Incredibly friendly staff and lovely atmosphere within the salon. My blow dry by Dana was absolutely amazing and now I want to go back every week to have it. I had so many compliments!

Disappointing

Very expensive for a service that didn’t match the price. Dana is trying very hard to make her salon special but at times it felt like her team had no autonomy and her attention to every move they made over bearing. It was my second visit and frankly they had overbooked for Dana herself resulting in 3 of us being shuffled and not brilliantly. My hair was dried by another much less experienced stylist yet the price remained the same. I left the salon and when I felt under my hair the back underneath was still wet. I’m afraid paying £350 you expect a level of service that I didn’t receive. I was constantly asked to leave a review and haven’t but felt actually the true picture does need to be balanced and yes I could have gone back but the intentions for me were clear and obviously every business needs to make money but back it up with true service and when you know you can’t don’t charge the same price. The irony is I’ve found another beautiful salon with the same Master Colourist status - less than half the price and true trust in the team without the control.

It was my first time at the salon and I was greeted by a lovely young man upon entering the beautiful salon, he then offered me a drink as I sat down for my cut with Mary. Mary was so kind and bubbly and I had a great experience with her, she did an amazing job with my hair! I would definitely recommend and come again!

I cannot thank Caitlyn enough. I came in with a particular concern about hair loss. Caitlyn was absolutely outstanding, took the time to talk me through potential reasons behind hair loss, reassured me throughout, talked me through the best look to make me feel like my hair looked thicker, told me about ways to help stimulate hair growth. Talked me through the products and explained them in detail, even talked me through some products for my curly haired daughter. I have never felt so reassured & confident when leaving a salon. Thankyou so much Caitlyn.

I have used Aveda for many years, I first started my journey in London . On discovering a salon in Poole started using this salon. They moved to sandbanks and I followed my stylist . I got every month for my hair having many treatments and services. They always are very welcoming and provide a top service, I would not visit another salon . This is far the best salon and experience I have ever had.

I've been visiting Dana Quinlan since the salon moved from Poole Quay, where I was a long standing client. I love the friendly vibe, knowledgeable stylists, friendly front desk, and the products are amazing. The next question asks if I was advised about rebooking. It's not applicable to me as I always book my next appointment at point of payment.

I moved to the area two years ago and really struggled to find a hairdresser who matched the standard I was used to in Hertfordshire. At last, I’ve found Dana!

She coloured and cut my hair beautifully – I finally feel like I have a proper style again. The whole salon experience was fantastic: warm, welcoming, and professional. I even had a manicure while waiting for my colour to develop – such a treat! Highly recommend.

I moved to the area over 2 years ago and have struggled to find a hair dresser who can style, shape, cut, layer and dress my hair in the way that I want it. There are endless barbers who can remove hair and give you the latest “style” or trim, but the result only lasts until your leave the premises. I am delighted to say that in Mary I have finally found a stylist who understands the complex composition of my hair, how to style it so that it sits properly and grows in accordance with how I want it to look. I cannot recommend Mary highly enough and have already booked my next appointment.
