Always a pleasant experience and relaxing, so relaxing I nearly fell asleep having my hair washed, good old chin wag , pot of tea, ideal to spent a couple of hours doing nothing and being pampered at the same time xx

Jaz was really good at bleaching my roots and topping up my elumen colour she even suggested different ways to add the colour into my hair and look amazing when she was finished. I asked instead of being styled when finished I asked for it to be braided and she was more than happy to braid it after my cut and blow dry

I was really grateful that Mandy and Jaz could accommodate me at short notice and as a first-time customer. I had a drastic re-style with a lot of length off and I am so pleased with the result. Jaz did a fantastic job, the cut is technically really good and I will definitely be a regular from now on. Thanks so much Jaz, I really appreciate the time you spent with me today.
