Why Elowen
Unhurried, honest, and always your call.
We opened as a two-chair salon above a Bedford Place shopfront and grew the slow way — by listening properly at the consultation and never talking anyone into a colour they'd regret by Friday.
Today we're nine stylists and therapists across three treatment spaces. Same door, same standards: you get the same person each visit, and you'll never be moved along because the next booking has arrived.
- Patch and strand tests as standard. Every colour and tint client is tested at least 48 hours beforehand — no exceptions, however tight the timeline.
- Time in the chair, properly booked. Appointments are scheduled for the treatment you're actually having, so nothing gets rushed at the finish.
- Honest product advice. We'll tell you when the shampoo you already own is fine. Everything on our shelves is vegan and cruelty-free.
What clients say
Kind words from around Southampton.
A few recent notes from clients across Bedford Place, Portswood, Ocean Village and Chandler's Ford.
“I came in with a photo and a lot of nerves about going lighter. Chloe talked me out of half of it, did the rest beautifully, and my hair still feels like hair. First salon I've rebooked in years.”
“Booked a 90-minute aromatherapy ritual as a birthday treat for my mum and ended up booking one for myself on the way out. The back room is so quiet you forget you're two minutes from the high street.”
“I get my BIAB done every four weeks and it's the one hour a month that's genuinely mine. They remember what I had last time without me having to explain it again.”
