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.

I asked for a specific colour look and my hairstylist delivered! My hair is very dark as well and I wanted a bright colour. Somehow they made it work without having to bleach my hair. It's subtle yet very bright under the sun and I love it! Very professional and lovely people. I had a great experience!

Leigh has been colouring and cutting my hair now for the past couple of years.

I actually enjoy going to this professional, friendly, well run and homely salon. Where your most ‘precious ornament’ your hair, is their top priority. Without any doubt whatsoever Leigh never fails when it comes to doing a fantastic job on my very curly and unruly locks,.

I always leave feeling relaxed and delighted with the expertly created and finished look every visit.

Hatstand Nelly is one of the best most understated salons in Aberdeen to my mind!

With my last hairdresser leaving the salon I bit the bullet and went out on a limb to find somewhere new. Something I utterly dreaded. However I'm really glad I found this salon, despite my last minute booking I was squeezed in with the lovely Cheryl who was an utter dream to have my hair cut by. Full of ideas, friendly, and a lovely new style to boot.

Went for a cut in between colour treatments. As soon as you step into hatstand nelly you feel relaxed. The juice bar is great so you can get some of your 5-a-day into you at the same time.

Great to learn that you can now refill your shampoo/conditioner at hatstand nelly too. Just bring any clean container with you and fill with their large range of products available. Fantastic to reduce and reuse plastic. Well done!
