About us

Hatstand Nelly was created in August 2004 to offer hairdressing with a difference.

It's not just about the cut or colour, although these are delivered with the utmost professionalism. It's also about the total salon experience. Great customer care and individual style advice for individual people, creating great looking hair from brave and bold to silky and smooth.

We listen to you to give you hair that fits in with your lifestyle, is most definitely 'you' and looks great between visits - not just when you leave the salon.

Our aim is to enhance the good stuff and tame the bad stuff!

Our Juice Bar offers fresh blended smoothies, juices as well as Fairtrade coffees & teas while you're here - or just pop in if you're passing to sit in or take away.

Jeni at LiShic Beauty is also based here to help with all your beauty needs - from waxing & make-up to Dermaplaning and Epi 3D brows.

Legitimately terrible with names so I'm so sorry to the stylist, that bad is on me, however - I have a mohawk and I've not been to a salon who expresses as much care and precision, and a stylist who takes in my thoughts. The entire experience was friendly, welcoming and comfortable and the stylist and I had a great chat while they were working too. When my hair needs done again, I'll be coming back without a doubt

As always, you take every precaution to keep everyone safe, so for that, I can't thank you enough.
Now - my hair............I needed a wee change to my hairstyle and I came in armed as always with some ideas which Louise and I discussed and she explained which would suit me best. I now have a chunky layered look which I absolutely love (I only wish Louise could see my big smile under my mask).....
You guys are the best.............

This was my first haircut since lock down, so wasn't sure what to expect, but to say I was pleasantly suprised is an understatement. The staff are all very welcoming, Charlotte preformed a miracle as my hair had grown so long in the last 8 months and I had been tying it back for work, we decided that cutting it to shoulder length would make it look better, Im so happy with my new hair style, left the salon feeling a 100%., will be back soon.
