New to the salon. Second appointment today. Following Covid-19 lockdown and six months without a hair cut I wanted a change. Ellie talked through various options for a different style to suit my hair, face and lifestyle. After an initial much needed tidying up cut I'm growing it out a little more to get to this new style. Ellie has been brilliant at explaining how best to achieve this and today I had a sort of interim cut/tidy up with a slight adjustment for how my heavy hair falls especially around my fringe and face area. I can't fault Ellie for her advice and styling. On a general note the salon

Excellent as always. Lots of covid measures in place, so felt very safe, but still had the light friendly atmosphere
