The Best Beauty Salons And Hairdressers in Portsmouth, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Nina was lovely and welcoming. Her service is exceptional! Her place of work is beautiful and clean. Cannot fault Nina and her business. Will defiantly be returning for my future treatments!

Nina has been looking after me for almost a year now. She is always polite, friendly & professional. I am very happy with her service & will continue to use her waxing services for the unforeseeable future.

This was my second time getting waxed by Nina and both times she has made me feel comfortable and at ease. Nina is very skilled, knowledgeable and professional. I am super pleased with the results and will definitely be back. Recommend to everyone 💗

The most beautiful aesthetic ever. Although I’ve been waxing for years, this was my first time somewhere new, due to relocating and I felt so comfortable. Nina is so lovely and kind, she’s really funny too.

First time at Cesare Hairdressers and I felt immediately comfortable with how Rachel and the team made me welcome . My hair ( needed some TLC) Rachel talked me through what can be done and she delivered what she said. I will go back when my hair needs re treating. So happy I trusted My search results . Great people . Very friendly, open and honest ideas . Lovely 😍 Geri

Went as a couple hairstyling to prepare for an event. Both very happy with he professional quality of Cesare and after this I won't be using any more barbers, because stylists are so much more attentive. Will definitely be back in the future.

One of the best hairdresser's salon in town. I'm very impressed with such as lovely lady as Louise who made my experience at their salon one of best and actually she made my day 🥰 .....and obviously my hair are better than I'd even expect. Very nice atmosphere and amazing staff who can make you feel comfortable and welcome. I'd really recommend this place. I'm gonna keep coming back definitely 🤩

Cannot thank Louise enough! The most amazing balayage with the exact colours I asked for, thank you so much!!! Beth

Just want to say a huge thank-you to everyone involved at Hair @ the terrace. You really have saved the day by squeezing in my daughter’s hair today with a super shout out to the wonder that is Ben. Brilliant at his job, beautiful in his manner & just one of life’s true wonders. Thank you so much. A very happy Scott. XXX

Ruby never fails to make my hair look amazing. Five stars given as my husband and son said my hair looks amazing after my visit today. Love my visits to the salon as always so much laughter. Thank you for being the best hairdressing salon. X

This is without doubt the best hair salon in Portsmouth & Southsea. I always look and feel fantastic when I leave. The staff are brilliant, especially Ben who is quite simply the best hairdresser in the country!

Amazing place glad I found it.. the staff are awesome! 5 star!! Hair wash is incredible and they tackle my hair brilliantly. I come out feeling like a new woman every week xx thank you 😊 🙏 😘

I've been going to The Beauty Retreat for several years now and couldn't recommend it more. Over the past few years, I've been seeing Emily for my treatments. I've tried a variety of their services, and each one has been carried out to the highest standard. Emily and the entire team are always so welcoming and accommodating, creating a lovely atmosphere every time I visit. If you're considering trying The Beauty Retreat, I'd absolutely recommend giving them a go!

Donna isn't just great—she's exceptional. My monthly facial treatments have become the highlight of my calendar, something I genuinely look forward to each month. Under her skilled care, my skin has transformed completely, reaching a level of health and radiance I hadn't thought possible. Each session leaves me with a luminous complexion, a profoundly relaxed mind, and personalized skincare wisdom that has revolutionized my daily routine. If you're seeking not just a facial but a true skin-transforming experience, Donna's expertise is simply unmatched.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This was my first time to The Beauty Retreat and it was fantastic from start to finish. I had a wax with Donna and she was absolutely brilliant. She put me at ease immediately and made me feel so welcome & comfortable. This was the best wax experience I’ve ever had and Donna took the time to explain everything clearly and answer any questions I had. I was slightly nervous about trying a new salon but I definitely didn’t need to be, I had a great experience and would highly recommend. Thank you Donna!! I’ll be back! :)

I just had the most painless Hollywood wax done by Donna. The atmosphere at the salon is amazing, very clean as well. Donna made sure to explain everything to me before the treatment, which I think it’s very important. She handled everything with professionalism and was lovely chatting with her. I definitely recommend booking with Donna if you are looking for a quick and painless waxing treatment. I will definitely be back at the Beauty Retreat!

I’ve never been happy with a haircut for my curly hair until finding Dora. She nails a curly cut, genuinely knows what she’s doing with curly hair. Priceless.

I’ve been a regular client of Dora for some time now, and she never disappoints! Not only does she consistently deliver exceptional results on my hair, but she also works wonders on my daughter’s hair. Most recently, Dora gave me a full head of highlights, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results. The color is stunning and my hair looks healthy and vibrant. The before and after transformation is remarkable. Her attention to detail and skill always make each visit a pleasure. Thank you, Dora, for your fantastic work—highly recommended!

Dora has completed a Brazilian blowdry (Keratin Smoothing Treatment) on my hair today and I am amazed!! My hair was becoming impossible to maintain and after exhausting all options, I finally booked in and I’m so glad I did! Dora’s knowledge and expertise is amazing and incredible at knowing the best ways to look after and manage your hair. If you have frizzy and hair that is unmanageable, 100% recommend going to Dora for this incredible treatment. Thank you so much x

I think the photos speak for themselves as to how Dora has amazingly transformed my hair with a Keratin treatment. I’m so pleased with the results, my hair feels fantastic! A 5 star salon with staff to match. I have been a client at Be My Guest salon for many years and I would always highly recommend them! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Georgina & the ‘TEAM’ are incredibly professional, polite , caring & considerate when doing any treatments on myself. They so deserve the 🏳️‍⚧️’Trans Friendly’ & ‘Safe Space’ accolades without doubt. Highly recommend eye lash extensions , pamper makeovers for that special occasion ( or just to feel feminine , lush & special ) 100/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND this salon. Pop in & why don’t you say Dee ( sent / recommended U )

I had two girls do the make up for our wedding day one of them was Annabel, they was amazing. Myself and my bridal party make up was perfect and it stayed on all night. The girls looked very professional, they arrived promptly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and will mostly certainly use them in the future. Thanks girls!

