Heard about Simone Thomas and the great job they did helping someone transition to their natural grey. Went for a consult, Ashleigh was brilliant, didn’t pull any punches, said it won’t be quick, that I have to be patience, as it will take some time overall. By the time I had the appointment, I had also made my mind up to start from ground zero, and have my long hair also cut off, to a short style, this was a spanner in the works from me, but they were so helpful and Michelle stepped in to cut my hair into a great style. I thought I would hate going from brunette to light on my journey to grey, but Ashleigh did a great job with the colouring, so between Michelle and her, walked out sort of happy but as I’ve got used to it, loving the style and looking forward to going to my natural hair colour of grey, I little bit gracefully. Can’t thank them enough

I moved to the Dorset area 2 years ago.. and have been wearing wigs for a while now (following chemotherapy a few years before) and finding Simone Thomas Salon and the amazing stylist Georgie on my doorstep was an absolute bonus!.. Georgie has since styled several of my wigs (the most recent this morning). She has such a lovely nature and her expertise/knowledge of wigs is second to none..

The products she used smelt and look fantastic and she made time to talk me through some shampoos and conditioners that would be suited to my hair. The salon itself is gorgeous, very light and airy, and I felt very covid safe. All the staff I interacted with were very friendly and welcoming, overall a wonderful experience! Thank you Lauren and the team :)

I was happy with The consultation and the colour work done by Sharelle. The salon is beautifully decorated and aesthetically pleasing but customer service on the phone and at front desk can be quite blunt and unfriendly. I’ve had this several times when dealing with this salon that always puts me off. Also the price for PPE is quite expensive given that they are quite cheap to buy in shops. I was also quite shocked that I was still charged for rough blow dry after my colour even though I left the salon with wet hair (didn’t have time to stay longer to finish the blow dry).

Having never been to the salon before I was a little apprehensive. My hair needed some TLC and I finally found a salon that offered an intensive conditioning treatment. Michelle was lovely! She put me at ease straight away and was an absolute pleasure to be with. The salon is very friendly and relaxed and I came out feeling amazing! The best I have felt in years, literally. I cannot put into words how grateful I am to Michelle but she was awesome.

I have a very long thick hair, which is a hard work to wash and esp to blow dry ( I even rarely do it myself coz I know how exhausting it takes) but she aced it, and finished up with a beach curls. I felt really well looked after. Loved all of it! Huge thank you! ❤️

I believe I chose the right stylist ....
Absolutely brilliant advice was given to try and help me repair the hair I have. With many conditions I have, the main bring calcium deficient, my hair wasn’t doing too good. Got the cut done yesterday and haven’t put it up since. Loving it. Usually couldn’t wear it down due to how thick it was but now it’s perfect. Will definitely be coming back to get it re done.

Always a nerve racking experience choosing a new salon and a new stylist.
However they were lovely, and Paula did a fab cut baring in mind the last cut was December 10th. Very pleased and have booked in for highlights.. Thus salon is more expensive than previous which was in Surrey so surprised but worth it?
