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

I have been having facial treatments with Annie for years now and she is consistently the perfect blend of professional, passionate and friendly. Her beauty room is tucked away in a very relaxing and tranquil space. Every treatment is performed to the highest standard and always enjoyable. Having suffered years of problem skin, Annie began a combination of hydrodermabrasion alongside tailored skincare products and my skin has been transformed. I’m so grateful and I wouldn't go anywhere else!

I've been going to Annie now for some time, so glad i found her, the salon is always a welcoming place for me, Annie is amazing with my skin, she has certainly transformed it, I get lots of compliments about my skin for my age, and i never miss a booking as i love the way the treatments make my skin feel, the products are lovely, i never use anything else now on my skin. To cap it all off, Annie is such a lovely lady, which makes the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable.

Annie has really helped me with my skin since I have been seeing her. She offers a free consultation which helps decide on treatments that may work for you. There is no pressure at all, which was lovely. I receive high-frequency facials and they have worked wonders for my skin. The experience itself is lovely, very relaxing and calming. I always look forward to going and seeing the reward of it a few days letter. I highly recommend Annie.

I am coming to the end of a course of Microneedling with Annie. But will absolutely be coming back for further treatments! My initial consultation, Annie took her time to consult with me, listening to my concerns and goals, and offering tailored advice, with extensive knowledge about skin and skin care Annie’s salon is comfortable, clean, peaceful and tranquil setting where you are immediately put at ease and feel realxed. The results I have from Annie have been amazing and I am so pleased with what has been achieved. After each appointment, Annie has checked in with me a day or so after to ensure everything is ok. I cannot wait to continue my skin journey with Annie, and anyone that’s deliberating about treatments I would wholeheartedly recommend you to see her. You will not be disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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

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!!💆🏻‍♀️💅

Amazing nails! Been going regularly and always very happy with my nails! Every care is taken to make sure they are perfect! Lovely people! I feel very relaxed whilst I’m having them done!

I've been going to Shaftesbury Nails for around 5 months now and I go every 3 weeks with my best friend. They are always so accommodating to our appointment times. I always come armed with hard nail designs to my appointments and they ALWAYS pull it off! Thank you for always being amazing 🤩

They are amazing and I always leave with perfect nails! Highly recommend

Always amazing service. They really take care of me and do an amazing job of my nails. Wouldn’t go anywhere else

My son had severe anxiety with haircuts and used to cry/scream/lash out during appointments before going here. Since using this place he's like a different child. So calm and happy and spends the appointment pulling faces in the mirror. They always listen to what we ask for. Never had bad service. 2 very happy sons. Thank you

Lovely barbershop with incredibly friendly staff members. Always go above and beyond and are happy to accommodate your requests.

Great hair cut with very friendly staff and no booking needed. Much recommended

The best

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.

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

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

Chloe is an excellent stylist, I can in for a trim and she made my hair look amazing. She’s very friendly and understanding of what her clients want. Definitely recommend going to Chloe for your next hair cut!

Great first time experience at Vita Skin Spa! Amazing ambience as soon as you walk in! My professional, Lily was outstanding, very friendly and professional. Cannot wait to come back for another treatment. Facility is immaculate and definitely my new favourite place. Highly recommend!!!

Thank you so much Chloe. Your service from the beginning was professional, welcoming and you did everything I asked. My hair feels light and bouncy again. I look forward to booking with you again for a colour refresh soon!

My favourite place to escape to! Long time client of Beauty by Rochelle and the service and warmth never waivers. From perfect shellac manicures and intimate waxing by Molly to the best brows in the game and amazing lymphatic massages by Rochelle and relaxing pedis and facials with Olivia and Lizzie! Book in for your some self care and you wont regret it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Incredible salon!! Every visit to Rochelles brings me great joy. I find myself looking forward to each appointment as if going to have coffee with a dear friend. The staff are superb, not only in the level of care taken to provide me with a professional and friendly service, excellent treatments and a wide range of appointment availability but in the enjoyment they show in their roles. The salon is a beautiful space and always so clean. On most occasions I’m taken into my appointment early and always offered a drink. Thankyou ladies, for always looking after me and my eyebrows!

Rochelle has transformed my lashes and brows! From thin, fair brows to dark full and fluffy and my lashes look so long. There won’t be any need for mascara. Thank you so much, I will definitely be back!

I love coming here for treatments; the girls are all lovely, the setting is relaxing and I’m always so happy with my brows. As someone who used to find going into salons or for new treatments very daunting, the girls are amazing at explaining everything, are professional yet friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone!
