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

First time of going to Hair Moda today. I Had a fabulous experience, Michelle is amazing, she did a fantastic job on my hair, the colour and cut was perfect thank you for making me so relaxed. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

I have been using Hair Moda for about a year now. The staff are lovely, especially Steph who cuts my hair. My 12 year old son has just started going to her too as he didn't have a good experience somewhere else so he didn't want to get his hair cut, but Steph was really nice and put him at ease. He even came away with a smile on his face. He is now happy to go again.

I got my roots done with Katie while holidaying in Weymouth from America. Katie did a brilliant job. I love my color and enjoyed the friendly and welcoming atmosphere at the salon. I will definitely return next time I'm in Weymouth.

My daughter was seen by Michelle (I remember Michelle doing my hair when I was my daughters age!!) my daughter absolutely loved her first experience with Michelle! We are super pleased with her new hair-do!

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’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!

Best hair salon I’ve ever been to !!! 5* service , very friendly, experts in their field. I’ve been seeing Katie for over 20 years and I cannot recommend enough xxx

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!

Can't recommend Tami at Babylon enough! I'm one of those fussy people who's precious about their length and anxious after past chops, but Tami listened to what I wanted and understood exactly what I meant. She was so lovely and I've come away so happy with exactly the haircut I asked for. Won't go anywhere else and will probably have more regular trims now I've found someone I trust!

I recently had a first manicure and pedicure with Yasmin at Babylon hair and beauty. It's a beautiful salon with friendly and professional staff. The best bit, my gel nails lasted the longest they ever have, even after a holiday with swimming every day, two weddings and a festival!!..I will be visiting again very soon!

Had a lovely appointment with Alice for gel nails. Just the treatment I needed while on my holiday. All the staff I met were very friendly, and had a good natter with Alice. Thanks ladies, I will be back when I'm down on my holidays again xx

My mum and I treated ourselves. Tammi (y) was our hairdresser. She washed, cut, blow dry, and styled. Coffee was offered and taken. The hair wash and head massage Tammi did was amazing. The whole experience was wonderful. Very welcoming and hospitable. Great location for me anyway. The shop is light and airy. Comfortable couch to wait on. We both loved our hair cut and styles. We will come again. I will try a massage soon.I highly recommend.

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!

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.

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 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!

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 cannot recommend the amazing staff at Mane Road enough. I have been coming here for all of my hair and beauty needs for over 10 years and look forward to returning everytime. Nothing is too much trouble and everyone goes over and above to make sure you have a great experience. The quality products and services are reasonably priced and regardless of the pandemic, hygiene has always been a priority. The salon is immaculately clean and the professionalism within is second to none. Thank you ladies you are simply the best xx

Had my eyebrows done and staff was so friendly and their attention to detail was amazing 😊 I know this is the place I’ve chosen for my brows now

I had the most amazing experience at my hair appointment today! I went in for the Fusio Dose Kerastase Treatment followed by a haircut, and it was exactly what my damaged hair needed. The appointment started with a heavenly head and neck massage that instantly helped me relax—it was such a wonderful touch. The treatment itself was phenomenal; my hair already feels so much healthier and nourished. And then came the haircut—Amelia, she did an incredible job! She truly understood what I wanted and worked her magic to bring my vision to life. I can’t thank her enough for her attention to detail and care. I was so impressed with the results that I booked another treatment with Amelia before leaving the salon. I’m already looking forward to it because this was by far the best treatment I’ve had. Thank you, Amelia, for your amazing work—I’m so grateful! Highly recommend this salon and Amelia’s expertise!

I have been going to Robin James for 12 years because of its quality and consistency. Aveda colours are also very kind to the hair. Joanne has been my hair stylist since she qualified. She really cares about her work and takes pride in doing a really good job. She is talented and thoughtful and fun to spend an hour or two with! I totally recommend her services without reservation.

I had the lovely hairdresser Mea do a full head of highlights on my hair. Such a comfortable environment and all the stuff made sure that you got something to drink and was looked after. The hair turned out beautifully. Would highly recommend.

I use Sapphire for all my beauty 'needs'. She is amazing, always professional but puts you at ease. My nails have never lasted so long with previous salons and her massage is to die for ☺️. Eyelashes, brows, you name it..Preen has got it covered and I love it! Easy parking and best prices. Love it.

Lottie is the best nail artist I’ve ever had

Treatment at Preen is first class. The salon is warm, friendly and modern. Saph is a talented beautician whose attention to detail is second to none. Saph is amazing at nails and always makes a stunning job of them. Wax treatments are relatively pain free as she is quick, precise and uses great products. Massage is so deeply relaxing and her focus on areas of pain and treating areas of pressure is blissful. I would highly recommend Preen 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Char had been perfecting my eyebrows for about 9 or so years now! She’s fab at what she does and always makes me feel very comfortable and welcome 🤗 also on the odd occasion that I get my nails done, she is always there with the best ideas for great designs.

The pride of Dorchester, Akemi Spa is a treat for the mind, body, and soul. Upon entering the spa I was immediately engulfed but the warm vibe. The owner Kelly has an infectious smile that says, “you’re in good hands.” The massages are more than enjoyable, they are a health necessity if rejuvenation, balance, and relaxation are your goals. I highly recommend a day of pampering and self care. Get a mani and pedi! Slump in and prance out, you won’t regret it! Prices are reasonable, service top notch, staff professional, and welcoming. Don’t go to Dorchester without visiting Akemi Spa.

Absolutely Amazing! I had Sammie and she was so lovely and chatty! She really knew what she was doing and I came out feeling so much better! Lovely place, super relaxing and can’t wait to go back again! Thank you x

Kelly & Hope recently did the makeup for my Wedding and we were all over the moon with the service we received! I had a makeup trial before the Wedding which was really enjoyable and helped to give us an idea of what we wanted to do on the day. Kelly & Hope were amazing on the day and made us all look incredible! We received so many compliments and they provided (as always) a professional and friendly service. It was lovely having them at the venue with us as we were getting ready and everyone’s makeup looked amazing all day long! I cannot thank Akemi Spa enough for helping us ladies all look fab on my big day! Thank you!

I support a resident to have her nails done here. All the staff are so lovely and treat her very well. She always feels good when she leaves there and shows everyone her nail. Would recommend these lovely people to anyone.
