Took my grandchildren to have their hair cut. They live almost 200 miles away from Whitby but the elder will only allow hair to be cut by Elliott and travels to Whitby for this. Elliott is extremely patient and takes time to understand how my grandson wants his hair cut. A very talented hairdresser!
