In challenging times these guys clearly stepped up to the challenge.

Had my hair cut at HeadKandy for 5 years and they’re always amazing.
Today was no different and I was explained clearly the new process systems they had in place to ensure safety of clients and themselves. Once again Ryan and his team deliver the best service.

I’ve been going to various salons over the years, never felt comfortable and although sometimes pleased with the results, it was never a pleasurable experience. I tried Headkandy and I will never go anywhere else again. From start to finish the staff were absolutely wonderful. Made me feel like part of a ‘family’ my hair looks healthy and the colour is fantastic. The experience exceeded all expectations and I can not thank Ryan, Lauren and the talented team. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

After ten years of visiting Ryan in Head Kandy, I can honestly say I’ve never been disappointed or tempted to go anywhere else. Apart from working miracles on my hair, the salon is professional, fun and friendly. A couple of hours relaxing , having a chat and a glass of wine ( or coffee).... it’s just like going to a friend’s house, except that you leave looking much better than when you arrived!
