I was a little apprehensive going back to the hairdressers because of the PPE but it was much better than I’d thought. George was a delight and cut my hair exactly right and was so welcoming. Great haircut. Great atmosphere. Thank you.

I have moved 1 1/2 hours away but will still come to Hobb Northwood. Pam is cheery and totally brilliant at what she does, recommending the next move for my otherwise grey hair. She keeps me young and I really look forward to my relaxing ‘me time’ in this happy salon. So pleased for them to back and making us all more beautiful. Thanks Pam. ⭐️

Aaron is a fantastic hairdresser who always gives so much time to ensure you get the salon experience you want. Spent a lot of time discussing colour and had the best big bouncy blow dry you could ask for. Felt amazing. Love that on arrival at the salon you get a gorgeous pouch with disposable gown, towels, mask and sanitiser. So reassuring in these worrying times and made my time at the salon feel so clean, hygenic and very professional.

Whenever I walk into HOB Northwood it feels like an extended part of my family as everyone is so warm and welcoming. Everyone is always happy and very chatty with their clients and others around them. I absolutely adore Aaron as he’s very attentive (I have known him since I was a baby, 36 years ago) and he always listens to me with what I want done with my hair and helps advise what to do with it when I ask. He has never failed making my hair look fabulous. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.

I haven't been to Sarah before and she did a good job. It's not easy to communicate with masks on so my cut was shorter and a little different from the one I have from my usual hairdresser who is away on maternity leave, but I quite like it.

I have been a client of Hob in Northwood and Sarah for a number of years. Everyone is very friendly and I feel confident with the changes that have been made to make the salon safe during the pandemic. I have always been happy with the haircut Sarah does, as she listens and we discuss what is best.

First haircut with Jasmine was great. She paid attention to everything I had to say regarding my haircut and seemed interested and happy to cut and style my hair. I have pretty thick and long hair. I walked out very happy out of the salon in a very long time and definitely getting back to her.
I would highly recommend Jasmine.

Hi Cindy
We are so pleased you had a good haircut with Sarah. Our prices have remained the same and have not increased due to Covid, like other salons in the area.
We offer you 10% on your appointments as you are a loyal client and Aaron mentioned he gave you £5 off the shampoo you bought, so that he could balance out the charge of the PPE for you. He is going to make sure your backwash experience will be of a better standard on your next appointment
Many thanks

Great haircut

I find Hob salon Northwood the best I have ever been to the atmosphere is great the staff friendly & efficient. Pam the colourist is very good she always seems to get my colour perfect nothing is too much trouble, Roxanne cuts & blow dries to perfection also Jasmine blow dries my hair so smooth & doesn't rush she makes sure I am 100% happy before I leave. I am spoilt for choice I like to stick to the same stylists as they always make me feel comfortable but most of the staff are good I'm sure I have tried other salons but Hob in Northwood suits me best Aron makes sure clients are happy, I would recommend this salon
