About us

When Kim Le-Neveu and Steve Jones opened the doors at Boilerhouse Jesmond way back in 1985, who could’ve predicted that business would be such a success and that hairdressing would very much become the family trade?

Now over 30 years on, after much renovation and expansion at the Jesmond site, and with son Felix and niece Saskia a firm part of the team the time has come to branch out with a brand new Boilerhouse to add to the family!

Felix certainly inherited his parent’s passion for business and hairdressing and has long dreamed of opening a new site for Boilerhouse. Now, alongside cousin Saskia and a small, hand-picked team, this dream has become a reality and the new generation of Boilerhouse has been born.

My sister and I have had a fabulous afternoon at ‘The BoilerHouse, Ouseburn’. We both had highlights and lowlights by the lovely Hope and Saskia. We were welcomed to the salon by Elle who was so friendly and professional. We felt very well cared for throughout our visit and love our hair, particularly my fantastic bouncy blow dry by Elle. We will most definitely be back. Thank you all so much for getting us wedding ready in time for this weekend! Grace & Sophie x

***** was great. And we discussed a new style. I emphasised that I wanted to keep the length at the front. I also warned that my hair sori ha up a lot when it drys. I have gone from having low maintenance shoulder length hair, to ear length hair which requires styling every morning. I have never styled my hair. It’s curly! I’m terrified, about the wedding I am going to tomorrow and I want to cry every time I look in the mirror.

Hi Jessica, we are so sorry you are not happy with your new haircut. We will offer you a free haircut on your next visit with a different stylist to try and compensate for your bad experience. Please mention this when booking. Kind regards Boilerhouse

I thoroughly enjoyed my treatments , but was told before I booked that beauty treatments, like gel nails, we’re on half price!? I paid full price when I got to check out , and was more than surprised ! I am always on tight budget and this was a treat for me at half price ! Absolute extravagance I should not have had at full price ! Hannah was very professional and did s good job considering work space .

Hi Barbara. We are sorry you got a nasty surprise regraded the price of your beauty treatments. We only offer 50% on gel nails and no other beauty treatments currently so we aren’t sure how somebody got that wrong. We will be running different beauty offers every month when we expand upstairs soon so keep an eye out for this. Kind regards Boilerhouse

Felix was recommended by my brother in law,he’s in the business.

I first had my hair cut here about 9 months ago,it was simply the best haircut I’d had.

I have been going back ever since,I’ve used other well known longer established salons prior but I honestly don’t think they have a patch on Felix.

The staff are professional but more importantly friendly

The salon has a very friendly warm atmosphere,there not up themselves at all.

Possibly a bit more expensive but like everything else in line...YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

I would 100% recommend you try this place,you won’t regret it.
