Balayage
Our balayage specialists create natural-looking, low-maintenance colour gradients tailored to your skin tone and lifestyle. Using advanced freehand techniques, we ensure seamless transitions between shades that grow out beautifully. Clients receive personalised aftercare advice to maintain their colour vibrancy between visits.
Precision Cuts
Expertly tailored haircuts focus on enhancing facial features and complementing natural hair texture. Our stylists use precision sectioning techniques to create shapes that maintain structure while allowing for easy home styling. Each cut includes a consultation to ensure long-term manageability.

Specialist stylists trained in the Curly Girl Method provide cuts and treatments specifically for wavy to coily hair types. We use curl-specific techniques to enhance natural patterns while reducing frizz. Clients receive product recommendations and styling demonstrations during appointments.

I can definitely say this is the best balayage I have ever had. Yeison is a real pro and really takes the time to figure out what colour would suit you best when you show him what you are looking for. If you doubt it, go check their Instagram! I really loved the atmosphere in the salon, clearly a lovely gang.

Amazing service, and very accommodating when Ive had to change appointments. Both Jacob and Yeison are so welcoming to new clients and I can honestly say I never walk out of the salon with a complaint of how they do style my hair.
100% recommend this salon.

I tried to dye my hair blue and got it horribly wrong; thankfully Jacob was able to work with my mistake and get it looking exactly as I wanted! I went with semi permanent colour and he was really honest with me about how it might not take very well as my hair wasn't bleached. It came out great but I really appreciate the honesty- this is a hairdresser that you can trust to prioritise customer satisfaction over profit. I had told him that I'm on a budget and he was able to get the look I wanted for just 30 after explaining the options to me; I'm really happy with my crazy blue hair and will definitely

I recently had my first post-lock down haircut at Heads High Brixton and am delighted with the service and with the cut. The salon is clean and airy and the staff are all very courteous and professional. I was extremely well looked after by Jacob and his team. My hair looks and feels much better! Thank you.
