Usual wonderful service. I had been having difficulty styling my hair at home. John suggested a tweak to my haircut and style, which worked perfectly, even my husband approved! John is always very helpful and professional. I look forward to seeing him.

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.
