New hair style

My usual hairdressers don’t give me what I ask for so I decided to switch. I haven’t visited Simone Thomas salon before but I went in with the intention of taking off a lot of length, a new style for me. Michelle knew exactly the type of blunt lob look I wanted and the results were spot on. Expertly cut.

Had a great cut today. I've never had long hair before or visited a salon, so was a bit nerve wracking but Leanne was great and very friendly!

Will definitely go back now, thanks!

Another great haircut at Simone Thomas. Finding a salon that can style longer hair in Bournemouth is tricky as most go straight to clippers but here they know what to do.

On the day, she was friendly and professional, as was the girl washing and toning my hair . I love the colour and cut.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michelle, and will definitely return.

I’ve been going to Simone Thomas for years as it’s the only wig cutting salon local to me, but my experience the last visit was a little disappointing. I turned up 5 minutes before my appointment and had to wait 25 before being seen as my hairdresser was with another client. This is fair enough, clashes happen. I was taken upstairs and not offered a drink like I usually am. I said I just wanted a trim for now as my wig had quite a few dead ends. The hairdresser cut the ends, which took all of 5 minutes and then took me back downstairs where I was charged £48. Now, I could understand if I had received excellence service, saw Simone herself or someone of her standard, but I was literally in the chair for 5 minutes. No styling. No washing. No colour, just a quick cut. I felt quite ripped off, as when I usually go I am charged around the £25 mark and my hair is styled as well.

I didn’t say anything at the time, as I wasn’t sure if there had been a significant increase in the pricing structure, but I don’t think I’ll be going back until there is fairer pricing.

I had my hair done for the first time at Simone Thomas with Sophie. She was incredible, making me feel very comfortable and well cared for (especially as it had been a while since I'd had my hair done, and it was a bit of a state!) . She consulted with me to make sure I could find a style thst suited me, and the end result was just what I'd hoped for. The salon itself is also clean, comfortable, with a relaxed vibe. All in all an excellent experience

The Salon seems to cater for ‘fun’ wigs as there were only long straight hairstyles or a couple of ‘bobs’ to try. Apparently I could order one more to my suitability but if it wasn’t right I would be required to pay £7 for it to be returned, could have been a costly process. A disappointing appointment as I had been on the website and had high expectations. Plus point there was no charge.

Sophie (R or G I’m not sure which! Apologies) was very easy to talk to, listened to what I wanted my cut to look like and during the cut frequently checked to make sure I was happy.
All the staff were very friendly, the salon is comfortable and spacious and on the day I visited it was quiet and calm.
Really happy with the cut, best it’s looked for some time.
Thanks Sophie, see you again.

My experience here was amazing. My hair has never looked blonder and it looks so healthy. Michelle did an amazing job with my hair and was so lovely the whole time. The colour and tone of my hair is perfect. After not having my hair highlighted for over 7 months, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to go as blonde as I wanted to but Michelle got me the blondest I’ve ever been. My hair looks so blended and feels so healthy. I will definitely be coming back!

Michelle quickly understood what I wanted, she very politely enhanced my ideas with her own recommendations and then explained how she would achieve the desired result.
An excellent, professional and friendly service.
