Dana Quinlan Salon

Great haircut and lovely service.

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.

From the moment I met Dana & had my consultation for colour correction, I felt immediately at ease, Dana is warm, welcoming & highly professional ..I had my hair done by Dana today, colour correction, glossing, toning & cut, the result has exceeded what I thought was possible, thank you Dana I am so thrilled with my hair. The best it’s been for years! Thank you also to Emma for her gentleness & wonderful head massage..I would highly recommend this salon

Very happy with my hair - a lovely experience all round so thank you!

Absolutely lovely first visit to Dana Q! Dana was amazing—she really understood my hair and gave thoughtful, professional advice on colour and style. She explained everything in a clear and reassuring way, and I left feeling excited and confident about the plan. Highly recommend her!

Lisa took a lot of care to produce a fabulous colour. Very very pleased with the results and such a love girl

Fantastic cut from Dana best that I have had in years I bought the shampoo and conditioner as I thought the final finish was amazing
Would certainly recommend
In addition Emma does great massage when shampooing

I had my first cut and blow dry at Dana’s today. My stylist, Lisa, was excellent and went to a lot of trouble to restyle my hair as we had discussed. The finished result was brilliant and all done in a very calm and bespoke atmosphere. Thank you!

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.

Been going here for nearly a year. Always a very good experience in a lovely environment. Dana is an amazing at what she does and it’s nice to have someone who can be creative with men’s hair but understand I still need to go to work and look businesslike!

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.

Really thrilled with my new eyebrows. I'd wanted Microblading for ages, but was too nervous to give it a go. Meeting Dana and having my hair cut with her I knew I could trust Dana to give me the perfect eyebrows too. I was right, I couldn't be happier with the results, thank you!

Lisa gave me 6 year old daughter a wonderful salon experience and made her feel very special. She had a fabulous cut and there was lots of attention to detail. She is already looking forward to coming back

Fabulous. Dana is magic - she completely transformed my badly coloured poorly styled thinning hair. I’m thrilled with my new colour and cut, and loving the compliments coming my way. A miracle - the day after, it looked as good as when I left the salon. The salon environment is exceptionally welcoming and inclusive.
Huge thank you to Dana and her team.

Dana is excellent, guided me through what I needed, and tailored my colour to my needs and what colour suited me best. Very happy again, great staff and lovely atmosphere. I will definitely be back, thank you

Lisa was great! Welcoming, chatty, great hair cut! Left feeling happy and pleased with my hair cut!

Lovely treatment and in record time (2.5hrs)

I recently had a consultation with Dana, and she gave me fantastic suggestions on both the colour and cut. Dana is incredibly knowledgeable and understanding, which was so reassuring as this is a new salon for me after moving to the area.

Today, I had a Half Head of Highlights and a toner done by Lisa, who kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. The end result was absolutely amazing—beautifully blended and natural!

Afterward, I had a cut and blow-dry with Ylenia, who provided the same excellent service. I wasn’t sure exactly how I wanted my hair, but with Dana’s earlier suggestion to shorten my fringe, Ylenia gave me a stunning cut. I also had a bouncy blow-dry, something I hadn’t tried before, and I absolutely love the outcome!

I want to thank all of you lovely ladies—Dana, Lisa, Ylenia—for your incredible service, warm atmosphere, and impressive expertise. I’m so happy with my experience and have already booked my next appointment. Next stop: nails with Emma!

Had a balayage with Dana and haircut with Yleina today and I’m really pleased with the results. The colour was achieved exactly as I expected. The team members were friendly, professional and made the experience very comfortable. Highly recommend.

Lisa’s highlights are lovely and bright. Elena’s blow dry fab too. And all done within two and a half hours - perfect! Thank you 🙏

I had my hair cut here for the first time with Dana and had such a positive experience. The stylist gave me exactly the cut I asked for, and she was incredibly gentle and considerate with my scalp psoriasis, which I really appreciated. She explained what she was doing throughout the appointment and gave me helpful advice on how to style my hair at home, which made me feel completely at ease.

All the staff were attentive and welcoming from the moment I walked in, and the whole atmosphere felt calm and supportive. I left feeling really happy with my hair and well looked after. I’ve already booked and look forward to my next appointment. Thank you to all the team.

