For nervous children, thick hair, and anyone who's been let down before. Kelly D's is a warm, unisex salon where every client — from age 5 to 85 — leaves feeling cared for and confident.
Kelly and the team — including Lynsey and Lisa — have built Kelly D's into a salon with a genuinely established clientele. Families come back year after year, and it's not unusual to see three generations of the same family sitting in the chairs, from grandchildren to grandparents.
We understand that not every haircut is straightforward. Nervous children need patience and a gentle hand, and we take real care to make sure they feel comfortable rather than rushed. Thick or difficult hair that other hairdressers have struggled with is exactly the kind of challenge we enjoy getting right — our clients tell us their hair "always looks great" and that's the standard we hold ourselves to.
Kelly D's has always been a proper unisex salon — everyone is welcomed and treated with respect, whatever their age or hair type. It's a friendly, warm atmosphere, and that's precisely why people keep coming back.
Alongside the services below, we offer the full range of general unisex salon services you'd expect — book in and we'll talk through exactly what you need.
Precision cuts and styling suited to your hair type, however thick or fine.
Clean, sharp cuts and fades for every age, from schoolboys to grandads.
A patient, understanding approach for nervous little ones — no rushing, ever.
Foils and full colour work, carefully applied for a beautiful, natural result.
"Great service. We have been coming here for years. Both Kelly and Lynsey are friendly and accommodating. My children are very nervous when having their haircuts but they enjoy coming here as both ladies are so careful and understanding of their needs. I have very thick hair and many hairdressers have not enjoyed cutting my hair. So I come here because my hair always looks great, no complaints about the service at all."
"Always had a very positive and good experience, very polite and friendly and have always cut my hair perfectly and exactly how I want it also provides very helpful information 😊"
