Services
Hobson & Quinn are not like your average barber. We sit in between the traditional barber shop with great clipper and razor skills, and more expensive hairdressers where scissor cuts are more popular. Either way, you can discuss exactly what you want with our trained staff before we get started. Our friendly team have a mixture of experiences from both barbering and hairdressing, so between us we can cover every aspect of men's hair.
We're here to make you look and feel great and we pride ourselves on giving you a quality, relaxing experience, with trained staff and the best products. Our customers tell us they value the advice we give on styles, treatments and maximising their look. But while we offer a premium service, we don't charge premium prices; instead providing 'affordable luxury'.
You take pride in your appearance and love to look great. That's why at Hobson & Quinn our unique, boutique male grooming service will make you feel your best every day. The way your hair looks makes a statement about you, so it has to look sharp. Our signature cut, includes reviving head massage, shampoo and condition using Malin + Goetz hair products.
We would always recommend our signature cut which includes reviving head massage, shampoo and condition using Malin + Goetz hair products. Without the hair wash and head massage book a standard cut, allow 20 minutes. The standard cut can only be booked if you have no product in your hair.
Please note if you have booked a standard cut and have product in your hair the barber may not be able to cut it without washing your hair and time will not have been allocated to do this service.The skin fade is a cut that comes in a variety of forms, including the high, mid and low skin fade. We class a skin fade less than a 1 grade.

Decent haircut, the shape up wasn’t great had to finish it off myself. No cut throat used to shape up or take away neck hair. Nice laid back feeling the barbers are not in a rush to get you out of the chair. The appointment system is ideal of you don’t like waiting but personally I think overall the quality doesn’t justify the price.

I went to to Hobson and Quinn to get a haircut and beard shave. I was served by Charlie and Jason respectively and their job was brilliant. Well worth the price for the quality and I will be returning when I'm next due a trim! Wouldn't recommend anywhere else in Reading!

I have been ordering some amazing mens grooming products over lockdown from these guys. With so much choice out there on line they have been really helpful in advising me on what products to buy for my skin type. They also threw in some samples of other similar products I should try next time. Need to open a store in Bristol !

Superb salon. Very modern and cool, and the team use very high quality products. The whole salon and the service are extremely high-end while the prices are very reasonable. Would gladly pay a lot more. Would definitely recommend, the hair cut was so good I wouldn't even bother considering anywhere else in Reading.

Given how much they charge for a haircut, you'd think they might take more care over their work. The person doing the cutting didn't spend enough time working out how to deal with my very thick hair; two weeks later, I need another haircut. For £25, I expect a pretty good snip. This ain't; worse, it's poor value compared to both a £10 barbershop cut and a £50 salon cut. On the plus side, PPE & hygiene was good & they seem like very nice people.

Checked out Hobson & Quinn after a friend recommended them to me and after expecting 'just another barbers', I was really pleasantly surprised!
The team there are really friendly like in most barbers but its… the little things they're getting right; - a clean & tidy decor - offered a drink on arrival - quality aprons that don't leave hair all over your clothes and neck (something I hate!) - useful styling advice
My stylist, Claire, also took real care over the finish so I walked out of there feeling great! The head massage was a nice touch too!
I had a look around the great array
