Richard always cuts my hair so well that on those busy days when I don’t get time to blow it dry myself it just falls into place and looks good - impressive for a shorter haircut! A very talented hairdresser, thanks again

Helen is a brilliant hairstylist and colourist! I always love my hair when she’s done it. Before I started going to Headfirst and seeing Helen, my partner used to dread me having my hair done because I never liked it afterwards and used to moan on for ages. Now he’s very happy because I’m always very happy when I’ve been to see Helen 😃

Perfect Highlights (by Jasmine ) — I Love My Hair!

Prachi Bais
4th Feb 2026

I went in for a root touch-up and highlights, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Jasmine did an amazing job blending the color so naturally — my highlights look fresh, bright, and beautifully done. Everything was applied with great care and attention to detail.

The whole experience was relaxing, the salon was clean and welcoming, and the staff was very friendly. I left feeling confident and loving my hair. Highly recommend this salon for anyone looking for professional color work!

Ellie is amazing and listened to exactly what I wanted and my hair was even better than what I was hoping for … can’t recommend her enough! The salon is great, really friendly staff and I would highly recommend both Ellie and the salon itself
