Absolute fab experience today! First time at the salon after being recommended by someone else and this will definitely not be my last visit there! Jack was great fun to have working on my hair and really took the time to find out about my 'hair history'.He gave lots of great tips for haircare and gave recommendations for certain products. The salon had great vibes and I would 100% recommend!

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!

My First Visit to 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!

I booked in for an appointment for a full head of foils with Lexi and a cut with Ryan. I have naturally curly hair and low self confidence so have muddled through with my hair myself as I have never really been happy when other people do it, until today. I was made to feel welcome from the minute I stepped in the door, everyone was so friendly and attentive, asking if I would like a drink, if I was comfortable, asking if I was ok etc. my colour and cut looks amazing and I have booked another appointment. Thank you all! X
