I was abit nervous to cut my hair to a bob again after such a long time. But Izzy listened to what I wanted and treated me with such care. She made sure to talk me through her steps which really reassured me and keep asking for my hair preferences which, as a curly hair girl I really appreciated and made me have trust in her even more. My beautiful curly bob is absolutely amazing thanks to Izzy! I love you and I’m definitely coming back!

Nice welcome by staff at the desk. Angela is a very professional & pleasant member of the team. I felt like she knew her trade. My only comment is I’m not sure I received the ‘intensive treatment’ as promised on the Virgin Experience day ad unless that refers to the product applied : shampoo conditioner crème & serum Everything else on the list was applied and administered very satisfactorily. Many thanks.

paid £80 for a flat blow dry, layers could barely be seen & didn’t get the bouncy ‘flick’ i wanted. had to come back to the salon right after to ask for him to re do it - it still looks dull, has gone flat already. he wasn’t able to do my bangs, insisted it was because of they way they are rather than the way he was styling it - i had to end up doing it myself (he said how i have my own way of doing it that he can’t replicate yet in the past i’ve had hairdressers who’ve done my bangs amazingly). safe to say i probably won’t be going back, the fact that i had to go back for a redo which i’ve never done, is enough for me to not return.

Great hair cut, great team, great salon. No matter what happens I always come back to Hob Camden. Lee is fantastic for a cut and recently changed the way my hair was cut - which make my hair look thicker (it’s rather fine), healthier and more manageable. Also Emma for colour is a goddess - she nails it every time. (All stylists I have used there are brilliant). Marco is a joy to deal with- even with my last minute panicking. Hob Camden is just professional to its core.
