Was a first visit today and will definitely be making many more.
Having my hair cut is normally just getting rid of a little bit of myself but I feel Ashleigh really got to know me as a person. Very calming after a stressful day at work!
Beautiful salon too!

What a lovely salon.. I have finally found a hairdressers that I can trust!
From the moment I walked into the salon to the moment I left I was treated amazingly.
The girls listened to my concerns, thoughts and instructions. They gave their expert advice and where lovely and friendly.
They encouraged me to have a healthy chop and I trusted their judgement.. and I've never been happier!
They even stayed late to give me my first ever curly blowdry!
Great service, great professionals and great salon X thank you girls! X

Today I had my highlights and cut done with Emma and it was great. Not only was she lovely but she listened to what I wanted but also offered great advise with photos of what she had done similar that would suit my hair. The first consultation I have ever had that made me feel listened to, respected and advised correctly by someone who really knows what she is doing. The end result was great, perfect colour and cut. ovely relaxing salon.

This is the second and last time I will go to this salon, I went in and wanted balyage but was advised against this because I could end up with my hair leaving in a bag, so I respected that, I had previously showed my hairdresser what I wanted as I like cool ash blonde so she advised me to have a Toner,so to lighten my hair up and I've had toners before and averaged about 20 mins,well 5 mins is all I had to wait for this to take!!so I thought great they obv use a different one, ha wrong so to cut a long story short, I wasn't listened to, and was given a terrible blow dry which I also said I didn't need as I didn't have plans but was ignored then charged for it and then sat there and listened to the so called hairdresser that I got the grey look that I showed her in a pic it wasn't even grey. it's awful I'm so dissapointed as I left darker than when I walked in.

I booked in on Friday for a full head of balayage highlights, a cut and blow dry, and Olaplex treatment, and Alisha was my stylist. Firstly, appearances do count, as hairdressers are in the business of making us feel good about how we look. I was really impressed with the appearance of the salon, varnished wood flooring, lovely mirrors and walls painted in a beautiful deep sage green/French grey colour. Everyone at the salon was friendly and very professional, first-rate, I felt really looked after during my appointment, I had such a nice time at the salon I really enjoyed the whole experience. My hair was washed with Davines shampoo and conditioner, an organic brand that I'd not heard of, that smelt heavenly.. Like an English summer garden. I liked it so much I bought some on my way out! I enjoyed a coffee and some biscuits while reading magazines, later on I was offered from a selection of cool drinks from the salon fridge as it was a warm afternoon. (Little touches like this

This salon is fab and Georgie can work wonders with my wild frizzy hair! She really listens when I'm having a problem with my hair shedding and remembers all the things from my previous appointments. She gives great advice too on hair loss and hair care. I left the salon yesterday with some lovely bouncy curls and a fantastic cut - my hair felt really different and came back to life after leaving it far too long! Thank you Georgie! :-)

The Nioxin scalp treatment is amazing and leaves your head feeling so clean and it always gives my hair growth a little boost when I've had it done.

All the girls in the salon are fab and so friendly. I've had my colour done by Kim a few times and have always been so pleased with the finish. These girls are like hair magicians!!
The salon itself is a lovely set up too and I always feel so relaxed while I'm there.

Without a doubt the best salon I have been to! Ashleigh is a brilliant stylist, I went from long hair to a bob today - mainly due to hair loss after pregnancy, I was nervous about having it all cut off, but thanks to her expertise I left the salon feeling a million dollars! I certainly won't be going anywhere else to have my hair done again! Can't recommend the salon highly enough - Thank you Ashleigh :)

Yet Another Amazing Day At Simone Thomas Salon

Muhammad Ashraf
8th Jul 2016

I must say that my life has taken an amazing shift after my experience at Simone Thomas Salon. I do give credit to myself for my hard work but i believe what i have achieved in these two years is the result of the new confidence given to me by Simone and its Team. My improved social standing and success in being a public figure in several academic and societal areas is linked with my new personality and enhanced self-confidence given to me by the Simone Thomas Salon. I just love the environment of the salon, which is very friendly and welcoming. For me 'Quality' matters far more than the 'Price' and the best part is that the salon understands the individual needs of every client, who are all treated in a different way, which best suits their satisfactory level and personal requirements. I think this is something that makes this Salon stand out from other salons along with their elite class services and supreme quality. I love the hair styling which is done by Kim Moody.

I walked in with fraying ends and a set of yellowish highlights with very obvious roots. After Kim listened to my concerns, she offered solutions and I soon had a classy, ashy set of highlights with beautifully blended roots. She managed to improve the shape of my hair while being mindful of the fact I was reluctant to lose length. Overall, very pleased ????

Today I went into Simone Thomas and used my elite living voucher (I have been to the salon before and loved it, the voucher was an added bonus) I really wanted my inverted bomb cut back in but asked Kimberley for her advice on having an under cut and she gave great advice so I went ahead. I also had a half head of high lights and I have to say I walked out of the salon feeling like a million pounds! The rain was heavy but I felt like the sun was out.
I can't recommend Kimberley enough, she is so helpful, polite and made my morning a joy???? Thank you Kimberley and Simone Thomas

I have been having my hair done at Simone Thomas since November 2015. I can say I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience each time. The stylist always takes great care with my hair and ultimately gives me a result better than anticipated. My highlights are always amazing, the soft tones are even and the bouncy blow dry lasts days. To top it off, every time I get a short head massage after my hair wash, for me, this is the best part! Most salons skip by this/give a pathetic rub. I get a 5 minute massage which is such a treat. I would highly recommend Simone. Their stylists do a great job, they are friendly and their prices are competitive. 5* thank you, Penny.

This was my first visit and a bubbly young lady introduced herself to me as Jasmin and was going to do my hair. Thus was great as she was going to do all my hair; whole head of hilights, washing, head massage with a beautiful perfume scented conditioner and then restyled. Even wet I could see the difference. I feel younger. My hair os glossy and now looking naturally blonde with all the colours she so patiently put in. As for the style, I love it. Thankyou Jasmin, Lorna

This is just an add-on to an earlier review. Following an unsatisfactory experience, the Senior Director of the salon called us and spoke at length about the unfortunate experience. She offered a free hair cut with a Senior Director and was genuinely apologetic. My wife and child have had nothing but great experiences in the salon and I am sure this was a one off event and mistakes do sometimes happen.

I was looking forward to a relax and memorable experience at Simone Thomas. But it was NOT to be. The lady who gave me the hair cut see to be in hurry and nervous. Starting with hair wash where very hot water was used on my head when I had asked for lukewarm. During the haircut,her hands were shaking. The hair was not brushed off from my face and neck and had to do it myself. Also my shirt collar and shoulder was covers with hair since it was not properly covered.

I was expecting a senior stylist since that's what was agreed when making the appointment. Which I doubt was the case. On the whole a lousy experience. I was hoping for a Starbucks experience but got a below average one.

I visited Simone Thomas's salon in Bournemouth for a truthful assessment of how I look. As a transwoman I feel I need to make the best of my facial features and hair is very important to that first impression.
Their staff, including Georgie, were very welcoming and made me feel my doubts about my appearance are to a large extent unfounded.
We discussed my present situation and the types of hair styles and colour that would suit my age and my bone structure.
After nearly an hours consultation during which time I tried on several wigs of differing colours I came away feeling that I had achieved a very satisfactory outcome.
Thank you Georgie and those other nice people in your salon.
Best wishes,
