I decided to book with this stylist due to the reviews. Overall my stylist went over and above to try and get the results I wanted, it was made known that my hair would be a big job though I didn't feel so. Instead of free hand, I got foils which had to be done I was told to cover all the colours in my hair. The colour after was a bit more Ashy then I would like but the results were better then what previous stylists had achieved. My only complaint and advice is that the foils need to be placed and removed alot more gently as well as when drying the hair.
Other then that the salon was busy with a positive atmosphere and the girls all seemed to work very well together!
I have received Compliments on my new look and I would return.

All the staff looked after her beautifully and Hannah now has a new client who will be back again soon! Thank you for taking good care of her x

I’ve been to many hairdressers in the past, but never have I EVER had such a lovely, funny, talented and professional hairdresser. Not only is Daniel talented at what he does, he is also a gorgeous human being that has me belly laughing the whole time I’m in the salon. I am so bloody pleased that I now have a hairdresser for life! Thank you so much to everyone at Hob - you all are amazing. Such lovely and friendly people xxxx

After searching for the that comfortable feeling, I found it at Epping. Daniel is welcoming and invested in each client to Make sure they leave with the “good feeling”, I had a twirled with the idea of finally putting colour to my hair after 33 years, not knowing what I needed Daniel made sure to talk me through the stages and gave me the perfect look and I couldn’t be happier.

While you can’t stop and smile when he starts to sing, his professional abilities is on point and yes I alway leave with that good feeling.

Sophie was outstanding as always and I will continue to seek her always when booking an appointment. Her attention to detail is exemplary.

My query is to the wider of why when staff no longer need to wear PPE why towels are still not be used and the customer remains paying for this. The risk is greater with a lack of staff PPE than a towel. This does not appear rational!
