Cameron did a great job cutting my hair today as he has never cut my hair before I had to have a consultation I had to explain to him what works & what does'nt with my hair style/type. To be honest I was'nt that happy at 1st as when I arrived at the salon I was not informed my usual stylist who knows my hair was unavaliable untill Cameron told me he was cutting my hair today, I think the salon should of informed me prior to appt or when they had the chance to when I arrived as no one else spoke to me on arrival atall or offered to take my jacket I had to ask myself. However I am still pleased with Camerons cut & the professional interaction from him.

Reese also took the most care I've ever had to style round my face and really listened to my "issues" to work with them. I always hate going to get my hair done and it gets dried flat, Reese gave me volume and I love it!! Thank you Reese.

I went in for a massive change—shifting from a long-top undercut to a full pixie—and I couldn’t be happier! Cameron is a true artist. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and executed it with so much precision. If you’re looking for a complete restyle, this is the place to go. I feel like a brand new person!

I am sorry to say that again I had to wait for my apt to begin, no explanation given. I live 50 mins away and work full time, so time is precious. I don’t want to make a fuss as am very happy with my hair and everyone is friendly when I’m being engaged with, it’s just the delay and lack of communication that is disappointing.
