I have my hair done with April and I always leave feeling amazing! She always takes her time to go through an extensive consultation and does my hair exactly how I imagine it to be. I will never go to anyone else to beautify my thick hair!! April deserves every bit of credit for her hard work and talent. The assistants are friendly, welcoming and helpful to April and it is an all round lovely salon which makes the experience so much more relaxing.
