Headhunter Reaction to Rejected Offer

Does anyone know how headhunters might react to you rejecting an offer from one of their clients without having another offer in hand? I went through on-cycle but realized it was too early for me to sign two years of my life away and now am curious if the headhunter whose client I interviewed with will ignore me going forward. Thank you!
