HoD is VFM?

[a203203]

With the inflation at other agencies, is HoD an overlooked gem? They may not have the best photography to lure punters in but some of the girls look really fit and the 150 an hour rate is a dream these days. What are the pros and cons of HoD vs other agencies (eg diva which I use the most) in terms of service or anything else? Also where are the various branches located? I know one of them is in Victoria, from reviews.

Short changing on time is my crux. Too many reviews have mentioned this and for £150 it is definetely not vfm imo.

Promo much?
This is a much discussed and polarising outfit so why do you think starting another discussion topic about it is anything other than mindshare gaming?

Dunno it came to mind and I posted about it. Never used them.

There is a good post a few years back that gave a balanced review of HoD which likened it to a sausage factory but with all the editing of the back catalogue I cannot find it now.  HoD is a bit like a fast food restaurant; the quality and value are OK without being spectacular, it is more reliable for making a booking in advance but you can find (much) better quality and value (and risk) if you shop around the independents.  The recent price rise from £130 to £150 gives an interesting perspective on the where the market is currently.

I've been visiting HOD for almost 3 years now and I would say that at the old prices they definitely were VFM but at the new prices, no.

The first thing I did was look at OP's review history to see if he was just another HOD marketing representative (which it doesn't look like he is).

To give a perspective on OP's question, I see HOD more as being at the upper end of brothels rather than at the bottom end of agencies. Before the price hike, I often had a look at who was working to check out my options, but I doubt I'm going to be tempted @ £150.

Note he contrasts vs Diva, his agency of preference.  He is a veteran who is supposedly one to do his research and perhaps read what's posted more broadly in his area(s) of activity.  Knowing what HoD is currently (as of days ago) doesn't need a new question.

sorry i didnt see the hod posts, and generally haven't read much about them here. thanks for the responses though. i am also somewhat perturbed to have earned 'veteran' status here...

To answer one of your questions, HoD is about a five minute walk from the side exit of Victoria station.  There's a basement flat and a first floor flat, and occasionally you can see hatchet-faced WGs stood outside it having a smoke.
