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

5 star experience, I was looked after so well, such lovely friendly staff. My colour looked amazing! My colourist was so talented and delivered perfection. I left feeling very happy. Excited to have found a colourist I want to go back to!!

A lovely welcome every time. The staff are friendly and make you feel comfortable. Matt is an excellent stylist and I love watching him work. He knows me well enough now to do just what I want - but he always checks in case I want something different! It’s very therapeutic to have my hair done in the salon, a real treat. Thank you everyone x

Wonderful service and attention to detail by Matt. His warm and calm approach to talking with people is the perfect compliment to this salon. Could not recommend him more highly.

Excellent service, I am very happy with my 1st visit. Lovely colour, professional advise and a nice coffee too😊already booked the 2nd appointment.

I couldn't recommend Bex enough! We booked Bex in August for myself (bride) and bridesmaid, mother, and mother-in-law. We all loved our hair and make-up on the day, she is truly talented at what she does and made us all feel so beautiful! My bridal party looked stunning! Bex fit in so effortlessly the morning of our wedding and made us feel so excited, she has been so friendly and professional from start to finish. From the trial, Bex instantly brought my vision of my bridal style to life and was everything I expected, I would recommend to anyone. Thank you Bex!

It was an absolute pleasure having Bex do mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup for my wedding. She is a true professional! so friendly and efficient but also incredibly talented. She easily adapted to each of our chosen hairstyles and makeup looks and executed them all beautifully. We were all delighted with the end results and better yet!... they lasted all day/night. The makeup was so tasteful and classic and it stayed in place all day and didn't crack or crease. I opted for a half up, half down hairstyle with a Hollywood wave, which for someone with very heavy and thick hair, I was nervous about but it honestly was perfect and stayed in place so well all day. I couldn't recommend Bex enough! she's just FAB!!! xoxox

Everything happens for a reason and in my case this couldn’t be more true. After a previous booking with another hair and makeup artist got cancelled, I contacted Bex in a panic to see if she had any availability for me. Bex was so helpful and accommodating and when I went for my hair and makeup trial, I couldn’t have wished for anything better. Bex has such a calming presence about her and this was definitely something I needed on the morning of my wedding day. How my hair and makeup looked was so much more than I could have dreamed off and she made me and my bridal party feel so beautiful. Shout out to any future brides, book Bex, you won’t be disappointed.

Bex is amazing at what she does! Hair, make up and even helping out with other little details. I loved my hair and make up in my trial but loved it even more on the day. I cried when she showed me my hair because it was just so beautiful! Bex helped the morning run smoothly and stayed right to the very end to do finishing touches. I cannot thank her enough for getting myself and my bridal party ready x

I had the most amazing experience at my hair appointment today! I went in for the Fusio Dose Kerastase Treatment followed by a haircut, and it was exactly what my damaged hair needed. The appointment started with a heavenly head and neck massage that instantly helped me relax—it was such a wonderful touch. The treatment itself was phenomenal; my hair already feels so much healthier and nourished. And then came the haircut—Amelia, she did an incredible job! She truly understood what I wanted and worked her magic to bring my vision to life. I can’t thank her enough for her attention to detail and care. I was so impressed with the results that I booked another treatment with Amelia before leaving the salon. I’m already looking forward to it because this was by far the best treatment I’ve had. Thank you, Amelia, for your amazing work—I’m so grateful! Highly recommend this salon and Amelia’s expertise!

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.

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 here for 5ish months and I love it here! I get BIAB nails and have appointments every 4 weeks. The 3rd pic shows how well my nails lasted after 4 weeks before getting them redone. So easy to talk to and every appointment is enjoyable 😊

Absolutely love having my nails done at Panemorfii nail boutique. The salon is pretty, with tasteful décor & healthy beautiful house plants that add to the lovely ambiance. Debbie is always welcoming and friendly… and I enjoy a good chat with her. And of course my nails always look fabulous.

