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.

Charlotte always does my hair (full head of highlights and a cut ever couple of months) and I wouldn't go to anyone else, it's always cut how I wanted it and the colour is stunning. Prices compared to other hairdressers in Aberdeen are extemly good for the quality of service you get as well.

Really like my hair color, very shiny and healthy looking. Erin used stain remover at the start of hair colour but after she finished at the end she didn’t check for stains that were left around the edges. She did remove it after I mentioned it to her as I was about to leave. Would prefer if this was checked before the appointment was finished.

Thanks Elaine, glad you like the colour!
I know you will appreciate Erin is an apprentice in her first year of training and it is great when people like yourself come in as models in training for our apprentices as they work to become creative, passionate hairdressers.
Training helps them develop their skills and learn how to listen to and give their models the best service they can so by the time they are on the floor as fully qualified stylists with their own clients, they will have the confidence and knowledge to be the best they can be :)

I've been back to Hatstand Nelly for a year or so now. I followed Lorraine here from her pre Hatstand days and stayed for many years as I always felt so comfortable and welcome it really is like visiting friends. A few years ago my job changed and I couldn't come to Hatstand as my days off we're their closing days and I work too far away to come in the evening. I spent 3 years trying every hairdresser who was open on a Monday but was never happy and comfortable and had some shocking hair cuts. Fast forward and I changed my hours and the first thing I did was book back in at Hatstand Nelly with the lovely Megan who I remembered from her training days. I feel like I'm back in a comfy pair of old slippers! I have tricky hair and lots of it but am always happy with my haircut! Thank you Megan! A special thank you Denise also for being so lovely xx
