Boss Hair, Beauty And Skin Centre

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.

I have been to so many hairdressers over the years but yet have never found somewhere I felt confident or happy to revisit. Neither had I found a stylist I could trust until now and I would often leave the salon not entirely happy with the service and results. (Why do they ask you what want done and do what they want to anyway?)
My husband works in Barrow and I discovered this salon, by chance, just around the corner from his apartment. So while he was at work one day I decide to give this salon a try and I’m so glad I did! I am really pleased with the salon, the stylist and my hair! The overall experience is amazing with no hard selling either! And I have been back! I also plan to revisit the salon even though I live in Poole in Dorset! Thank you so much Jackie 5 stars
