Hobs has always been my go to. I have a different stylists almost every time. They are all very skilled. This time round Fizz did my cut and blow dry. I’ve never had my hair feeling so light and health. The style makes me look younger - which I love. I told her what I was looking for and she made some suggestions. She married my thoughts with her ideas and the result was the best haircut I could’ve asked for. Lesson… trust your stylist!
