My starting question is whether you think a hemomancer would be able to use their power to survive being decapitated.
My personal view is that while they would probably be able to, in the last few seconds before brain death, re-establish bloodflow between the body and the brain, assuming that their power does not require hand movements, and therefore would be able to not die immediately, because the spinal cord has been severed they would only last as long as they can continue to use their power, be it that they run out of mana or they just pass out. The only way I can see for this hemomancer to walk away as if nothing happened is if they managed to get themselves to a healer that is skilled enough to heal the spinal cord.
