Great professional job by Eva. She was lovely, polite, engaging and gave me a lot of advice about my hair and products. I was really pleased with the result. The only negatives were that the music was a little loud for me and I wasn’t aware my services would take 5 hours! I haven’t had this done very often so a heads up about the time it would take would have been good. Other than that I am really pleased.

Fizz is always willing to talk through possible styles/ways of cutting, with me & is highly skilled, both in terms of practical application & knowledge.
I’ve never received a bad hair cut, or bad customer service; the standards maintained by Hobbs is consistently high.
Very much appreciated.

I asked for longer at front,
I got longer at back,not straight across but rounded.
Lopsided to boot.
I asked for at least an inch to two inches off,l got 1/2 an inch.

What would be the point of complaining.
If you cant get it right first go,what are chances of getting it right second go???

Booked a last minute blow dry and was fitted in at the time I was hoping for, I then turned up a bit earlier as realised I had a dental app that clashed. They were great and accommodating and I had a great blowdry by stylist Gemma. Really friendly lady and I’d love to go back for colour and cut but parking is a bit awkward in Southgate ..
