The Best Beauty Salons And Hairdressers in Ashford In The Water, Derbyshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Today I went to Terri Gilham for the first time as I was recommended by my mum and what a great experience it was! My stylist Maria was so friendly and attentive, always making sure that I was comfortable and happy- as were the other staff too! I’m in love with my hair and can’t wait to go back!

Great experience at Teri Gilham from the moment you enter. A range of complementary beverages to choose from and a relaxing massage chair whilst having your hair washed .My stylist Maria is very personable and always delivers a great cut and blowdry. Occasionally she’ll curl it too if I ask which is amazing. Looking forward to having hair colour done next month 🤩

The salon is a lovely boutique style salon in Kent. On arrival, you are welcomed by the lovely staff. Very attentive and can’t do enough for you. They are all very knowledgeable and very good at what they do. I had a delicious latte along with a lovely chocolate cake. Maria was amazing, so friendly and I absolutely loved my scalp treatment and my waves - just what I wanted. I’ve booked again and decided to upgrade my blow dry to a Keratin straight blow dry to reduce the frizz before my holiday. Recommended by Maria. Thank you so much, a real treat and can’t wait to go back next week 😀

Always a 10/10 experience at Terri Gilham Hair Spa! All the girls are so lovely and welcoming and very knowledgeable. The salon has a calm and relaxing atmosphere and I can never wait to return, it’s truly the best salon!

I’ve been going to Dontev for a couple years now and every time April does my hair and it comes out lovely. I get my hair coloured blonde it is always just what I asked for. All the staff are amazing and create such a lovely atmosphere for the salon. Couldn’t recommend enough!

I visit Chelsea at Dontev every 4 weeks and wouldn't hesitate in recommending her. I'm always really pleased with my cut and colour. Chelsea is fab, the salon is really welcoming, and they do great treatments too. 😊

First visit to Dontev and extremely happy, I had a consultation with April, and appointment with Chelsea. They sat and actually listened, discussed and looked at pictures of what I want to achieve. The girls are so lovely, made me feel very comfortable and as for the conditioning head massage... WOW. I walked out of the salon feeling great and looking great... already made my next appointment for 6 weeks. Thankyou girls

I have been going to Dontev hairdressers ever since it opened over twenty years ago. Staff are unfailingly polite and friendly which makes such a difference. I would like to give particular praise to Lyn who has cut and coloured my hair for many years now. Lyn goes out of her way to accommodate suitable appointment times and is always upbeat and cheerful regardless of how busy she might be when I go in. Lyn styles and colours my hair to my liking and I have complete confidence in her professional skills. She’s definitely “a cut above” for me!

I love going to Hewetsons. Louise offers a personal bespoke service and delivers this in the most professional and sincere manner. Louise has wonderful facilities and provides lovely refreshments. I am always delighted with my hair.

This is my time out for me & yes it’s just a trip to the hairdressers buts it’s for me . Louise is there for you and as it’s personal it’s a special relationship to both of us . I get an honest answer and come out feeling great . A bonus is a drink and head massage , what’s not to like . Wholeheartedly recommend this lady and came across this lady just after her opening more than a few years about . 🥰🥰🥰

Before coming to Louise I had damaged my hair with years of colour and heat and now I have my natural healthy curls back! I feel so at ease and relaxed every time and Louise creates a relaxing and safe space to have some you time. Would totally recommend Hewetsons Hair Salon ❤️

Best hairdresser ever! Talk as much or as little as you want. Very relaxing, lovely massage and great results.

The BEST Hair Salon in Ashford and I have been to lots of salons, I have had all of the girls here do my hair and I trust them all! Very welcoming, my colour and cut is beautiful everytime. I always leave here happy and content with my hair, I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Thank you Girls! x

Lovely experience at DHD as always. Elise did a fantastic job and ensured my experience was as comfortable as possible, and left with my hair feeling amazingly healthier and lighter. Definitely recommend!! Can’t fault these ladies and their friendliness - cannot see myself going elsewhere x

Fantastic haircut and styling. Also had foils which added copper highlights. Extremely pleased with the end result. I've been visiting Jemma at DHD for a few years and am always happy with her work. Would definitely recommend. Before and after photos shown.

