Jenna

"I was on your client testimonials page on the head games website and I just wanted to say that my hair cut/ highlight with Jenna Richardson on Tuesday was the best one that I've ever gotten! I am so happy with it, and she was extremely friendly and did exactly what I asked for. Jenna also recommended the sea salt root booster and the Use Me Cleanser and Moisturizer and they work so well! I have already recommended her to a few friends and I just wanted to let you know what a great job she did!"
~ Brianna Schoen

Christina

"Hi, I wanted to take a quick minute to say how happy I was after my appointment with Christina.I saw her for a brow wax and eyebrow/eyelash tint.I am very fair skin and usually schedule my eyebrow waxings at night bc I turn ridiculously red afterwards. I can honestly say after seeing Christina, I looked completely normal. It was the least painful eyebrow appointment I have ever had!"

"Jessica is fantastic! I feel perfectly comfortable just giving her the idea of what I want, and knowing that she'll either run with it and make it fabulous, or tell me I'm nuts (in the nicest way, of course!) and suggest something more flattering.

"I always feel valued and appreciated when I visit the salon. Everyone is always nice, professional, and does their very best to accommodate my needs in any way possible. From the moment I walked into the Head Games doors 4 years ago, I have always felt welcomed, relaxed and relieved to have found the best hair stylist I have ever had; thank you Kate!"
~ Alison Schestopol, cut and style with Kate

"Outside of Kate being a rock star in her artistry of hair, the rest of the staff was attentive and aware upon arrive and departing. (I was greeted very nicely on the eve of a snowstorm and was not wondering where to wait. I was also promptly assisted when I was ready to pay and depart.) Furthermore, I really like that products are recommended, but not insisted upon like other salons in town that seem to have an aggressive, distasteful sales approach."

"Kate is a wonderful asset to your business. If Kate suggested I do something completely out of my comfort zone with my hair, I would let her do it. She has great style, personality and skills."

"Kate was amazing and so very very talented... I was so comfortable with Kate and she gave me exactly what I was looking for.. A sexy, curly tousled look that lasted in the BLIZZARD... No frizzing or drooping in style.. It was amazing.."
~ Dawn Gordon, services with Kate

"I came in asking for help to heal a very awkward hair cut. Kate listened attentively, asked questions about what I might like to have, and I trusted her to do the correct thing to "fix" my hair. I left with a wonderful, comfortable and attractive style that makes me feel beautiful. It's as if she saw within the bright woman asking for a more fitting crown. I am very, very pleased with the results and with the time I spent in your facility. I am very chemically sensitive and this is the only safe salon I have found in 15 years! I will save my $$ and be back!"
