The Best Beauty Salons And Hairdressers in Dorking, Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

Darren James Bye is highly recommended! Darren has been cutting my hair for years... trusted 100%. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. I'm always happy with the quality of the cut and style. The salon is very nice with friendly and professional service from all of the staff, very flexible and accommodating with appointment timings. Fantastic!

I travel from Kent every 6 weeks to get my hair done by Darren in Surrey as he is by far the best colour technician and hairdresser in the UK. I can't praise him enough, he listens and performs miracles with my hair for the past two years. You saved my hair and I just love talking to you. You are BEST!

Darren has been cutting my hair for a while now since my wife recommended him to me. He always does a fantastic job, way better than my previous hairdressers. Thoroughly recommended.

Darren styled my hair yesterday for a wedding. He listened to what I wanted and took into account what I would be wearing, what suited me and what my hair was like to create a beautiful up-do. I was really happy with the result. It stayed in pace beautifully despite an evening of dancing! Darren made me feel very welcome and pampered. A great experience. Thank you, Darren.

Would highly recommend. Lovely friendly chilled relaxed atmosphere, just like being at a friends house. I had my hair bleached then dyed a funky colour as well as cut. I absolutely love my new look. Although the first time around my hair didn’t take the colour very well. I went back the following week to have the colour re-applied. Thankfully it has taken now. Now I’m in love with my hair! Thank you so much ladies!! Fantastic service!! The photo with only one curl is the finished result. The others were after the first application which resulted in patchiness.

I’ve had the best experience with Abi at the salon@no9 She has gone above and beyond to help me and do what I’d thought never was able to achieve hair wise with my hair, but she smashed it! I’ve been so happy with every hair experience I’ve had with her, I thank her for making me feel amazing, as my hair is my world! So thank you Abi! You are amazing! Don’t worry about these bad reviews all you clients know your amazing 🥰 we love you and thank you for achieving our hair goals ! Never would I trust anyone with my hair

I am absolutely delighted with my experience with no9 salon. The staff are pleasant with a wonderful atmosphere. I had my eyelash extensions done due to struggling in the morning with health problems so I can just up and leave without a make-up routine and look more cheerful in appearance. The technician who applied my extensions is extremely thoughtful, I was asked which style I would like, asked me what music I would like, spent a good amount of time, was gentle and very talented, I am very happy with the final look. I have been to a different salon in town where swear music was put on without asking me if this was ok and the final look was disastrous. I strongly recommend this technician and am looking forward to trying the hair salon. Thank you Llana 😊

I have been coming to this salon for years, I trust Abbie and willow over anyone with my hair and every time have a wonderful experience. Willow is an excellent stylist who always goes above and beyond to make sure the outcome of my hair is exactly like the reference photo. Both girls always have the friendliest welcome and always offer beverages to keep everyone comfortable during there appointments!

Julia’s salon is a haven of calm. She is thoroughly professional and really easy to chat to. I’ve been really happy with each of the services that I have had there.

I was recommended Julia by a friend and it was the best recommend I have had. Julia now regularly does my nails and brows and I am always getting compliments about how lovely my nails are. She always knows exactly what colours suit my skin tone. My brows make me feel so good when I've had them done. She is such a friendly, happy and considerate person. I cannot say enough good things about her. I always look forward to my appointments.

Julia is fabulous, very professional and her salon has a lovely nice calming feel. Julia is also very accommodating at fitting me in at the drop of a hat as Im always very last minute.com with my appointment requests. :)

I have recently just started going to Julia. She kindly squeezed me in as a last minute appointment and I couldn’t have found a better lady to go to. She is so friendly, welcoming and makes you feel relaxed. I have had endless amounts of compliments about my brows, which ultimately is all you could ask for. I would recommend Julia to anybody looking for the perfect brows. 🌟

Really friendly service and provided a lot of helpful advice. It was a little frustrating having to wait outside due to staff shortages but these things happen and at least it wasn’t raining.

I saw Karwen for a re-piercing of my left ear. She took great trouble beforehand to let me know all the aftercare needed (I'm sure I didn't receive as good advice on my first piercing twelve years ago at another clinic). I was given a good choice of earrings, and shown how to remove the backs after the first six weeks, and how the backs need to click in to keep the earrings secure. All the earrings are a high standard, and may be kept for life. The nicest thing was that the piercing was painless, which again wasn't the case with my first pair. I wholeheartedly recommend Beautique for piercings, and the standard of care is excellent.

My daughter had a very good experience, she is very pleased with her newly pierced ears. Received very good information on the importance of aftercare too. Thank you.

Karwen did a great job of quickly and efficiently removing 2 skin tags for me. She is very knowledgeable and gave great advice for aftercare and ongoing care.

Millie did such a fabulous job on my highlights. My previous hairdresser had unfortunately changed to another industry so I was very nervous to go to someone new (hence my extra long regrowth). I am so glad Sebastian’s was well recommended and Mille is fabulous! Thank you so much!!

