Lucy was wonderful, really professional and supportive throughout my experience. I have been coming a few times now and the service has been wonderful every time but Lucy made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout. All the other staff and front of house people are all so welcoming and friendly. Will be booking again, if only I had more time I would attend regularly. Thank you all at AG, best wishes Jack x

Hollie is an absolute star!!!
We was originally going to do a copper colour but because of money I couldn’t afford it, so she helped me choose something that would be in my price range and absolutely smashed it!
She always makes me feel like a 10/10!
