I previously had my hair cut at a well-known local salon for the last few years. It had become decidedly lack-lustre and my hair was looking a mess. I found Backstage on the internet and it had good reviews. Akin took time to listen to how I wanted my hair to be cut and made a brilliant job of it. My hair is long and wavy and the long layers have restored the curl. I wondered how it would look when I washed it and styles it myself. It looks fabulous! Thank you Akin, I will be back.
