As per usual at Optima, everyone was their usual friendly selves.
I had a couple of visits from owner Pete, during my appointment on this occasion.
Pete is an extremely funny guy, and one of the friendliest and most genuine guys I've ever met. He really is, the best.
Then with my appointment with Karen... Not only is Kaz extremely gorgeous, but she really has become a very dear friend too. And I can discuss things with her, that I could only discuss with someone very close to me.
Which only goes to show, just how wonderful, the people at Optima are.
As I recently had a very depressing time, and Kaz made me feel so good about it all.
Fantastic people, and I was told I was very loved there. By Karen... And Pete.
I love you guys too.

I have been wearing hair systems for the last 24 years, and have been to many saloons and " hair replacemnt specialists" all over the UK, USA and Canada. And can confidentley say that Optima are in a league of their own, both with quality and durability of their hair systems. I have been a customer since 2016 and always been very happy with the service and result that I have recieved, so would have no problem in reccommending them to anyone suffering from hair loss.
