It has been my third time now at the Hob Camden branch, and as always the experience has been beyond excellent and I cannot recommend this salon enough. The staff is extremely professional, attentive and polite. I have had the pleasure to get a haircut by Maki and she was absolutely amazing. Such a sweet person and such a great hairdresser. She understood EXACTLY what I wanted without having a lot of explaining to do and the result was perfect! Super precise and attentive to detail. I cannot recommend her enough, she is a gem and has been so so very lovely. She made my day!
