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

Brilliant as ever

Always a friendly place to go 🙂

Janemarie and all the team have been and continue to be amazing, they have looked after me so well, having broken my shoulder it has been impossible to wash my hair and do my nails, so I have been a regular visitor the past 3 weeks, and they have been so generous and caring. What a wonderful place. Thank you, Nicky xx

What a fabulous salon!!! I moved to Dorset from West London last year, and was concerned about the quality of hairdressing in a country village, being used to going to Trevor Sorbie. I needn't have worried when I chose the Salon on the square.... A beautiful environment, highly professional stylists and colorists... I had balayage and a really sassy bob cut.... I look fantastic!!! I had my first cut and colour with Claire.. She's brilliant (and sweet and funny), then, as she wasn't available for colour next time, I was looked after by Poppy, who was equally accomplished, and so, so lovely! Back again today for an even sassier and shorter bob with Claire again, and, after cutting my hair beautifully, I asked for shorter she obliged with a smile - even though she missed her lunch, due to me being THAT customer... You know, the one that's a bit of a pain in the A**. Bless her. Go.. Have a great experience!

I am new to Salon on the Square and Georgie cut my hair really well. I actually felt for the first time in ages the person cutting understood my hair (fine and a bit sparse!) and listened to what I wanted and what didn’t work. I will be booking another appointment. Thank you!

I recently had my hair cut by Maddy. It's the first cut where I can wash and style my hair and make it (nearly) as good as when Maddy first did it. She was so lovely I booked my daughter in to have hers done as well. Both daughters treated to a hot chocolate and Maddy was so good at listening to my daughter and cutting her hair perfectly. Can't recommend highly enough.

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.

Chloe washed my hair really well, excellent head massage and was absolutely lovely chatting to me. Louise consulted with me as to what I would like done then cut and blow dried my hair really professionally. Looked better than I had imagined. I love coming to Salon Fish - everyone is so welcoming. Prices are very reasonable and the Prosecco was a lovely festive touch. Thank you to you all .

I’ve had Corey colour, cut and style my hair and he does an amazing job every time! A lovely stylist who is always up for a chat, very attentive when asking for refreshments and a great person! Also a thank you to Chloe and Charlie who also do an amazing job throughout the salon, never see them not doing anything! 10/10 Staff + Salon ❤️

With how my hair looked before I got my hair done at Salon Fish, I did not expect my hair to turn out this good! I was so overwhelmed, I got a little emotional after my first appointment here. Louise have been doing my hair and she is absolutely amazing! She is the only women I trust with my hair now. Everyone there is absolutely lovely and such a nice atmosphere to be in. I always look forward to coming in and have a mingle whilst getting pampered. The first photo was taken before I had my first appointment. Second photo was my first appointment and the third was my second. 🤩

Massive thank you to Louise! Who did my hair on the 13/02. I was really nervous beforehand. As soon as she started I felt relaxed straight away, Louise did everything that I asked for. Loved the colour on my hair, did the cut brilliantly and styled it beautifully. Will defo be back to have it done again.

Had a lovely hair cut today with Nadine. I didn't know what to do with my hair, but thanks to Nadine's knowledge I walked out with my hair looking much more healthy and with more volume! I also had a lovely head, neck and shoulder massage which was a really nice touch. Already booked back in for January! Thanks Nadine & the rest of the Beautifully Gorgeous team for being so warm and welcoming!

Thank you so so much to Amelia for turning my hair from dull to luxurious 😍 i am incredibly pleased to say I am finally happy with how my hair has turned out today. I will 1000% be going back to this salon, very clean and tidy with lovely staff. The salon is beautiful in its self and again thank you so much Amelia for everything today, you have made my week complete ☺️ I would also like to thank Freya for my lovely cut, blow dry and curls makes the look come together🥰 I am sure to be recommending you to anyone that asks for a great salon☺️ Thank you Beautifully Gorgeous♥️

I visited for the first time after months of needing a cut. The staff were warm and welcoming , which was a fabulous first impression. My assigned styling was very honest, letting me know that she would prefer to pass me to a more senior stylist, due to my hairstyle. I appreciated this honesty. My cut wasn't cheap but it was really well done and I like the finished style. The head massage was wonderful and so relaxing ! I think I probably overshared my life (! Lol)but my stylist, who I believe is the proprietor, was very lovely and didn't once show any kind of impatience with me..she was great!

