About

Head Case opened in Keller, Texas in 2016 and remains the flagship studio. Founder Kelley Swing, a salon owner and author, later expanded the business to the River Market district of downtown Kansas City, where the studio also runs a full spa menu.

The business builds its work around sustainability and ammonia-free color. Its color services use the Natulique Natural Colours system, which the business describes as certified organic and largely derived from natural sources, and stylists at both studios are trained on that same system. The business says its products are non-toxic, cruelty-free and environmentally responsible, that more than 95% of its salon waste is recycled, and that it holds Certified Green Business and Green Circle Salon status. Kelley Swing has written two books on sustainable and conscious beauty, and the founder's stated aim is to move the industry toward cleaner, safer and more ethical products.

Services are sold as sessions, so a visit usually starts with a personalized consultation. Haircuts, treatments and individual services can be added to a session or booked on their own. Appointments are booked online, and gift cards can be redeemed at either studio and are delivered by email. Changes or cancellations need at least 48 hours' notice; a fee of 25% of the scheduled service applies to changes within 48 hours, and cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows are charged 50% of the services booked.

The two studios differ in what they offer. Keller offers ammonia-free color, precision cutting, curly hair styling, blowouts, bridal hair and makeup, extensions, smoothing and perms, and facial waxing. The Kansas City studio offers those services plus haircuts and barbering, full body waxing, facials and spa skin treatments, head spa treatments, massage therapy and manicures and pedicures. The business reports Google ratings of 4.8 from 935 reviews for Keller and 5.0 from 262 reviews for Kansas City.

The business works from an organic, sustainable and cruelty-free position, with ammonia-free color as its core service and a focus on products that are clean and non-toxic.

The studio says salon culture is at the center of the Keller location.
