Came in to see Amy as I was completely at a loss as to how to get my curly hair back to how it used to be, and omg she was amazing! Walked me through every step, showed me techniques, told me the do’s and… don’ts about taking care of curly hair, answered all of my questions and put me totally at ease. My hair has now gone from a slight wave to defined curls with her help. Recommend her 100%. Thank you so much! Xx