If you’re thinking of having your hair coloured, you definitely need to go here!!! They are the experts you need! The advice and service is very professional, Circe really knows her stuff. I am so pleased with my new look, love it! 💖 Recommending to everyone 🥰

Thus is the second time I have visited Tip Top Hair Design and Iain had been brave enough to tackle my hair, both times he has done a wonderful job, thanks Iain look forward to seeing you next time

Very pleased with my first visit. Iain took the time to discuss what I wanted, good conversation throughout, amazing cut and explained how to style at home. Couldn't praise enough, I will definately be back. Thank you 😊

I had my hair cut done for the first time at Tip Top everyone was so friendly and chatty conversation definitely flowed throughout while having my hair done. My hair feels amazing and lighter. I will be 100% be coming back 🙂

Tiptop is a very friendly salon. I have been going their for a few years now Helen who does my hair she is very and enjoys a chat .all that work are very friendly.

Superb team of hair stylists. Claire is exceptional. Great advice about options and a brilliant cut, style and finish. I would not go anywhere else.

Love Claire! The best hairdresser and always so professional. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Amazing service as always at Hair No.9 Girls are lovely and attentive always leave feeling really happy, Courtney does a fab job on my hair!

Excellent experience from start to finish! Claire was friendly and made me feel comfortable and knew exactly how I wanted my hair. She also spoke through each step which I really appreciated! 10/10

Brilliant! I highly recommend this salon. Karine restyled my hair for me yesterday, and I could not be happier. I do not usually go to the hairdresser's; I dislike it. However, Karine was so friendly and knowledgeable that I immediately felt at easy. She took the time to talk to me about what I wanted, she explained all the possible options for my hair type, and she walked me though everything that she was doing. It is without doubt the best salon experience I have had. I could not recommend it more. Thank you.

Such a welcoming friendly place. I am a man who has very curly hair and came for chemical hair straightening. Left with long, sleek straight hair and couldn't be happier. The girls are so helpful when giving advice for someone like me who didn't have a clue how to look after long hair properly. Very satisfied with the service and results. I highly recommend it and I will be returning!

Had the best experience! Was a little nervous going into it but she made me feel very comfortable and I’m so happy with the results! I could not recommend them enough. Thank you ❤️

Just got my haircut at christophes. Love the fresh look! The stylist was great and really listened to what I wanted. The atmosphere was nice and i felt well taken care of. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a fresh cut.

I love going to Aurora Beauty studio, all the girls are friendly and excellent at what they do. I’ve had lashes, nails, microblading and waxing and never had a bad experience. The studio is gorgeous and has a very calm and relaxing atmosphere. Gemma and Becka are the loveliest people and will make you feel at ease with whatever treatment you choose, and I’ve got to mention Stanley, the resident Dachshund, take a treat and he’ll reward you with cuddles. I would totally recommend Aurora Beauty Studio.

I have been coming to Gemma and the team since the salon opened over a year ago. All the girls are so lovely, friendly and professional. There is just a beautiful vibe in there and you feel so welcome. They've became more than just somewhere I get my nails done, they've become so much more and I wish nothing but success for Gemma and all the team. Beka is my usual gal for treatment and she is an absolute joy and cares so much about getting everything perfect for you. Could not recommend anymore ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gem is just the best. I have just had had luxury derma-planing followed by a back neck and shoulder massage. She is just so professional, makes you feel so relaxed and is just so good at all her treatments. I Would definitely recommend her, came out feeling really pampered and relaxed. Such a beautiful salon with such a lovely atmosphere. All the girls are fabulous.

