It’s taken me 20 years since I left London to find an excellent hair stylist for me in Gloucestershire. I’m so grateful to Head Kandy to finally have a haircut I love. I’ve been showered with compliments and my self-esteem has gone up a couple of notches.

I started using Head Kandy when I moved in the area about 18 months ago and have never or will never use anywhere else again as the cut is a great standard and the whole team make the experience enjoyable. Keep up the great work guys!

Needed to brighten up my hair, and generally needed a pamper! Head Kandy was the Choice by far. Thank you for the advice regarding my hair, after 2/3 hours being pampered l was delighted to see the transformation in the colour, perfectly lifted, light and glossy. The staff at all times were friendly, helpful, listened to me as a customer, and thank you Ryan for the glass of bubbles ?

Really pleased with colour and cut as both have addressed long-standing issues e.g.colour banding, and disconnected cut. Lexi's technical skill means my graduation is no longer disconnected + doesn't fall onto my face like a separated slanting fringe.

Today, I walked in to the salon feeling like a haystack! ...and not just my hairdo. I really felt quite challenged at being out in public after staying in too long in my own company....but after a happy, friendly hair wash, a chatty, shared experience with staff and customers...and the full focus of Ryan's attention and expertise, I left feeling a million dollars!! You just cant buy service, character and experience like that. Wonderful personality too! Thank you xx

I can not pick one stylist , as usual they did an amazing job, they did not have the right colour so one of the team went to another store to get the right one. The customer service was outstanding by everyone, atmosphere was great such a happy place , and I was made to feel welcome, always go here as I have never had a bad report plus my hair is amazing as always. Would always recommend HEADKANDY 100%.

I’ve been having my hair cut and coloured at HeadKandy for a number of years. Ryan, Lauren and the team are all amazing. They treat every customer as a friend rather than a client and you come away feeling truly beautiful. Throughout lockdown they’ve gone over and above to ensure clients feel comfortable and safe. Thank you guys. Highly recommended..

Completely thrilled with my hair makeover.
It was my first visit to your salon today, and I was having a complete restyle, from long, frizzy hair to a short pixie cut.
All the staff were so friendly and welcoming, and Ryan is completely amazing at his job. Put me completely at ease, and made a potentially nerve wracking hair cut relaxing and stress free.
I feel like a completely new person, love, love, my new hair, and will definitely be rebooking when I need a trim. Thank you so much Ryan.
