Chester’s Best Hair Salon: Why Choose Hannah Walsh Hair

When I first opened the doors to our salon in Newtown, Chester, five years ago, I had a very clear vision: to create a space that offered the high-end expertise of a big-city salon, but with the warm, personal feel of a local favourite.

Today, as an Official L’Oréal Professionnel Stockist and a specialist in precision cutting and colour, I’m often asked what makes us stand out in such a historic city full of talented hairdressers. If you’re searching for the best hair salon in Chester, here is a little bit about why our clients keep coming back to Egerton Street.

1. Expertise You Can Trust

With over 22 years in the industry, I’ve dedicated my career to mastering the craft of hair. I am a qualified L’Oréal Colour Specialist, which is one of the highest accolades in the industry. Whether you’re looking for a bespoke balayage, a complete colour correction, or a classic, luminous blonde, you’re in the safest possible hands. We don’t believe in “one size fits all”—every appointment begins with a thorough consultation to ensure your look suits your lifestyle, skin tone, and personality.

2. A Contemporary Escape in the Heart of Chester

Our salon isn’t hidden away in a busy shopping centre; we’re located in a beautiful, light-filled space in Newtown, just a few minutes’ stroll from Chester city centre. We’ve designed the salon to be a “creative home”—somewhere you can properly relax, away from the hustle and bustle of Eastgate Street. From our sleek, modern decor to our friendly atmosphere, we want your visit to be the highlight of your week.

3. Professional Products, Professional Results

Being an Official L’Oréal Partner means we use and stock the very best. From Absolut Repair Molecular to the iconic Serioxyl range, we only use products that genuinely improve the health of your hair. Because we are an official stockist right here in Chester city centre, you can also take that salon-fresh feeling home with you by shopping our professional range off the shelf.

4. Perfect for Chester Occasions

Living in such a vibrant city, we know our clients often have a busy social calendar! From Chester Race Days to graduation ceremonies at the Cathedral or weddings at the Town Hall, we specialise in styling that lasts. Our curly blow-dries and elegant up-dos are legendary for staying perfect from the first glass of bubbly to the last dance.

5. We Value Your Time

We understand that life in Chester is busy, which is why we offer three late nights a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday). Whether you’re popping in after work or need a weekend transformation, our team—including our fantastic young stylist Tia—is here to make sure you leave looking and feeling your absolute best.
