I had a great experience! Stuff is super nice, talented and friendly. My hair looked great at the end, I had an ombre done and the blending was great! The toner gave my hair the perfect touch (no weird yellowy shades). It took longer than I expected but I've got exactly the result that I wanted so really well done! Also my hair didn't feel like hay after washing it so that's awesome considering they've bleaching it a fair bit; if felt soft considering. They use L'Oral which is great! Totally recommend it! Super happy!

Never have I walked away disappointed or dissatisfied with the work Vinnie & the team do for me and my hair! I always get that fresh new hair feeling and always have always been satisfied with the colour. Vinnie has always cut my hair and it's always done to a high standard and works his magic
Thank you again Vinny & the team
