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

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

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!

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.

Really lovely visit to Karen today, relaxing through a hot stone and oil massage. Helping me get over some hard training this week. Thanks and I would recommend. Liam

Such a lovely place, Amy did my hair colour, highlights cut blow dry and straightened. She was quite busy bless her but still very professional. Very friendly and relaxing place, and seems you could have a a day of pampering because they do so much there, I'm actually thinking about what shall I have done next

Best salon on Weymouth, Karen always makes my nails look fab!!

Lovely people, and gave me some really good advice. I love my hair, the cut was amazing, and, I will be going back there, they are now my hairdressers. So people out there reading this they are very friendly and amazing.

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.

Never knew long nails were possible till you! My gel journey has changed my life! You’re talented, lovely, funny and brilliant at what you do! No one I’d trust more x

Lottie is the best nail artist I’ve ever had

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.

Great service and quality work . Highly recommend

Great value, friendly staff and very happy with the haircut.

Lovely salon very friendly. Very pleased with my colour an cut. Deffo a regular now

Excellent hairdressers!! Nice friendly staff would highly rate them

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 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.

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'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!

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 have been going to changing grooms for years. It is definitely the best place to get your hair cut. Nicky and the rest of the team are so good at there jobs. I’ve never had a problem there. I always look forward too having my hair cut there.

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 🌟

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 🫶🏼

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

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♥️

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.

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!

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!

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 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

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.

After being let down by my local hairdressers, I needed to find somewhere to get my hair cut. I found a last-minute appointment with Lois at Shaftesbury. All staff that I seamed friendly, Providing a lovely atmosphere. I gave Lois very little input as to what I wanted. The haircut is amazing; I will be booking again when I need my next haircut. Definitely recommended

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!

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
