I had a wig appointment with Susan recently. I am going through chemotherapy and my daughter is getting married so I needed some hair. I have found this to be one of the hardest things to deal with. Susan was kind, patient and incredibly helpful. Would highly recommend her services! It was a real bonus to be able to try on the wig rather than picking it out of a catalogue.

Had my hair cut and coloured today, for the first time since February, (thank you COVID-19). As always Cheryl did a fabulous job. I can not say enough. Thank you

Really bad experience. Took almost 7 hours in the chair... asked for blonde ombr and instead got subtle brown highlights and split ends that I didnt come in with. Would not recommend this place.
