking that I was happy with the cut at regular intervals. I struggle a lot with self image and the end result had me beaming with a smile from how I felt. Excellent job and advice on how to continue the regime at home. Thankyou SO MUCH. I will most definitely be back!

From the moment I walked in through the door I was made to feel welcome. I met the lady who was going to be doing my hair, Abbie, very lovely lady. We discussed what was happening with my colour and cut. I was very happy to listen to Abbie’s suggestions with which colour to go for. Over the moon with the results. I will definitely be returning and I will be highly recommending this establishment. Thank you.
