This was my second appointment; I first came to Lexi on a friend's recommendation for a re-style. She really listened to what I wanted and made helpful suggestions. The resulting cut was excellent, easy to style, and kept its shape brilliantly. The second appointment I've just had has actually even improved the style! Once again, Lexi took time to listen to my requirements, made suggestions, and put it all into practice. I'm very chuffed with the result. Thank you Lexi!

Was very patient with my request, I rarely get my hair cut as I'm quite a nervous person when it comes to getting my hair cut but I was made to feel welcome and I wasn't asked too many questions (I struggle to communicate when it comes to what I want!), I just showed a picture and the end result was great, already booked my second appointment which I wouldn't do if I wasn't satisfied. The staff are also very friendly and I was never made to feel like a burden or a nuisance, which I have had before when asking to get my haircut at other places which I will not name. I've had a lot of compliments too!
