The Best Beauty Salons And Hairdressers in Firswood, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

Visiting from abroad, I couldn't find many salons in central Manchester that just offered a blow dry – this one did. I was able to book at very short notice. The vibe inside was upbeat and friendly and I really liked how the kind and knowledgeable Lleyton washed and styled my hair.

First appointment back today after a couple of years away!....Wow!!! 😮 four compliments in two hours of your hair looks really nice! Yes!!! Yes it does! lol I now have a gorgeous full head of blonde highlights my hair is shiny, healthy!! 😌🙌 Angela, Reuben and Karl are just fabulous people and Reubenwoodhair is the most friendly welcoming professional salon 100% i would recommend!!! xx

I visited Reuben Wood for the first time after reading all the positive reviews. Lleyton did my hair, I requested more volume and face framing. He was really helpful and informative around hair loss and the reasons why this can happen. I am so happy with my haircut, it is honestly the best face framing I have ever had, exactly what I was looking for. His hair washing and head massage was super gentle and relaxing too. Lleyton has a genuine talent and made me feel at ease and comfortable. Thank you Lleyton.

My friend recommended this salon, saying it was the best she’d found in Manchester, and I couldn’t agree more! I had a keratin blow dry done by Sue and Mercede, who were both incredibly professional and attentive. The difference in my hair is amazing – it’s never looked better! Would highly recommend!

Had a pedicure at Vera Beauty this week - it was amazing. Really gorgeous and relaxing experience with spa foot bath and massage chair, then the owner removed all my hard skin (which took ages and she wouldn’t take any extra money for the treatment being longer!) and then a perfect red gel polish for my holidays. Very happy and will definitely be back. Thanks so much, I felt very welcome and looked after, it was very kind of you to spend the extra time getting my feet perfect (which has never happened before!) Would highly recommend supporting this ace local Chorlton business!

Had the best experience here. Vera went above and beyond for me and did my gel chrome glazed nails exactly how I wanted and my pedicure was so lovely. She put so much time and care into everything and we had the best chat. I will definitely be back. Vera deserves all the success and is so motivational. I would definitely recommend this salon without a doubt.

Veronica has done an excellent job transforming my broken awful nails. She is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Overall a relaxing and enjoyable experience. A great local salon, I will return.

Vera does the most amazing manicure gels and such a luxury pedicure- such good value for money and best in the local area for sure.

First time at this salon today - went in with high hopes and wasn't disappointed. Booked a session with Dominik and he was lovely. Great chat, professional, knowledgeable and did his work with integrity. He did a fantastic job and I would definitely recommend this salon/his work. Thank you🫶

I had the pleasure of meeting Natasha today!First time walking into a hair salon in a while ! I’m usually super anxious and find the experience can be overwhelming sometimes. However going in with no expectations and walking out feeling like I’ve got my spark back has change my whole outlook. All thanks to a beautiful team at James Roberts. It was lovely to have Natasha be excited for your hair journey, make your hair look like a dream and also have a laugh with! It was a gorgeous experience inside and out! Couldn’t recommend enough ! Thank you so much :)

Speechless really. 5 star is not a enough to rate this place. I rarely do a review but since i phoned to take an appointment i felt i should go directly to review this place as endless stars. Razia is so caring, i missed my way and was late for appointment. She sent me one of her team to pick me up. She welcomed me and directly started my straightening treatment. She is an expert, she knows what she is doing. She told me i can see that you had keratin about 4 months back which is so true. . She gave me all instructions needed and the results were even more than i have expected. I had the treatment before in different country and i can assure she is a professional in her job.This lady should be celebrated. I will definitely go back there. Well done all the team you are amazing

I had my hair permanently straightened on 6th December and I'm really happy with the result. It looks sleek, shiny and is easily manageable now. Razia and her team did a fantastic job. Highly recommended.

I got the Japanese Hair Straightening treatment and the results were insane! I have naturally curly afro hair and the picture taken was 72 hours after the treatment having not touched it at all, I couldn't be happier! All the ladies were really nice and made you feel welcome would definitely recommend this salon🤩 thank you I will be back again for my retouch!

I had an excellent experience at Bonton hair salon by Razia and her team with the japanese permanent hair straightening I had. My hair has always been curly and very thick and this treatment has made my hair straight and smooth, excellent results were achieved which I was amazed of how straight it is now. Razia and her team are very professional, friendly, really worthy of having this treatment at her salon. Thank you ladies x

Had the best manicure and pedicure with Ruth and Deval! They were so lovely and made the whole experience super relaxing. My nails look amazing—such great attention to detail and a perfect finish. The vibe was great, and I felt really well taken care of. Would definitely come again and highly recommend! ❤️✨

I booked in for a last minute appointment with Cheri and went for a cat eye BIAB. Cheri was lovely and attentive, and did an amazing job! She checked in with me throughout the appointment to make sure I was happy with everything including shape, length and colour. I’ll definitely be back.

I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair!!! Fatima is best at what she does 😍 I’ve been going to fatima since years and have never been disappointed. From the minute you walk in until the end the service you get is amazing! Lovey staff and amazing work. And the salon is so beautiful as well! You also have a cute cafe in there for any coffee lovers! ❤️

I have wanted to donate my hair so ages and although Izzy has never cut my hair before, I had so much confidence in her as she made me feel so comfortable. Such a big change but I absolutely love it 🤍 thank you so much!! Thank you Ruth, for my lovely nails as always!!

