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

Chloe you are amazing! You always do such a fantastic job with my French manicure and I get so many positive comments about my nails. I love getting my nails done with you; we always have such a good natter and giggle.

Have used Emma's a few times now, both at Courtyard and now in their new Salon. I have always been really satisfied with my cut. Previously, I have had Charlotte and she's very good. More recently I gave Freya ( their Level 3 apprentice) a go and she was also very good, and I was reassured with the fact her work was checked over before finishing to ensure it was up to standard, (which it was!). I always find the pricing very reasonable also so all round happy with the service and will definitely be back. Thank you.

Such a great hairdressers All the staff are friendly and welcoming Talented stylists

Had a haircut today at 8am! Took no time at all and I was very pleased. I will be returning.

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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 😄

Beautiful clean salon. Easy to find in town center with free parking. Excellent service. Attention to detail. Nothing is too much trouble. Lovely, Friendly staff. I always book an appointment due to work commitments and I’ve never had to wait. Couldn’t recommend them enough, I wouldn’t go anywhere else now. Thankyou Star nails for making my nails always look so beautiful 💖

Had my first appointment at Devas Hairdressing and I was extremely impressed by Sally’s knowledge and expertise. The salon is beautiful with a lovely atmosphere, looking forward to my next appointment for a colour! Thank you Sally, highly recommend!

JAPANESE HAIR SPA ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Today I tried something new, Deva's new Japanese Hair Spa, and it was the most incredible experience. Sally was very knowledgeable and I felt relaxed instantly. The treatment inc. an anti aging facial and massage plus my hair and scalp have never felt so clean but norished at the same time. Would 100% recommend this new treatment. I felt the salon feeling like I was floating ☁️☁️

Sally is an incredible stylist and wonderful person. I love how she colours and cuts my hair. I also took my 6 year old granddaughter (who has thick wavy hair) for a proper salon experience. Sally treated her like a princess and listened to what she wanted. Wow, her hair was transformed, my granddaughter was left feeling on top of the world and is so excited to show everyone her beautiful hair.

I really love Sally. Not only is she an excellent stylist but a smashing person too. She is down to earth and kind and I look forward to seeing her every time. Now in her beautiful new Gillingham salon it's even more of a treat to visit her Highly recommended

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 🤍🤍

Lisa, I just wanted to say how wonderful it was to have you and your team as such a big part of our wedding day. You, Jade and Lottie did such an amazing job making all of the women of the wedding look just fab! I LOVED my bridal hair, and every single one of my bridesmaids and family members loved their hair (and hand massages as well!) had such a wonderful experience on the day with you and Jade. I also can't say enough about how much I loved coming to your studio the day before the wedding for my trial. It was a wonderful space and I felt like I was at my own spa day with the delicious coffee and biscuit and luxuriousness of the space. I truly wish I could get married again just to work with you all again! Wishing you all the success you deserve in 2023 and beyond!

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

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!

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 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 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!

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 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.

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 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.

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.
