My customer experience at the Epping salon has always been fantastic. Recently there was an issue with my booking and Gemma was very apologetic and quick to resolve the issue which I really appreciated. I was grateful to Daniel who stayed late to fit me in quickly. I really value Daniel's attention to detail and the time he takes to colour my hair. In fact I wouldn't have anyone else colour my hair!

I entered the salon with lockdown hair and left with a lovely shiny graduated bob cut. I have since been back to Maria for a wash/b’dry. I’m very pleased to have found HOB recommended by neighbour.

All staff were super friendly, I was offered a great deal if I return and the time slots as early as 8am is incredibly convenient for me and will definitely intice me back.

I can’t thank Sophia enough for her knowledge, professionalism and patience (I have a lot of hair!) in working her magic in creating an Autumn inspired new look. My hair before was dry, frizzy and in need of a cut. Olaplex in the colour has restored life back to my hair. It feels great, looks amazing. Very happy with the results. It was my first time to Hobbs salon Epping and was very happy with the service and the salon. I’ve booked in my next appointment so see you soon! Highly recommend.
