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

I had my first laser treatment with Caitlin today, and it was an incredible experience! She made me feel completely at ease, thoroughly explaining how the treatment works and what to expect. I felt confident moving forward with her, and I would highly recommend both the clinic and Caitlin!

I had a scar on my eyebrow from cancer removal. I can honestly say you can barely tell now. So pleased with what has been done. Louisa is very warm and friendly and put me completely at ease. I would highly recommend!

Becca is an absolute asset to Highbrow. Her character is so lovely and her professional service is impeccable. The clinic itself is impressive. Very current and welcoming. I just loved the whole experience and will be back for regular maintenance.

I had another lovely visit to The Highbrow Clinic, always greeted with a lovely warm welcome and whenever I visit it always feels like a treat. I had my nails done with Caitlin and she was fantastic, such an amazing eye for detail, thorough and I walked away with the most perfect nails. She was engaging and chatty and it was such a treat. I've been going to nail bars for a while, but today having had BAIB nails at The Highbrow, I won't be going back to nail bars. The whole experience was just a treat, start to finish and with a great end result. Thanks Highbrow x

Perfect service. Just what I needed, Tina was wonderful, I had a lovely haircut and time!!

Always very satisfied after the appoinments. Very reasonable prices and great hairdressers! My new favourite is Kathie!

First time visiting Tahnees Hair & Beauty, and it will definitely not be the last. I suffer with Severe Mental Health Illness including Agoraphobia and Severe Anxiety, I explained this when booking my appointment and I was reassured with supportive understanding. I was booked in with Nkki and she has done a wonderful job on my hair and was very supportive during the whole time I was there, I felt atease white quickly and even enjoyed having my hed massaged. I've booked a follow up appointment for 6 weeks. Thank You Nikki @Tahnees Highly Recommended

Lynn cuts my hair and she's great, really friendly and I've never been disappointed, highly recommend

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!

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.

Babylon is a fantastic salon in a great location. The salon is always clean, bright and everyone who works there is very welcoming. Jasmine is a great hairdresser who is very knowledgeable and is always happy to help. It’s really easy to book in with Jas using the online booking system on the website and I would recommend her to anyone!

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'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

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!!

Amazing, polite, covid safe... everything i could have asked for.

Just brilliant! Very friendly and professional. Nails are stunning and have not lifted or chipped- beautiful range of colours and artwork- highly recommend them. Hair colouring and cutting is lovely- always does better than I envisaged my hair looking. Can't rate them highly enough. 😊

Would highly recommend, for both hair and nails.

1st visit for a haircut friendly, comfortable and cut well. Thank you

I am absolutely thrilled with my new colour and cut (thank you, Maddie and Colin). Everyone is commenting on how nice my hair is!

Just fabulous customer service today .Colour by Maddie and wonderful cut and style by Paul 🥰. Such a lovely ambience at this salon which I have been going to for years. Superb customer experience x

I had a wonderful back, neck & shoulder massage with Marissa today!- absolutely super! I would highly recommend Marissa; she is absolutely delightful as well! A lovely environment also! Thank you Marissa! Maureen Hinton

It’s always a pleasure visiting Coleese and there’s no other salon I’d rather go to. All the staff are so friendly and attentive - they ensure I never leave unhappy with a service. Today the wonderful Madi did my hair. I’ve seen Madi at the salon during a lot of her training and it’s so lovely seeing her progress. She did an excellent job with my colour and styled it beautifully afterwards - I couldn’t be happier with the result!

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

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

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.

Friendly and professional. Really pleased with my nails and eyes. Great service and great price. Would definitely recommend

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.

Had my first appointment at the lovely new salon today, which is only 5 mins more in the car and has such easy parking. I'm notoriously bad at self care, and the ladies are just brilliant at making me feel relaxed - and I'm so bloomin' chuffed with my hair! Charlotte did my cut and colour. So natural and everything I'd hoped for, again. Freya did my wash and blow-dry, and added some lovely curls as a bonus, too. I hate too hot water or driers, and Freya honestly gave the best wash, scalp massage, condition and dry I've ever had. She really listened to what I wanted. Hubby has no choice but to take my new hair out for dinner now! Thanks so much, ladies.

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.

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

Kam is a brilliant make up artist! She is quiet, calm and totally professional. She has a wealth of experience and is obviously hard working! She was brilliant for my wedding hair and makeup and also bridesmaids and family members. I can't rate her highly enough. She was lovely company to have on my wedding morning amidst the busy morning !

Kam came to our venue to do vintage updos for my stepdaughter and I on the morning of the wedding. She worked quickly, was a complete professional and we were both thrilled with the final result. I’d highly recommend her, she was brilliant!

Kam was lovely to work with and super patient when my hair took ages to get right at the trial! She really is an artist! I have never felt so confident in how I looked and was so pleased to have found her! My sisters wedding hair was also beautiful and Kam seemed to know exactly what worked within minutes of working with us. 100% recommended. Lovely hair and make up artist.

Kam was amazing! She made my wedding day makeup and hair perfect! Was an absolute joy to work with and would recommend to anyone!! Photos by @richhowman

Friendly and welcoming staff and great service. The lady that trimmed and styled my hair did a lovely job on my hair. Very accurate and precise with her work. Going back for color. Excellent customer service!

Nadia was attentive and caring, an excellent stylist. Highly recommend this salon!

Lovely, friendly, highly professional staff and fantastic hair cuts in a welcoming environment. We had 3 wet cuts and we are all loving our new do's! Dogs allowed in to salon with owner too for those on holiday!

Wonderful hairdressers and so friendly
