Report
Highly recommended. Mike Lunnon has extensive experience and it shows. Not only will he give you great advice, but his cut and finish are first class. No wonder he has so many regular clients who also appreciate the way he looks after them. The other staff including his daughter Nell benefit from his supervision and will give you a superior service.
