Depends on the particular hebe - you wouldn't want to cut back something like H. 'youngii' right now because it'll flower in the next 4 weeks, but hebe does have an annoying habit of producing brown areas. If yours either doesn't flower, or you don't mind losing flowers, prune it back all over now to a better shape, removing the brown at the same time.
