Haircut at last ?

At last a haircut by the lovely Freya. She always knows what to do with my hair even if I don’t have any ideas. This time a really well cut and styled Bob. Everyone commented on what a great job she had done and I felt amazing. Can’t wait to go back and see what she does next.

Mel was waiting for me. I was greeted with a smile. She handed me a mask and we went up to the salon. She explained which colour would look the best. I am deaf so she changed her mask for a vizor so I could lip read her which made it so much easier to communicate. Very relaxing having my hair done by Mel.

I came in with covid hair, you know, uncut the last year or so. It looked like hell. I was bored and indecisive with it. Called in a panic wanting apt with the lovely Eloise who has done my hair for two years. But as she want available and Laura had had a cancellation, I jumped at the chance. Was delighted with the result and the process. Laura kindly considered my hair, stricture & density - and my concerns. I showed her phots of me/my hair then and now, and some aspirational possible cuts. She said what would work and we agreed a plan. A lovely head massage while being shampooed relaxed me right away. The resulting cut was super. I feel like a new person. Thankyou. Another super cut from another talented member of the team at Hunter Walsh.

This was the first haircut since lockdown began so over a years worth of growth.... my hair was a bit wild and far too long.
Brydie was fabulous I cannot recommend her enough, I absolutely love my new cut, my hair feels lighter healthier and far far more manageable. The salons covid protocols are great, made me feel safe and secure
I will absolutely be going back to see her for my next cut but definitely won't be 15 months this time.
