I had an appointment at Head First with Natasha today and was really impressed. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and explained clearly what could be done during our initial consultation. I went for a half head balayage and cut – she did exactly what I asked for and the colour looks amazing. I felt she really understood what I was hoping for and I’m super happy with the results. I’d definitely recommend Head First and Natasha and I am looking forward to my next visit.

First-time visitor at Headfirst and I had a great experience with Katie. She did exactly what I asked for with both the colour and the trim, which I really appreciated. It’s refreshing to find a hairdresser who truly listens and delivers. Katie was also lovely and professional. I’d highly recommend her!

I was quite upset this time with staff behaviour towards me. After my root color application I was taken upstairs to put under heat. That’s what they always do to me only. I don’t know why? So this time as always I was asked do you want anything so I replied coffee and some magazines would be nice but no one return to give me anything. After more than half an hour to remind them that I am still there. Then the reply I got is we got busy downstairs.
