Last minute unhappy booking to cheer up my son!

Totally blown away by the kindness of your receptionist when I did something rather out of character and explained to your receptionist that my son of 15 who is suffering some mental health problems & had recently attempted something very scary…. Obviously he is getting all the help from outside agencies we can get but as his mum I knew he had been complaining his hair was becoming a nuisance/needed a cut etc… it’s curly and he wants to grow it longer but I know from being a client of Zoe’s and shine myself that someone at shine would provide him with a better cut than his usual short back and sides salon….
Despite my pretty shocking behaviour at attempting to get him an appointment (bit rude dropping such sensitive information on your receptionist & Helene but as a shocked terrified mum willing to do anything to make him feel good I thought sod it and just told them both. Bit unfair on both ladies and not my best manners but I felt I could say without judgement) and I was right both ladies took the information in their stride….. your receptionist getting my son an appointment with a senior stylist the next day! And Helene wasn’t phased by my uncomfortable news about my son. I just wanted him to feel good about his slightly unruly hair and himself. Helene and your receptionist were fantastic. Everyone at shine always provide 10/10 service. I love Zoe doing my hair and I've tried to keep up with her despite moving away from the area 3 years ago. But following Helene & the receptionists performance I felt compelled to write and say thank you so much. You made a completely terrified mum and a young man struggling feel looked after and I certainly felt the ladies went “the extra mile” for us. Much appreciated. Please tell them I said so.
