You can trust all the 5-star reviews - this hair salon is absolutely first class. If you want to look your best then you need to have your hair done here. I was so impressed with my cut and colour and I’ll definitely return in the future. Lauren and Jacks, aka “the dream team”, are both extremely talented. Lauren is an absolute whizz with colour and Jack is a top-notch professional hair stylist. Their customer service was wonderful and I felt very pampered. The new girl Jende is also lovely and she really knows what she’s doing as well. (I just hope I spelt her name right).

My first time coming to this salon and I absolutely loved the experience! The whole time I was so well taken care of, everybody goes above and beyond for you.
I went to see Lauren for full highlights and Ryan for the cut and blow-dry. What a dream team! The pair of them are absolutely amazing. They fully take time to go through things with you, asking all about your hair and fully listen to what you're wanting your hair to look like. Aswell as giving such helpful tips on how better to take care of your hair.
I'm already looking forward to going back there again soon!

A week ago I got a bad haircut (NOT at HeadKandy). I was very upset about it and decided to book an appointment at HeadKandy to see if they could help me fix it. Ryan was absolutely professional but also very warm and made me feel comfortable. Needless to say that he fixed my hair right up and he even explained the plan for upcoming months to make my hair what I had hoped it would be before the bad haircut. I definitely recommend!

The most incredible haircut I've ever had. I am elated. I showed Brandi what I wanted and she was upfront and honest about what we could achieve with the initial condition of my hair - I found this so helpful and informative. Despite doubt of what we could achieve in the first colouring, she managed to make my hair look even better than I had ever imagined. She is super talented. It was also such a friendly atmosphere in Headkandy, I've never felt as relaxed and comfortable as I did during my appointment here. All the staff were lovely and communicated so well. Even if I move away, I won't go anywhere else now. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!! So so happy, thank you!!!
