Men’s cut

Best haircut I’ve had in years, hands down. Perfect thing I needed before lockdown! Would really recommend Jack, needed really little input to get what I wanted.

Only complaint would be that the receptionist didn’t wear a mask when talking to me. This made me feel unsafe. Otherwise I felt safe whilst having hair cut.

I love my new hair style!
My hair was long overdue a restyle and David did an amazing job cutting it shoulder length with a natural balayage that gives it light and texture. The colour is fantastic and I’ve already had compliments.

Shana is one of those rare stylist who actually listened when I told her I am growing out my hair and please cut the minimum possible amount. I really like the cut, it's light, has body while keeping the length, and she gave me a killer blow dry. The curls stayed even after a good night's sleep.

As always i thoroughly enjoyed my wash, cut and blow-dry at Hobs salons in Whetstone. Everyone is so friendly and professional, especially at these times of covid, all the staff were wearing PPE and everything was being cleaned after each customer. I always look forward to my hair cuts at the Salon and I'm very thankful to Christie for her amazing skills! She always knows what will suit me and what not and gives her honest opinion. Thank you!

Terrible blow dry

Appointment verified by Shortcuts Software

Hi, I can’t remember the name of the gentlemen who just done my blow dry but I think he might have been a trainee as he seemed very new. I showed him a photo of the blow drys I have had previously and also explained how the girl does them. It didn’t look the same, very flat and just did not look like I had my hair done in a salon, also didn’t even put hair spray in to hold so by the time I got home it had already fallen out. Really not happy. I am now having to straighten it so it was a complete waste of money and time.

Been having my hair done by Laurence for approximately 25 years and have stuck rigidly to the same style. Have always kept my hair reasonably long and finally with a degree of trepidation agreed to have it cut a lot shorter.. Laurence did a fantastic job and am liking my new hair style. He is the only person I will. Allow to cut my hair.

Christie goes above and beyond to deliver not only excellent hair cuts and blow dries but also great tips. Since she recommended a clear shampoo and to shampoo my hair twice to prevent build up, my hair is in such better condition and no longer feels greasy. Highly knowledgeable and I’m never disappointed when I leave the salon!
