I had a balayage style done this morning with Lee and I must say that my whole experience yet again was incredible. Lee is just beyond brilliant in everything that he does from start to finish. My hair looks absolutely amazing and I’ve had nice comments from a few people already. Thank you so much Lee and have a lovely bank holiday weekend.
