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

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!

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!

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

Great salon. I had my very long hair washed, cut and blow dried. Really pleased with the results. Then full gel manicure with Sophie-gold for Christmas!!! Amazing

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

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!

Wonderful experience, lovely team, gorgeous interiors, and super relaxing.

So pleased with my hair after seeing Jemma! My cut is perfect every time. A very relaxing & beautiful salon, always served a delicious coffee too!!

Beautiful atmosphere, amazing service! Jem always makes me feel so comfortable. Will never go anywhere else for my hair! X

Simply the best✨ Jem is absolutely amazing & the best around. Beautiful salon - an appointment at Studio Six is a real treat!🤍

I have been going to Lorraine for over 2 years now, and I absolutely wouldn’t go anywhere else. She is extremely professional and always strives to improve her services by keeping up to date with everything and also venturing into new things. She is very friendly and courteous and puts you at ease. She has tremendous skills with nail art and can pretty much do whatever you want. I have no problem recommending Lorraine, you will not be disappointed. Whatever you need she can do

Ok

Lorraine is an amazingly talented nail technician, her designs are bespoke to each client and she is always learning and developing new styles, nothing is too much trouble. Her treatment room is always welcoming and each visit leaves you feeling pampered and special. Her attention to detail and her insistence on using only safe products on nails, lashes and skin leaves you totally confident in her and her treatments.

Absolutely fantastic xx

Janet worked her magic again and completely sorted my hair out with a fresh cut and highlights! Couldn’t be happier with the result 🥰

Janet was lovely to speak with, and made me feel very comfortable after not having had my hair cut in a long time. She saw the vision I had for my hair, and cut it the exact way I wanted. It ended up way better than expected and I am very happy, thank you Janet 😊

Absolutely exceptional hairdressers! My hair was in a bad way and both Sally and Holly were able To literally make me feel like a new person with the most incredible haircut! So much patience. I cannot thank them enough. You are made to feel so welcome and so pampered! Highly recommend !

The BEST curly cut I have ever had. I have travelled to several different curly cut specialist. Sean at Kalypsos was absolutely amazing. My hair has been so much more manageable since my cut. 100% recommend. Thank you so much!

Always loved going here, saw the new stylist Lois today and she was fantastic! Friendly, professional and very talented, 100% would recommend the salon, and her in particular.

Started going to Aveda in the Autumn. Nice environment, good stylist and I can drink tea whilst having my hair done! Avril 🦆

Lovely staff and great hair experience at Aveda The Sanctuary in Shaftesbury

Got my hair cut here by Abi yesterday and all I can say is wow. The salon is such a nice welcoming space, very clean with lovely details and lots of natural light. Abi spent the most time on a consultation of any hair professional I've ever met and as a result my hair is EXACTLY how I wanted it to look. I've left salons before feeling like the stylist just did what they wanted - this was the opposite. Abi checked in with me throughout and explained what steps she was taking and why. It felt like a process I was a part of and I left the salon feeling confident - and got compliments on my hair when I went out last night! Will definitely be getting my hair cut here in future. Thank you xx

Stepping into this salon felt like entering a peaceful retreat—it's easily the most stunning salon I've ever visited, and I’ve worked in & visited a fair few! The huge glass windows offer picturesque views which immediately set a serene tone, complemented by the relaxing head, neck, and shoulder massage after being seated. Every aspect of the experience is thoughtfully curated, from the calming scent of essential oils that greets you at the door to the beautiful décor and earth-conscious hair products. Abi provided the most detailed consultation I’ve ever experienced! It’s rare to find a stylist who truly listens and offers thoughtful suggestions. She completely understood what I wanted and did an exceptional job cutting and styling my hair. It's such a relief to find someone to work with my hair texture, rather than against it! This place is truly a gem. I can't wait to return for another luxurious experience!

I book in to have my hair done with jade as she does amazing things when colouring my hair to blonde. The staff here are always lovely and welcoming. Offer a drink and biscuits which is lovely. Always smells great in here and has a lovely atmosphere. Really enjoy driving out this way from Blandford to have my hair done.

Lisa, I just wanted to say how wonderful it was to have you and your team as such a big part of our wedding day. You, Jade and Lottie did such an amazing job making all of the women of the wedding look just fab! I LOVED my bridal hair, and every single one of my bridesmaids and family members loved their hair (and hand massages as well!) had such a wonderful experience on the day with you and Jade. I also can't say enough about how much I loved coming to your studio the day before the wedding for my trial. It was a wonderful space and I felt like I was at my own spa day with the delicious coffee and biscuit and luxuriousness of the space. I truly wish I could get married again just to work with you all again! Wishing you all the success you deserve in 2023 and beyond!

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!

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♥️

Today was my first visit to Beautifully Gorgeous and it certainly won’t be my last. Claire was so lovely and welcoming and did an absolutely cracking job on my nails. Since my usual salon closed down I’ve had a couple of poor experiences and feel so happy to have found this salon and such a lovely beauty therapist in Claire. Can’t wait to go back!

I visited for the first time after months of needing a cut. The staff were warm and welcoming , which was a fabulous first impression. My assigned styling was very honest, letting me know that she would prefer to pass me to a more senior stylist, due to my hairstyle. I appreciated this honesty. My cut wasn't cheap but it was really well done and I like the finished style. The head massage was wonderful and so relaxing ! I think I probably overshared my life (! Lol)but my stylist, who I believe is the proprietor, was very lovely and didn't once show any kind of impatience with me..she was great!

Been coming here over a year now for hair & nails and it is always a beautiful successful experience by the two girls Emily and Sophie! 😍 1000% recommend coming here to get your beauty on!!💆🏻‍♀️💅

Sophie always does a great job of my nails, it’s such a lovely little space. Book ahead, these are two very popular ladies!

Gentle and happy place