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

Love the new location and salon! Always professional, informative and friendly with so many services offered. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending to friends and family. With so many other places offering beauty and aesthetic treatments in Dorchester, it's good to know Emma is experienced and great at what she does!

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

Emily cut my hair and I felt relaxed and comfortable the moment I stepped in. She listened to what I wanted and cut my hair the way I wanted. It’s a cosy and tranquil space. I’ve booked in for another appointment and look forward to using the beauty treatments one day. I recommend checking how to get to the parking area before arriving as this was a bit tricky.

I've just enjoyed my first visit to the Shed... Such a friendly greeting on arrival. Followed by a superb deep tissue back shoulder and neck massage from Faye. Thank you!

I am just back from my 2nd visit for a wax, toes and massage. The first wonderful experience was not a fluke. Beautiful location, nice relaxed vibe and SUPERB massage from Millie. I've been for many massages in many countries, and Millie is up there with the best of them. Treat yourself...

Just love the shed to bits!!! Went there to see Paula about my colour and cut, she was the best so knowledgeable I came out of there so happy the overall vibe of the place is enough to keep you going but with the girls on top the experience is amazing. On Saturday I went back with family members for an all day pampering session and I must say it was the most relaxing time I had ever had. The girls were brilliant so professional but down to earth also. We also had a lovely bubbly lunch laid on for us which was also lovely. Would recommend this hair and beauty salon every time it's the best and now having been for my hair is would never go anywhere else.

I booked The little Sanctuary for my bridal hair and make up and I’m so glad I did! The whole experience from the trial to the wedding morning was so lovely! Through all the chaos of flower kids, bridesmaids and parents running around Gill and her team gave us stunning hairstyles and make up. We were all so happy with how our looks turned out. Even after a night of dancing our hair was on point and our make up looked great! Thank you to Gill, Kitty and the rest of the team!

My sister hired Gill and her team for hair and make-up for her bridal party. It was a wonderful experience. Gill knew exactly what I wanted, was so lovely to chat with during the styling and my updo lasted all night. Thank you for making me look my absolute best!

Not being from the area, I googled to find a good hairdresser and beautician and I was so lucky to have come upon The Little Sanctuary in Gillingham. Lee cut and colured my blonde hair to perfection, natural looking and perfectly blended with existing colour. The manicure and pedicure were top class, hygenic, very professional and my nails look wonderful. Almost makes me wish I lived here! Thank you.....if I am ever in the area again I will definitely be rebooking

Gorgeous Shaftesbury salon! All christmassy and cosy, it’s so warm and welcoming ⭐️ Liv has always listened and understood the look I was after, advised me of options and has bought my curly hair to life!! I love it ⭐️

I had another lovely visit to The Highbrow Clinic, always greeted with a lovely warm welcome and whenever I visit it always feels like a treat. I had my nails done with Caitlin and she was fantastic, such an amazing eye for detail, thorough and I walked away with the most perfect nails. She was engaging and chatty and it was such a treat. I've been going to nail bars for a while, but today having had BAIB nails at The Highbrow, I won't be going back to nail bars. The whole experience was just a treat, start to finish and with a great end result. Thanks Highbrow x

I had my first laser treatment with Caitlin today, and it was an incredible experience! She made me feel completely at ease, thoroughly explaining how the treatment works and what to expect. I felt confident moving forward with her, and I would highly recommend both the clinic and Caitlin!

I have just had my shaded eyeliner topped up by the lovely Natasha and I love how beautiful the results are. She is so passionate about her work and ensures the entire process is smooth and comfy throughout. Always an absolute pleasure coming into the clinic as the whole team are so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend and a very well deserved 5* ❤️

I had a scar on my eyebrow from cancer removal. I can honestly say you can barely tell now. So pleased with what has been done. Louisa is very warm and friendly and put me completely at ease. I would highly recommend!

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!

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.

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.

Wow! What a wonderful experience today! Complimentary massage, gorgeous products and exceptional service from Maddi. Will definitely be returning to Salon on The Square!

Ian cut my hair exactly as I required.

Beautiful hair & charming company

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

Amazing
