I got my hair cut in layers today and I love it! Jasmine the stylist was really friendly and made my hair look so pretty. My layers make my hair feel lighter and have more movement. I’m really happy with my haircut and can’t stop smiling. Thank you! 💖💇‍♀️✨

What wonderful staff there is at HeadFirst. I got my dates mixed up today for my hair doing and yet Richard said he would do it today. He got Elham to do the colouring and Ruchard did the rest. It certainly cheered me up because I was feeling down after a nasty fall ladt week. I certainly felt better when I came out of there.

I had been to another salon who left me with awful mismatched hair. Naturally brunette and I have a blond under layer. Another salon left me with ginger roots redoing the blonde regrowth. Helen did very good work correcting the mistakes of the other salon. She clearly thought had about what I wanted and trying to achieve it taking time and care to fix my hair.

Had the best experience with Zoe for my Kera Smooth treatment.She was so professional, patient, and really understood what my hair needed. The whole process felt smooth and comfortable, and the results are honestly amazing my hair feels so soft, frizz-free, and super manageable now.
You can tell she truly cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. Highly recommend her if you’re thinking about getting this treatment done , you’ll be in safe hands.Thank you, Zoe, and the gentleman I was speaking with. I’m so sorry I didn’t catch your name.You both were so kind and welcoming, and I really appreciated the great service.
