    Sophie Gardener

  • I dont normally go to salons, as I dont like all the hustle and bustle that goes with it. But I can honestly say I left here chilled out and loved the whole experience. The girls were all lovely and Alfie the dog supplied plenty of cuddles. I was a bit unsure off what I actually wanted done to my hair, so I told Amy what I liked and what I didn't like...and she nailed it. Love my hair
