I have a tendency to turn up for my appointments, this morning was no difference, once Ryan saw me coming towards the salon he stopped having a cuppa and his breakfast. He sat me down at the mirror and got me ready for my hair colour and then my cut/blow dry. Always asks how I am and the family and then proceeds to do his job. Excellent service. I would go to no other hair salon as he knows exactly how I like my hair to be done.

It was my first visit to this salon and it was an exceptional visit. My consultation was great, followed by an amazing cut and colour by Jack. The following day I had some issues with part of my colour but they welcomed me back and helped straight away (even went as far as going to my car to extend the parking!). They really went above and beyond any salon that I’ve ever been to which is why I shan’t be going anywhere else. The whole experience- the treatment, the quality and the atmosphere really are fantastic! Thank you so much!

Second time I’ve been there and had Lexi for cut and foils. She always does an amazing job and I went almost 10 weeks in between colour. All the staff are friendly and you want for nothing. Only slight criticism is that it’s a tad cold. Have changed my hairdresser of 20 years; here’s to the next 20 with HeadKandy!

I'd been with my previous hairstylist for over 12 years but she unfortunately had to retire on ill health grounds. So, after trying a couple of salons elsewhere without ever coming away entirely happy, I thought I'd give HeadKandy a try. A bit nervous about going somewhere 'new' but I needn't have worried. From the moment I walked in the atmosphere felt warm and friendly. Jack was very professional and listened/suggested the best way to meet my requirements. The end result was a haircut exactly as I wanted. I genuinely couldn't find fault with my HeadKandy experience and am definitely going back on a regular basis. Thank you!
