The staff is wonderful-- super nice, professional. The salon is great too, it's well kept and has a…read morenice atmosphere. My lower rating is more for the price. I paid a ridiculous amount for the keratin treatment, which has so-so results. I've had it done in NYC before for probably half the price and better results (maybe its b/c HOB uses the safer keratin version which is great but they should lower the price if you're hair isn't going to get the same results..) I came here out of pure convenience, as I was visiting and it's down the street; otherwise if I had more time and/or actually lived in London I would find elsewhere to get the treatment done. Haircut was fine, though with the high price they should've included it since it was just a trim. Also, they did not mention on the phone that they offer a free wash/blowdry 3 days after the treatment; I booked my flight for that evening so I paid all that money but missed out on that part. Bottom line, if you want kertain: DON'T GET IT HERE. Way too expensive and results aren't great. update: about 6 weeks post keratin treatment..now I'm just mad at myself for paying the absurd amount I did for this awful, awful treatment. It's like my hair didn't get treated at all. not any less frizzy, not any easier to blowdry. WHAT A WASTE. ugh I suppose for myself its a lesson learned but as mentioned don't even think of getting keratin done here, it's completely not worth it.

Im not sure the prices are all that reasonable - and are something more like what you would expect in Central London. Saying that, Ive had my hair cut there a few times, and it has always been very nice. Only problem is - whenever I go back to have my hair cut by the same person who did it before - they have always left the business. I dont know if staff retention is a problem, or if the staff simply are employed as contractors, but I find it a bit off putting. As Im sure many people would agree, that once youve found someone who does your hair well, you want them to be there to do it next time round. Only other thing that puts me off is that its normally empty - even on a Saturday. The girls who work there smoking outside every 5 minutes isnt a great advert either Im afraid.
