Shine Review 4 July 2020

Karina GREENSMITH
4th Jul 2020

So pleased to be back at Shine after lockdown and see the place open and ready for business, but not quite as usual. A great experience with usual friendly atmosphere and feeling of safety in the current situation. Very well organised and great post-lockdown cut from Leigh. Thank you and hope all goes well in the coming days and weeks.

Fantastic service. I have been coming to Shine for 7 years now. I always have trust in Emily, she listens to what I want and then puts her own ideas across which I need and always come out happy. I also have the Yuko treatment done by Emily. I don’t know what I would do without this treatment and Emily does everything to perfection. She ensures that your hair is ok for the treatment to go ahead and although this is a long process, Emily remains in high spirits and I know I will get the best results.
I previously had Zoe who has also been amazing but is now on Maternity leave.
