After having my hair tinted and highlighted by the ever excellent Lianne, I had the wonderful Jack for a cut and blow dry. I love the way he takes the time to check the cut is even and knows exactly how I want it to look. This time I had the added bonus of having Jack to shampoo my hair too and had a treatment with a head massage. He has great head massaging skills!! Happy customer.

David is talented and highly skilled at cutting hair. As my hair has grown, the true extent of his skill has shown as often once we wash our own hair the effects of a hair cut have worn off. But not with mine. Beautiful at the start, beautiful two weeks later and beyond, David truly knows what he's doing. I am very impressed.

Awful hair cut

I have been going to this branch for over 20 years snd this was the Worst hair cut I have ever had. I cant believe how awful I look. Too short and not cut well at all. I cant disguise it at all. I have just got to pray it will grow out quickly. Such a shame as the young man who cut my hair was polite and kind but he did a very bad hair cut

On Saturday , I am a key worker due to my hectic scheduled week i didn’t have any free time to do my hair . I came in Hob and talked to One of the lady who welcome me and immediately book me in for a wash blow dry despite that it was a very very busy day. I came out happy excellent service 5 stars - on top of that added a coffee …
I would recommend everybody give it a go for excellence top service can’t compare.

I came in for a balayage and blow dry. Alessia was my colourist and she was amazing! Before my appointment they cut a sample of my hair to bleach before hand to make sure I’d be happy with the colour then did a patch test which I thought was great. After having done the sample colour she called me in to see if I had liked it and only when I was satisfied did she do it. She asked me on my preference of style and achieved my perfect look! I was really happy with the job. Jack took over for styling and did amazing! I loved the blow dry and styling. He did a great job considering how thick and curly my hair is, it was a massive transformation. I am really happy and certainly will come back again.

I wanted a complete restyle from shoulder length to crop. David did an excellent job, boldly chopping where previous stylists have been a bit timid. It’s a tiny bit shorter than anticipated, but a great cut that will grow to just the right length. Thank you!
