Disappointed

Lilia Nazrozova

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

I believe that colour on my head was left for too long as poor girl was busy applying colour for another client. it was wrong colour after all and she had to apply toner to balance it. So I have spent more than an hour with chemicals on my head . I had itchy and burning sensation in my scalp. Staining around hairline was very difficult to remove and resulted in skin irritation. Worst experience ever. I had an amazing experience during my previous visit. I am so sad that it went wrong this time and I didn’t know if I will be able to come back.

Mia is a brilliant hairdresser, so kind and caring and really made a fuss of my daughter whose first time it was in the salon today . She is brilliant with children and Rosie loved every minute. She has been doing my hair for years and I wouldn’t go to anyone else. A fabulous hairdresser.

Upon arrival, he was equally as charming. Adrian was my stylist and I instantly felt at ease in his care. Such a lovely man, and I could tell he was super talented. He listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered exactly that. This was my first time at Hob, but I’ll definitely be back. I couldn’t rate it more highly.
