Just want to say a huge thank you to Emma for being so kind in dealing with my 2 year old who I was convinced would tear the place down. But she was so great with him that it was honestly a breeze! Can’t recommend this place enough to any nervous mums!

After making the journey from Inverurie with 2 kids under 2 in the car, we were turned away for being 4 minutes late for my sons appointment. He's 1, not exactly a full head hair to be cut. Lazy, unreasonable and a complete waste of our time. Avoid.
