My 13 year old daughter hadn’t cut her hair in about a year and it was seriously long and in desperate need of cutting. She went for a layered, texured look and Kelvin delivered with an amazing cut and blow dry. She walked out a very happy young lady (and mum!).

Disappointed to spend this kind of money for uninspired advice and bland haircut, not to mention cheap looking balayage.
I would have preferred knowledgeable advice to maintain healthy looking hair, which I had before entering the salon .
Very disappointed!
Fortunately hair grows back and I will not trust this salon with my hair again .

Just had a cut and blow dry and it was one of the best in salon experiences I’ve had. Everyone was so friendly. The wash and head massage was amazing and Ana was brilliant.

She took the time to talk me through what cut would work best for me and my hair and then gave me the most beautiful bouncy blow dry to finish.

Would definitely recommend.

I took my 10month son there today for a haircut, the team was lovely and friendly and the service by Anna was very good as expected however at the end I was charged 25£ instead of the 18,5£( price according to the website)
So guys, either update your website or charge according to your website’s price.
For me it was not a problem but I am sure for others will be!

There are haircuts and then there are Hub Camden haircuts. Because a really good cutter is surprisingly hard to find, and outstanding cutters are like gold dust. So although occasionally, because of time, I have tried local salons (it's a bit of a journey for me to get to Camden) , I always come back to Hob Camden because I know I'm going to have an outstanding haircut there. This week Maki was available - she's always patient, listens, involves me in discussing the haircut, double-checks the amount to cut, gives advice etc. I can trust her to create a really brilliant haircut.
