Ave was lovely and made me feel comfortable. Ave did blended highlights to look more natural with the state of my hair, but unfortunately they are stripey and not right up to the root. I've had previous highlights with my hair in a similar condition, and have left looking more natural and blonde. At the end we were quite rushed as her next client had arrived - I've tried different styles but I'm still noticing it. It's a shame to be unhappy as haircuts aren't cheap!
