Today was new salon and stylist so little nervous.As soon as I walked in the team were really busy but still gave me a warm welcome, so friendly.
Emma was the stylist she was outstanding, she talked me through my options during my consultation even recommending best hair products. The results were outstanding, she is a true professional, a gem, she is a very confident,talented, friendly and extremely knowledgable stylist, with a wealth of experience. She made me feel so comfortable and I walked out with amazing new style and colour. If you've never been to Mudusa in Hanover St then you are missing out on a truly outstanding experience. Thank you so much throughly loved today x

The colour is great too, very subtle and natural which is exactly what I asked for.
