Boilerhouse Hair and Beauty Salon Jesmond

9 Acorn Rd, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, NE2 2DJ

About us

Boilerhouse was born from the creative vision of Kim Le-Neveu and Steve Jones, hairdressing heavyweights with over 30 years salon experience apiece. In their early careers both spent time with Vidal Sassoon, with Steve developing managerial experience at the South Molton Street branch and Kim teaching at the renowned Vidal Sassoon Academy.
The pair then spent 3 years touring the Far East, delivering training seminars on the latest hair techniques and styles. Before returning home the pair spent time in Australia, becoming involved in fashion and photography work for top magazines.
On returning home, Kim and Steve found themselves in great demand; the logical next step was to open their own premises. Boilerhouse opened its doors in Newcastle in 1985 and rapidly established a well-earned reputation as a leading salon in the region.
Boilerhouse has since gone from strength to strength, with Kim as the head stylist / trainer and Steve taking on the role of full-time salon manager. The salon has consistently proved to be a hit both with customers and within the fashion world. The team are regularly involved in fashion events, with Boilerhouse cuts and styles being published in most major national and international hair magazines.

Rubbish

I came in asking for length of my hair and my bangs redone. I left with a square on my forehead and curled hair (my “bangs” were not curled for some reason?) and I paid £60. This is ridiculous, a joke and I’m appalled with the expenses compared to the service quality. I will NEVER be coming back; the woman styling my hair completely ignored my requests to leave my bangs long enough to tuck behind my ears and instead gave me a recreation of my 2021 lockdown fringe. I’m completely devastated and I want my hair back.

I have been coming to Jo for a number of years and I love her enthusiasm for what she does. She always takes him to listen to your cut/colour thoughts, but is great at offering her own advice (which is always spot on!). She had some really helpful suggestions about a colour change this visit and I am totally delighted with the results. Thank you so much, from another Jo!

Excellent customer service today from Izzie and your junior stylist team. I don’t know the name of the lovely girl who usually washes my hair, but she’s always very gentle, patient, and personable! Lovely to see Felix in person today too. He’s very professional and gave a great first impression. (I’m awful at writing reviews!) Best of luck and thanks again!

I'd hears great things from friends, and was excited to treat myself to a haircut as I can't afford it often. I told my stylist that I was growing out a mullet and wanted it tidied up and thinned out. But all she heard was mullet so cut one back in. Several times I said I don't want a mullet and she said yes that's fine, but continued to cut it in. She also didn't listen to what I was saying generally as she was asking me about myself and kept assuming I was a university student to which I said I wasn't, then 10 mins later asked me what I studied at university. She was obviously distracted and after several times trying to correct her I just accepted that she'd cut my hair as she did and it was too late, and I'm not the person to make a fuss in the moment but I would suggest making sure you listen to your customers about what they want and checking in. I understand my stylist was probably distracted but when paying up to £50 for a professional haircut I'd expect to be listened to at least.

She gave me great advice about the hair products I use and how I can manage my hair better. She talked me through doing my hair myself, in a really easy to understand way. The salon is gorgeous and everyone that I spoke to was super friendly and helpful.