Lovely salon. I'd been looking for a salon specialising in short, curly hair post chemotherapy. Victoria always asks how I am managing my hairstyle and explains how she is going to cut it before proceeding with the haircut. She then shows how to style it at the end. The stylists here wash your hair, colour it and cut it so you have 1 person looking after you from start to finish. The mints with the coffee are also lovely! This place has been a great find! 08/09 Another precision cut again today. Such beautiful shaping - I particularly love the back. Thank you Victoria! 15/02 I am still thrilled with my hair. I decided to go curly just before Christmas and Victoria listened to my requirements and did a fabulous job yet again. I am really looking forward to my next visit to the salon. Thank you Victoria 04/02/25 Jo is now styling my hair as Victoria is currently taking a gap year. He has cut my hair a couple of times and I have been very pleased with the results. Jo is really personable and easy to chat to. He always checks that I'm happy with the cut and whether there is anything I'd like him to tweak. I decided to have a bit of a restyle at my last visit and I am thrilled with the cut - I have also received many compliments. Thanks Jo

I had the wonderful Megan cut my hair today and she was an absolute joy. Salon was lovely too. Definitely coming back here and have full confidence that they will always do an amazing job. Thanks Megan! Xxx

I'm just back from Melissa Timperley. Read my review here. My visit to the salon is always such a lovely experience. The staff are all lovely and the atmosphere is so relaxing. My last two visits I had my hair cut and coloured by Hamish… an absolute genius with the scissors! I have never seen anyone cut a fringe like he does. I always leave the salon loving my cut and colour when Hamish has done it. He fully takes the time to listen to exactly what i want and takes it step by step to keep checking that im happy with the progress. I really appreciate that he spends time with my fringe to get it just right as not many people have done it exactly how i want it…. extremely talented Stylist! Julee

Thank you so much for my wash and cut yesterday. The stylist was amazing. Very informative and had great communication skills. I love my new fringe.

I really enjoyed my appointment with Amy today, she was very helpful, generally really lovely and made sure I was getting exactly what I wanted out of my appointment. I thought the price was fair and was really happy with the service I received, and my hair looks great! Amy also makes an excellent cup of tea :) Thank you, I will definitely be coming back!

11/10 haircut by Fadi. I grew my hair out for 6 months and searched online across Manchester for someone to give me my first cut as a change of hairstyle. I wanted a taper fade with middle parting and he absolutely smashed it. Drove 20 mins and will be going back again.

Originally found this place when I was looking for someone open on a Sunday to fix up a previous barbers disaster. Great price, great conversation and have been coming back ever since. I have very thick hair that grows in a difficult pattern for some barbers/hairdressers so I usually have to shop around for a barber. Completely trust Fadi with my hair.

I live locally so decided to give Crown a try. I now take my sons and myself to see Fadi regularly. He is very friendly, great with the kids, reasonably priced and always does a great job.

I have been coming to these guys for years now, when Eddie was originally running the place!! Each time I go, the experience is better each time for me. It’s now run by Benni and he is one the nicest men you will ever meet. He is so welcoming, friendly and polite - he takes the time to meet and get to know all of his customers. The team he has here are amazing. I only ever come here to get my beard / stubble done and would not go anywhere else. They know exactly what I need doing and I have always left each appointment happy and satisfied. The video I’m posting is a facial / pamper session that I’ve been wanting to get done for a while but could never find somewhere I was happy with. And today - it’s been offered at Eddies (aka Crown Hair). Give it a try - the guy who does it is brilliant and knows his stuff. :) Thanks Benni and team.

I had made a group booking for myself, bridesmaids, mum and grandma to have a wash & blowdry before my wedding. Seamus and his team took such wonderful care of us, teas, coffees and glasses of fizz. Each stylist did a brilliant job at giving everyone what they wanted. It was such an enjoyable experience and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks so much to you all.

Absolutely loved my curly haircut today, it was my first dry cut and the stylist really listened and made sure I was happy before she washed and styled it (thank you for taking so much time to separate my curls and dry them so beautifully!). The most welcoming salon I’ve been to in Manchester, I will definitely be back ☺️

I have left the salon a new and much improved version of myself .. my curls are back and my colour is perfect!:) thanks so much for the complete restyle, for taking the time and interest to listen, evaluate and carefully plan the colour, the cut and the treatments. And for the lessons in how to take care of it at home. I absolutely LOVE it!:)

I visited McCrory Hair for the first time in January and it was brilliant! Seamus was so knowledgable and really took the time to listen to me and teach me how to look after my curly hair and gave me advice on improving its condition. He did a fab cut and I was really pleased with it! I’ll definitely be back!

Builder gel 3.5 weeks strong! Lovely customer service and they fit me in last minute which was great will be back for an infill asap. Thank you ladies ☺️

Wonderful experience, staff were very welcoming and the atmosphere was great. Truly take pride in their work, which was also amazing. Would deffo recommend their massages. I had one done and it was very relaxing

Thank you so much for fitting me in last minute today! I had my first manicure and pedicure here just before my wedding and cannot wait to be back. Very professional, attentive and friendly!

“I had a wonderful experience ! Ms. Taraneh was very professional and detail-oriented, and the result was absolutely amazing. I definitely recommend her and will be coming back again!”