Such a lovely welcome salon, all the staff are so welcoming and professional. Had versions of treatments I’ve the years and Gemma has always been amazing! Wouldn’t go anywhere else for anything beauty related!

Had my hair done today by Naomi. She’s really good and talented with hair. Highly recommend

I made an appointment to use them as I couldn’t go to my usual hairdresser Tia was brilliant put me at ease straight away very professional. We discussed how I wanted my hair and gave me advice on how she would do it always asking if my hair was ok. Absolutely love my hair Tia thank you so much. Would highly recommend this hairdressers

Lovely hairdressers! Friendly staff and lovely ambiance! Cant fault...miss my lovely lattes though! Wud recommend highly and Louise, the owner is brilliant at feminine yet short hairstyles !

Went in today for a cut and blow dry. I’m so pleased with the way it turned out my hair feels and looks amazing. Great prices, Friendly staff and very chatty. Will definitely be coming here again :) xx

Absolutely in love my lip blush! I always go to Havva yearly for my eyebrows and her work is just perfect and she makes me feel beautiful! After seeing her lip blush work I just had to have it done and my goodness am I glad I did! Wow wow wow they are stunning thank you so much for everything Havva you are incredible at what you do!

Havva is an absolute artist. She’s cool, calm, confident and incredibly talented at what she does. Her studio is really inclusive and welcoming, I felt super comfortable as a man going into the space. Absolutely LOVE my brows, thank you Havva!

OBSESSED!! I came across Havva on Instagram a little while ago and instantly became obsessed with her page, her work, and her whole vibe! I’ve been wanting to have semi permanent eyebrows for years now but not been brave enough to take the plunge, until I found Havva. After some initial contact I set out to have my brows done in June giving me time to save up, and then happened across a story on her Instagram page looking for a model for one of her masterclasses, for a combination brow treatment. At a fraction of the price!! I never get to stuff like this in time so I wasn’t hopeful but tried anyway and I was so thrilled to hear back from Havva to say the appointment was mine! Fast forward to this afternoon, I approached the Boujee setting, (definitely felt like I was in London) and was instantly greeted by the beautiful Havva, so sweet and friendly and welcoming! I was quite nervous so that was such a nice start. I then was taken up to the gorgeous treatment room, spotless, classy, calm, great music, and I met Jordan, who was doing a two day Masterclass with Havva to train from Microblading to machine! Jordan and Havva talked me through the whole process and really listened to my needs and expectations before they got started and I completely relaxed! I felt so confident in them that I fully trusted them to do what they thought best and all my worries went away! Havva overlooked the whole thing and Jordan seemed so comfortable it was as if she’d been doing machine brows for way longer than 2 days! I found the whole process so fascinating, so inspiring and I suddenly want to even train with Havva myself!! Once they were finished I was so nervous to see my brows but I am IN LOVE!!! They look SO good and I have a new found confidence ALREADY! So many aspects of this experience made it what it was for me. The place, the vibes, the welcome from Havva, the other girls (even Ellie who does Facials in another treatment room, who came in and chatted, helped put me at ease) being Jordan’s model meant it was more affordable for me, they answered every single question I asked, the after-care package with a cheeky chocolate bar in, and even the hug at the end, it was a very special experience for me and I’m already looking forward to going back for my top up in 7 weeks time! There’s something special about this place… If you’re contemplating Luxe Studio Cosmetics for your brows, LOOK! NO! FURTHER! There’s No stuffiness, no pretentiousness, no awkwardness or uncomfortableness! Just very sweet, very kind, very real people who are bloody good at what they do! And what they love to do at that! Thank you ladies ♥️

Havva is absolutely incredible at what she does! Her studio is so beautiful and calming, the whole experience there is wonderful and I felt so at ease with her. My lip blush is absolutely stunning and I couldn’t be happier with it, she explained everything so well to me and helped me pick the perfect colours. I’ve just had my top up and love it so much, thank you so much!
