Hi Kevin, my stock -unit arrived Monday here -- pleased with the way it looks /colour / texture etc. Went to a local salon today in the town I live in [about 15 miles from Cork City] and the stylist agreed to layer / cut it in for me before the weekend. I`m just letting the unit lie down a bit and settle before she takes the scissors to it! Will let u know how it turns out. Did you have any joy finding a stylist? Paul.
