As someone at the beginning of their transition I was extremely nervous about my appointment. There really was no need though as right from the initial phone call I was put at ease.

Georgie was so lovely and professional throughout. I had an initial appointment in which she helped select a number of wigs, which were ordered in for me to try later in the week.

I ended up going for two wigs, with both having a trim which also added to the whole salon experience, something I’d never had before.

My wife came with me to the appointment and also found Georgie to be so welcoming and put her at ease too.

I can’t recommend the salon enough and in particular Georgie! Whilst I don’t live locally I wouldn’t hesitate in making a return visit when I need to in the future!

Having recently lost my hair temporarily to chemo, I am delighted with the wig choosing and fitting service provided by Vanessa. I now have great confidence to go out wearing a well fitted and comfortable wig that looks as if I have just left the salon! Hair loss is difficult but the wig I have has really helped me to feel confident and less self conscious when going out. Thank you!

Standard curly challenges

Appointment verified by Salon Control

I've never found a hairdresser who is confident in how to cut curly hair. Sophie did the best she could and did keep checking if the cut was going in the right direction, so I can't fault her for trying and actually listening rather than just plowing on. But there was a lot of discussion about how tricky / difficult curly hair is to cut. She initially suggested blow-drying it straight to see if the cut was even, which for the natural curly hair look that I was after, needing plenty unevennesses, worried me. But after discussion we concluded using a diffuser would be best.
I'll continue my search for a curly hair confident / experienced hair dresser.
Side note - not sure what the current set up with offering hot drinks, but I wasn't offered anything.
Not an completely unpleasant experience, just a bit disappointing for the price of the cut.

I’ve had the pleasure of a few different stylists in my visits to Simone Thomas, most recently Ashleigh, and every time has been a wonderful experience. As someone who suffers with trichotillomania, getting my hair cut has always been a massive source of anxiety, especially after a few uncomfortable experiences in other salons when the stylist wasn’t familiar with the condition. I can honestly say that I’ve felt so comfortable coming to Simone Thomas and there’s always been an unspoken understanding so I’ve never felt the need to explain and have just been able to enjoy my time there, instead of feeling on edge, which is so lovely. My hair has been cut beautifully each time and I will definitely be a returning customer!

I really recommend to fellow curlies! I’d been growing out my hair and it was getting heavy and falling flat at the back and roots. I was nervous to have a restyle- but I was in safe hands with Michelle! She asked questions about my usual hair routine, really listened, adding shape and layers that my curls love. My hair is happy and so am I.

She took her time and checked with me the length and thickness all the way through. She explained how to dry my style. I really enjoyed the experience and love my new look.

I only moved to Bournemouth from the Midlands two weeks ago, where I had the same hairdresser for 23 years. I was quite nervous but Sharelle immediately put me at my ease at my consultation appointment this morning. . Even better, she told me that I could achieve the colour I’d always wanted.
Can’t wait to have it done now.
The salon was very welcoming with Lisa at front of house. Very happy.

Sharelle listened to every word, I have full confidence in her and can’t wait to visit next week. Such a welcoming, friendly and professional experience. I was lucky enough to meet and have a quick chat to Kim too. Thank you ladies for creating such a warm, social and welcoming atmosphere.
