I had Charlie and she was very helpful advising me on how to blend the colour I had to make it lighter and even did some highlights for me even though I hadn’t initially booked in for them. I was very pleased with the end result,

Blowdry

Shelley is a brilliant hairdresser. This is the third time I’ve come to her for a blowdry. Every time she has done a fantastic job.
The down side of this experience was the cold greeting I received on arrival from ***** and also the fact that the water was cold on the hair wash. But the actual blowdry was phenomenal.
You were let down I think by your front of house staff who lacked warmth and welcome.

Such a delightful experience at Hobs with Georgie yesterday. She is very welcoming and caring making our experience a joy. My daughter has not had her hair cut at a salon In 10 years because of a bad experience. I have been her hairdresser until now. Georgie made her feel comfortable and listened to her ideas. The result is outstanding. Furthermore, she turned my dull boring style into a colorful work of art - look younger and feel wonderful!♥️

It is a joy to be a client in this salon and I am very lucky to have Billy cutting and styling my hair. My son went yesterday and came away looking very handsome. Billy has done fantastic cuts on him which nobody else has managed to do. My husband also has his haircut from Billy. I had my hair done today and it looked very glamorous indeed. It definitely makes me feel more upbeat and confident. Billy used some amazing products on my hair and I purchased them all because I have 100% trust in what Billy recommends. He is so professional and friendly and individualises each cut. My hair has never looked this good before. Thank you Billy for being our family stylist. You are simply AMAZING at what you do! :)
