Then his girlfriend beggan hitting me with her high heel on the head untill i passed out for a second, on the way i reached for her hair and pulled her down. once down i punched her on the top of her head. then i was pulled away by a friend. I am i at fault?

This is not a question of fault but about the justification of using self defense, to fight off your attackers. While your conduct prior to this fight may have not been appropriate, it would not rise to the level of being punched in the face by a man and then being hit on the top of your head, with a high heel. Since you were attacked, you have a right to defend yourself. The defense used, can not go beyond the conduct used by the other person. If you were injured, the guy could face an assault/batter charge and the girl, who hit you in the head with a high heel, could actually face aggravated assault/battery charge because the heel could be used as a weapon.
