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

Love the pampers, I go monthly and have the best back neck and shoulder massage with Debbie and a luxurious facial, best place to go to unwind

I had my 2nd Pedicure with Caitlin so pleased with it she remove my last Shellac varnish then cut and filed my nails before applying a new varnish. Caitlin is lovely friendly and professional highly recommended.

Just wanted to say thank you very much to Gemma, who was absolutely lovely. I would definitely recommend Classic Beauty.

Absolutely love the monthly pampers on offer. Lovely welcome & great service everytime. I can highly recommend the back shoulder & neck massage. Bliss. Thank you.

Beautiful salon- Emma does the best lash lifts and is always so kind and professional. Would definitely recommend :)

I absolutely love how emma does my nails and hair! Started off as a one off treat for gelish nails... then a few yeas later emma is the only person I go to for nails & hair! Great service and very reasonable price. Definitely recommend!

Excellent service I have all my treatment with emma and she is brilliant I would definitely recommend her . Also my daughter has her treatments done here . Great salon Can't wait to be trying new things that become available

I cannot recommend the amazing staff at Mane Road enough. I have been coming here for all of my hair and beauty needs for over 10 years and look forward to returning everytime. Nothing is too much trouble and everyone goes over and above to make sure you have a great experience. The quality products and services are reasonably priced and regardless of the pandemic, hygiene has always been a priority. The salon is immaculately clean and the professionalism within is second to none. Thank you ladies you are simply the best xx

Jess did such a lovely job in my colour. I have long hair and don't ever let someone I don't know colour my hair. I was a bit apprehensive but Jess really knew what she was doing and Kate the owner gave really great advice at point of making a decision around colour. The hair treatment is awesome! Thanks so much. Will definately be back.

I can’t compliment this salon enough. From the moment thou walk it, the whole team make you feel warm and welcome. Jordan is fantastic, an expert in her field. Everyone always compliments on how fantastic and natural my extensions look. Morgan is brilliant, here facials are so relaxing and make my skin feel incredible. So good I travel an hour to just come to this salon.

I had a manicure and pedicure with Morgan & Gelish polish. The salon is very friendly with a lovely atmosphere. It lasted all of my two weeks holiday with no lifting or chipping. Very very pleased with the results and i will be back! Thank you Morgan.

Friendly staff, always a nice welcome. Highly recommend

Really good salon. Have been going there for years. The staff, who are lovely, do their best to fit you in.

Great hairdressers, always listen to what I want and very good with my hair highly recommend.

I maybe classed as being biased as my wife owns the business but please make a booking visit yourself and make up your own minds on how good of an experience you will have. Covid compliant saloon.

I had the lovely hairdresser Mea do a full head of highlights on my hair. Such a comfortable environment and all the stuff made sure that you got something to drink and was looked after. The hair turned out beautifully. Would highly recommend.

I just had the BEST haircut I have had in years ! I asked Joanne for a certain style and she just got it straight away ! The result was better than I explained …Love it thank-you, highly recommend her work.

I have been going to Robin James for 12 years because of its quality and consistency. Aveda colours are also very kind to the hair. Joanne has been my hair stylist since she qualified. She really cares about her work and takes pride in doing a really good job. She is talented and thoughtful and fun to spend an hour or two with! I totally recommend her services without reservation.

Jodie was amazing great haircut so happy, really took the time to listen to what I wanted & executed it perfectly, lots of professional hair advice, great chat & lovely friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend & will definitely be booking again.

Had my hair done on Saturday by the lovely Jodie, as always they were so friendly. Felt fabulous as I left following my much needed cut and colour. So glad to see the team back again

Popped in for the first time last week. I don’t live in the area but Stevie did a fab job of a restyle cut on my rather difficult curly hair. I will definitely go in again I love my hair now!

Great stylists, all very welcoming & attentive! The management & staff really go that extra mile to keep their clients & themselves safe in these trying times, which is very comforting. Would happily recommend!

