    Absolutely superb! From start to finish, welcoming, friendly, took time to explain options, gave advice, the skin fade cut was spot on and the perm looks incredible! Nicki and both staff took time to talk to us help out and make us feel so welcome (Team work) Lauren thank you what a happy client! My son is a fussy lad when it comes to his hair and he’s blown away! We are booked in to come back. Thank you for the added laughter too 🫶🏼
