Little Big Heads is always great! My daughter had her first haircut with them and every one since, shes now 9. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. Lots of patience with children. I have and will continue to recommend Little Big Heads to any parents.

We have been using little bigheads in Bramhall for 18months, and I can honestly say that I don't want to take my son anywhere else. Sarah Voice is outstanding and my little boy (who can be difficult around his hair) is so much calmer when we can get an appointment with sarah. Carina has also cut his hair with much success after a terrible haircut somewhere else. I'm so glad that one of my old school friends recommended little bigheads after she had visited the altrincham salon. Keep it up, you lot are fab!

This was the first place I got my daughter's hair cut and have continued to go back ever since. Full hair cut or just a fringe cut its always been the best service. Carina really knows how to make my daughter look and feel like a princess.... everytime. Highly recommend Little Big Heads.

Had a great visit here today. Our son Joshua hates having his hair cut. He's nearly 6 but has a phobia about it. They were really patient with him and made him feel calm and relaxed. Awesome result was his first tears free haircut ever. Thanks!!
