Shaun was very mindful of my problems with my hair and recommended how to deal with them .. 👍🏻

I felt restored to the person I was two years ago when I’d stopped straightening my hair and allowed it to be curly .. 🎉

Thank you for that .. 🥳

Had a colour and cut with Shaun at Dana Quinlan Hair today and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. Shaun has such a brilliant eye for colour; it's rich, dimensional, and exactly the transformation I didn't know I needed. The cut is sharp, full of movement.
Beyond the incredible skill, what really sets this salon apart is the atmosphere. Every single member of staff is exceptional; warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. From the moment you walk in, you feel looked after. Thank you!

I had such a brilliant experience from start to finish. The consultation was fantastic – Shaun really took the time to listen, understand exactly what I wanted, and made me feel completely at ease.
I’ve honestly hated my hair for such a long time, but Shaun completely transformed it. He took all the brassiness and the old black out of my hair and created the most gorgeous brown with beautiful beige highlights. He understood my vision perfectly and absolutely nailed it.
I genuinely can’t stop looking at my hair! I absolutely love it and couldn’t be happier with the result. Thank you so much, Shaun – I can’t recommend you highly enough, and I’m already looking forward to my next appointment!

Dana is always professional, welcoming, and takes great care to make sure I'm happy with the result. My roots are perfectly blended, my hair looks healthy and shiny, and I always leave the salon feeling confident. Thank you, Dana, for your talent, attention to detail, and excellent service.

I’ve received a fantastic service from Dana, my hair colour is exactly what I asked for & my haircut is perfect - Dana listened to my wants & I could not be happier! I feel fabulous & really grateful ☺️ great salon with great people! I was only gutted to realise that when I booked in Feb as a first time client , the offer was for 50% off … I didn’t realise until I got home that the offer changed and only 25% was deducted. I did quote the new client offer when I first came in and also when I telephoned to book and pay the deposit, and then again when I called to reschedule my appointment to be later in the month (mentioned 50% off each time) so I feel like this should have been honoured… nevertheless I am happy & will be recommending Dana’s salon :)

I booked an appointment to start a process of grey blending after years of dying my hair with box dye. This had left me with various grades of colour from golden brown through mid brown with very dark brown ends with grey roots. Dana explained very carefully what she would do and what my journey would look like over the next year. She transformed my hair in my first appointment to a lovely caramel balayage which was amazing and a million miles from that awful box dye nightmare I had before. She is very talented and took such great care of me and my hair. I’m looking forward to my future appointments and excited about my long term hair goals.

The head massage was incredibly relaxing, and the coffee and hospitality made the whole visit feel extra special. Dana made me feel comfortable and well looked after throughout my appointment.
I am absolutely delighted with the result and have already booked some of my future appointments in advance. Highly recommended – thank you, Dana!

What can I say…the best hair salon experience I have ever had! Selected Dana Quinlan after reviewing options for a professional colourist online. Popped in for a free consultation and allergy test, then booked my appointment. Dana is truly an amazing hairdresser - she knew exactly what colours to use which were best for skin tone - totally transformed my blonde hair into a luscious finish. If you are looking for a change, go and see Dana - you will wish you had done so sooner!

I feel really lucky to have found Dana. She’s been cutting and styling my hair for a while now, and she always gets it just right. She listens, gives honest advice, and I always leave feeling genuinely happy with my hair.

She’s also amazing with my little boy, so patient, kind, and calm. What could easily be a stressful haircut turns into a really relaxed experience, and he actually enjoys going, which says everything.

Dana genuinely cares about what she does, and it shows and her team are just as lovely and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. I always look forward to our visits with her.

I am not someone who goes regularly to a hairdresser and this was my 1st visit to Dana’s beautiful salon. I enjoyed my pre-cut experience with a wash and head massage given by Dana’s colleague. Dana gave me a transformative cut and natural highlights which really suit me and my low-maintenance style. My husband came in towards the end of my session and did not recognise me. He asked the receptionist if I’d already left the salon! 😁 My family all love my new look. Thank you.

Great Experience with Ylenia

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

I have been bouncing around to different salons in the Purbeck, Poole and Bournemouth area looking for a place to settle. Usually ending up not entirely happy with the cut, the finish, or how the products smell/feel. Today was different. Ylenia listened to my wishes, but advised me on what would work best for my hair texture. She was attentive and gave advice on after care and style. At first I thought it was too curly and big, but as it settled in on my drive home, I'm so happy with the cut. I will definitely be back in the next couple of months for an update.

The receptionist was very smiley and bouncy which made me feel welcome. Another team member, I think a manager/owner arrived later at the end of my cut and she had a seemingly supoortive side conversation with Ylenia who cut my hair, but when I smiled at her to acknowledge her she just looked away and then sat near us like she was listening, in on Ylenia's final touches to the style and conversation. I understand she is probably wanting to supervise a bit, but there was a noticeable shift in the atmosphere and I felt I was being watched. This made my otherwise very pleasurable experience end on an awkward feeling. If she had just acknowledged my presence as a customer or interelacted a bit this would have helped. I think she needs to know the impact she is having on a welcoming atmostphere.
