About us

Mike opened Boss Hair studio in 1983 with Sharon. We started as a team of 4 players with lots of enthusiasm to raise the professional and creative standards of hairdressing in The Furness Area.
Our aim is to give a better service in our salon, to help and advise our clients so they learn the right way to looking good every day. We strive to set the standard in service and quality.

We moved to our fabulous new premises at 90 Duke Street in the Spring of 2006. We extended the number of chairs and improved the facilities for the benefit of our clients and ourselves. This also included the beginning of our luxurious Beauty Therapy and Treatment Rooms. These offer advice and treatments in Dermalogica Skin Care, Body Care, St. Tropez Spray Tans, Biosculpture Gel Nails and more. We also extended our shop for home use Hair Care, Styling Tools, Equipment and Dermalogica Skin Care. Altogether a great place to work and meet our clients!

We now have a team of 10 Hairdressers, 3 Therapists, including Patricia, Mike’s wife. We put a great deal of emphasis on training and customer care, ensuring that our clients get the best service and results from our Salon. The Beauty and Skin Centre are lead by Patricia. She has created a great working relationship with Dermalogica Skin Care Products providing great treatments and home care skin systems that really work and care for your skin.

Claire is responsible for, and leads, the very high standard of colouring services in the salon. Achieving success in The Wella Master Colour award Specialist Program, which is the industry leader in professional hair colour. Now our clients benefit from superior levels of technical colour expertise, personal hair colour consultations and creativity.

I don't get many treats but my visits to Boss are always a pleasure. The staff are all so friendly and if I am lucky enough to get Micheal he doesn't settle for just my hair even the eye brows get a trim but Steph is my usual and I always leave with a smile on my face. Great with my children too and worth every penny.

Teenage boys' haircuts by Tony

A fairly big ask from my 2 sons....one who hadn't had a haircut in almost 2 years...the other who usually insists on monthly Manchester trips for his haircuts. Tony created 2 very different styles and both were spot on....exactly what they wanted and they look great. He really went out of his way to discuss the cuts in detail, give advice and make the boys feel at home. Salon staff were all very friendly and, as mum just waiting, I too was really well looked after. Both boys plan to return....praise indeed !
