Nichares Hairdressing, Taunton's Top-rated Hair Salon - Experience Our Luxury Salon Experience & The Best In Hair Transformations

“Nichares isn’t just about another routine hair appointment, it’s about giving you the knowledge, time & expertise to have sexy hair all year round.” - Cam

What’s really important to me is your experience. Great hair of course is a given, but my goal is for you to fall in love with your time with us.

Specialising in major transformations does come with long appointments, so we’re here to make sure you feel super indulged every step of the way.

From massage chairs to our fully-licensed bar (p.s the first ever one in Taunton!) it’s fair to say that we have thought of every last detail.

Traditional salon’s with staff in black uniforms & only coffee on the menu just isn’t us. Think indulgent cocktail bar, great vibes & a space where you can truly relax if you’re a ‘picture it’ person.

Of course, I couldn’t do what I do without a truly incredible team behind me. They’ve all been trained to the highest standard, in fact before anyone starts working with our fantastic clients we retain them from scratch to ensure they deliver to our high standard EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Taunton’s ultimate luxury salon experience

 FAQ’s

  • When doing colour or extension work you must book a consultation before your appointment. Speaking to one of our friendly expert stylists we can be super clear on your hair version and the services we need to do in order to achieve this. For example, we may discover a different technique you want to book to achieve your desired result (e.g balayage rather than highlights, half head vs full head), or we can allot extra time if your hair is particularly thick / long etc. It also means we can ensure we are a good fit for you and vice versa!

  • We don’t have any parking just for Nichares however we recommend parking at Taunton Canon Street or Taunton Wood Street car park which is a short walk from the salon. There is a loading bay right outside if you’re lucky enough to get dropped off at your appointment.

  • The salon is open to 8pm every Tuesday and Thursday to help you find an appointment that works for your lifestyle. We also open every Saturday!

  • We totally understand that you want to find out a price before you go ahead. That’s why we offer a consultation (with a Reservation fee of just £1!) before committing to any appointments so we can’t only find out more about you and your hair goals but we can also give you an accurate quote for the best services to achieve your desired look. If you looking for a guide check out out ‘menu’ page.

  • Nichares isn’t currently taking on any new clients under 10years old.

  • Sadly we can’t accommodate any extra people during your appointment. The salon runs at full capacity and therefore due to health and safety reasons and to ensure all of our clients get the very best experience possible we don’t have the space to accommodate any plus ones. If you are nursing or have special requirements for your appointment please email us ahead of time so we can make arrangements for you at enquiries@nichares.co.uk 

  • Yes! There are two ways you can buy gift cards, you can get a physical gift card in store or you can purchase one by visiting the ‘gift voucher’ page.


  • We’re totally happy to advise you on your hair journey, however it does help us if you have a clear idea on the outcome you’re dreaming of. It’s always great to bring a couple inspiration images of your desired look! If you’re struggling we recommend bringing in some pictures of what you don’t like so we know exactly what to avoid. Some client come in having an idea already, some would prefer more guidance. Both are great and you’re in safe hands.

  • The easiest way to move your appointment is by phoning reception on 01823-275599. Appointments can be rescheduled up to 48 hrs before your booking, if you need to cancel or move your appointment within 48hrs before you there will be a charge of 50%. 

  • If you are having a colour service, you will need to come into the salon for a skin test and consultation at least 48 hrs before your appointment to ensure there is no reaction to the product. This is to keep you safe, you can reserve your consultation and skin test online.

Don’t just take our word for it…

    Over the last 2 years my hair journey has been an amazing adventure, without Laura I would never have dreamed my hair would be this amazing. From prosecco to coffee, the atmosphere is lush and I could not imagine going anywhere else. Everyone is so friendly and they always have the biggest smiles to greet everyone with. Thankyou Nichares for the best hair care and experience every visit I make.

Every visit is relaxing and my every need is catered for. I can’t imagine going anywhere else! Thankyou Nichares team for doing what you do best! I love being part of your journey.

    I love coming to Nichares for so many reasons. Firstly, I feel like I’m going to meet friends for a coffee and a chat, is the highlight (pardon the pun!) of my day.
    The team are all exceptional, Laura knows exactly what works well for my hair & I always leave happy. I have never had so many compliments on my hair.
    The added bonus of drinks & snacks makes all the difference, but mostly is just the vibe! Thanks team!

    Amazing staff, they are all so lovely and accommodating. Great service on the highest level. Absolutely the best salon I have been to. The salon itself is well equipped and always super clean. One of my favourite parts is the head and back massage. Thanks for making me feel beautiful. Today i have got my routine appointment – refresh colour, refitting my extensions and add one more pack of extensions… And I am enjoying my birthday with Nichares delicious cocktails.

What truly sets them apart is their ability to understand and cater to their clients specific wants and needs, ensuring that every haircut is nothing short of perfection.

    Kizzy

    I started coming to Nichares after moving to the area and needing to find a new local salon. After looking online and at social media I decided this was the best fit for me. When I had my first consultation I felt really comfortable and confident with my choice. I like coming here as there is always a super relaxed environment. Every member is friendly and easy to talk to within the salon. All of your wants are talked through fully and there’s always brilliant suggestions on how to keep my hair troubles at bay and keep up the freshness at home. Never feel rushed, always lots of care taken & the salon, knowledge & products is always up to date!

    I started coming to Nichares 2/3 years ago and have never looked back, even after moving out of Taunton. My first appointment with Laura was amazing. I was made to feel welcome and a part of the Nichares family immediately. I look forward to every appointment and catching up. From the prosecco to the massage chairs to the A* service, every appointment is one to look forward to.
