Cannot recommend this team enough 😍 tried a few places that all seem to dismiss me as I wanted something a bit different and not your typical long extension’s. I sent pics of my hair and a rough idea of what I wanted and they got me straight away!! No problem , booked me in and OMG the finish result was just what I wanted !!!! Nadia your amazing 😍😍😍😍 and I’m already planning my next visit . I’m hoping your available for me, free rain this time on my style of colours xx Such an amazing atmosphere too, the staff introducing everyone to each other and making it so warm and welcoming!!! I can’t wait to come back and recommended to so many already , thank you again xxxx see you soon xx