I recently took my 3 year old daughter here for her first trim of her slow growing curly locks. I also had my 6 year son in tow. It was just before Christmas so the salon was very busy. We arrived just in the nick of time and were made very welcome. Although it was crowded, space was quickly made for us to get seated and Kate was attended to with professionalism and care. My son can be a little energetic at times and did wander down the salon a couple of times to be rapidly called back by me. At no time did I feel that there was any negative feedback from that by the staff. In fact the children were offered a sweet as a treat and the staff enaged with them when they could particularly Natalie the owner. Kate left feeling very happy. While I was sat there, I was able to observe the quality of the work that the team were creating for the clients of all ages. I would highly recommend and look forward to taking Kate along in future.

I have had many massages here, from deep tissue to full body. Every masseuse has been awesome and the massages left me feeling either relaxed or refreshed (depending on which style I choose) I would highly recommend.

Wow! What a lovely warm atmosphere. I saw Ana who was very calm and clearly passionate about her work. The staff put my mind at ease and the facial run down was easy to understand. I've had facials in the past, but this was by far the nicest facial I've experienced. The soothing facial massage was so lovely and my skin feels fabulous. I'd recommend this treatment to anyone. I'm a big fan of dermalogica, so using these products was always a win for me. I can't wait to go back. Thank you

Fantastic clinic. Everyone here is very friendly and knowledgeable with treatments. I had the charcoal laser facial and it’s been the best thing ever for my skin. The venue over a wide range of beauty treatments for all and so far, I’m massively impressed. There’s also free parking too and a fridge full of complimentary drinks to pick!

Very lovely and relaxed environment. I’m quite fussy with my nails so it was great to have a therapist who really understood how I wanted my nails and did exactly as she promised. I went for BIAB as my nails are looking thin and weak and she also added a French gel finish. I absolutely love my nails and already looking forward to my next appointment in two weeks time.

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

My third visit to Deva’s. Relaxing and attractive setting. The proprietor is friendly and welcoming and most importantly a very skilled hairdresser. Reasonable prices. You get what you pay for and highly recommend them

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 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

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.

Jayda is an exceptional beauty therapist with a very sharp eye for detail. She is warm and inviting and will make you feel relaxed, comfortable and at ease with all her treatments. I highly recommend Earth & Beauty for all things Beauty. Thank-you Jayda

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!😁

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 always receive the best treatment from Jayda and wouldn’t go anywhere else for my eyebrows. Jayda is so talented and skilled, I highly recommend her for your beauty and aesthetics needs!

The result is great as always, you listened and adjusted the cut to help me style hair easier, admittedly my skills are poor so this is gold. Great chat too! Really appreciate your expertise and time. Thank you so much Amie. ❤️

Amie is just amazing. Perfect extension refits and cut and understands my colour concerns and found the perfect solution. Lovely chats, time always goes so quickly. I love that the whole team are involved with every client to give the best and most efficient service. Thank you!

If life is wearing you down and you don’t believe in magic anymore, then I implore you to visit Redlime Salon! They consistently use their powers and amazing products to turn you from a gorgeous princess into a stunning queen! You will leave the salon feeling like the goddess you truly are! Billy is an absolute wizard at extensions and is so knowledgeable and talented at his craft, you will know that your search for a highly skilled hair salon has been completed! He will advise and guide you, answer all of your questions and help you to feel safe and confident in the decisions you will make together. Trust his vision, as he can see things that us mere mortals cannot, and I would never have dreamt that the colours we picked out would come together to create a mane worthy of a Disney main character! I wasn’t feeling confident in myself when I entered the salon, I have gained weight and can feel every pound so I’ve been hiding underneath my coat. After Billy created his art work with my hair, I waltzed down the high street feeling even better than I did at my slimmest! I forgot what it’s like to feel beautiful and the Redlime team gave that feeling back to me! Initially, I wasn’t sure about tape extensions, but they were fitted so quickly compared to nanos and the quality of the hair is top tier. They are also easy to sleep in and feel so weightless despite giving such a full look. What is also brilliant about the salon is that they truly work as a team and you can see everyone steps in to help when they can- whether that’s Katelyn putting the tape on the extensions (and giving amazing head massages) Lisa and Amie removing old extensions or Evie perfecting your roots, you could not be in more safe and friendly hands! It’s very rare that you find a place where everyone is talented and lovely- Redlime is that gem that you’re looking for, you will not look back! So if you’re in need of a change or just want to feel inspired about your looks again, no matter your age, look no further that Redlime. They will not only look after you, but they will leave you feeling like you can accomplish whatever you set your mind to, which is priceless! In just a few hours you can’t lose weight, change the job you don’t like or get a new house, but your hair is totally in your control. It might just give you the boost you need to feel confident enough to make all those other changes you’ve been thinking about. That can only be a positive step forward, so trust yourself, trust Redlime and step into your new self care arc!

Warm and friendly and listened to what I wanted. Really relaxing experience and a great price too!! Thank you for making me feel human again!
