Stylsh, clean, professional but with that local family touch and a wealth of beauty options on the premises. What more could you want!
I often feel very self conscious at a very good quality hairstylist, especially such a smartly presented one....but Ryan, Lauren and their team deliver quality with that personal touch. Before social distancing was needed, I often saw 2 or 3 generations of the same family there. There's something wholesome about that...They cater for gents too.
You can tell that Head Kandy have got it right. Having met some of their other clients at a Christmas do, I felt priveleged and reassured to be among such lovely people from both sides of the counter. I love going there and have my hair cut more frequently now because I feel safe and welcome.
They are genuine and money can't buy that kind of service!!
