Brilliant fantastic. First time and went from long to short. Kevin listened to me about how my life is and how I hate blow drying due to frozen shoulder. Restyled to accommodate my issues and left feeling a million dollars after having a belly ache due to laughing so much. Price spot on. Would definitely recommend and I will be going back to Kev.
