How to unlock the Hairdresser achievement in Mafia II: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide
I got this in chapter 12 sea gift.
Real easy; After you get in the shoot out with the cops. You'll follow Henry and Joe up a flight of stairs,across a cat walk and into a building. Run down this corridor and duck under the window in the corner. They'll be exactly 5 guys shooting at you from the ground go ahead and take them out with headshots. What makes this area so good for this achievement is no one will be taking your kills.
I hope this helps.

I have no idea why you were downvoted. Using this solution, I got it first crack

This achievement can be done anytime there are a few places this can be done however the earliest and possibly easiest for this ach is right on the first mission when Vito is in the army. After about 5 mins you will be on a balcony with vans driving past with 4 enemies running once they all take cover aim for the head and shoot this can take a few tries but once all 4 are dead an enemy will appear on the balcony shoot him the your achievement will pop. I’m gonna add a video if you guys will find it easier.💎🏆
Load up chapter 1, normal difficulty, skip the credits and the first cutscene and simply headshot the first five enemies of the game quickly with your rifle.
I suggest starting with the leftmost soldier first as he goes in hiding otherwise, then the closest to you before he gets strangled, then the three soldiers by the steps.
Reload if you fail, the checkpoint is right where you spawn. This is way quicker than any other solution I’ve seen here.

I was able to unlock this achievement near the end of Chapter 10 Room Service. Once you have taken the elevator back downstairs, you're going to work your way back towards the hotel's laundry room. I was able to get 5 headshots in the last area right before you enter the car garage and find Marty killed. There will be about 6 guys in this area so it shouldn't be too difficult to do. One guy will be on the cat walk to the right but the rest will be ground level, as you can see in the video. The achievement did pop after I killed the last guy but for some reason my Xbox doesn't record it.
The best place I found for this was in Chapter 15. When you are going around the outside of the Planetarium, you can hit five with an Tommy or Grease gun as they come around to stop you.
There are two that rush you the first time if you're quick enough, you can get those two and the guy behind the pillar on the right, the shotgunner next and then there's two more that charge you with a Tommy Gun that make up 6 enemies.

THE EASIEST WAY TO COMPLETE THIS ACHIEVEMENT:
I know I’m years late to this thing, but there’s actually a mission designed just for this challenge in Joe’s Adventures.
If you have the DLC, go back and replay (or play) the “Supermarket” mission.
Play through until you enter the supermarket offices upstairs. Upon exiting the cutscene, you will be crouching behind the short wall overlooking the supermarket, and there will be a special gun (Karabiner 98k) leaning up against a box for you to use. It’s much like the M1 Garand, but with a touch more zoom and perhaps power (not that power matters when you’re nailing headshots).
Grab it and do your best to kill all of the targets in the room with headshots. You should be able to get 5 fairly quickly. You have good cover and an elevated position. Some cops take “cover” in exposed positions, so it’s not too hard to get 5 easy, quick headshots.

Area #1
Right at the beginning of the game when you first take control of your guy, there are five enemies that you can kill. You have to kill all five before you can progress into the building. If you mess up, just press and retry mission.
Area #2
Another easy place to do this is at the midpoint of Chapter 5. When you get on the mounted machine gun, there will be five enemies outsde to kill. Simply aim at their heads and kill all five relatively quickly. If you mess up, simply pause and restart to be back right on the machine gun to try again.

It is recommended to do this in chapter 1 2 "The Old Country".
The whole trick of the trophy is having five enemies on hand and taking them down quickly. For more ease, relaunch chapter 1 "The land of the ancestors" in easy mode. When the game offers you a first initiation to shooting, all the conditions will be met. Help yourself by pressing it very quickly so that your sight stabilizes at the level of the enemy's head and shoot with it Repeat the combination with each opponent to get the trophy.
You can help yourself with the following video which takes place during the last chapter "Per Aspera Ad Astra". The following video shows you a possible route for this trophy (Credit to San Andreas Gaming): LINK
