Booked in for the “I Love Mondays offer” so quoted the offer when making my booking then was told as I paid that “it’s only for new clients”!! Double checked the offer and it clearly states new and existing clients on having a full price cut and blow!! Which I did

Had halfhead highlights a cut and blow wave and some treatment. I realised that it was going to be a pricey morning, but these hair services were the MOST expensive session that I have ever had in my life and I am 60 yrs old. My English friends are even shocked at the price.

paid £80 for a flat blow dry, layers could barely be seen & didn’t get the bouncy ‘flick’ i wanted. had to come back to the salon right after to ask for him to re do it - it still looks dull, has gone flat already. he wasn’t able to do my bangs, insisted it was because of they way they are rather than the way he was styling it - i had to end up doing it myself (he said how i have my own way of doing it that he can’t replicate yet in the past i’ve had hairdressers who’ve done my bangs amazingly). safe to say i probably won’t be going back, the fact that i had to go back for a redo which i’ve never done, is enough for me to not return.

Great hair cut, great team, great salon. No matter what happens I always come back to Hob Camden. Lee is fantastic for a cut and recently changed the way my hair was cut - which make my hair look thicker (it’s rather fine), healthier and more manageable. Also Emma for colour is a goddess - she nails it every time. (All stylists I have used there are brilliant). Marco is a joy to deal with- even with my last minute panicking. Hob Camden is just professional to its core.

Staff very friendly & salon very clean & welcoming. When washing my hair I got a great head massage. Felt to relaxing. The male stylist that cut my hair was happy to give advice on style to suit me. My hair is short but very thick & can be a nightmare to cut but he done a great job on it & I left feeling very pampered
