Amazing, I asked Tomaz to chop off my long hair to a cool short bob and he did it so well and paid so much attention to what was best for my super straight fine hair and face, etc. Really attentive and gave me the coolest haircut I’ve ever had. Thanks again x

Linda and Elijah are great. Took the time to find out what I wanted, gave me useful advice where I wanted their opinion. Marco on front desk is super helpful. I’m honestly not a huge fan of getting my hair cut (lazy) but I want my hair to look good and I enjoy coming here. I always get a fantastic colour and cut.

Staff very friendly & salon very clean & welcoming. When washing my hair I got a great head massage. Felt to relaxing. The male stylist that cut my hair was happy to give advice on style to suit me. My hair is short but very thick & can be a nightmare to cut but he done a great job on it & I left feeling very pampered

Graduated Bob Cut and Blow dry

I had a wonderful cut and blow dry at Hob, I have been to Hob for a couple of years now and find the culture and atmosphere incredibly welcoming. When I had dyed my hair myself the team were really positive and encouraging, I returned to Vitalis specifically because his favourite hair style is a graduated Bob and he did such a good job on my longer Bob look last time that I wanted him for cutting it shorter. The haircut and styling look amazing and I know it’s going to grow out beautifully.

This is a wonderful hairdressing salon. The staff are superb in all aspects. Thomasz has been doing my hair for a number of years. He is amazing at hair design, cut, colours, and styling. But the other staff are fantastic too as they are all trained by Hobbs training school. It's a wonderfully pleasant, professional, friendly service. With absolutely best quality products, superb hair colouring, stylists. Very professional reception and always kind and personal care with coffee and biscuit. I can't recommend it high enough. It is more expensive than a less expert local hairdressing service but you pay for and get the best quality. It is less expensive than central London salons. Highly recommended!
