Melissa Timperley Hair Salon

With a bunch of prestigious awards to its name, Melissa Timperley Hair Salon is one of the top places to go for haircare in Manchester. 

Owner Melissa has a national profile as a hairdresser – judging competitions, scooping up accolades, and appearing on TV. As such, you’ll struggle to get an appointment with her in person – but you’ll be in good hands with any of her stylists (some of whom are Sassoon-trained like herself).

The pre-cut chat here goes a little deeper than you might find at other salons – a 15-minute consultation ensures that you get a hairstyle you love and, equally importantly, can maintain on a day-to-day basis. 

We like their gender neutral pricing policy (one of the first in Manchester) and their enthusiasm for cutting mature people’s hair rather than solely focusing on the youthful NQ crowd. If you’re an older lady looking for a sharp, non-frumpy cut, head here. It’s a testament to their skills that this salon’s fans range from twenty-something models to stylish septuagenarians and beyond.
