Great hair style - unfortunate admin error

My hairstyle was done brilliantly and my stylist was super friendly and chatty. I was seen to straight away. The only things that were a shame were that I wasn't offered a drink during my appointment and the area I was sat in hadn't been swept up. Although I'd booked and paid for my appointment online, I was asked to pay a further £5 at the end, as the receptionist said the prices had increased, and I hadn't been charged correctly. I think this was unfair, the prices should be clear and upto date on the site, and any extra charges should be relayed on the onset. If there's a fault on the site, it shouldn't be a regular customer who bears the brunt of it.

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

I booked my appointment ages ago online - it was an important one as it’s for a wedding.
I had booked with Laura- and received a txt earlier in the week to confirm.
When I turned up I was told Laura no longer works Fridays anymore. Obviously this was very stressful. I said I was prepared to go home and come back- and they found me an appointment for 2.5 hours later. So HOB mistake was a massive inconvenience, since I was prepping for my niece’s wedding.
Afterwards they were polite and gave me some free samples, but in retrospect this wasn’t adequate.
Lawrence- who I had my appointment with was very good. So I was happy with the results.

My previous “hair disaster was with another hairdresser not associated with Hobs”. Honestly so happy with my visit today and I had a really relaxing experience. To add, all the staff were really nice and there was a lovely vibe to the salon.

I thought it be a good idea to colour my hair and do some DIY at home!! Never ever doing that again. My hair was more colourful than the rainbow. I stepped into the salon and was recommended to see Olivia. She gave me a consultation and then proceeded with making my hair look normal again! I am in love with this colour, a softer shade of brown. I had been recommended to use olaplex with the colour to prevent any damage, followed by a bio one mask. So happy of my experience, thank you Olivia.
