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

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'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 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!

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 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!

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

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!

Rachel had a giant challenge with my hair having been two-toned and box dyed for years and she did an incredible job not only getting it the colour I adored but giving it the style and shine I loved! I couldn’t be happier to be on this hair journey with her and can’t wait to see what she does with it next! Super friendly and always a happy face to see - thank you Rach 🤍🤍

Stepping into this salon felt like entering a peaceful retreat—it's easily the most stunning salon I've ever visited, and I’ve worked in & visited a fair few! The huge glass windows offer picturesque views which immediately set a serene tone, complemented by the relaxing head, neck, and shoulder massage after being seated. Every aspect of the experience is thoughtfully curated, from the calming scent of essential oils that greets you at the door to the beautiful décor and earth-conscious hair products. Abi provided the most detailed consultation I’ve ever experienced! It’s rare to find a stylist who truly listens and offers thoughtful suggestions. She completely understood what I wanted and did an exceptional job cutting and styling my hair. It's such a relief to find someone to work with my hair texture, rather than against it! This place is truly a gem. I can't wait to return for another luxurious experience!

Got my hair cut here by Abi yesterday and all I can say is wow. The salon is such a nice welcoming space, very clean with lovely details and lots of natural light. Abi spent the most time on a consultation of any hair professional I've ever met and as a result my hair is EXACTLY how I wanted it to look. I've left salons before feeling like the stylist just did what they wanted - this was the opposite. Abi checked in with me throughout and explained what steps she was taking and why. It felt like a process I was a part of and I left the salon feeling confident - and got compliments on my hair when I went out last night! Will definitely be getting my hair cut here in future. Thank you xx

I book in to have my hair done with jade as she does amazing things when colouring my hair to blonde. The staff here are always lovely and welcoming. Offer a drink and biscuits which is lovely. Always smells great in here and has a lovely atmosphere. Really enjoy driving out this way from Blandford to have my hair done.

Approaching the half century mark, I have never felt confident about what to do with my hair. Anxiety and depression has made trips to the hairdressers a constant battle, staring at myself in the mirror with a room full of other people, music blaring and constant noise is just not for me. Bending over the bath at home, so the hairdresser can wash the colour out is also an experience I’d rather not repeat. Vicky rescued me in Dec 2022, a simple Facebook post with availability just before Christmas caught my eye after being let down by the dreaded mobile hairdresser! After pinging a message to Vicky, she responded quickly, and instantly put me at ease. She asked me to send a couple of pictures of my current hair and what I wanted to achieve. Having no idea, she guided me through my options. We popped in for the all important patch test, and on meeting Vicky for the first time, I felt like I was catching up with an old friend. Vicky has made The Garden Salon a lovely quiet retreat, gorgeous decor, with the regal resident bission-frisées snuggled in her bed, and Ezra the Main-Coon is definitely the salon’s Prince! Vicky starts every appointment with a full consultation, what do you like?, what don’t you like? and what are you wanting to achieve? She is honest with her advice, and I believe she wants you to feel the very best you can, both after your appointment and at home when maintaining your style yourself. For the last 12 months, Vicky has regularly restyled, cut and coloured both mine and my 3 daughter’s ( all long hair, age 16, 20 and 22) hair. Throw ADHD, ASD, Eczema into the mix too, trips to the hairdresser literally used to make me pull my hair out! Well no more, walking through the gate to the salon brings a sense of calm, knowing I will walk back through a couple of hours later, feeling lighter, happier , and most importantly a little bit better about myself. We all feel incredibly lucky to have Vicky and The Garden Salon and would whole heartedly recommend you to visit. Thank you Vicky, T, H, P & E

Excellent hairdresser - understood exactly what I wanted. Absolutely delighted with my haircut, very friendly service, lovely salon wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Garden salon to anyone. Number one salon in Gillingham.

Amazing service always knows just how to take care of very thick curly hair.

Vicky really puts a lot of time, care and love into her work. I felt listened to during our consultation chat, and at the same time she shared her own thoughts and expertise on what colours would work best with my fine hair, which I really appreciated. I was really, really happy with the results- my hair looks so much more natural and healthy now, and the cut has made it look much thicker. Her garden salon is a lovely, restful space, and is so well equipped and beautifully taken care of too. Highly recommended 😊 Thanks so much, Vicky!

Went to star nails for the first time after being recommended by my daughter. And so pleased I did. Very friendly and accommodating staff. My nails turned out exactly as I wanted them to be. Gorgeous. Very very happy. I will be returning.

I am really impressed with this nail salon. It was my first visit and I didn't know what to expect, I chose it randomly as my regular beautician was fully booked. They fit me in the next day in the morning, which I was very pleased with. They were friendly and my nails were done quickly and to perfection! Highly recommend!! I will definitely be coming back in the future.

Best manicure and pedicure I've ever had! The gents diligence on attention to detail and care was second to none. They also do builder gel which gave the most natural looking nails I've ever had, shaped perfectly! Ideal for strengthening & growing out natural nails, and for those who need a bit of strength to protect nails on keyboard. Huge selection of colours to choose from. Super lovely staff, wish everywhere was like this!

Had a very nice time getting my nails done, for the first time. I went with my mum. They're all lovely In there and I'm very happy with the job they did. I will be going back again. I would recommend giving them a visit 😄

I have had my hair cut at East Stour hair port for about 28 years. Always had the perfect experience. I would give it 20 stars if possible.

Always excellent

Chloe is a fantastic stylist and Colourist who listens and understands my hair. Chloe always does a consultation before anything else, advises and then carries out a professional service all the way to the finish. I'm always happy with how chloe does my hair and will always return time after time. Davines is truly beautiful product to use and the colours are longlasting and Shiny.

Chloe was very welcoming and professional. She listened to my needs and gave me a very good haircut with immense care and detail. I would highly recommend and I shall be returning.

Hannah and her team are truly exceptional. I would not consider going anywhere else for my treatments. I regularly receive waxing services as well as BIAB, and I always appreciate their professionalism and welcoming atmosphere.

Always superb. Just the best!

Always a friendly place to go 🙂
