Priory Hair Company | An Multi-Winning Salon in the Heart of Town

Tucked away on Bridge Street in Christchurch town centre, Priory Hair Company is an award-winning independent salon bringing together hair, nails and lashes in a friendly, relaxed setting.

Hair is at the heart of Priory, with the team specialising in colour, cutting and hair extensions and taking a considered approach built around personal consultations, honest advice and maintaining healthy hair.

Alongside its hair services, clients can also visit for nail and lash treatments, making Priory something of a hidden gem for hair and beauty in Christchurch.

One of the things Priory is particularly proud of is the close-knit team behind the salon, with different members bringing their own skills and specialisms while working together to create a welcoming, personal experience.

That team has also earned recognition well beyond Christchurch. At the 2026 Hair & Beauty Awards, Priory was named 3rd Best Salon Team in the UK, 6th Best Hair Salon in the UK and 7th Best Colour Salon in the UK.

Continued education is an important part of the salon's approach, with the team regularly developing their skills and keeping up with new techniques while supporting one another along the way.

It's this combination of professional expertise and a genuinely close team atmosphere that gives Priory much of its character.

Colour is one of Priory's key specialisms, covering everything from balayage and blonding to foils, glossing and colour transformations.

The team trains continuously with Wella, while professional ranges including Wella, Kérastase and Balmain are used within the salon.

Consultation plays an important role, with the team considering a client's existing hair, its condition, previous treatments and the amount of maintenance they're comfortable with before deciding on the right approach.

Priory also specialises in natural-looking hair extensions, with consultations covering everything from the condition of the natural hair and shade matching to the most suitable method, maintenance and aftercare.

Professional cutting and styling complete the salon's core hair offering, whether you're visiting for regular maintenance, a restyle or something completely new.

There's more happening at Priory than hair alone.

The salon is also home to nail and lash treatments, with different members of the team bringing their own beauty specialisms to the space.

It makes Priory a convenient place to visit for several treatments while retaining the personal feel of an independent salon rather than a large beauty destination.

Located in the heart of Christchurch town centre, Priory brings together an award-winning team, specialist hair expertise and beauty treatments in a stylish and welcoming salon that has plenty to discover beyond its doors.

That reputation is reflected in the salon's five-star customer reviews, where clients regularly highlight the professionalism of the team, warm and welcoming atmosphere, stylish salon aesthetic and considerate approach to individual needs.

The atmosphere is friendly, personal and unrushed, with the team taking time to understand what each client wants rather than simply following the latest trend. It's an approach that helps explain why clients speak so positively about both their results and the experience of visiting the salon.

With its award-winning team, specialist colour and extension expertise, nails and lashes, there's considerably more behind Priory's doors than you might realise from passing by.

And with national recognition and glowing client feedback already to its name, this Christchurch hidden gem is becoming increasingly difficult to keep secret.
