Kelly was bang on with knowing what to do with my hair. I got a toner to get rid of some nasty colours. Amy was the one who applied the toner and the results came out better than I hoped for! Thank you both so much and can’t wait for my highlights in a few weeks time!

I’m a long time client who lives how Billy cuts my hair. Today I decided to have lots cut off as I was fed up with the Bob I’d had for years. Billy spoke to me about step as he was cutting and I love the end result.

Kay was excellent. Unfortunately the junior that washed my hair was awful. She ran cold water on me until it warmed up. The shampoo was quick and not at all thorough and no head massage offered. Not acceptable. Kay asked her to give me another wash and she did with a 2 sec head massage. I hate to complain but I know you would want to know. Kay was excellent

Team Member: Georgie

Appointment verified by Shortcuts Software

Georgie was very friendly and helpful and contacted Kelly to confirm my colour details as Kelly was away.

The only strange thing is that when I booked on the phone the day before, I asked the lady who took the booking to check whether my colour details were held on the system. Initially she was unsure but when I asked her to check, she said yes they were. However, that turned out not to be the case, as Georgie checked and no records were held. She said she would update them. It’s only a small thing but I felt I’d been lied to by the person that took the booking which made me feel that the salon was not as ethical as it could be.

Overall the experience was good but can be improved with the availability of wi-fi, which has been ‘not working’ since I started visiting HoB on a regular basis, over a year ago.

Finally, in 2022 it would not be difficult for non-dairy milk to be available for your client’s tea, especially as Morrison’s is opposite and Organico is next door. Being told every 4 weeks that ‘no, we don’t have that but we do have herbal’ is slightly annoying for a brand that prides themselves on being towards the top end of the market.

Shelley is a brilliant hairdresser. This is the third time I’ve come to her for a blowdry. Every time she has done a fantastic job.
The down side of this experience was the cold greeting I received on arrival from ***** and also the fact that the water was cold on the hair wash. But the actual blowdry was phenomenal.
You were let down I think by your front of house staff who lacked warmth and welcome.

Such a delightful experience at Hobs with Georgie yesterday. She is very welcoming and caring making our experience a joy. My daughter has not had her hair cut at a salon In 10 years because of a bad experience. I have been her hairdresser until now. Georgie made her feel comfortable and listened to her ideas. The result is outstanding. Furthermore, she turned my dull boring style into a colorful work of art - look younger and feel wonderful!♥️
