Nelly & Co

About us

Hatstand Nelly was created in August 2004 to offer hairdressing with a difference.

It's not just about the cut or colour, although these are delivered with the utmost professionalism. It's also about the total salon experience. Great customer care and individual style advice for individual people, creating great looking hair from brave and bold to silky and smooth.

We listen to you to give you hair that fits in with your lifestyle, is most definitely 'you' and looks great between visits - not just when you leave the salon.

Our aim is to enhance the good stuff and tame the bad stuff!

Our Juice Bar offers fresh blended smoothies, juices as well as Fairtrade coffees & teas while you're here - or just pop in if you're passing to sit in or take away.

Jeni at LiShic Beauty is also based here to help with all your beauty needs - from waxing & make-up to Dermaplaning and Epi 3D brows.

I don't write reviews but for Hatstand Nelly I have made an exception .......
I've been a Hatstand Nelly regular for many years and I just love coming here, from walking in the door till you leave the experience is absolutely amazing.
Everyone is so positive, friendly and professional and you are made to feel very special.
Louise is just fantastic with my hair (as is Lorraine, Megan, Charlotte and anyone else who I've missed) and the advise given keeps it looking great long after the salon appointment.
I can't miss out Denise who is simply the best and looks after you and all you hair needs and appointments.
Love you guys

I've been a Hatstand Nelly regular since 2005, I love the funky, friendly atmosphere, the smoothies, the array of shampoos for every type of hair and mostly the way that Lorraine is able to replicate my individuality through my hair choices, guide me so that for that few hours I feel special and my hair looks absolutely fabulous. The attitudes of all is positive, friendly and receptive, nothing is every too much. A huge thanks to Denise, Leigh, Louise, Charlotte and the rest of the team, x x x

All of the staff at Hatstandnelly are friendly and professional. From Denise welcoming you as you go in, to Megan looking after me and being honest about what my hair needs, to Abbie, Brook, etc washing my hair and getting my cappuccino. Megan is great at colour (so is Abbie). I always enjoy my visit for the relaxation time, catching up on reading, great chat and the hairstyling too.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Cheryl is a lovely and professional stylist, I had no idea what I wanted when I arrived at the salon and she managed to create the perfect hair up, checking if I was happy with it as she went. Cheryl was happy, chatty and enthusiastic throughout and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. Thank you!!

I always enjoy my appointments with Charlotte. She is always careful to talk through what I want before she starts which has not been my experience elsewhere. She’s happy to advise when I ask but I always feel listened to. I’m delighted with my colour and the cut and as I’ve told her I’ve had lots of people talk about the improvement in my hair since she’s been doing it. The salon is great all the staff are friendly and I really value the reminder messages.
