We're incredibly proud that Priory Hair Company has been nationally recognised at the 2026 Hair & Beauty Awards, including:
Our team has also been individually recognised for excellence within the industry.
For a relatively young salon, that recognition means a huge amount to us. But the awards aren't simply something to put on the wall. They reflect what we've been building at Priory from the beginning: talented stylists, continual education, exceptional client care and, ultimately, really good hair.

“Recently moved from London and felt apprehensive about finding a new salon that is confident in blonde hair. Katy at the priory has exceeded all my expectations and at half the price I was paying for in London! The salon itself is beautiful, everyone is so friendly and welcoming and there’s a lovely atmosphere. The coffee and biscuits are dreamy and the complimentary wifi means I can still work whilst getting my hair done! Fully recommend!”
“Been getting my hair done by Immi for a while now at priory, the salon is absolutely stunning, staff are so welcoming and the atmosphere is just amazing!! My hair is perfect every single time. The products they use are incredible too; oh and you can buy all your hair needs in salon before you leave!! 😍 I have never been to a salon like Priory 🤍”

Who we are
At Priory Hair Company, we believe great hair should feel as good as it looks. We’re a luxury salon specialising in colour, cutting and hair extensions, known for our calm approach, high standards and commitment to healthy, wearable hair.
Whether you’re here for a subtle refresh or a full transformation, every appointment is considered, personal and designed around you.
We believe that Hair health isn’t a trend for us it’s a non-negotiable.
Every service begins with a consultation, where we listen carefully, assess your hair honestly and create a plan that works for both your goals and your lifestyle.
We choose gentle techniques, premium products and realistic maintenance plans so your hair stays strong, glossy and wearable between appointments.
Why choose us
Finding a new hair salon can feel like a gamble.
You might spend hours looking through Instagram, reading reviews and searching for the best hair salon in Christchurch, only to wonder if you'll actually walk out with the hair you were hoping for.
That's exactly why Priory Hair Company was created.
We believe beautiful hair starts long before the colour is mixed or the scissors come out. It starts with listening. Every appointment begins with a thorough consultation where we take the time to understand not just your hair, but your lifestyle, your routine and what you want your hair to do for you every day.
Whether you're visiting us for a subtle refresh, a complete colour transformation or luxury hair extensions, our approach is always the same: healthy hair comes first.
Colour designed around you
As an award-winning hair salon in Christchurch, Dorset, we specialise in creating colour that looks effortless, grows out beautifully and keeps your hair feeling as healthy as possible.
We don't believe in chasing trends that compromise your hair or recommending services you don't need. Instead, we focus on creating beautiful, wearable hair that suits you.
Our colour specialists work with everything from soft blondes and lived-in balayage to rich brunettes, glossy coppers and complete colour corrections.
Every colour appointment is tailored to your hair's condition, previous colour history and long-term goals, because no two clients — or heads of hair — are ever the same.
Seamless, natural-looking hair extensions
We're also known for our seamless hair extensions.
Whether you're looking for extra length, more volume or simply want to feel more confident in your hair, we'll guide you through the options honestly.
We'll only recommend extensions if they're right for your hair, and we'll show you how to care for them properly so they remain comfortable, natural-looking and long-lasting.
Healthy hair comes first
Hair health sits at the heart of everything we do.
That's why we've chosen to partner with Kérastase, using professional products and personalised in-salon treatments to help keep your hair strong, shiny and healthy between appointments.

We’re proud to be trusted with hair that matters.
“So happy with my hair extensions its the first time I've tried them following a bad hair cut from another hairdressers plus to resolve hair thinning issues from going through the menopause. Katy was so helpful and gave lots of advice and options. She added a few to see what I thought before adding more which I thought was a great approach. The end result was that I now have really thick hair that blends in with my existing hair and no signs of any tapes.”
“Lovely visit such friendly staff. Thank you for curling my hair to the young apprentice. Chatty and friendly throughout and good value for money. Really welcoming salon! Will be my regular hairdresser when we move to Christchurch.”
“I visited for my first time and have been thrilled with my cut and blowdry. I have received many compliments and friends wanting the salon details which I have forwarded to them. You will see me again shortly.”
“I love this salon. Fantastic staff, amazing hair care and great styling.”
