Hair Colour/cut and blow dry with Katie

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

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.

Just had the most amazing balayage done by Richard at HeadFirst, and I couldn’t be happier! ✨

As someone with Asian skin, I was a bit nervous about finding the right tones, but Richard absolutely nailed it. He took the time to understand what I wanted and delivered the most beautiful, natural-looking balayage that complements my complexion perfectly. The blend is seamless, the color is gorgeous, and I’ve already received so many compliments!

Super professional, friendly, and truly talented—highly recommend Richard if you’re looking to elevate your hair game! 💇‍♀️💁‍♀️

Thank you, Richard & team at HeadFirst! ❤️
