Graduated Bob Cut and Blow dry

Millisande Bath
5th Jul 2022
Team Member: Vitalis

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

I had a wonderful cut and blow dry at Hob, I have been to Hob for a couple of years now and find the culture and atmosphere incredibly welcoming. When I had dyed my hair myself the team were really positive and encouraging, I returned to Vitalis specifically because his favourite hair style is a graduated Bob and he did such a good job on my longer Bob look last time that I wanted him for cutting it shorter. The haircut and styling look amazing and I know it’s going to grow out beautifully.

Alex was incredibly kind, patient and lovely with me. Apart from doing a complete colour change to my hair with amazing, vibrant results, she was also honest with me about hair products. For once I felt like a hairdresser was being genuine with me and not trying to sell me stuff.
I will definitely be back !

This is a wonderful hairdressing salon. The staff are superb in all aspects. Thomasz has been doing my hair for a number of years. He is amazing at hair design, cut, colours, and styling. But the other staff are fantastic too as they are all trained by Hobbs training school. It's a wonderfully pleasant, professional, friendly service. With absolutely best quality products, superb hair colouring, stylists. Very professional reception and always kind and personal care with coffee and biscuit. I can't recommend it high enough. It is more expensive than a less expert local hairdressing service but you pay for and get the best quality. It is less expensive than central London salons. Highly recommended!

Emma’s amazing, deserves the world on a stick etc. I booked an £85 treatment and got billed £135. It got adjusted. Nothing like bill shock to impact a really good experience. Maybe better communication between reception and stylist?

I’ve got very thick long hair and prior to getting it cut and styled by Elijah, I had an idea that I just wanted a big chop so it was more manageable. Elijah disagreed and I’m so happy he did because the cut, blow dry and style was fantastic. I’m so happy with it and can’t wait for my next appointment. Thank you!!

Bryn did my colouring (balayage) and Ana did my hair cut. They were both incredible!
I’m always nervous about going to get my hair coloured, especially this time as I’m getting married next week, but it needed doing. They were both professional and friendly and gave me exactly what I asked for. The colour is beautiful, with the perfect money piece at the front.
Ana also helped me get some inspiration for my wedding look, as she curled my hair beautifully after the cut, and she subtly framed my face and fixed the long grown out fringe I had.
And I didn’t get her name, but the woman that washed my hair gave the best head massage!
It’s the best Hob salon that I’ve been to
