Heads High Brixton

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.
