Head kandi is absolutely the best salon I’ve ever been too. The staff are warm and friendly and make you feel very welcome. Lexi is a fantastic colourist and one of the nicest hairdressers I’ve met, Ryan and Lauren are fantastic and have the salon running smoothly and nothing is too much trouble for them.

I can not pick one stylist , as usual they did an amazing job, they did not have the right colour so one of the team went to another store to get the right one. The customer service was outstanding by everyone, atmosphere was great such a happy place , and I was made to feel welcome, always go here as I have never had a bad report plus my hair is amazing as always. Would always recommend HEADKANDY 100%.

I’ve been having my hair cut and coloured at HeadKandy for a number of years. Ryan, Lauren and the team are all amazing. They treat every customer as a friend rather than a client and you come away feeling truly beautiful. Throughout lockdown they’ve gone over and above to ensure clients feel comfortable and safe. Thank you guys. Highly recommended..

Completely thrilled with my hair makeover.
It was my first visit to your salon today, and I was having a complete restyle, from long, frizzy hair to a short pixie cut.
All the staff were so friendly and welcoming, and Ryan is completely amazing at his job. Put me completely at ease, and made a potentially nerve wracking hair cut relaxing and stress free.
I feel like a completely new person, love, love, my new hair, and will definitely be rebooking when I need a trim. Thank you so much Ryan.

I had an appointment on the first day HeadKandy reopened. Ryan and the team had pulled out all the stops to be safe themselves and make us feel safe too (disposable gowns, spare seat between each client, fave shields for the team and the juniors making sure everything was kept clean and anti-bac'd).
Great service as always, thanks guys.
