Boilerhouse Hair and Beauty Salon Jesmond

9 Acorn Rd, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, NE2 2DJ

About us

Boilerhouse was born from the creative vision of Kim Le-Neveu and Steve Jones, hairdressing heavyweights with over 30 years salon experience apiece. In their early careers both spent time with Vidal Sassoon, with Steve developing managerial experience at the South Molton Street branch and Kim teaching at the renowned Vidal Sassoon Academy.
The pair then spent 3 years touring the Far East, delivering training seminars on the latest hair techniques and styles. Before returning home the pair spent time in Australia, becoming involved in fashion and photography work for top magazines.
On returning home, Kim and Steve found themselves in great demand; the logical next step was to open their own premises. Boilerhouse opened its doors in Newcastle in 1985 and rapidly established a well-earned reputation as a leading salon in the region.
Boilerhouse has since gone from strength to strength, with Kim as the head stylist / trainer and Steve taking on the role of full-time salon manager. The salon has consistently proved to be a hit both with customers and within the fashion world. The team are regularly involved in fashion events, with Boilerhouse cuts and styles being published in most major national and international hair magazines.

Kim has cut my hair for 33 years...so I was understandably nervous about sitting down with Sally. No need to fear, got the same fab attention and skilful cut. Here’s to the next 30 years Sally ?

I get waxed here on a regular basis and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else!

Prices are slightly higher than other places but the quality of the service definitely reflects this - out of everywhere I’ve tried (Which is a fair share of places) I’ve never came across such good service and the attention to detail is amazing. Now as soon as anyone mentions needing waxed I recommend this place straight away.

Amy does such a great job and makes it such a friendly and relaxing atmosphere, as does Alexis!

Highly recommend.

Awful blow dry but lovely service

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

Probably the worst cut and blow dry I have ever had. I left the salon with part of my hair still wet and the top of it was frizzy. In and out within 45mins and I have long thick hair. No layers were cut into it and it wasn’t thinned. I actually can’t believe how bad it was ? too polite to say anything there and then but feel like Boilerhouse needs to understand why it has lost my business. £48 as well! I could have done a better job myself.

Had a lovely warm welcome from the Salon staff. I haven’t been to a Salon for years as I usually get my hair done at home. What a treat! The consultation with Michael was thorough. The wash was done by Owen, very friendly and he gave me a wonderful head massage. Lovely cup of Latte brought by Kirsty. Thrilled with haircut. Staff all wonderful. I’ve heard great things about The Boilerhouse and it certainly didn’t disappoint. I’ll be back ?

Firstly, i love my cut. Secondly, as someone who reluctantly drags myself to the hairdresser very rarely and usually hates every moment of staring at myself in the mirror, I can honestly say I enjoyed my annual hair cut this year. Molly was fab, made me feel very at ease, totally got what I wanted. I'm even considering regular haircuts!

Blonde balayage

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

I went to boilerhouse after hearing good reviews from friends. I was aware that Boilehouse is quite expensive but was reassured that the price would be justified by the quality of the service. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the overall look of the salon is great. I asked for a blonde balayage and showed the hairdresser some pictures for reference, and I specifically mentioned I didn’t want a streaky look, that I wanted everything to blend nicely, and I was assured this would be the case. When I initially saw my hair I thought the front section was a lot lighter than I was expecting, but thought the overall look was nice, particularly as the stylist curled it for me. However out of the light of the salon and without the curls I feel my hair isn’t exactly how I had hoped. I feel my hair is quite streaky rather than the nice blend I was expecting, and the streaks on top are actually lighter than the ends of my hair, which I wanted to be the lightest part. I thought I just needed to get used to it but my (painfully honest) friends have agreed that it is streaky, and one was surprised when I said I’d had it done at boilerhouse...
