First of all
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.
I know she’s done a great haircut when people comment on my hair

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 ?

I always know that when I go to Hobs, I leave with bouncy and lush hair that smells gorgeous. I cannot fault the cut, styling and balayage. That’s why I go back and recommend to my friends.
