Although the venue is important to most I personally feel it's the artist at work on your that is the most important.
Years of visiting all the fashionable salons in leeds left me penniless and still having a bad hair day. A chance referral to Carol in 1989 changed my life forever, she was and still is a dynamo with my thick long hair. If you want funky you get it, either way she is excellent with a pair of scissors and honest with you too. Give her a try, you wont be disappointed.
