Who holdsthe blade

The Floor

Six chairs,one standard

Everyone on this floor trained somewhere else first, and everyone re-learned something when they arrived. That is the point of a small room.

The year the doors opened

There is no senior chair and no junior chair. Price does not change with the name on the booking, because the standard does not change either — what changes is the hand, and which hand suits you is a matter of the shape you want, not of seniority.

If you are unsure, book whoever is open. Every artist here will tell you honestly when someone else in the room is the better answer, and they will walk you over.