We had a wonderful team from Georgina Chambers Studio visit us at The Queens Hotel to complete our bridal party make up. We were so pleased and all looked absolutely beautiful. You are fantastic Thank you so much for helping us feel a million dollars on such a special day xxx

Absolutely love getting my nails and lashes done by Sophie, such good service and always have a laugh, she makes you feel so comfortable to the point I fall asleep getting my lashes done, she is amazing and the end result never fails, won't go to anyone else, thank you so much 😊

What a wonderful first time experience at Jazz Rawlins. Ellie’s great experience put me totally at ease to deal with my tricky blonde tape extensions. She was a joy to meet & really knows her stuff. What a lovely hairdresser, I will definitely be back!!!

I rarely write reviews, but I think this hair salon should receive recognition it deserves. First, Jazz was amazing with trying to help me after I was not satisfied with my hair dye in other salon. She was able to organise the appointment urgently to fix my hair. Also, I would like to thank hairdresser Jess, who did my highlights - she was very friendly, focused on job and very gentle. I am very happy with my highlights and service. If I ever come back to Portsmouth and would need to re-do my hair, I would definitely come back here. Thank you

Can’t recommend this salon enough! It’s really relaxing and chilled, the staff are all lovely and make you feel so welcome. Dolce did my hair and she was amazing and did such an amazing job, so so happy with the outcome especially because I was so nervous about a big colour change but it’s lush. Can’t wait to go back x

Great service , great location , great shop & great team , Have had hair & nails done , could not be happier. Jazz & her team are amazing , best hair & beauty in Portsmouth & very easy parking. Not your usual salon , 5* in every aspect , if you want superior service & customer care this is for you

Would not get my nails done anywhere else. Mae and Ruby are both incredible at what they do. Such a happy, safe and welcoming environment. Alongside the amazing nails, Mae does so much for the local community from fundraising and stocking small local businesses products. Just amazing, lovely and genuine people xx

I have been getting my nails done (biab gel) by Mae since November and I absolutely love getting my nails done at Baker Miller studio. Not only is her artwork absolutely insane, but the atmosphere Mae creates in the studio is wonderful. She provides such a warm and inviting space, and the energy Mae and Ruby create genuinely picks up my mood when I go to see them. And not only this, Baker Miller studio promotes a respectful and inclusive space which I think is great. I always get so many compliments on my nails and never leave disappointed.

I have been going to Mae at Baker Miller for BIAB since November 2021 and have been every month since. From my first appointment til now, Mae has been so welcoming and kind and I feel very lucky to now call her my friend. Every single set of nails I have walked away with I have adored, Mae is such a perfectionist and I have made so many of my friends go to Mae and they’ve all converted too! My nails always last so long and I haven’t had any chips or issues with them compared to nails I used to get from previous places. Also the salon is GORGEOUS and such a great, fun atmosphere. Always will be my top recommendation for nails in and around Portsmouth! ✨💗🥰

Been getting my nails done here since September and they always turn out so amazing. Ruby's fantastic. Ontop of that the atmosphere is incredibly friendly and I always look forward to coming in to chat with everyone. Got my piercings done here by meg who I highly recommend.

Had a short pixie cut with Emma today, a cut that has to be done well to look great. Emma's a very talented stylist. Would not hesitate to recommend.

My 1st visit following The Hair Studio’s salon move. As ever a warm welcome, always listened to, a great hair experience and I remain a very happy client. I wish you ongoing success and would recommend without hesitation. Thank you Karen and the salon looks wonderful Emma.

Great team at Hair studio. Lovely new salon would highly recommend!

Thank you to lovely owner Emma for fitting me in for a wash, cut & bouncy blow dry last minute on a Friday afternoon. She even curled it for me which was very sweet. I was in the area visiting family and chose her salon on a whim and am very glad I did! Emma was so lovely and welcoming, and my hair feels SO much healthier, bouncier and beautiful! I’m very happy with the result and will return!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing experience I recently visited Pooja’s Beauty Salon for eyebrow threading, hair straightening, and a facial, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Pooja is highly skilled, professional, and pays great attention to detail. My eyebrows are perfectly shaped, my hair feels silky smooth, and the facial left my skin glowing. The salon is clean, comfortable, and has a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend Pooja’s services to anyone looking for top-notch beauty treatments. Will definitely be coming back.

Pooja’s Hair & beauty is an absolute gem! My girlfriend got a full makeover—she did hair color, headspa haircut and makeup—and the results were beyond stunning! Her hair is silky soft, the color is flawless, and the makeup? Simply perfection! She walked out looking like a queen. Huge thanks to Pooja for her incredible work. Highly recommended! Thank you pooja you are amazing👏

A big thank you to Pooja ji for doing an absolutely wonderful Job with my already broken eye brows and Hair. I am from Bristol and Found this GEM of a place in a middle of search for Eye brow threading. Hair cut was not my plan but after seeing Pooja cutting a hair for a kid. I am intrigued and got my hair styling done by her. What a Fantastic job she did and the positive vibes made not only myself but my soul also is happy now. I never imagined that I would find a perfect hairstylist today!! The passion she has for beauty is immense. Wishing that she opens a branch in Bristol soon. Thank you Pooja.. All the very best for your future endeavors.

I did my baby shower makeup @Pooja's hair & beauty. I m so happy with my makeup and i did my long hair hairstyle.and sooo mich happy with her and she is very good for customer service. I feel so comfortable with her she listen every thing. So happy will her. Thank you pooja
