I never have time for myself so today I had a little time. I went to Hob and was very lucky to be fitted In between appointments. A lovely lady called Debbie was so nice and gave amazing advice as well as an awesome wash, cut and blow dry. I'm so happy with Debbie that I've booked for colour x looking forward to making more time for myself and making Debbie at hob my new regular hairdresser. Thanks

Just had a cut and blow dry and it was one of the best in salon experiences I’ve had. Everyone was so friendly. The wash and head massage was amazing and Ana was brilliant.

She took the time to talk me through what cut would work best for me and my hair and then gave me the most beautiful bouncy blow dry to finish.

Would definitely recommend.

I took my 10month son there today for a haircut, the team was lovely and friendly and the service by Anna was very good as expected however at the end I was charged 25£ instead of the 18,5£( price according to the website)
So guys, either update your website or charge according to your website’s price.
For me it was not a problem but I am sure for others will be!

There are haircuts and then there are Hub Camden haircuts. Because a really good cutter is surprisingly hard to find, and outstanding cutters are like gold dust. So although occasionally, because of time, I have tried local salons (it's a bit of a journey for me to get to Camden) , I always come back to Hob Camden because I know I'm going to have an outstanding haircut there. This week Maki was available - she's always patient, listens, involves me in discussing the haircut, double-checks the amount to cut, gives advice etc. I can trust her to create a really brilliant haircut.
