Nadine is my stylist and I’m over the moon with my recent cut & restyle. My hair was shoulder length but was thinning so much on the crown area that I wanted a style that hid it. Nadine and I were in touch before my appointment offering advice on styles that I sent over to her. I followed her expert advice and now have a short layered Bob that looks thick too and everyone is admiring my shorter but much thicker style. Can’t praise Nadine enough

Danielle was just amazing! Did an amazing job on my hair, super fine natural highlights matching my previous colour I wanted. Perfect finish with Hollywood style curls. I have very high expectations and super picky when it comes to how I like my hair done, don’t often write reviews but this needed to be shared... 10/10 Highly recommend her for colouring & cut! Highly professional and friendly. Thank you! :)
