Great professional job by Eva. She was lovely, polite, engaging and gave me a lot of advice about my hair and products. I was really pleased with the result. The only negatives were that the music was a little loud for me and I wasn’t aware my services would take 5 hours! I haven’t had this done very often so a heads up about the time it would take would have been good. Other than that I am really pleased.

As always, today I again received an excellent & professional service.
Fizz is always willing to talk through possible styles/ways of cutting, with me & is highly skilled, both in terms of practical application & knowledge.
I’ve never received a bad hair cut, or bad customer service; the standards maintained by Hobbs is consistently high.
Very much appreciated.

Not what l asked for

I asked for longer at front,
I got longer at back,not straight across but rounded.
Lopsided to boot.
I asked for at least an inch to two inches off,l got 1/2 an inch.

What would be the point of complaining.
If you cant get it right first go,what are chances of getting it right second go???

Booked a last minute blow dry and was fitted in at the time I was hoping for, I then turned up a bit earlier as realised I had a dental app that clashed. They were great and accommodating and I had a great blowdry by stylist Gemma. Really friendly lady and I’d love to go back for colour and cut but parking is a bit awkward in Southgate ..

I had a wash cut and blowdry today with a treatment best suited for my hair with fizz at the southgate branch of HOB Salons. I had roughly 3 Inches of my hair chopped and was extremely nervous however fizz was very welcoming, made me feel so comfortable and knew exactly what was right for my hair to give me the best results. I am very happy with the outcome! My hair feels and looks much healthier.
Extremely happy client !
Thank you fizz !x

Friendly, professional, had ideas, explained what he was doing and checked up to see if I was happy. Already booked Anthony in again for September. Thank you
