About us

Hatstand Nelly was created in August 2004 to offer hairdressing with a difference.

It's not just about the cut or colour, although these are delivered with the utmost professionalism. It's also about the total salon experience. Great customer care and individual style advice for individual people, creating great looking hair from brave and bold to silky and smooth.

We listen to you to give you hair that fits in with your lifestyle, is most definitely 'you' and looks great between visits - not just when you leave the salon.

Our aim is to enhance the good stuff and tame the bad stuff!

Our Juice Bar offers fresh blended smoothies, juices as well as Fairtrade coffees & teas while you're here - or just pop in if you're passing to sit in or take away.

Jeni at LiShic Beauty is also based here to help with all your beauty needs - from waxing & make-up to Dermaplaning and Epi 3D brows.

This is the first time I’ve been out properly since shielding on lockdown & the girls all made me feel welcome & safe. Rebecca changed my hair from being an embarrassment to making me want to go out to show it off. Thank you so much. See you again soon

I have found my hairdresser soulmate. Felt at ease immediately and Lorraine was a diamond, accepting my quirks and working around them. She is passionate about hair and made sure I was fully aware of what she was doing step by step. Even though I battled through the Aberdeen elements and was windswept by the time I got home, my daughter loved my haircut. Back next week for my colour and looking forward to it.

Leigh was fantastic. Really friendly, really helpful with great advice. I love my new cut and couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would most definitely go back!
