FRIDAY – HAIR – STUDIO
The Friday hair timetable will been sent out on WhatsApp asap. All parents need to book a slot for the Friday. We will always accommodate siblings to be in at the same time/as close to each other as possible.
As many of you know we don’t always run perfectly to, many factors can delay us, or we can get done faster than expected so please try not to plan to have too many other events on the same evening where possible.
Any children with curly hair, please try to have this straightened before arrival.
We also ask that no one has any drastic haircuts between now and may. All hair needs to a decent length with minimal short fringes for all teams to ensure all hair styles sit correctly.
