Booking and Accessibility

  • "This place can get busy so it’s advised to pre book."
  • "Not to mention that your appointment is never on time anymore, and haircuts are now 15 minutes."
  • "Wasted 45 minutes of my life. Was told to come at 10 am and 'the boys' would look after me, I waited 45 minutes whilst a couple of people who came in before was served before me."
