Natasha is such a talented and fantastic stylist. My hair is always fantastic when I see her. But today she made the colour much lighter and brighter. I’m so delighted! This is why I’ve been a client at Headfirst for almost 30 years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else

Highlight

I first went in for highlights about six months ago, and honestly, my hair was extremely dry and brittle at the time. They were so honest with me and told me that my hair needed some care before they could highlight it again. They recommended a few products and suggested I come back in 4–5 months.

The products they recommended were honestly amazing and made such a huge difference to my hair! My hair feels so much healthier and stronger now. And when I went back for my highlights, they did such a beautiful job and matched the color perfectly to the picture I showed them. I absolutely love how it turned out! 🤍

Highly recommend them if you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about the health of your hair as well as making it look beautiful!

I’ve not had my hair done at a salon for a LOOOOOOONG time; and admittedly I get quite anxious about attending, because I just don’t know if I’m going to walk out with what I intended going for.
I can whole heartedly say that I left 💯 happy today and was very pleased with my overall look. I had a significant cut along with a balayage.

Natasha was one of the most pleasant members of staff I’ve ever come across in a Salon. She was very good at what she did and put me at great comfort and ease.
Furthermore, the old school playlist that was on was totally my vibeI! Haha! I will definitely be returning for future treatments and cuts. Thank you

I would recommend Katie to anyone. I've almost never been this consistently happy with my hair. The colour, the cut, the tone. I can tell that Katie is well trained, particularly on colour and my dark hair is very grateful for her! I wouldn't go to anyone else now.
