Client Love
Mel was the best. Never was so happy having my hairstyle done. I loved the result so much. She did exactly what I wanted and asked her for. Exceeded my expectations. I’d always recommend her and trust her a thousand more times. Thanks forever xxx
Guadalaupe
Happy Client, Inspired Hair Design
Just moved to the area and desperately needed a cut. As someone with thick hair, who likes to wash and wear, and has a bit of an unruly fringe, I need someone who sees exactly what my hair needs to sit well. This has been a struggle for me to find someone through the years and I’ve only been able to trust a handful of people. I saw Angela this morning and let me tell you – this is the best cut I’ve had in a VERY LONG TIME. Thank you SO much! Will absolutely be back. See you again soon :)
Hair type: Thick hair with layers from previous haircut. Angela blended these out to allow for growth as well as tidied so they didn’t continue to split and feather.