I have been using Heather's for twenty years and found them to be welcoming, efficient, skilled stylists who transform my modest locks into wonderful shape and cheer me up. When my stylist of 5 years left, she ensured I was looked after by another equally skilled stylist. Full marks for Heather's!

Lovely salon, super friendly staff and the best haircut ever. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Without a doubt the best salon in Dorchester.

I've been going to Heather's for over 40 years and I can't praise her enough. With difficult hair her advice and knowledge has always left me looking and feeling great.

The pride of Dorchester, Akemi Spa is a treat for the mind, body, and soul. Upon entering the spa I was immediately engulfed but the warm vibe. The owner Kelly has an infectious smile that says, “you’re in good hands.” The massages are more than enjoyable, they are a health necessity if rejuvenation, balance, and relaxation are your goals. I highly recommend a day of pampering and self care. Get a mani and pedi! Slump in and prance out, you won’t regret it! Prices are reasonable, service top notch, staff professional, and welcoming. Don’t go to Dorchester without visiting Akemi Spa.

Had my lashes done today from the lovely Loren. 10/10 experience. The salon is a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Absolutely love my lashes so thank you Loren & the team🤍

Absolutely Amazing! I had Sammie and she was so lovely and chatty! She really knew what she was doing and I came out feeling so much better! Lovely place, super relaxing and can’t wait to go back again! Thank you x

I support a resident to have her nails done here. All the staff are so lovely and treat her very well. She always feels good when she leaves there and shows everyone her nail. Would recommend these lovely people to anyone.

Best hair salon I’ve ever been to !!! 5* service , very friendly, experts in their field. I’ve been seeing Katie for over 20 years and I cannot recommend enough xxx

Can't recommend this place enough. I recently got married and was lucky enough to have Jana do my hair on the morning of the wedding. Her skill is incredible and she created exactly what i'd pictured in my head. She's so friendly and did an incredible job on my maid of honours hair as well! 100% would recommend!!

I've been going to Katie Burrows-Kerr for years now and she always does an amazing job. I love the way I feel when I leave the salon, even if it's just from a simple trim. I had my first salon colour last time (previously always home dyed) and I was so happy with the end result, my hair was so vibrant and shiny as well as being super soft! The atmosphere in the salon is always really friendly. I find going into some salons quite intimidating but everyone at MeraKi is so welcoming.

I’ve been going to Meraki for the past couple of years and have always left with dream hair, confidence and a spring in my step. I’ve had styles by Lily, Daisy and Emma and have always been super happy with my hair. I work away but drove 5 hours because I rate this salon this much. Everyone works so hard, even the apprentices and I cannot recommend Meraki enough. Super knowledgeable, full of useful advice on hair care and expert stylists. Thank you for making me feel like a princess with great hair!

honestly the best place i’ve ever been to for a lash treatment. ladies are so lovely and chatty and the actual treatment process was so gentle. my lashes never looked so good and lasted ages! 100% recommend

The most wonderful experience as always! I have been to Beau’s Beauty & Aesthetics four times and will continue to return especially for my Manicures and Pedicures. Lena is so lovely and my most recent autumn nails are stunning! Every treatment Lena provides is exceptional and to the highest standards. I also enjoy our conversations; with Lena and Helen (her Mum) such a welcoming, friendly and homely-feeling salon! Absolutely recommend!

I highly recommend Beau’s Beauty as I have been twice to have my nails done and a pedicure. Lena and her mum are lovely and make you feel so welcome. Ive never had a pedicure before and it was amazing so relaxing and will definitely have more done there. It’s a warm welcoming and relaxing place to get all your beauty treatments done.

Booked in a nail appointment, prior to my holiday, two weeks on going strong! I also booked in very last minute for eyelash curl and tint. Wow!! Stayed late to fit me in (as I’d been let down and had limited availability. The care, kindness and attention to detail is outstanding. Kind, thoughtful and genuinely a wonderful human. 110% recommend. (Picture attached is nails after two weeks of application)
