The Little Sanctuary

Gill made the whole visit an exceptional and exciting experience, an amazing eye for detail too!. Thank you so much 🤍

Hannah was brilliant, as usual, reshaped my head with a good cut and managed to get me 'done' in record time as requested....and then kindly lent me HER umbrella to go to my lunch party so that I didn't get soaked.
Wonderfully kind, skilled at her job and I'm so grateful.

My 6 weekly cut was as always excellent. The reception welcome is always lovely and Lee was bang on time in taking me through. The cut was methodical and brilliant as he takes time to discuss exactly what I thought and what I would like to- cones up with terrific tweaks to make that style specific to me.
Lovely visit as always although the weather was wet!

I had a fab facial with Elsa, I have sensitive skin and it is now glowy and holiday ready! Thanks -! will be back

Another wonderful facial with Elsa! We are beginning to prep my skin for my wedding in the summer and so far the glow is fab!! If you are looking to brighten your skin Elsa is the girl for the job!!

Thank you so much to Ruby and Gill for making my vision come true. My hair was handled with great care and I was given information throughout my consultation and my appointment. They were really friendly and made me feel very comfortable making sure I had everything I needed. Thank you! My hair looks amazing and I will be back xx

It was so lovely again to have my hair cared for by the wonderful Lois who did a fabulous colour and gorgeous blow dry - always a joy to be styled by her , so professional and very attentive caring to her clients ,

Had a great cut with Lee, good listening and cutting skills!

Always happy with my hair when I leave the salon. Friendly staff

Super easy to book and they fit me in so quickly, great experience and lovely people, thank you!

I really enjoy my visit to the Sanctuary. The surroundings are calm and relaxing. I'm really pleased with the quality of my nails and such a huge choice of colours. I will be back soon . Thank you

The best lash lift I’ve ever had, Elsa was lovely & the little sanctuary itself is refreshing & luxurious 😍

First time having Biab on my natural nails! Can’t believe how amazing they look from my first appointment can’t wait to see the growth in 3 weeks time! Elsa did such a great job I am so happy with them. So professional! Thankyou so much! Xx

Thank you so much Elsa, everything was perfect and I’m looking forward to my next appointments! Xx

A great hair cut by “Lee. He’s old school, Very attentive, creative, and pays attention to detail.
The Team and general atmosphere in the salon is caring & friendly.

Had a great time at The Sanctuary today with Gilly. Known her for over 10 years and never been disappointed. Great haircut, thank you.

I love getting my nails done with Elsa. She is fantastic at creating the most beautiful set of nails and always so nice and friendly.

I can not recommend elsa enough! I regularly go to her for eyebrow wax and tint and i would not trust anyone else with it. Elsa has got it spot on every time and can’t fault her at all! My whole experience at the salon was perfect!

Always have my treatments done by Elsa and it’s always 10/10 experience from start to finish. She perfects everything she does and she’s a good laugh at the same time. Would recommend every time

Nice friendly , great cut for a great price

Really pleased with my nails.
Elsa did a lovely job!

Thank you Liv!! You were absolutely fantastic with Aralynne, calm, patient and listened to her, recognising exactly what she needed whilst she was having her hair cut!! And you made her day with the tinsel!!! She can't wait to come back

I’ve been getting my Biab nails done by Elsa for a while now, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her more! She’s incredibly talented, especially when it comes to nail designs – I can show her a rough idea or inspo pic, and she always brings it to life (usually even better than I imagined). The attention to detail is amazing, and my nails always last so well. Plus, she’s so lovely and professional, it’s always a relaxing experience in the most beautiful salon! If you’re looking for beautiful, strong nails with flawless designs, Elsa is 100% the one to go to!

Very well looked after. Went into salon as one woman. Came out another much better.

Lovely and quality service from beginning to an end. Happy with my hair as always :)

I was so impressed with the phone call I received following my booking to get an insight into my needs. Then the service was amazing I am not used to the salon experience but felt totally relaxed Lois was brilliant so pleased with my new haircut am already planning my next visit.

