Love this salon. All the staff are professional friendly warm and welcoming not to mention excellent in their craft. I enlisted for the loyalty programme a few months ago the ease of booking and literally getting my hair blow dried each week has been for me such a treat and such good value. But the best part is the condition of my hair!!!!!! It has improved tenfold, I am not clumsily blow drying or using the wrong products or killing it with hair irons. It's thick healthy and looks the best it has in years. Highly recommend the salon and the loyalty client plan. I absolutely love it

I had my hair coloured and cut with Adele and she did such a fantastic job. The cut is so subtle and my hair has not sat so well for years. Really love it and highly recommend Adele.

Visited BOB salon on 23rd July for a cut and colour. I was a new client and saw Callum. He listened intently to what I wanted (I had a mass of curly hair and wanted a more structured look) and we took 10-15 mins hammering out what to do for the cut and the colour. Callum cut my hair beautifully and the colour looks really natural. He is quite the perfectionist and clearly a very talented stylist. I would highly recommend! Really nice guy as well. He has a very relaxed and chilled approach but I felt I was in good hands for the whole 3 hours. A really pleasant experience.
