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 !

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

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!

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 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.

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!

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 my hair done by Beth here, she was absolutely amazing, knew exactly what I wanted and what would work for me. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I am so happy with my hair and I felt confident for the first time in a while because of her work. Shes a talented hairdresser and a lovely person 🙂

Beth did an amazing job with the Olaplex Stand Alone Treatment! My hair feels incredibly soft and healthy. My curls feel so light and bouncy. The results were sooo good, and I couldn't be happier!! I highly recommend Beth for all your hair wants/needs. Shes super knowledgeable and really friendly. Beth talked me through the whole process and explained all the benefits of the treatment. Can’t wait for my next treatment!

‘Better than I ever imagined’ was my daughter’s initial reaction and a month later she still absolutely loves her hair. Profile came highly recommended and I am very grateful for the friendliness and skills.

Beth is amazing! Did exactly what I asked for unlike my previous hairdresser. Was chatty, vibrant and fun! Highly recommend!

Just fabulous customer service today .Colour by Maddie and wonderful cut and style by Paul 🥰. Such a lovely ambience at this salon which I have been going to for years. Superb customer experience x

I had a wonderful back, neck & shoulder massage with Marissa today!- absolutely super! I would highly recommend Marissa; she is absolutely delightful as well! A lovely environment also! Thank you Marissa! Maureen Hinton

Absolutely fabulous experience. Beautiful haircut, wonderful staff. Will be my new go to salon 💇‍♀️ Thank you ☺️

It’s always a pleasure visiting Coleese and there’s no other salon I’d rather go to. All the staff are so friendly and attentive - they ensure I never leave unhappy with a service. Today the wonderful Madi did my hair. I’ve seen Madi at the salon during a lot of her training and it’s so lovely seeing her progress. She did an excellent job with my colour and styled it beautifully afterwards - I couldn’t be happier with the result!

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!!💆🏻‍♀️💅

Great little Salon! I have been having my hair cut by Emily for years - she always does an amazing job! Would 100% recommend 😊

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!

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

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

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!

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 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!