Always a lovey very relaxed experience with Elsa.
She's very professional and makes u feel at ease.
Love having mine and my daughters eyebrows done Ona regular basis.
Look forward to my next appointment

Elsa was amazing fixed all my broken nails and went above and beyond with my design definitely the best in the game

The salon manager managed to squeeze me in last minute for a hair appointment for a themed event with Katie. I was aware I had been slotted in so did not want to take up too much of Katie’s time so I was happy with a simple style, Katie got to work on my very thick hair, even got excited about the event herself, putting lots of extra detail to my style. My hair looked amazing, more than I could have asked for. I had an evening full of compliments, some thought I had extensions, it really did look that good! My hair at the end of the night looked just as good as when I walked out of the salon, even after spending most of the evening on the dance floor! I was also given tips on how to manage my hair the next day after lots of back combing, it worked, no awful knots to deal with!
There is not enough stars to rate this appointment!

A beautiful salon, and very happy with my appointment with Olivia, she was friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend this salon

I have been having my haircut at the little sanctuary ever since it opened - first by Gillian at Gillingham and now Roddy in Shaftesbury. A visit to this Sanctuary is always a lovely experience. Roddy cuts my hair brilliantly and I can rely on him to give me an honest opinion :)

Lovely salon, with friendly staff. Olivia is very professional, gave good advice on products I could use and made me feel very welcome, left feeling pampered.

I had foils done by Olivia today and extensions put in for the first time and I am so very happy with them. She did a great job and was great during my consultation ahead of time. Olivia really took the time to answer all my questions and I’m so happy I decided to do it. Everyone at the salon was so friendly and I felt quite pampered the whole time I was there.

First time at this gorgeous salon in the capable hands of Olivia. Relaxed few hours with hand massage and resulting in a great hair cut and transformed colour. A much needed boost. Thanks

I have been visiting Elsa for my lashes for the past 2 years, she is always friendly, professional and provides an excellent service. It is so lovely to now visit her at The Little Sanctuary which is a beautiful setting with a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere.
Excellent results and service as always x

Lois explained each procedure easily making my son feel comfortable and settled. Lovely salon, great staff, perfect setting. Thankyou

So pleased with my nails and all the advice when choosing the colour

Lee has been brilliant cutting and shaping my curly hair. Thank you Lee!

Lois is amazing, especially with curly hair and advice with colour. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The salon is friendly and clean with a relaxing atmosphere.

I stopped in for a manicure, thinking this was largely a hair salon. Much yo my surprise this salon is large, bright and offers a full range of treatments. Elsa (I hope I have her name right) gave me a very good manicure, indeed. My one minor complaint is the small array of appealing colours in their range of gel polish.
I shall visit her again for some waxing and perhaps a facial.

After having enough of my hair being all the way down to my bum I decided to chop it all off into a bob. Lois was amazing the whole way through and I've never been happier with a hair cut, it's given me a spark back! Will definitely be going back, thank you

This was my first visit and Olivia had lots of helpful advice. We went with her recommendations and I was very happy with the result. A different look for me but I like it. I also enjoyed the salon experience many thanks

Fantastic treatment, lovely atmosphere and setting

Excellent experience, first class

Olivia did a beautiful job with my hair today - looking forward to my next visit.
Thank you 🤍

I had the best experience at the sanctuary in Shaftesbury. It’s a beautiful old building beautifully presented and has an aura of calm and well-being from the moment you walk through the door. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming. I booked a hair appointment with Maddison after a walk-in consultation and her knowledge, attention to detail and absolute passion for hair gave me so much confidence in coming back for a new look. Her approach was so considered and professional. I spent a couple of hours in the chair and had a hand massage whilst I waited with a lovely hot chocolate too. What Maddison achieved was outstanding and I can honestly say one of the best hair cuts I have ever had. She completely transformed my hair. I would without doubt recommend both Maddison and the Sanctuary in Shaftesbury if your looking for a hair or well-being treatment.

Gill is the only person who can cut my hair... that's why I have been having my hair cut by her for nearly 20 years!

Love going back every time, RODY is such a rare gem. Always greeted with such warm reception and taken such great care. Simply fabulous and unmissable. Definitely recommend.

Couldn’t recommend Elsa enough!!! Amazing work as usual and the atmosphere is superb. ☺️

First class.. clean bright and welcoming..staff pleasant and friendly.. well set out.. found whole thing relaxing..
Will definitely pop in again when next down that way.. its well worth a visit..
5 star rating.. well done to everyone..
