I’m a returning customer but don’t always get the same person. This time it was Aileen who was nice and cheerful. She listened to how I wanted my hair and I absolutely love it! Not many people get my fringe right and how I like it. She took the time to make sure it looked right and I’m very happy with the finish. Thank you ?

Didn’t manage to have the colour as I wasn’t told on the phone of the 48 hour patch test!
Luckily I asked about this when I went in for a cut the day before, so my trip wasn’t wasted.

I’ll make another appointment for try colour, not the fault of Chelsea obviously.
