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!!!

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.
