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

Bex is amazing at what she does! Hair, make up and even helping out with other little details. I loved my hair and make up in my trial but loved it even more on the day. I cried when she showed me my hair because it was just so beautiful! Bex helped the morning run smoothly and stayed right to the very end to do finishing touches. I cannot thank her enough for getting myself and my bridal party ready x

Bex was amazing and so very helpful from start to finish! She understood my brief perfectly and everyone felt great! I cannot recommend Bex enough, bridal hair and makeup can be expensive and something you might think you can do without but honestly if you can then it is well worth it. I felt like the perfect version of myself! Keep making people feel amazing Bex!

It was an absolute pleasure having Bex do mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup for my wedding. She is a true professional! so friendly and efficient but also incredibly talented. She easily adapted to each of our chosen hairstyles and makeup looks and executed them all beautifully. We were all delighted with the end results and better yet!... they lasted all day/night. The makeup was so tasteful and classic and it stayed in place all day and didn't crack or crease. I opted for a half up, half down hairstyle with a Hollywood wave, which for someone with very heavy and thick hair, I was nervous about but it honestly was perfect and stayed in place so well all day. I couldn't recommend Bex enough! she's just FAB!!! xoxox

Everything happens for a reason and in my case this couldn’t be more true. After a previous booking with another hair and makeup artist got cancelled, I contacted Bex in a panic to see if she had any availability for me. Bex was so helpful and accommodating and when I went for my hair and makeup trial, I couldn’t have wished for anything better. Bex has such a calming presence about her and this was definitely something I needed on the morning of my wedding day. How my hair and makeup looked was so much more than I could have dreamed off and she made me and my bridal party feel so beautiful. Shout out to any future brides, book Bex, you won’t be disappointed.

Love going to the Highbrow. Beautiful salon with Beautiful ladies to make you glow. Highly recommended especially if you want to spoil yourself. Very professional. Every treatment I have had there has been perfect.

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!

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

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 have been using Heather's for twenty years and found them to be welcoming, efficient, skilled stylists who transform my modest locks into wonderful shape and cheer me up. When my stylist of 5 years left, she ensured I was looked after by another equally skilled stylist. Full marks for Heather's!

I've been going to Heather's for over 40 years and I can't praise her enough. With difficult hair her advice and knowledge has always left me looking and feeling great.

I live going to Heather Hair Salon in Dorchester. After a several very bad experiences at other hair salons I have found that Heather and her team are caring, friendly and supportive. They have restored my faith in hairdressers and I now look forward to having my hair done. I can't recommend them enough. So glad I found a hairdresser I can trust.

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!!

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!

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 just had the BEST haircut I have had in years ! I asked Joanne for a certain style and she just got it straight away ! The result was better than I explained …Love it thank-you, highly recommend her work.

Just had my hair cut here for the first time today. Beccy was amazing and talked me through step by step of what I wanted my hair to look like - I didn’t even have to show her a picture! Lovely atmosphere and great service. Will be back again. ❤️

Wow! I messaged to have my hair done, with in 24 hours I was in the salon for a consultation, that evening all was in place and a few days later my hair was transformed I wanted it done ASAP and it was and saying that! A TOP job was done and couldn't fault the service and just how amazing the salon was . Thank-you for making me feel great!

Amber has literally transformed my hair into something amazing. Amber is friendly and made me feel comfortable straight away. I wasn’t sure how short I wanted my hair at first but I am so happy with my cut. Definitely would recommend this hair salon to anyone! :)

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!

Kayleigh is an amazing hair stylist. I love going to her and each time her work is absolutely amazing. Would definitely highly recommend

Kayleigh is absolutely incredible at what she does! I love my hair every single time and would rather wait to see her than go anywhere else. Amazing service, amazing atmosphere and absolutely unreal hair ⭐️

5 stars, 6 if I could! 😂 Second to none in Dorchester. Highly skilled and up to date knowledge as well as all the extras you want from the salon experience. You’ll feel renewed when you leave!

Kayleigh is an amazing hair stylist and professional. As a women with very curly hair I always struggled to trust anyone to cut it the correct way. Not only that she helped me when my hair was a horrid colour and took it back to the way it was before when other hairdressers would turn me down and say it wasn't yet possible. One hundred out of ten would recommend

A massive thank you to Lena for my beautiful nails! My first time visiting. I have already booked to come back! Was made to feel very welcome and Lena was very easy to talk to. Very professional service. Over all a great, luxurious and welcoming place. Glad to be on my doorstep! Can thoroughly recommend anyone looking for a great job at a fair price from an attentive professional. Very pleased. Thank you! ☺️

Booked in a nail appointment, prior to my holiday, two weeks on going strong! I also booked in very last minute for eyelash curl and tint. Wow!! Stayed late to fit me in (as I’d been let down and had limited availability. The care, kindness and attention to detail is outstanding. Kind, thoughtful and genuinely a wonderful human. 110% recommend. (Picture attached is nails after two weeks of application)

The most wonderful experience as always! I have been to Beau’s Beauty & Aesthetics four times and will continue to return especially for my Manicures and Pedicures. Lena is so lovely and my most recent autumn nails are stunning! Every treatment Lena provides is exceptional and to the highest standards. I also enjoy our conversations; with Lena and Helen (her Mum) such a welcoming, friendly and homely-feeling salon! Absolutely recommend!

I highly recommend Beau’s Beauty as I have been twice to have my nails done and a pedicure. Lena and her mum are lovely and make you feel so welcome. Ive never had a pedicure before and it was amazing so relaxing and will definitely have more done there. It’s a warm welcoming and relaxing place to get all your beauty treatments done.

Jayda is so lovely and made me feel really comfortable. The atmosphere was super friendly, and my brows have never looked better. They’re full, perfectly shaped, and just what I wanted. Can’t recommend her enough xx

I went to see Jayda Rose for a double session of radiofrequency skin tightening. Her room was warm and cosy, located above Elysian hairdressers on the Dorchester Rd. After 4 years on high dose steroids (40 to 60mgs a day) and despite losing weight, I was left with a considerable amount of excess fatty, loose skin all around my neck, and some on my face. I wasn't expecting much difference. However, the results were amazing and instant. I actually have a chin and a large amount of the excess tissue around my neck and some lines on my face have disappeared after my first session! The procedure was painless and felt like a warm facial. There were no side effects, such as red skin or blotches. Jadya was professional and friendly and has undertaken an extensive amount of training and courses. I would highly recommend jayda👌 ❤️ Update 18th Dec 2024: I have now had a cours of 10 sessions costing £279. The results are astonishing. I didn't even think this was possible. For any doubters I only adopted my rescue Yorkie, Lily in August. So I have not spent a lot of time to achieve the results below. I feel like I'm back to my old self. No needles as I'm on warfarin. The spic speaks for itself. Thank you so much Jayda ❤️

Jayda is super professional and makes the service I had super comfortable. I was recommended to book with her, and I definitely will recommend Jayda to all my clients as she offers such a wide range of services. Thank you Jayda. I am very happy with your professionalism.

Jayda is an amazing beauty therapist with very good eye for detail! I’ve always been a bit funny with who does my eyebrows but I trust Jayda 100%, she does a beautiful job on them 🤩 She’s the kindest person I’ve ever met and she makes you feel at ease as soon as you walk in the room. I highly recommend!😁
