Best Hair Salons near me in Newtown and St Leonard's, Exeter

Lovely clean salon. Lauren was very nice and polite and offered coffee and snacks! She has a very high skill set and did a fantastic job on my hair considering it was blue and black split dye going to red and black all over! Would definitely recommend 👌

Charlie was so lovely and welcoming and I really appreciated his honesty when I showed the style of cut I wanted! He was honest and we were able to adapt my cut around what style I was aiming for! Not many hairdressers will let you know what will suit your face shape etc so it was lovely that Charlie wanted to ensure I left the salon feeling a looking my best! Will definitely be returning thankyou 🫶

It’s always a pleasure visiting the salon. The atmosphere is great, I go in feeling super confident and I always come away feeling happy with the results! What more could you want. I even travel from Bristol to Exeter just to have Dori look after my hair :) she’s amazing!

Lauren is so welcoming. The salon was warm and cosy on a freezing day. Not only did I receive coffee and biscuits but also advice and suggestions to deal with alopecia. I was really pleased with my hair cut as always and felt I had had a proper pamper. Thank you Lauren see you again soon.

Extremely happy after just one visit. I had a few not-so-good experiences at other salons, but now I can definitely say I found my place. I am a curly girly with thinning hair and here I found a professional who treats customers with extreme care, puts in an effort to get to know your routine and gives advice what and how to improve.

I visited after I had a haircut from a different salon that I was unhappy with, and Katie was fantastic. She really listened to what I wanted and took her time, and I’m so pleased with the result.

Lovely experience, we arrived early and was seen in between appointments as they had an empty slot. My son loves Charlie cutting his hair. Friendly and quick. Thank you. The salon is always very clean and tidy and free from any hazards.

Sophia was fantastic and we will definitely be returning. My daughter was so happy with her hair. I was blown away with how she managed to fix what another hairdresser had ruined she definitely worked her magic and I cannot thank her enough we have definitely found our forever hairdresser. The salon was clean and tidy and we felt very welcome. We absolutely would recommend.

Ashleigh did a fantastic job making me feel comfortable and helping me figure out my style. I feel so much happier and more like myself after my haircut! The price was very reasonable too. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a more personalised service or who might be a bit nervous going to a salon otherwise.

Always lovely to visit Sophia’s hair salon

Lauren is the best hairdresser I have ever visited and the salon is wonderful!

Honestly THE best haircut I’ve ever had, thank you so much Ashleigh! I’m normally quite an anxious person and find haircuts very overwhelming, however I was put at such ease, even allowed to play my own music in the salon which made me so happy. :) Ashleigh is the most wonderful person and hairdresser - before this appointment id been cutting my own hair for years and it was a bit of a mess & this haircut (mid length wolf cut) gave me a huge & instant confidence boost !! Genuinely so happy with the outcome and the price, thank you thank you.

This salon is just fabulous. Both David and Tracy have cut my hair now and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the results.

Clare is the best hairdresser, she’s always does an amazing job with my hair.The salon is gorgeous and always very clean. I don't think I could ever get my hair done anywhere else!

So nice to have a salon not charge based of my sex, and people who understand your relationship with hair as a queer person. Love my new hair, definitely coming back! <3

Truly a lovely experience. Today is the 3rd time I've visited Lauren at the salon & at last I've found a hairdresser who listens & produces the exact look I've been searching for! She's definitely a keeper! So pleased with the colour & cut today. A really nice atmosphere in the salon overall, too. Thank you so much Lauren. 😇

Clare was absolutely brilliant with my daughter who needed a cut before returning to school. My daughter said it’s the best hair cut she’s ever had and left the salon beaming! Clare nailed it and we shall be returning. A gorgeous salon with lovely river views, highly recommend.

So happy with my hair cut with Tara . First time in a long time that I left a hair salon really pleased with my hair cut and felt great . So glad I have finally found a fantastic hair dresser and salon .

l had a really fantastic haircut with Fern. Would definitely recommend this salon 😊

I was late arriving at my appointment due to traffic (I was stressed!) but from the moment I stepped into the salon I felt welcome, calm and relaxed. Lou was just so genuinely lovely and has the most infectious energy! The whole experience was fantastic, I left with a stunning cut and colour and my hair was soft and shiny from the treatments. I literally felt a million dollars. I needed a boost and the whole team made that happen. I'm very grateful 😊
