Another great cut from Hannah. Hannah has a really professional and friendly manner and is an excellent hairdresser. I couldn’t be happier to have found Dawsons! The salon is lovely, tastefully and beautifully decorated, so clean, spacious and inviting.

What a great job Hannah has done on my very curly hair. I had the Kerasilk premium treatment. My hair looks and feels fantastic. I was truly impressed and will return to have my colour done.

Dawson’s over all is lovely, the atmosphere and staff is all you could ask for when visiting a salon. Ive been going since it opened & couldn’t recommend it anymore. I’ve had multiple beauty services with Sophie and can confirm her talents are endless! She’s so friendly and puts you at ease the moment you walk in. Hannah is also so lovely and knows clients by name and is always ready to greet you and have a conversation with you. Really welcoming and amazing place!!

Good cut, listened to what I wanted. Had a mask on already and I asked if he could also wear a visor and he put one on without even hesitating. Only thing I'd say is that another customer didnt have a face mask on even though it was a requirement and the paperwork said customers would be asked to leave the salon if they rekived their masks at any point

Response from Dawsons Hair & Beauty Lounge

Good morning Hannah thank you for your feedback we always like to hear about our customers experience within the salon. The customer who was not wearing a mask was due to the client having an exemption card due to medical conditions, Client safety is our top priority so moving forward if you would like to visit the salon at a quieter time we will always be happy to accommodate and look for a convenient time.
We look forward to seeing you again.
Best wishes the Dawsons team.

So pleased with my new haircut.

So so happy with my hair, can't stop touching it, it's so smooth! This is my 2nd visit and both times they've managed to get my hair super smooth and soft, I love it.
Jack did a great job today! He was super quick blow drying (and I have a lot of hair) and really paid attention to detail when trimming the ends and correcting my layers. I haven't had my hair cut since last year at a chain salon which was not a good experience, so it was lovely to sit back and relax knowing I'm in good hands. The end result is exactly what I wanted and what my hair needed!
Thank you again xx

I am very happy with my hair cut by Jessica. The length is fantastic and just what I needed after a very long time away from a salon. I was also very impressed with the safety measures they put in place. Everyone was in PPE and all explained to me once I entered reception. The salon is also very eco-friendly and has a very calm relaxed atmosphere.

Hannah went above and beyond to make sure we achieved the colour I wanted but equally making sure the condition of my hair wasn’t ruined. Hannah took her time & I didn’t feel rushed at all. Lovely first experience in the salon after COVID-19! Thankyou Hannah & girls

I was rather anxious trying a new salon as well as the new experience of wearing a face mask in the salon, however I needed not be. Hannah and her team had made the salon and the experience very safe and I felt extremely comfortable in the spacious clean environment. I showed Hannah a picture of how I would like my hair cut to resemble, however I had some short layers cut in by a previous stylist which would impact on the overall cut...that's what I thought, but with Hannah's expert cutting skills she managed to produce exactly what I wanted! I am now more than happy to return to Dawsons Hair for future hair treatments....Highly Recommend. Just one more thing, Hannah is really personable, caring and lovely to talk to too!

I initially started coming to Dawson’s for Sophie’s outstanding massages, but have since tried all different services and have been very impressed with the results and the delivery of them all.

So pleased to hear from the lovely Sophie Cummins that Dawson’s were open for pedicures. Made an appointment for Saturday morning - met at the door by Sophie who explained all the rules to enable me to have my long awaited pedi. She never disappoints - after an hour of foot soak, clipping, filing and removing 4 months of hard skin (bless her she really worked hard for her money this time) and then applying one of the amazing sparkly gels that she had ordered over the lockdown I eventually chose one of the purple glitters. I left feeling amazing and can finally show off my trotters again in strappy sandals. Thanks Soph ?
