Katie is an absolute godsend!

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.

Fantastic experience at Headfirst as I had my hair colored and cut, and the result is stunning. The stylists here really listen to what you want and offer great advice. What I love most is how great they are with children. My kids actually look forward to getting their hair done here because the staff is so patient and welcoming. Five stars from our whole family!"

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.
