CLIENT LOVE

I saw Lorraine for a (first time) perm, on recommendation from a friend. And, WOW. From the second we met, I knew I was in good hands, and my hesitations melted away instantly. She knows what she is doing 100%. I walked out of there lighter than air, and the compliments have been pouring in.
