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.

First experience at Cruz this week and got an Ashy Blonde Balyage from Andrew. So impressed, hands down the best hair cut and dye I’ve ever had. Received a lot of compliments and Andrew really listened to what I wanted. A true professional and talented at what he does. Thank you Andrew! I’ll be back for sure
