Alisha was lovely. It was my first visit to LJ and I shall definitely be back to have her do my hair. She listened to what I wanted, discussed options and my hair looked great.

As always, the entire visit was thoroughly enjoyable. My regular stylist, Emma P, was attentive throughout and performed her usual vigorous session at the backwash which featured shampoo, conditioner and a mysterious serum.

My only (tiny) gripes are ax follows:

a. The hot chocolate isn’t as tasty as the one provided by the old machine.

b. Emma still politely refuses to commit to home visits 24/7.

Time always flies as everyone in the salon is so friendly and catching up with Matthew is always a delight. Knowing I’m in such safe hands for both my colour and cut means I just relax and don’t focus on what’s going on with my hair and before I know it, it’s a beautiful colour, super shiny and sharply cut, perfect!

I asked Stacey her opinion of me slightly tweaking my normal cut She gave me a sensible description of how it would look on me based on my hair type etc and let me decide if I wanted to try it I decided to try it and liked it immediately I have been complemented on it by staff in the local bakers and have given the girls the Salon number and Stacey's name.
