Owner & Lead Stylist
Jacob Lindie is the owner of Heads High Brixton, and his expertise lies in the art of cutting hair – he’s also one of the best curly hair specialists in Brixton! He loves what he does because he can create a perfect cut that you don’t need to spend too much time styling.
One of the things Jacob enjoys the most is educating his clients on how to make the most out of their hair. He provides valuable advice on products and techniques that can help you achieve a salon-quality finish at home. And he’s always up for a friendly chat, making him the perfect choice for those who enjoy engaging conversations while getting their hair done.
With 20 years of experience behind the chair, Leni Dos Santos has been shaping hair and confidence since 2006. After studying at the renowned Saks Academy in Covent Garden, she honed her craft in some of London’s top salons including Headmasters and Live True, before running her own salon in Brazil.
Balayage is where Leni truly shines – especially air-touch balayage – and she loves creating soft, lived-in blondes that grow out beautifully. A signature look? Think modern-day classic: blonde, below-the-shoulder hair with effortless waves.
For Leni, it all starts with a great consultation. She believes in tailoring every style to her client’s lifestyle – whether that means a low-maintenance lived-in colour for someone on-the-go, or a sleek layered cut for someone who loves styling at home. The goal? Every client leaving the chair feeling confident, fresh and totally themselves.
Clients describe Leni as warm, welcoming and focused on helping them reach their hair goals. On a first visit, she may be quieter while concentrating, but don’t be fooled – once you get to know her, you’ll find a total chatterbox who loves connecting with people.

Jacob has been doing my hair for over 5 years and every single time i have been I have left happy and always been constantly recommending to friends / family. I have had my haircut, coloured, styled and treated here and Jacob always does a top job. It’s such a rare find to get a hairdresser that wants to listen to your request. Emma Latham-Jones2025-04-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best hair cut and colour I’ve had in years! Tried quite a few places in south London and Heads High tops them all by miles. Feeling super grateful. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend Janice Sheridan2024-12-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a relaxed salon, had a lovely time there. Jodie did an amazing job with my hair, I had a full head of highlights. Couldn’t recommend more! Daniel Morgan-Blake2024-11-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visiting this hairdresser was a new experience for me. I was taken by my fiancé, who is fully responsible for my hair, it’s style, length and the maintenance of it. It got to a point when she said “your hair needs a trim”. As I do when it comes to her and my hair, I said “ok, let me know when and where”. My fiancé has taken me to a few places in the past and often had problems with the end result. I mentioned her plans for me to a family member of mine, and was told about Heads High. This hairdresser was highly recommended to me by my sister, who went on to tell me the long list of my family members who have visited this salon recently, all of who were very impressed and most of who have been on multiple occasions. I told my fiancé about it and she said “let’s give it a go”, so we did. The salon is in Brixton, but you would not think it was for afro hair, like mine. I can only say good things about the salon and the hairdresser, Jacob, who did my hair. I was a big fan of the décor, the layout, the colours and the space. I enjoyed good company and conversation with the hairdresser, who, along with a bubbling soundtrack, made the 90 minutes of attention I got fly past. I was there with my fiancé who was made to feel very welcomed too. Jacob listened to her wants for my hair, her previous problems, what she wanted to avoid and what she was hoping to achieve. He also explained what he was doing and why, what he was trying, the options available, the products he was using/going to use and what was to be expected from these products. He gave her good advice on what else she can do when caring for my hair, and some things she can do differently, including random pieces of equipment she can use and where she can get particular products from. I think how much Jacob spoke to and shared with my fiancé, really made her feel better about having my hair in his hands. It made clear his knowledge and experience of dealing with afro hair and achieving what she was after, along with giving another perspective on the hair on my head. I must apologise to Jacob for often mentioning my barber. He did make it clear that he is not a barber, even though he did get some clippers out and did a very good job with those too! It was the first time I visited Jacob at Heads High and can fully understand why so many of my family members have been, and on numerous occasions. I too will be going back, and would highly recommend Heads High to anyone needing or wanting a trip to the hairdressers. Thanks again (from both of us)! Gabriella Boxall2024-10-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my first ever curly hair cut today with Jacob - it was amazing! I’m almost speechless by how impressed I am, not just with the cut, but also with the salon and how jacob taught me what’s best for my curly hair. I would 1000% recommend to anyone, and will be back soon! Thanks once again Jacob 🤩 Yani Hernandez2024-08-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went for a colour consultation with Ana last week to bring some life into my curly hair. I am so happy with the results. It is so beautiful and compliments my curls and skin tone so well. I’ve found my new go-to salon! Niina Nummi2024-08-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely salon and great service! Would wholeheartedly recommend Ana if you're looking for a new hairdresser 🙂 marina silveira2024-08-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Found the salon a few months ago, have now been twice and have to say I absolutely love it!! The staff is super friendly, it’s a lovely little location and superb job. I have thick curly hair so it has been difficult to find a salon that knows how to cut it, took a chance on Heads High and I couldn’t be happier. Ana Claudia does an amazing job every time, very attentive, super friendly, listens to what I need and gives my hair the best care. Absolutely love this salon, so recommend it!
