đ 58 High Street, Salisbury SP1 2PF
Sloanes Bespoke Hair first opened in Salisbury back in 1987 and in February 2003 was taken over by Ellie, who was a stylist at the salon at the time. What makes this story even more special is Ellie originally worked at the salon when she was 18. So, when it came up for sale during her second time working there, it felt like an opportunity she couldnât miss. Ellieâs sister Louise soon joined as her Business Partner and today the sisters have two salons. The original salon in Salisbury, located just outside the Salisbury Cathedral gate, as well as a salon on Shaftesburyâs main high street, which they opened in 2011.
Their vision was to create an unpretentious space for stylists to create beautiful hair in an ethical and cruelty-free way. Ellie, Louise and their team offer cutting, styling, colouring, bridal services, extensions, hair spa as well as beauty treatments you can add on to your appointment for a mini spa experience. These include a Gel Manicure, a Vitamin C Glow Facial and the Renew Hand Relief.
Situated in a stunning historic building, the aesthetics of the salon are both calming and welcoming. Ellieâs little four-legged friends, Gloria and Araminta, can often be found trotting around the salon and relaxing in the salonâs beautiful ambiance.
At Sloanes, the team use Aveda products, which are all plant based and naturally derived. Want to use them at home too? The team can recommend which to use and you can purchase them directly in the salon.
All of the colour matching at Sloanes is done bespoke, as their name suggests, so their clients all leave with a completely tailored colour to suit their look. Their stylists are always training and learning to further improve their services and skills, so youâre in safe hands.
Unique to the Salisbury salon is a beautiful yoga and wellness studio on the first floor. Here, Ellie practices Ashtanga yoga three times a week with small groups of up to seven people. As well as the regular classes, Ellie also holds other yoga and wellbeing events in the studio, so be sure to keep an eye on their website for more details of these.
