I had hair in desperate need of some tlc and went to HeadKandy for a balayage. Even when I was making the appointment itself I felt very listened to. The staff were all very knowledgeable and personable; what was particularly impressive was the way they worked as a team.
Lexi performed miracles on my poor greying hair - the end colour looked perfect, so natural.
I didn’t catch the name of the second lady who washed, dried, cut and styled but she was so lovely, not to mention efficient.
Although it was a long appointment, I never once felt hurried or in the way.
Thank you to the whole team for giving me such a lift.
