After ten years of visiting Ryan in Head Kandy, I can honestly say I’ve never been disappointed or tempted to go anywhere else. Apart from working miracles on my hair, the salon is professional, fun and friendly. A couple of hours relaxing , having a chat and a glass of wine ( or coffee).... it’s just like going to a friend’s house, except that you leave looking much better than when you arrived!

I booked an appointment at headkandy as my usual salon did not offer the treatment olaplex. I was not disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The salon was friendly and took the time to explain how the treatment works. My hair was blow dried and I am extremely pleased with the result. Many thanks - I certainly will be back!

Service was very good, but £19.50 for just a No 1 cut and less than 10 minutes is excessive.

Hi Ray, We are sorry you were charged the price of a full Gents cut on this day - as said on the phone when we called to apologise it was a genuine mistake from a newer staff member who was unaware you paid less. We do hope Ryan’s phone call to you has helped resolve this and we see you again in the future. Many thanks. HK
