Thank you for making me feel welcome and comfortable yesterday. Love the haircut and literally, feel lighter. I also want to give Charlie credit for the cut I had before lockdown, which kept it's shape for a long time.

Slightly worried about my first appointment after lockdown but the one way system, temperature check, lashings of anti bac gel, sterile equipment pack and spotless branch, made it stress free. Lorraine turned me from “Cousin it” to a real person, relaxed and feeling great. Couldn’t recommend the Team enough.

So pleased to be back at Shine after lockdown and see the place open and ready for business, but not quite as usual. A great experience with usual friendly atmosphere and feeling of safety in the current situation. Very well organised and great post-lockdown cut from Leigh. Thank you and hope all goes well in the coming days and weeks.
