Such a delight from start to finish! The colour consultation with Dana at the start when so much care and time was spent to understand what I was looking for (and whether it would be suitable for my specific hair type) I felt listened to and advised with Dana’s expertise. The salon experience was really special too, very comfortable and pleasant, such attentive and charming staff and Dana coloured my hair so beautifully, it’s perfect! My hair feels very soft and silky too, such a treat and I’ll definitely be back for more in the near future! Thank you so much Dana!

I had a great experience having my hair coloured cut and styled by Elona. The colour came out really well and my hair was left in really good condition. The salon itself is spacious, super comfortable and beautifully decorated. All the stylists are super friendly and welcoming. Thank you Elona and Dana

I had my eyebrows touched up after micro blading in August. Fabulous service including a complimentary manicure and polish while I waited for the numbing cream to work. Very pleased with my eyebrows and my manicure! I come from London for my eyebrows as I wouldn’t trust anyone but Dana to do them.

This is the second time I have been to Dana Quinlan and will definitely not be my last! My hair has never looked healthier. Caitlyn took the time to go through any queries and advised me on the best care for my hair (which is extremely fine). After 8 weeks it’s already looking thicker and shinier than ever!

It was a birthday treat from my daughter and I was really spoilt. Had a lovely shampoo, brilliant cut and beautiful blow dry. Caitlyn was super lovely and advised me on what's best for my hair both in the short term and long term. Mary did such a wonderful job on my fringe and I couldn't be happier with the end result! I was absolutely spoilt, they answered any and all questions I had. Emma then curled my hair which I've never had done before and I was gobsmacked by the before and after of my hair. It looks and feels so much better and healthier now. I'm am so truly grateful to the entire Dana Quinlan team. Highly highly recommended!!

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.
