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

I had a haircut with Lydia. It honestly is the best cut I've ever had. I have naturally curly hair and normally I have my curls left flat and dead after haircuts. Not this time! Thank you Lydia I don't even have to use any product and my hair came back to life. Highly recommend!

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 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.

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 just wanted to thank Daisy for the fabulous hair cut. As a curly haired woman, it’s been a constant struggle to find someone who understands curly hair. Daisy was very engaging and knowledgable, and passed on lots of tips and suggestions. I’m delighted with the results, which is a pretty unique experience for me! Thank you!

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!

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.

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!!

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.

I had such a fun experience, getting my hair cut by Matt I've never really bothered with the cut the hair thing till now and Monday morning it still looks amazing thank you, 5 stars 🌟

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!

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 think Lucy is actually an angel. I had booked into have a massage on Thursday 31st October at 3:45. I’d had a really bad day with work and had messed up with childcare for my son. I tried to call to reschedule which she was accommodating but I was so looking forward to my massage. She calmed me down and I arrived for my appointment. A friend was picking up my son and whilst he waited Lucy made him a hot chocolate. She looked after me from the moment I arrived and her massage was out of this world. I’ve never experienced such an amazing massage therapist and I’d highly recommend you book in with Lucy. Thank you Lucy, your kindness today means the world to me 😍

I recently took my 3 year old daughter here for her first trim of her slow growing curly locks. I also had my 6 year son in tow. It was just before Christmas so the salon was very busy. We arrived just in the nick of time and were made very welcome. Although it was crowded, space was quickly made for us to get seated and Kate was attended to with professionalism and care. My son can be a little energetic at times and did wander down the salon a couple of times to be rapidly called back by me. At no time did I feel that there was any negative feedback from that by the staff. In fact the children were offered a sweet as a treat and the staff enaged with them when they could particularly Natalie the owner. Kate left feeling very happy. While I was sat there, I was able to observe the quality of the work that the team were creating for the clients of all ages. I would highly recommend and look forward to taking Kate along in future.

Absolutely superb! From start to finish, welcoming, friendly, took time to explain options, gave advice, the skin fade cut was spot on and the perm looks incredible! Nicki and both staff took time to talk to us help out and make us feel so welcome (Team work) Lauren thank you what a happy client! My son is a fussy lad when it comes to his hair and he’s blown away! We are booked in to come back. Thank you for the added laughter too 🫶🏼

Excellent salon, welcoming friendly atmosphere with lovely girls who know what they are doing to make you feel relaxed and comfortable whilst being pampered which is what we all need. I would recommend that you give them I try and I know you will be more than happy with with the results. Well done to nicky and the girls, keep doing what you are doing.

Nikki (excuse possible spelling error) is the ONLY hairdressers that has given me what I have asked for since I was 20 (I'm 35 now!). She is a master of hair in all ways. Full of knowledge, which she is able to transfer to explain her thoughts, and it helps guide you in a direction - especially when you have no clue about hair like myself. Niķki was left in a bit of a situation before Christmas and she was juggling so much, but she managed to still fit me in for a 9am - 2pm appointment to completey transform my hair from a mirage of box dye to a gorgeous lighter balayage to look more natural. Also, for my thick hair sisters and brothers: Nikki curled my hair and made them stay!!!! That has NEVER happened before!!! Thank you Nikki, you're a star 🌟

I have been going to changing grooms for some years now. My hairdresser had changed 3 times and they have all been extremely professional and attentive. I have very fine, straight hair and I always leave happy. Thank you Nikki and Hannah

I'm new to the area & was recommended this salon; Amber did a fabulous job, I had a very good consultation to discuss colour options, I am so pleased with the outcome, thanks Amber, see you again soon!

Just had my hair cut here for the first time today. Beccy was amazing and talked me through step by step of what I wanted my hair to look like - I didn’t even have to show her a picture! Lovely atmosphere and great service. Will be back again. ❤️

Amber has literally transformed my hair into something amazing. Amber is friendly and made me feel comfortable straight away. I wasn’t sure how short I wanted my hair at first but I am so happy with my cut. Definitely would recommend this hair salon to anyone! :)

Having talked with Adam and given him some idea of what I wanted style-wise, I left the details to him and am absolutely thrilled with the result. Best haircut I've ever had (and five weeks on it still looks good). All my friends have commented on how well the style suits me, a number have asked me where I had it done and at least one friend has called in to SGM Hair as a result. I don't live on the doorstep, but will now happily make the 45-mile round trip to Dorchester. A 100% positive experience. Oh, and they serve great coffee, too!

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

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.

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!

What lovely ladies! The team here have been great in helping our son overcome his aversion to haircuts. Nothing was too much for them. They have been extremely patient. Would highly recommend

Theresa did my hair on Saturday for a wedding, and I couldn’t have loved it any more! They were so lovely, and totally understood that I didn’t want a super structured look, but something more natural and fun and she completely went beyond anything I had in mind - just amazing talent.

I can't rate this Salon any higher, just amazing! Bethany and Theresa chatted to me with advice first before I booked my appointment. I happened to do a big mistake with a hair colour change and nothing was too much trouble from Bethany with my hair. The end result is outstanding and I'm so very happy after my colour re-correction. Lovely atmosphere and I will now always go back as they all are just brilliant at what they do and so friendly and welcoming. Thank you so much x

I've been trying to get my hair how I wanted it for a long time haven't been happy, then I went to head to head and Thersea got it perfect, very happy and booked another appointment straight away, lovely friendly hairdressers thankyou 😊

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

I live going to Heather Hair Salon in Dorchester. After a several very bad experiences at other hair salons I have found that Heather and her team are caring, friendly and supportive. They have restored my faith in hairdressers and I now look forward to having my hair done. I can't recommend them enough. So glad I found a hairdresser I can trust.

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!

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

Cannot reccomend Kayleigh enough! Before my appointment I had severe anxiety of going to hairdressers (after a really bad cut and dye 4 years ago). She called me up prior to my appointment put me at ease within minutes of being on the call. When entering the studio she supplied me with a a fantastic cup of coffee and assured me that she could bring my hair back to life. Kayleigh is just so lovely and accommodating, she really listens to what you want and has amazing professional knowledge on what will suit you best! She is absolute magic! It has been a long time since I've felt this confident and good about myself! Again kayleigh you are amazing! I cannot wait to book back in! Thankyou so much!

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