My husband booked my hair up as a surprise Christmas present .. had to cancel coz I was unwell over Christmas .. not a problem at all .. eventually booked it up again just after the New year with Millie .. Now I'm a person who hardly gets my hair done .. I said what I wanted .. Millie gave me her advise and off she went to mix my colour .. I enjoyed her company and my hair looked lovely! I will be back! Thanks Millie x

"I recently visited Sebastians Hair, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by the staff, which made me feel right at home. Zoe took the time to listen to what I wanted and offered great advice on what would suit my hair type. Fabulous!

I had a wonderful treatment at Mayflower. 80 minutes of massage and a facial. Danielle was lovely and the treatment was absolutely perfect. Very relaxing, lovely calm atmosphere and dreamy products. Highly recommend! Thank you :)

Vicky was absolutely brilliant as she had the right pressure for me and really dealt with the knots in my shoulders and tightness in my back and made me feel so relaxed. I would definitely recommend her and Mayflower spa and beauty.

I organised a girl's weekend in Dorking and wanted to have a pamper so we found Mayflower Spa and they could not have been any more helpful. Vicky helped organise the day and as we were 7 people we were able to have the whole place to ourselves. We loved the top floor lounge and the team sorted us out with glasses for the champagne we had brought. (They had offered to organise this for us as well.) Everyone enjoyed their treatments, I think the Mayflower Massage came out top! Very professional and friendly at the same time. And the spa is a lovely space.

Thank you Scarlett for my manicure this morning. I'm thrilled with the result. Great hand massage and love the colour. Really nice experience . Will be back again

My 6 year old ASD son has never let anyone near his hair, except me and we've tried countless places countless times. However, Kaz immediately made him feel at ease and in control. My son didn't shed a single tear (I even caught a few glimpses of him smiling while having his hair cut, something I never thought was possible). The owner was also very personable - will definitely be returningd. Good vibes and a cut above the rest, quite literally.

Really great service. The staff are really friendly and helped salvage my sons bad haircut. Will definitely come back again.

Great experience as always - not just a good and well priced haircut but a good dose of banter!

A fine quality hair length reduction parlour, with excellent discussion on offer. Established in 1971. Cash or card payment, so we know they pay their tax! A few parking spaces on offer too.

Managed to get a much needed appointment with Seth as was desperate for some of his magic before Christmas and I wasn’t disappointed. Always a great cut in a very pleasant and friendly atmosphere. I only discovered Toni & Guy this year but they are definitely now my go to Salon 💇‍♀️

I arrived early for my appointment and the receptionist arranged for me to have an earlier appointment with an alternative stylist. Imi did a great job as it was my first time at your Dorking salon and she gave me a great experience and a fantastic haircut, I was very pleased. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful.

I haven’t had my hair cut in so long and was completely unsure about what I wanted but Imi took me through so many options and I am SO happy with the end result. She and Emma and everyone who worked there made it such a lovely and friendly experience as always and I’m so happy with my new hair, thank you very very much. A really good latte and head massage too thank you :)

I came in today with the haircut from hell and Emily fixed me up perfectly! Such a lovely hairdresser! Amazing customer service and I’ve left with the haircut I wanted to begin with you would never have known what I came in with! Amazing service! Will be going back to her again!

I went to Santrillo for haircut and blow-dry. I've never been to this salon before but after my first visit I am sure I will be back. Ann and her colleague are super-friendly, bubbly, made me feel welcome and at ease. Ann is a great listener as well as talker and she knows her trade. She cut my hair exactly the way I wanted. I'm over the moon with my hairdo. I would recommend it to everyone.

Had my first cut and blow dry with Santrillo today and I think I’ve finally found my favourite hairdresser in Dorking. I’m loving my new hair cut and such a friendly salon. Thank you

Santrillo - Slightly off the Dorking High Street, but worth seeking out, just behind The Dorking Butchery. Highly recommended for post lockdown hair styling. Polly and Annie are very welcoming and great fun. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed

Always a warm welcome. Ann is friendly, very flexible and happy to accommodate. Had a few appointments now for colour and cut, and always happy with the results.

I always feel (cheesy I know!) like a new person after my full head of blonde highlights and bob cut! Tish does an amazing job, the whole team are super friendly, the music is chilled, decor and product lovely. Emma also cut our under 2s hair and was fab! Patient and calm with him. Love that you get a loyalty card too- they really look after you!

Another excellent full head colour and cut by Tish, amidst a lovely, friendly atmosphere. Tish always listens to your preferences and provides a fabulous service.

Letitia the owner is just so lovely. After lots of failed attempts to get my hair colour corrected Letitia listened intently to how I wanted my colour to be and I was not disappointed. I have finally now got the colour I wanted and I’m very happy with the results. The place is so warm and inviting and all staff very friendly. I look forward to returning. I highly recommend Palms.

After having my daughter 13 months ago I’ve struggled with what to do to my hair and how to keep it manageable. Emma was absolutely incredible and helped me come up with a plan. Wow did she excel with it! It looks so lovely in every light and I feel like myself again. I can’t wait to come back for a freshen up after my holiday. Couldn’t recommend enough xx
