"Men’s grooming is getting serious, as a new
realm of award-winning hairdressing has been launched, coated in a
masculine atmosphere. Founded on classic barbering skills that outdo the
rest, North-West London has become the place to go for Men ‘in the
know’.
"Recognising the need for a male-specific salon
that offers personalised service and precision cutting, this month has seen the opening of a new breed in Men’s grooming, with the
launch of exclusive men’s grooming salon, HOB Man.
"The 24th salon for this award-winning group, HOB
Man is the first solely men’s branch, and the 12th Franchise branch to
launch in the group. Opened by expert Barber Adam Carvin, a team of the
very best in gent’s styling have been hand-picked by the HOB Man
Franchisee to ensure only the most premium of service and male grooming
is delivered consistently.
"Renowned for his men’s cutting expertise and
barbering skills, Adam will head up the highly-trained team who will be
on hand to deliver the ultimate in Men’s grooming in the North-West
London institution of Brent Cross Shopping Centre.
"Open 7 days a week, HOB Man is now a place for
men to indulge in a range of tailored services, including Men’s Cut and
Finish and brush-on colour services, through to bespoke men’s treatments
and the classic Hot Towel Shave.
"The contemporary salon, which is located on the
upper mall, with a prime location outside Boots and Marks & Spencer, emulates the atmosphere of a barber’s in high-end luxury salon
surroundings, in keeping with the HOB brand. Housing ten styling stations
accompanied by ten backwash sections, clients can relax, knowing they are
in the hands of true masters in their field.
"Speaking on the new opening, HOB Salons Director
Paul Simbler expressed:
"We are all very excited about the opening of HOB Man. We have always catered to Men’s styling, but have seen a big change in the male market and see a demand for a dedicated grooming experience too. The launch of HOB Man does just that, offering every man a place to relax in the hands of barbering experts, with the addition of added luxury services such as a Hot Towel Shave."
"HOB Man Franchisee Adam Carvin, who brings nearly
30 years of experience to the new Brent Cross salon,
said:
"I couldn't wait to open our HOB Man doors last Friday! This launch introduces gents to a new level in men’s grooming, and really give guys the chance to feel pampered with luxury service and impeccable barbering."

I saved up to experience this new realm in mens hairdressing and came away thinking I have paid twice as much for a haircut I'd get on the Edgware Road.
ReplyDeleteI always thought fancy places like this were full of enthusiasm and strictly catering to a clients every need with suggestions and long term goals. Sitting in the chair was what can only be described as a lonely place where I had to start every conversation about things I thought the stylist would be interested in. I'm the kind of person who cannot sit in silence, to me it would be rude.
The conversations between stylists while in the process of cutting hair made me wonder how its possible to cut hair with no sleep. A sign the profession takes 2nd place to ones social life and makes a mockery of the prices charged.
The stylists who were not busy were just lazying around clock watching. If this was my profession and I wasn't busy i'd go over to another stylist and watch, perhaps ask the client a question and generally appear interested in my trade. Make a joke perhaps about seeing them the next time you visit.
The music is your standard loud pots and pans banging away usually played by a noisy neighbour who doesn't have to get up for work.

A £25 haircut that involves no basic hair washing at the start or finish of a cut is truly amazing. The offer of a drink would be nice.
ReplyDeleteHOBman has all the potential in the world to be on top, but needs to deliver from start to finish on basics even a conman would get right.
Take a look at Teds Grooming room in comparison. The prices are slightly higher, so is the location for its operating rates. The service from Teds differs from HOBman, less time is spent on filling chairs and is a start to finish relaxing experience.
