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.

Charlotte’s cut and finish is fabulous. She made me feel relaxed and gave me a beautiful new style that was long overdue. Even after a long time away the salon remembered me and this made the service feel special. They have managed to make the environment feel safe in covid times which helped make me feel relaxed.

✨Hatstand Nelly is my new go-to hairdressers! ✨

The service from everyone in the salon could not be faulted. Leah was really friendly and chatty, and able to discuss with me / make suggestions so I ended up with exactly what I was looking for.

With respect to current COVID -19 guidelines, the on-going effort being put in by the staff to ensure the salon was being kept clean was very much evident , and customers were always distanced from one another.

Left with hair that looked (and smelt) great. Will definitely be back!!?

I’m not one for frequenting hairdressers often - I had 17 inches cut on this visit to donate to the Little Princess Trust - but this salon and the staff I encountered eased my anxieties and offered an excellent experience. I was made to feel welcome and comfortable; and my ideas for a restyle were listened to. I’d definitely visit again once my hair has grown and we are back to ‘normal’ - although wearing a mask throughout my visit wasn’t a problem. Thank you!
