Lauren created an amazing up do. She listened to the kind of style that I like and she had such great ideas and creativity and made my hair look so super. Everyone at the wedding commented how lovely my hair was and it survived a lot of dancing with not a pin falling out of place! Thanks! Loved it!

Thought I'd have a review of what style I wanted before my hair was washed. Good cut though but did not have my hair thinned out which I have had many times in the past. Did feel rushed towards the end. Blow dry not in the style I would have liked and considering the style was straight hair no straighteners were used. Slightly disappointed.

Amazing service for children’s hair. Kept a usually very wriggly upset child calm and pretty still for a super snip! Whilst another member of staff kept the other children occupied plaiting their hair which made their day! Always so thoughtful and welcoming, thank you so much.

I had hair in desperate need of some tlc and went to HeadKandy for a balayage. Even when I was making the appointment itself I felt very listened to. The staff were all very knowledgeable and personable; what was particularly impressive was the way they worked as a team.
Lexi performed miracles on my poor greying hair - the end colour looked perfect, so natural.
I didn’t catch the name of the second lady who washed, dried, cut and styled but she was so lovely, not to mention efficient.
Although it was a long appointment, I never once felt hurried or in the way.
Thank you to the whole team for giving me such a lift.
