Bridgette Ellwood Hair, Make Up & Beauty Lounge

Bridgette is the best hairdresser I’ve ever been to. I’ve had a bob for 35 years and no one has cut it as well as Bridgette does. I get compliments regularly about the quality of the cut. The salon is lovely too, easy to get to with parking right outside. Far better than going in to town to one of the corporate hairdressers. Treat yourself and book a cut with Bridgette! You won’t regret it. Jayne Mullan

Bridgette and Ella are geniuses! Ella colour-matched my extensions perfectly and Bridgette's expert hand trimmed them so they look 100% natural. I cannot be more pleased with the result and look forward to when they're at my Big Day for hair and make up. Cannot recommend this salon enough!

I love my hair cut by Bridgette. My hair was cut in the weird way before, but Bridgette manage to fix it. I’d highly recommend her, not only she’s talented, she’s also lovely and funny to be with.

Bridgette takes the time and interest to tailor the haircut to your lifestyle and personality. i have thick coarse hair, and Bridgette does a really high quality sculpted cut that lasts for around 8 weeks. Bridgette loves and takes pride in what she does and always makes you feel special when in her chair! If you are thinking about going here, I would encourage you to take advantage of the introductory offer and give it a go!

Bridgette has the genuine knowledge and cutting skills that are very rare to find and seem to be lacking from many award winning chain salons. She styled my hair to be flattering, and easy to manage. It looks good whether I leave it to dry or spend more time on it. Best cut I’ve had in years - I am thrilled and had a few compliments from folk you’d not expect to have noticed. An added bonus is her availability to work around my schedule. Excellent.

Saw a post on Facebook for a discounted price copper hair dye in exchange for social media pics. Organised to have my hair dyed with Ella and took the day off work. Then I was outside the salon on the day and after messaging her that I had arrived, she told me her stepdaughter had chicken pox so couldn’t make it but had messaged me the night before (which I hadn’t received?). We rearranged for the Thursday after but she then text me on the Wednesday thinking this was the day we had arranged? It wasn’t, so Thursdays appointment had to be rearranged for a later time again and I changed my plans to suit this. Thursday arrived and an hour before I was going to leave for my appointment Ella messaged me saying a truck had overturned infront of her house and that there was no possible way she could get to the salon?! She then sent me two photos of the over turned truck which I recognised from a News story from September (the month before?!). I’m not sure why all this happened or why she didn’t just cancel tbh? But it wasted multiple days worth of my time and now I’ve gone elsewhere. Super unreliable and sadly dishonest.

6 weeks after having my haircut, my hair still looks great. The thing I love best about Bridgette’s cuts are the longevity of the cut, my hair has a tendency to be very flat. Bridgette always puts body and movement in my hair and her salon is an oasis of calm. I really can’t imagine going anywhere else.