Thank you thank you thank you for my amazing bob cut! I was so nervous to get it done but you guys went with the vision I had and created something even better than I had imagined! Can’t wait to keep coming back for years to come! You also treated by 20 month old daughter incredibly and it meant I could actually enjoy my appointment! Thank you once again!

I was very satisfied with my haircut today. Ylenia took care and time to provide an excellent cut that suited my hair.

Been thinking about having eyebrows done for some time am very pleased with results wished I had done it sooner

Always friendly service from all staff and Dana shows much care in advising what is best for the condition of your hair and what style and colour will best suit .. she listens which is a wonderful trait . The salon is calm and I feel relaxed in knowing I’m being looked after 100percent . I recommend .

Stylist - Lisa
Using her experience Lisa tailored the highlights to my individual hair style. The colour was great and suited my natural colouring. Lisa suggested other colour choices. All completed in a lovely relaxed professional atmosphere. I will rebook for the same in 2 months. I have recommended 6 friends.

Emma was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She made my whole wash and blowdry feel so relaxing and genuinely personal. She really took the time to make sure I was comfortable and listened to exactly what I wanted. My hair feels and looks incredible — so smooth, bouncy and styled perfectly. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and the experience she gives. I’ll definitely be booking with Emma again. Highly recommend! ✨

A lovely all round experience. Friendly & welcoming salon. Excellent products & service.

Wonderful cut

I visited Dana Quinlan for my first haircut post-baby. Dana was very welcoming to me, my baby and my husband and I felt very very pampered. Dana helped me decide on a new hairstyle and advised how to maintain it, and I loved the final look. I will definitely be visiting again!

Ylenia really listened to what I wanted and created a lovely flattering style. She gave me excellent advice on how to improve my hair’s condition and I left feeling confident about how to look after it. Highly recommend!

The perfect place to get your hair done. The most perfect service from when you arrive to the finish. From the minute you book your appointment to receiving your service you are made to feel welcome. All the staff are professional, kind, caring and are very customer focussed . I have been using this salon for a few years now and it has been worth every penny.

I recently had a wash and blow dry done by the lovely Lisa who was so warm and friendly and made sure to check in with me and my hair preferences regularly. I will definitely be booking with her again, thank you Lisa and team!

I had a colour consultation with Dana who was absolutely delightful! Full of knowledge as well as understanding which is just so reassuring for me when it comes to my hair. I cannot wait to come back and have my colour done by Dana & haircut by Ylenia! Ylenia kindly cut my fringe for me when I visited & I love it! Just a bunch of beautiful ladies in a beautiful salon - what more could a girl want! So glad I discovered this gem of a salon. I know I am going to be looked after x

Ylenia was fantastic today. Fantastic welcome and hair wash / massage. Lovely relaxing experience, I’ll recommend to others.

Thanks for a relaxing afternoon and fabulous hair!

Lovely place loved the hair cut and had a lovely head massage as well would reconmend to any one

I had my hair styled by Ylenia. She listened to what I wanted to achieve and gave great advice. The haircut and blowdry is honestly the best - I have woken up and my hair looks as perfect as when I left the salon - never had that before!!

Ylenia is very friendly and easy to chat to, the salon is beautiful - lovely decoration and atmosphere, all the staff smiling and happy.

I had such a wonderful experience as a new customer at Dana Quinlan, with stylist Lilly who completely put me at ease. She made my hair look so beautiful, freshly and glossy, and also took time to help me to plan and work towards my future hair goals, sharing her knowledge and expertise. I already booked my next appointment with Lilly and can’t wait! The salon is elegant and relaxing, and everyone is so friendly from the moment you walk through the door.

Be revisiting when I need my next cut.
All staff are very friendly.

I was very happy and pleased with my hair

I had a great meeting with Dana, the hairdresser. She was professional, attentive, and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. Dana offered thoughtful suggestions and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the discussion. I left feeling excited about the next steps and trusting her expertise.

Dana microbladed my eyebrows last year and she has done this for me for the last almost 10 years. I wouldn't go anywhere else. She does a fantastic job, the salon is lovely and and highly recommend her.
