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

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!

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 !

I visited this salon for the first time recently for a full head of highlights, cut and blow dry with Janet. All the staff are really friendly, professional and made me feel super comfortable. I wasn’t very happy with my colour that was done at a previous salon but after explaining this to Janet and showing her a few photos of the sort of colour I liked, I could tell straight away that she was very experienced and knew what she was doing. I love my new colour and am so happy I have found a salon that I am happy to go back too! Would highly recommend :-)

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

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

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

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.

I had a fantastic Dermaplane by Lorraine who made me feel at ease with a very friendly approach

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

Absolutely fantastic xx

Have used Carol’s services for many years, primarily massage, and it’s worth every penny. Carol is professional, friendly, 100% reliable, and coordinates with any allergies and ethical product concerns. Carol’s treatments and techniques have been a huge health benefit in my life throughout the years. Highly recommended.

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

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

After being let down by my local hairdressers, I needed to find somewhere to get my hair cut. I found a last-minute appointment with Lois at Shaftesbury. All staff that I seamed friendly, Providing a lovely atmosphere. I gave Lois very little input as to what I wanted. The haircut is amazing; I will be booking again when I need my next haircut. Definitely recommended

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!

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!

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!!

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

A beautiful salon that is very welcoming, Bethany was wonderful and made my very fine hair look amazing.. Thankyou so much. 😊👍

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

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!

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♥️

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!

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!

Haircut for 2 wriggly little boys. Gemma did fantastic job, she was talking to the boys, they were sitting still while she worked. Whole process took 10 minutes per boy. I experienced that in every barber shop in Shaftesbury, the barbers were cutting at much slower pace, children were getting restless and barbers were impatient - didn't feel welcome in any of the barber shops. In Over the Top, we felt welcome and while one son was getting a haircut, the other son was playing with Arthur the dog ;) We will definitely return. Thank you

I love Heidi from Bee stylish, she always does my hair amazingly, I'm always well looked after, she is extremely polite, she did my wedding hair last year and it was lovely it lasted all day, considering we played rounders aswell as being on a bouncy castle

Tried various hairdressers after my great hairdresser up and left for new Zealand . But I go and have my hair styled by Joshua . He listen and styled it just how I had explained . So pleased with outcome made my day to have at last found a great stylist . Thank you so much . Anne

I have been a client at Over The Top for many years now. They are by far the best hair salon in the area. The team are warm, welcoming and incredible at what they do. The salon itself has a lovely atmosphere, I am always listened to and given great advise by my stylist.

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.

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

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