You don’t just get a haircut, although the hair quality is superb; you don’t just get free drinks, you get people who give of their best and give of themselves. Care, courtesy and friendship. Fantastic place. I highly recommend it.

Ashley showed his professionalism and knowledge through listening, giving helpful and positive advice, being relaxed but still attentive to every detail in achieving a beautiful hair style which I am absolutely delighted with.
