About us

Mike opened Boss Hair studio in 1983 with Sharon. We started as a team of 4 players with lots of enthusiasm to raise the professional and creative standards of hairdressing in The Furness Area.
Our aim is to give a better service in our salon, to help and advise our clients so they learn the right way to looking good every day. We strive to set the standard in service and quality.

We moved to our fabulous new premises at 90 Duke Street in the Spring of 2006. We extended the number of chairs and improved the facilities for the benefit of our clients and ourselves. This also included the beginning of our luxurious Beauty Therapy and Treatment Rooms. These offer advice and treatments in Dermalogica Skin Care, Body Care, St. Tropez Spray Tans, Biosculpture Gel Nails and more. We also extended our shop for home use Hair Care, Styling Tools, Equipment and Dermalogica Skin Care. Altogether a great place to work and meet our clients!

We now have a team of 10 Hairdressers, 3 Therapists, including Patricia, Mike’s wife. We put a great deal of emphasis on training and customer care, ensuring that our clients get the best service and results from our Salon. The Beauty and Skin Centre are lead by Patricia. She has created a great working relationship with Dermalogica Skin Care Products providing great treatments and home care skin systems that really work and care for your skin.

Claire is responsible for, and leads, the very high standard of colouring services in the salon. Achieving success in The Wella Master Colour award Specialist Program, which is the industry leader in professional hair colour. Now our clients benefit from superior levels of technical colour expertise, personal hair colour consultations and creativity.

This was my very first visit to Boss in Barrow. I was made to feel very welcome with the offer of a drink upon arrival. Steph was absolutely amazing. The haircut was spot on, even the Mrs loved it. The conversation just flowed as if we had known each other for years. Already booked my next appointment

Having taken antibiotics to control adult acne for 20 years you cannot imagine my surprise and relief when a combination of Dermalogica cleansing products and regular Microzone (mini facial) treatments from Pat and the Boss team have cleared my skin completely. My skin is now brighter and younger looking than it was 10 years ago - amazing! I can't recommend them enough.

I received excellent service from all at Boss on short notice. I was let down by my usual hairdresser so I went to Boss and was offerred an appointment there and then with Sharon. She made me feel at ease and cut and blowdried my hair just as requested. On going to pay my bill I had forgotten my PIN! i felt sick! Total brain freeze! Claire who colours my hair came to my rescue, and put me out of my embarressment!
Thanks to all of staff at Boss for being attentative and caring.
I would definately reccomend this hair salon.

I visited Pat at the salon after several years of neglecting my skin. She put me at ease straight away and made me feel very relaxed. She removed the many many milk spots from
My skin and after only two treatments I can not only see the results, I feel amazing too. I love Pat and would recommend the salon to anyone.

Was greeted at desk as soon as I arrived. Asked to take a seat. My hair stylist came over checked what I wanted doing with my hair, she checked the condition and length of my hair. Wash and cut was carried out professionall. Before it was blow dried I was asked if I was happy with the new length /style of cut. As always I was very happy with the friendly and professional service.
