The Best Beauty Salons And Hairdressers in Minterne Magna, 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!

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

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 !

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

I asked Kam to do mine and my bridesmaids' hair and makeup after getting a recommendation from a friend. I wanted quite subtle makeup but that would still look great in photos and last all day. Kam did such an amazing job! After our trial, I mentioned one or two things I'd like to change about the makeup and she did it absolutely perfectly on the wedding day. Me and my bridesmaids were all really happy with our hair too, we had a real mix of hair textures to work with and all wanted quite different styles but Kam managed to do them all just from the photos we showed her. Would definitely recommend!!

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.

Would highly recommend, for both hair and nails.

Amazing, polite, covid safe... everything i could have asked for.

Brilliant experience. Love the hair cut, superb job. Finished off with a blow dry. Really makes you feel good.

Just brilliant! Very friendly and professional. Nails are stunning and have not lifted or chipped- beautiful range of colours and artwork- highly recommend them. Hair colouring and cutting is lovely- always does better than I envisaged my hair looking. Can't rate them highly enough. 😊

Just love the shed to bits!!! Went there to see Paula about my colour and cut, she was the best so knowledgeable I came out of there so happy the overall vibe of the place is enough to keep you going but with the girls on top the experience is amazing. On Saturday I went back with family members for an all day pampering session and I must say it was the most relaxing time I had ever had. The girls were brilliant so professional but down to earth also. We also had a lovely bubbly lunch laid on for us which was also lovely. Would recommend this hair and beauty salon every time it's the best and now having been for my hair is would never go anywhere else.

I've just enjoyed my first visit to the Shed... Such a friendly greeting on arrival. Followed by a superb deep tissue back shoulder and neck massage from Faye. Thank you!

I am just back from my 2nd visit for a wax, toes and massage. The first wonderful experience was not a fluke. Beautiful location, nice relaxed vibe and SUPERB massage from Millie. I've been for many massages in many countries, and Millie is up there with the best of them. Treat yourself...

Emily cut my hair and I felt relaxed and comfortable the moment I stepped in. She listened to what I wanted and cut my hair the way I wanted. It’s a cosy and tranquil space. I’ve booked in for another appointment and look forward to using the beauty treatments one day. I recommend checking how to get to the parking area before arriving as this was a bit tricky.

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 ⭐️

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!

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

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 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

I would highly recommend Liane for both colouring and cutting/styling. She is super talented, very knowledgable about hair, really friendly/lovely and I came away feeling amazing. I’ve been looking for a new hairdresser since moving to Southbourne from London, and I’m so pleased I found Liane, she is brilliant and I can’t wait to go back!

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 😊

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!

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!

Sean is the friendliest and most professional hair stylist. He always delivers excellent service and provides great value for money.

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 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 🩷

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!

Had a brilliant hair cut which was long overdue, Simone did a fabulous job all with a smile! Highly recommended

Lovely friendly people who actually listen to your needs - thru don’t rush and are a very affordable price too - all round fab!

Very friendly and helpful, asked lots of questions on how I like my hair, as it was my first visit to this hairdresser. Would definitely recommend them.

Very good salon, Simone is lovely and her and Donna did a great job with my hair. Definitely recommend 👍🏻

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!

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.

Wow! What a wonderful experience today! Complimentary massage, gorgeous products and exceptional service from Maddi. Will definitely be returning to Salon on The Square!

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
