The salon is friendly and welcoming and Dana is extremely talented and delightful. I had struggled to find a salon I was happy with after moving out of London but am so happy with all aspects of the service at Dana Quinlan. Highly recommended.

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 was Dana’s client in London for hair and eyebrow microblading and I travelled down from London for the day to her new salon in Canford Cliffs to have my eyebrows done again by Dana. My brows look amazing as always and I was given a complimentary wash and blow dry.

Caitlin was exceptional! She guided me through every step of the process and made me feel completely at ease. It's rare to find a stylist with such passion for her work and such talent in hair cutting. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to my friends and family—I've already done so! Great service at a great price, so get in there quickly; I have no doubt Caitlin will go far in her career!

One of the best salons I’ve ever been to. Needed to have some correction work on my colour which had been done at another salon and Dana did an absolutely outstanding job and to top it off she is so nice, understanding of what it is you are looking for and will guide you in the right direction. Definitely looking forward to my next visit

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.

I visited yesterday for a male dry hair cut ( my neck does not allow me to get a shampoo ) and it was £60. After lockdown it was £45 and prior to lockdown it was £25.
Quite an increase of just under 150% in 3 years.

I had the best facial ever with Charley on Tuesday. Down on holiday from Cambridge so can't do it often but would love one every week. So lovely and my skin feels amazing. Also had a lovely blow-dry after. Would thoroughly recommend the experience. I learned lots of things about my skin too. Thank you so much

I have been going to HNB for 10 years usually having a great experience . However in the last year the previous management have made this less than great. However under new management even though the physical space , integrating new services , is a work in progress at the moment , the atmosphere is professional relaxing focussed on quality and with much better customer service and more skilled staff. Julie being back is a big highlight for me she is a wonderful person and the best hairdresser I have ever had. I have signed up as a member and am looking forward to having additional beauty and dental services . Well done to Manish and his team.
