I previously posted a review for Shab at Madd Pretty (and she was fantastic); however, she switched salons and her new salon was too out of the way for me to go to on a regular basis. After trying a couple of other centrally located salons and being quite unhappy with the results, I went back to Madd Pretty as every time I had my hair done there by Shab, all of the stylists seemed to be really good (I don't actually know why I looked at other salons? Temporary insanity perhaps?), so I started seeing Elsa.
To put it succinctly, Elsa is a hair magician - she has quite literally completely transformed my hair. Elsa has incredible technical skills with respect to both colouring and cutting and is also artistically creative. She never rushes and her styling and finishing is perfect. She created an incredible blonde blend for me - I had previously been scared of going "real blonde" because of my skin tone, but I have a lot of grey and so being blonde obviously makes it less noticeable when my roots show through. The blonde that Elsa created is amazing - I completely love it and while she has only cut my hair once so far, it is by far the best haircut I have had in years.
