Blow dry

On arrival I told the stylist I wanted a blow dry with waves. This was an experienced stylist so I felt in safe hands. My hair was washed very well with a nice massage too. I was told there was a new range of products out and would I like to try them. I said yes, sure.
My hair was blow dried with 3/4 various products used. This took a little longer than normal but I didn’t mind. After the waves was added i felt happy with my hair although it wasn’t how my hair normally looked after waves are added. I left happy. Unfortunately after a couple hours my hair completely dropped leaving one side almost straight and the other flat. My hair also felt full of product. I was very, disappointed. As I was hoping not only would my hair look great for that evening, but all the next day too.
Never experienced that before so I can only assume it was the products perhaps. Wouldn’t have another blow dry at hobs again.

Hi Siobhan,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to hear that you were not informed of Adam's departure when we called to confirm. It is important to us that our clients have all the necessary information when booking an appointment.

We value each of our customers and we understand how difficult it can be when a regular stylist is not available. We will take this opportunity to remind our team of the importance of communicating this kind of change to our clients.

Once again, thank you for letting us know your experience and we hope to see you soon at HOB Salons Loughton.

I just wish tipping could be done on the card. I brought cash specifically, but then getting change is hard when there is no cash in the till.

As a first time client, I was really impressed with Natasha. We had an initial discussion about my hair, which was really comprehensive, then moved onto the best options in terms of style and manageability. I found her very professional, informative and focused, providing explanation of what was happening during the entire process, which really puts you at ease. Overall a great service and will be a returning client.
