We had an evening event to celebrate my sister’s ruby wedding. There was 3 of us that went to Hobs for styling. My niece was very pleased with her cut and curls.
My sister and I had our hair put up by Gillian. The experience was great right from the start, the consultation, the process and the outcome.
We felt all glammed up and loved the results. Still good the day after!
Gillian is so personable, I had no difficulty in letting her take charge. The Prosecco was a nice touch.
Thanks Gillian. You made it an enjoyable experience.

I cannot give enough praise to Gillian's talent, professionalism and artistic eye among many other of her outstanding qualities as a hairdresser! Gillian has been my hairdresser for 25 years and I have always left the salon after she's done my hair, feeling fabulous and uplifted!
Today she has truly managed to make magic by creating an amazing and beautiful transformation of my hair. I decided to take off my extensions, after 15 years of regularly having them done. What Gillian created can only be described as pure magic! I could not believe the beautiful hair cut and colour that she managed to create! I am still in shock at the stunning transformation! Thank you so much! You really took care of me, created the best colour to go with my skin tone and gave me the most amazing and flattering haircut that enhances my facial features (And this is not an easy task since I am entering my sixth decade in age!). Gillian! You really are a true magician and an invaluable asset to Hob! Thank you for your incredible talent! I left feeling like a new person, completely transformed with my new beautiful, bouncy and shiny hair style!
I love the new salon - very state-of-the-art - Anthony and every member of staff are always unfailingly friendly and welcoming! Lovely atmosphere too. I highly recommend this little jewel of a salon - You will not be disappointed!

Patricia has been doing my hair for years and is brilliant. She’s always ready with great advice, the colour and cut looks brilliant and I always leave feeling better about myself. She is the perfect mix of chatty but also lets me work when I need to. She’s brilliant and I trust her advice. I love the new look salon. My one criticism is the music is a bit too loud. I couldn’t quite hear over the music and hairdryers when we were talking. I also needed to do some work and it was hard to concentrate.

Anthony worked with me to find a new style. He seemed excited to create something for me I would like which was refreshing. I would highly recommend him. I’m very happy with my cut and have booked to see him again. He was finishing up with another client and apologetic for keeping me a short while. It was no problem. Considering it was the opening day of the salon I felt really looked after by all staff. I have found my local hairdressers and shall be going back.
