Gorgeous salon with a really friendly feel. Emily is lovely and I am very happy with the cut she gave me!
Ashleigh
I have been going to another hairdresser for 15 years but so pleased I decided to go to my local salon after hearing rave reviews about the staff at Sobo. I visited this morning for full head highlights with Heather. I am absolutely delighted with the result of the colour and fantastic blow dry. Thank you.
Gillian
I have just had my first visit with Kasia and I feel that she will be my number one hairdresser. Kasia knew right away what kind of cut my hair needed to look good.
Ewa
Sarah is a fantastic hair stylist! She cuts my hair with care and it never feels rushed. I trust her completely. Also everyone is so warm and welcoming and the hot drink with chocolates is much appreciated.
Rose
I've been a client of Annaliese and Sobo for 8 years - wouldn't go anywhere else. Always in the best hands, nothing is too much trouble, and the atmosphere is lovely. It's always a happy, relaxing visit and some much needed downtime. Love Aveda products so was keen to find an Aveda salon, which Sobo is! Highly recommend.
Jennifer
Delighted with the cut but also the colour chosen for me today by Emily. We've had a few appointments now to rectify a poor colour (from another salon) & today we achieved a fabulous result! Emily really listens to what her client hopes for & continues to discuss her approach throughout the cutting stage; I really appreciate this, as it shows her confidence in her ability, which in turn put me at ease. I was so happy with the final result too. Thank you, Emily - see you in 6 weeks
Lesley
Last minute haircut decision, could've gone horribly wrong, but Heather was brilliant! She's one of those very rare hairdressers who listened, and then did exactly what I asked for. Great cut, and great chat. I will be back again.
Vicki
I'm absolutely thrilled with my hair - this was my first time having my hair coloured and Kasia has done it so naturally. Trust her completely.
Zoe
Sarah did an amazing job in my hair! Totally recommend for wavy and curly girls that fear haircuts. Everyone was so nice and friendly! The place is also beautiful and you get a lovely scalp massage!
