My son Cameron age 10 had a great haircut today with Ann. A bit of a restyle, she talked him through options and it looks fantastic.

I was looking forward to this. ***** had not cut my hair for years. In the past I was always pleased. Not this time
Felt he did not listen to me a lobbed half my hair off. Still recovering from the shock. Never had my hair as short since I was a child. Been happier with vouchers/deals used for years now at a fraction of the price

I always look forward to going to Shapes having come here rather than Cheynes in town. Calm and relaxing time chatting with Anne whilst she knows exactly what I want my hair to look like. Wonderful treatment and very good value - I wouldn't go anywhere else now.
