Welcome To Olive & Orchard Hair & Beauty Salon in Stanley, County Durham 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! I honestly couldn’t recommend Blake enough! This was my first time having my hair coloured, and I went in knowing I wanted a change, but not necessarily knowing exactly what would suit me. I actually loved my natural hair and colour, but af...ter pregnancy, postpartum changes and a few greys making an appearance, I just fancied a bit of a lift and something different. A little bit of oomph back! From the very beginning, Blake was amazing. He listened to what I wanted, took the time to look at my natural colour, skin tone and eye colour, and talked me through what he thought would work best. I’d originally considered highlights, but he explained why a subtle all-over colour would be a lovely starting point, especially as I’d never dyed my hair before. I completely trusted his judgement, and I’m so glad I did! Throughout the appointment, Blake explained what he was doing and why, which I really appreciated. He was knowledgeable, professional and genuinely lovely. The finished result was everything I wanted and more. The colour, cut, shaping and fringe are absolutely perfect! The salon itself was gorgeous too. Such a welcoming, friendly and relaxing atmosphere. And the little extras made the experience even better! A reclining massage chair while having my hair washed, followed by a lovely warm scented eye mask while my toner was on. Absolute bliss! I left feeling fantastic, with exactly the little boost I’d been looking for. I even told Blake he was the God of Hair, and I stand by that! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely be back! ❤️ read more

Another excellent cut and colour with Blake. This guy knows his stuff and I always walk away having had a great experience.

I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else! Blake at Olive & Orchard is absolutely incredible. He somehow knows my hair better than I know it myself I completely trust his judgement and always let him work his magic. My hair had become so thin, fragile and broken, and Blake has completely transformed it....I’m in love with my gorgeous, rich brunette colour with beautiful hints of blonde balayage woven through it. It looks healthier, fuller and feels like my hair again. And then there’s the experience… Blake is absolutely hilarious. I get my own concert at the basin, a good giggle throughout my appointment, and a full TV show review from my seat! Honestly, what more could you ask for? He really listens, knows what will suit you and somehow always manages to make your hair look better than you imagined it could. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. ❤️ read more

Been coming to Olive and Orchard for around six months for regular haircuts. Can’t recommend Blake enough. Wouldn’t go anywhere else now!

Sam has completely transformed my hair! The colour is perfect, and my hair feels so soft and beautifully conditioned. Even after washing it at home, it still looks amazing. I couldn’t be happier—thank you, Sam! Highly recommend!

Great experience with Sam. I’ve been coming for my last 3 colour treatments. Sam is very knowledgeable and listens to my goals. The salon itself gives a great spa like experience - the massage chairs, heated eye masks and ability to order food from the main restaurant are great perks. Thank you Sam!... Xx read more

Blake has been my hairdresser for a year now and has transformed my hair into something beautiful. He is a good listener and always pays close attention to what you are asking for. He discusses the cut, the colour and the style you want it blow dried in at each appointment while offering his expert...opinion about what he thinks will suit you best. He is clearly passionate about what he does and takes a real pride in his work. I am always receiving compliments from friends and colleagues about my hair and it has never felt or looked better. I look forward to our appointments and I would happily recommend his services to everyone! read more

We absolutely love our visits to see Sam at Olive and Orchard! My 2 year old has been coming for his haircuts for a few months now, and the difference in his confidence is lovely to see.

I used to say “I wish I could leave my hair at the salon and collect it 3 hours later” because it always felt like a waste of my time THEN I DISCOVERED OLIVE & ORCHARD The calm, relaxing atmosphere, decor and vibe under Julie’s management is first class and feels very ‘High end’ but without any of t...he pretentiousness or judgement that usually comes with a high end salon. Blake is a breath of fresh air! Very talented, great craic and 100% committed to ensuring his clients are delighted with results.

I had a long hair style cut and style with Blake. Totally thrilled with the results and have had so many lovely comments. Great location and a cup of tea and a wee piece of cake too! I felt very well taken care of. Have re-booked.

Had nails done for a wedding, they were great

10/10 experience every time! Blake is an absolute wizard and works wonders for my hair, such a funny, genuine diva who makes you feel so at ease! Beautiful salon and always a lovely atmosphere
