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.

Colour and highlight

I feel that Eva is friendly but i am not happy with the colour that was done for me. She had few customers at the same time and at some point she did part of my colour then left me waiting for more than 10 mins. She then came back and continued. This happened few times. When she finished I asked if she was going to the full length. She replied that before washing my hair, she will cover the end. The person washing me hair did not do it. When I asked then she said as she was washing my hair the colour covered the end too. This really upset me. An apology would have been the right thing to say that they had forgotten completely rather than treating me as stupid. I even said that I could not see the highlights. I was then told that they could see it. I have been a loyal customer for a very long time. Poli used to do my hair before and I had never been treated like this. The salon no.longer feels the same.. I should agree all staff look after themselves very well though. A little attention, care and respect would have been helpful for the customers. I used to rate the service as 5* before

Originally my hair colour didn’t turn out as I had hoped, so the team invited me to come back to the salon and they put in every effort to correct it to get the desired result. They re-lightened and re-coloured my hair, and I’m now really happy with it. Great level of care and really appreciated the service.
