Our
HERITAGE
HOB Salons began in 1983 as Hair on Broadway, with a clear vision—to bring the 5-star West End hairdressing experience to the suburbs of London. Our first salon opened in Mill Hill over 42 years ago, and today, that vision still remains the same. Now with 16 salons and over 300 team members, we are proud to be recognised for our award-winning hairdressing, combining expert craftsmanship with an exceptional client experience. From fresh cuts to beautiful colour and bespoke styling, we ensure that every client leaves looking and feeling their best, every time they visit.
