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.

Dermalogica Facial Delight

19th May 2017

Thoroughly enjoyed a Dermalogica face mapping session today with Pat. 12 months ago I had distressing Rosacea and no daily facial routine, now my skin has never looked so good (even in the morning no pillow marks),
Today Pat introduced me to some new Dermalogica products that will build on and improve on, the products I use every day. Set in relaxing and professional surroundings, I came away feeling thoroughly pampered.
I always purchase my replacement products from Boss, and enjoy samples to take away and try at home.

I definitely recommend this service and this lovely friendly Salon

Great professional help from Steph had my first back massage, didn't tell Steph that I'd been having a problem with elevating my right arm. However, now I can without pain, was thinking about going to the GP about it who would probably have prescribed pain prescription. So Steph has saved the NHS money. Didn't mention my arm because it was a back and neck massage but just shows how everything is related. Thank you Steph and Boss Studio. Joanne Leake x

What I love about Boss is their prompt service (rarely had to wait), flexibility when I-inevitably- leave my appointment till the last minute and, most importantly, the warm, welcoming staff (always greeted with a smile, chatty, pleasant staff!) Thank you Sam and Nikki today for my colour and finish-gorgeous! Would recommend any of the stylists.

I thoroughly enjoy my monthly treatments with Becca. She takes time to ensure I'm comfortable and encourages me to relax. She works with me to try out different things and is happy to make recommendations for things that she thinks will work for me. I highly recommend giving her a try for skin treatments, massages, manicures and/or pedicures.

I never leave this salon disappointed!
I am always greeted with a warm welcome by all of the staff and am always offered coffee/tea. My stylist is very knowledgeable and discusses with me all aspects of my hair care and styling. On more than one occasion my hair has not only been blow dryed, but curled/put up, if I am going out that evening. Nothing is too much trouble and I can't wait to return!

From the moment you walk in all staff are friendly and acknowledge you!! They take your coat and ask you if ou want a drink! ALL STAFF are approachable, happy and professional. I use to have James all the time for my hair he is fantastic, my husband won't go to anyone else!! But because of my work commitments I had to go with another stylist which is Stef. She is also fantastic! Both stylists always give you what you want!! Thank you James and Stef for looking after us! It's nice to go in and see everyone loves their work!

Haircut with James

James has a wonderful ability to turn me from a 10/10 to the only known 11/10 sinve records began. He's literally the only person allowed within 2m of my hair with scissors or a clipper. Only once in the last 5 years I have been forced to use someone else and in comparisson to James, it looked like I had jumped into a ceiling fan.

If God once again looks down on at the people on Earth and sends his son down to show manking the error of our ways the first place Jesus will go before he cures blindness, before he walks on water and before he feeds the hungry with fish and bread will be down to Boss Hair Studio for a number 1 fade off James.
