Salon Review
Anne Crummy
The fantastic Salon experience still exists albeit slightly different. Working within health and safety I was completely happy and felt safe during my appointment. The friendly greeting on arrival is still the same with all possible precautions in place, even a bag to put you handbag in. All capes, towels etc are disposable and knowing how expensive disposables are was pleased to see no limits to their use. The Salon team remain as friendly, passionate and caring as always, even through the visors. My colour change is fabulous with Michael working his magic once again. Finally, thank you to Michael, Alan and the team for making my visit safe and comfortable wit the addition of the tower fan.
