The actual blow dry was lovely... it's just a shame that the stylist had to keep stopping every time there was a walkin or the phone rang, turning a 45 min appointment into a 75 min "I need to desperately get back to work" rush.
I feel like I totally scored. I tried out Hairbase with a junior stylist for a t-section, cut, and blow dry. I was lucky enough to get Amelia who did a fantastic job with my hair. She was super down to earth and worked quickly, efficiently, and despite me not giving much direction about what I wanted, she hit the nail on the head anyway. I moved to London a year ago, and I've been jumping around different 5+ different salons trying to find my new "go to". I think I've finally found that in Amelia.
