Ozzie is the best for me, she’s articulate polite, experienced, knows all there is to know,. I would not like any other hairdresser to touch my hair, she’s an asset to Hobs.

I like Ozzie over the last three cuts she’s styled it beautifully. I was trying a new style amd I knew it was going to take a while to settle on something that really suited. Each time she’s been refining the cut. It’s great

I am so pleased with the outcome of my hair!

For years I've always tended to hop between different hair salons - but  since getting my hair done by Ozzie I finally feel settled with a hairdresser! Even though there's nearer salons to me, she's such a talented hairdresser aswell as being such a nice person so I think it's worth the trip.

She has such an attention for detail and puts so much care into what she is doing.  And It really shows. She's did my colour so nicely and got my blonde highlights exactly how I wanted them and I got so many compliments on my hair after seeing her!

I also went back to get a keratin with her 2 weeks later and I'm so happy with the results of that too!

I highly recommend her!  You'll be in very safe hands! ?

Thank you again Ozzie! ❤️ Looking forward to visiting again soon!

Ozzie did a fantastic job cutting my hair. She made it look and feel much thicker and healthier and the way she cut it really makes the colours show. I had loads of compliments!
I also really like the plan we have in place for as my colour grows out.

One last thing, please put a handle on the inside of the toilet door. Very hard to pull the door shut holding onto the lock. Also please talk to your review provider, hard to change one makes a mistake

My stylist is not on your list so if you want me to leave feedback this needs to be updated.
As usual gemma is amazing and knows exactly what will sort me from the start.

Excellent service as always, perfect haircut and always with new twist, lovely person with high quality skills, she can “read” my mood and without asking cut perfectly. Every single time her welcoming approach and politeness give me feeling “ as special” not just next customer. Lovely person in one world with excellent skills.

My hair stylist took her time and did my colour the way that I wanted it this time. Although I had a bad experience last time, my concern was heard this time and dealt with professionally. I have been HOBs several years now and happy that one situation was resolved. It felt very nice this time and I am very happy with my hair do ?
