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

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.

Janemarie and all the team have been and continue to be amazing, they have looked after me so well, having broken my shoulder it has been impossible to wash my hair and do my nails, so I have been a regular visitor the past 3 weeks, and they have been so generous and caring. What a wonderful place. Thank you, Nicky xx

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!

Myself and my daughter visited Huttons yesterday to have our nails (acrylics) and eyebrows waxed and tinted with Chantelle . I must say how super friendly the team are and Chantelle has done and amazing job . She is very professional and also such fun . These are the best nails we have ever had . We will be returning regularly! Thank you

So.....had my first consultation at Hutton’s, with Tanya in the Hair Loss clinic today. From the second I pushed open the door, I was greeted with smiles and hello’s from several of the stylists (I’ve never been here before) before Tanya came to greet me. I went in feeling quite nervous, as this is something I’ve had to pluck up courage to do. I’ve been looking for a while at solutions for thinning hair and I’ve used Toppik fibres, sticky root spray, thickening shampoos, all sorts. Nothing felt or looked natural, being sticky and feeling unpleasant in my hair, and decided eventually that I had to bite the bullet and seek proper advice. I chose Hutton’s Hair, I liked the look of the website, and honestly today I have been blown away by the friendliness and empathy I have received. Tanya is lovely. This first consultation I think was for her to get to know me a little, my personality, my expectations , try a few styles and colours. My daughter was with me and Tanya involved her a lot, and we were both extremely happy with the experience. Tanya gave me advice on what to do with my own hair and immediately ordered several styles for me to try next consult, and honestly now I can’t wait to go back! So for now it’s 5 stars all round, and I will update after my next consultation and hopefully amazing hair! Thank you Tanya 😊

Tanya and her team are cheerful and professional. I had never been there before but immediately knew was in safe hands! I came out feeling a million dollars and have booked to go again. Laura, my stylist was knowledgeable and cheery without being too much. I would totally recommend this salon

No one does it better than Elizabeth Jayne forever working wonders on my hair and making me feel glam. would highly recommend

Elizabeth Jayne is such an amazing salon as soon as you walk in you get greeted with a smile and someone there to hang up your coat, it’s got such a lovely feel and obviously is beautiful to look at, all staff so friendly and chatty, I get my hair and nails done by the lovely Lauren have been with Amie and Lauren for over a year now and love it so much such a high quality salon and professionalism and great prices too! If you haven’t been there you need to! Thank you Amie and Lauren xxx

Lauren gives me a wonderful gel manicure. The products used are top quality and last me a full 4 weeks without any chips. The salon is beautiful very welcoming and chic. I'm glad to have found a new local nail tech that i will be sticking with, as long as they will have me 😁. Keep up the good work ladies x

I have been going to Lauren now for nearly a year. My nails were in a terrible state when i first arrives. Lauren is a 10/10 nail tech, so friendly and polite, makes the environment so comfortable and enjoyable!" She is very professional and there is nothing she can't do... all you have to do is ask. I would highly recommend you pay a visit to the salon. My nails have never looked more fab so thank you Lauren.

After hearing about Mane Hair Salon through friends & their friends too, I had to try it, and I am SOO pleased I did! Lianne did an amazing job listening to what I was after, and I left feeling fresh with my new hair cut looking so healthy and stylish! I honestly couldn't recommend them enough. Thank you, Lianne, you will definitely be seeing me again!! 😊✨️

Haze at mane is amazing. I have always wanted extensions, but having curly hair it is so hard to find someone that specialises in curls and didn't want to have to straighten my curls to match the extension texture. Then I found Haze! She is absolutely the best, my friend is a hairdresser and said they were the best fitted extensions he had ever come across! The extensions are such high quality and match exactly to my wave/curl pattern and colour. They look so natural, she completely smashed it, I'll forever have extensions now! You can also blow dry them straight and a bouncy blow dry lasts days! The best of the best!

I had a last minute appointment with Hazel and she was great. She carefully listed to what I wanted giving me a great haircut (long bob); my hair is super thick so it does take loads of patience and skills. We also discussed about hair colour and I am going back to see her next week; so very pleased with my experience so far 😊

Best hair around!! Lianne’s so friendly and fun to be around. She’s super professional and always makes sure that your hair is healthy and looks amazing!! I would recommend to everyone!

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

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!

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 ⭐️

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!

Gorgeous little salon with such a friendly vibe. Sean has now given my hair a much needed, fabulous cut and blow dry, and highlights today that I’m thrilled with. Loved the head massage and the whole experience was great from start to finish. Thank you Sean!

I love Sean with a passion! He always does an amazing job and I will never use another hairdresser. Super chatty and friendly, does my mums hair as well. A lovely clean salon, boujiee and well maintained. Always offers a drink and does an amazing job with everything, cut, colour and blow drys are always top notch!! Will always recommend him 🩷

Excellent! I’ve been seeing Sean for years now. He is the only person I trust with my hair. An absolute colour genius! I am always happy to experiment with my hair, within the confines of having a professional job! Sean never fails to deliver. You won’t be disappointed - he has a natural ability to do just what suits your hair, personality and style. 😍

I travel from london to get my hair done here. It’s worth the journey. Sean makes you feel at home, and the massage when he washes your hair is blissful! I always get a half head blonde highlights. Highly recommend!

I haven't been to the hairdressers for a long time but I met the lovely hairdresser Gemma. She made me feel at ease and completely transformed my hair. I absolutely love my hair. I would highly recommend treating yourself here.

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.

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

Kam was amazing! She made my wedding day makeup and hair perfect! Was an absolute joy to work with and would recommend to anyone!! Photos by @richhowman

Kam was lovely to work with and super patient when my hair took ages to get right at the trial! She really is an artist! I have never felt so confident in how I looked and was so pleased to have found her! My sisters wedding hair was also beautiful and Kam seemed to know exactly what worked within minutes of working with us. 100% recommended. Lovely hair and make up artist.

Kam came to our venue to do vintage updos for my stepdaughter and I on the morning of the wedding. She worked quickly, was a complete professional and we were both thrilled with the final result. I’d highly recommend her, she was brilliant!

Kam is a brilliant make up artist! She is quiet, calm and totally professional. She has a wealth of experience and is obviously hard working! She was brilliant for my wedding hair and makeup and also bridesmaids and family members. I can't rate her highly enough. She was lovely company to have on my wedding morning amidst the busy morning !

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!

I've been going to Coleese for years and it is always a wonderful experience. Thank you Toni, Colin and Team for making me feel great today. See you next time!

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

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
