The Leading Edge Hair & Beauty

61 Dowson Rd, Hyde, Greater Manchester, SK14 1QS

About us

Pride of Tameside's Hair & Beauty Business of the year 2017

The ultimate pampering experience comes to Hyde!
Enjoy City Centre treatment at local prices with The Leading Edge ‘one-stop’ hair and beauty experience.

At last we have a salon with a difference! With the recent opening of The Leading Edge, salon owners Alan and Barrie told us “Our many years of experience in business taught us that to remain successful you need to listen to the needs of your customers. Many customers have very busy lifestyles and demand all the latest treatments to be accessible under one roof. The Leading Edge provides just that”.

They continued, “Most salons these days are in a time warp and have offered nothing new for years. The Leading Edge recognises this and is a concept that truly has to be seen and experienced to be believed”.

Gone are tiny cramped seating areas; replaced with a large comfortable lounge where you can relax, enjoy a coffee or catch up with your e-mails on the free Wi-Fi, provided. Convenient onsite parking where you can even have your car washed and valeted during your visit. Nail technicians are on hand to offer you manicures, pedicures and acrylic nails without the need to travel elsewhere. A full range of beauty treatments are available now with our beautician both in our salon and upper floor treatment room. A little retail therapy, offering branded fragrances, handbags, jewellery and hair accessories is also available for the ladies!

The men have not been forgotten as they have their own totally separate area which brings the Barbers Shop into a modern era! No need to worry about waiting times as you can book online or alternatively call in and take advantage of the free pool table whilst you wait. The game enthusiasts are catered for with the provision of a PS3 or you can even watch the huge 12 foot HD screen in the comfort of an armchair.

All this is supported by a dynamic, creative and professional Leading Edge team; all head hunted for their skills and knowledge to deliver The Leading Edge experience and philosophy.

Call 0161 368 9999 and make an appointment for a free consultation. Meet the team and sample this unique experience for yourself. As The Leading Edge says, “Visit us and experience the future in hair and beauty at today’s affordable prices”.

Popped in for a quick wash n blow before my daughter’s wedding. Everyone was so friendly and chatty and I was offered a cuppa straight away Young stylist (1000 apologies didn’t catch her name!) was really lovely and professional talking me through what I wanted and explaining the products she was applying. Loved the result and so reasonable too. Had lots of comments on my hair later. Great salon and great people - what more can I say?!

Just to go round the houses I’ve not had a great time really this last couple of years what with one thing and another. I was completely stressed out when I visited the salon and also very apprehensive as I have always had Abbie for my stylist. My appointment was with Gary, well what can I say I had no reason to worry. He stood and listened to me having a mini breakdown and never judged me once. He then began to work his magic with my hair. I absolutely love it and the colour is amazing. The best bit about my visit was the hair wash. I almost nodded off it was just so relaxing and definitely what I needed. Thank you Gary.
