The Best Beauty Salons And Hairdressers in Dorset, United Kingdom (2025)

A visit to see Clare at The Salon in the Square is always enjoyable and my sister and I, who had a joint appointment, thoroughly enjoyed our time today and left entirely happy with our hair.

Janemarie and all the team have been and continue to be amazing, they have looked after me so well, having broken my shoulder it has been impossible to wash my hair and do my nails, so I have been a regular visitor the past 3 weeks, and they have been so generous and caring. What a wonderful place. Thank you, Nicky xx

I am new to Salon on the Square and Georgie cut my hair really well. I actually felt for the first time in ages the person cutting understood my hair (fine and a bit sparse!) and listened to what I wanted and what didn’t work. I will be booking another appointment. Thank you!

First time visiting today. Lesley came highly recommended, and as I found out, for good reason! Lesley treated me as an old friend, whilst remaining professional - which really put me at ease as I was very nervous coming to a new place. She did a super job on my hair, listening to what I wanted whilst giving her own opinion on what would look best. Thank you so much.

Excellent, felt very safe, I was the only customer at the time and we were well protected re covid.

My first time ever for an appointment with Bev. She's a lovely lady and did a fabulous job on my hair. I will definitely go back!

Lovely ladies, great atmosphere

Very good. No complaints. Ruth did a good job of cutting my hair as well. Will recommend.

I had my first visit to The Salon just before Christmas, following my hairdresser, Hollie in her new venture. On entering, I was immediately greeted by a friendly face and made to feel welcome by staff and clients alike. There was a lovely atmosphere and I felt very comfortable and valued.

Friendly and welcoming staff and great service. The lady that trimmed and styled my hair did a lovely job on my hair. Very accurate and precise with her work. Going back for color. Excellent customer service!

Lovely, friendly, highly professional staff and fantastic hair cuts in a welcoming environment. We had 3 wet cuts and we are all loving our new do's! Dogs allowed in to salon with owner too for those on holiday!

Wonderful hairdressers and so friendly

Thank you so so much to Amelia for turning my hair from dull to luxurious 😍 i am incredibly pleased to say I am finally happy with how my hair has turned out today. I will 1000% be going back to this salon, very clean and tidy with lovely staff. The salon is beautiful in its self and again thank you so much Amelia for everything today, you have made my week complete ☺️ I would also like to thank Freya for my lovely cut, blow dry and curls makes the look come together🥰 I am sure to be recommending you to anyone that asks for a great salon☺️ Thank you Beautifully Gorgeous♥️

Nadine was amazing, she did a great job with my hair. Thank you very much 😊 Nice atmosphere in the salon.I will happily go back 👍

Had a lovely hair cut today with Nadine. I didn't know what to do with my hair, but thanks to Nadine's knowledge I walked out with my hair looking much more healthy and with more volume! I also had a lovely head, neck and shoulder massage which was a really nice touch. Already booked back in for January! Thanks Nadine & the rest of the Beautifully Gorgeous team for being so warm and welcoming!

We recently had the pleasure of visiting the new salon, stylish and tranquil. A lovely atmosphere, chilled music, welcoming. Jerry is our favourite stylist in the area, he always listens to what we want and gives us tips and tricks to look after our hair when we leave. First class.

I recently had the pleasure of having Emily for a haircut, and I couldn't be more impressed! Relaxed atmosphere, chilled vibes, she made me feel completely at ease. Emily took the time to listen exactly what I wanted and asked thoughtful questions to ensure she understood my preferences. She really paid attention to the details and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process! Very happy and satisfied with the cut!

Thanks you Elona for the wonderful hair cut and blowdry! You always put me at easy and know exactly what to do to make my hair and make myself feel wonderful. Dana Quinlan salon remains one of the best in Dorset. Absolutely recommended. Ps: you guys have the most amazing herbal tea.

This is my 4th hair cut with Jason, he's such a likeable gentleman always happy and clearly enjoys his job. The only man I know that can make me go from looking like a 5 to a straight 10! I honestly can't recommend his services high enough, thank you Jason.

Amazing

Always lovely welcoming people. When Kirsty styles my hair she makes me feel great. Thank you, Kirsty.

Ian cut my hair exactly as I required.

Fantastic talented and creative hair dressers, Debbie gave me a brilliant cut & colour, would definitely recommend.

This is a lovely salon, all the staff are friendly and welcoming. Marissa always understands exactly what I want and gives great advice, too.

I've been going to Coleese for years and it is always a wonderful experience. Thank you Toni, Colin and Team for making me feel great today. See you next time!

I had a wonderful back, neck & shoulder massage with Marissa today!- absolutely super! I would highly recommend Marissa; she is absolutely delightful as well! A lovely environment also! Thank you Marissa! Maureen Hinton

Just fabulous customer service today .Colour by Maddie and wonderful cut and style by Paul 🥰. Such a lovely ambience at this salon which I have been going to for years. Superb customer experience x

I recently had my hair cut by Maddy. It's the first cut where I can wash and style my hair and make it (nearly) as good as when Maddy first did it. She was so lovely I booked my daughter in to have hers done as well. Both daughters treated to a hot chocolate and Maddy was so good at listening to my daughter and cutting her hair perfectly. Can't recommend highly enough.

Kayleigh is absolutely incredible at what she does! I love my hair every single time and would rather wait to see her than go anywhere else. Amazing service, amazing atmosphere and absolutely unreal hair ⭐️

Kayleigh is an amazing hair stylist. I love going to her and each time her work is absolutely amazing. Would definitely highly recommend

5 stars, 6 if I could! 😂 Second to none in Dorchester. Highly skilled and up to date knowledge as well as all the extras you want from the salon experience. You’ll feel renewed when you leave!

Kayleigh is an amazing hair stylist and professional. As a women with very curly hair I always struggled to trust anyone to cut it the correct way. Not only that she helped me when my hair was a horrid colour and took it back to the way it was before when other hairdressers would turn me down and say it wasn't yet possible. One hundred out of ten would recommend

First time customer for us today for my daughter's manicure. She was over the moon with the results and hasn't stopped smiling. Excellent range of colours to choose from, helpful and professional staff, was greeted very nicely and felt at ease. Perfect application for her nails and super advice on after care. Will definitely be back. Thank you!

Visited this Salon whilst on holiday visiting my friend who is a regular. She had booked me a massage, facial and shellac nails. I had no expectations of what I was getting. I had the most amazing experience with Molly 1 a lovely massage followed by the most amazing facial the best I have ever had. 1 hour long highly recommend the Ocean facial. Followed by a fantastic manicure and Shellac. What a fabulous afternoon my only complaint is I don’t live near enough to be able to make this my regular Salon. All the ladies were friendly and welcoming highly recommend this salon if you are local or visiting thank you ladies x

My first time here and really lovely salon, and friendly therapists. My treatments were perfect, and for the first time I can remember visiting a salon and describing how I like pressure in a massage, it was actually perfect! I will definitely return and highly recommend!

Fantastic Christmas nails, finished today by the lovely Bronwyn after being mostly done by the beautiful Molly 1. Amazing job as ever ladies, customer service is always fabulous and caring. Especially when you can’t complete your treatment because you have a slight problem! Thank you for always making me feel special xx
