I went to Cruz on my first visit 6 weeks and was super impressed with my haircut. Exactly what I asked for, really precise cut and I had a ridiculous amount of compliments about it. Second visit was today and if anything I'm even happier, Andrew is a wonderful hairstylist. Super precise and takes his time to get it absolutely perfect. Oh and I had an amazing cup of tea.
