Gender neutral hair salon
Our clients simply pay for a hair service based on our time and expertise, not their gender

Hair Is Hair
As we see it, hair is hair. Whether it’s long or short, fine or curly, male, female or non-binary, it doesn’t matter to us. What does matter is that we want to make you look and feel your best.
We also want to nurture inclusivity and an inclusive environment. That’s why our clients simply pay for a hair service based on our time and expertise, not their gender.
It’s not uncommon for women to rock a pixie cut, or men to enjoy long locks, so a gender-neutral pricing approach makes the hair salon experience fairer for all.
We support diversity
Melissa Timperley was one of the first salons in Manchester to take a stand in support of diversity and introduce gender-neutral pricing across all our hair services.
As a leading salon in Manchester city centre, we couldn’t be more proud to introduce gender-neutral pricing.
We know how important a new hair cut, colour or unique style is to your self-expression – and we don’t believe our clients should be tied down to an outdated and unfair gender-biased pricing system.
Here’s to a supportive, more inclusive salon environment for all.

It's all about you
Your hair is unique, and so is our approach. That’s why every appointment starts with our 3Cs consultation – Cut, Colour, and Condition to find the perfect shade and style for you.
Colour isn’t one-size-fits-all.
The result depends on your hair’s current shade, condition, and texture. Whether you’re after brighter balayage, a soft natural blend, or a bold transformation, your hair colourist will create a colour that enhances your look.
If you frequently colour your hair and need a complete refresh, we also specialise in colour correction.
We take a personal approach to hairdressing and consider every detail, from skin tone to texture, ensuring your hair shines with dimension and depth - so you leave feeling confident, refreshed, and truly looked after.
We’re recognised for exceptional hairdressing and customer care, winning Salon Team of the Year at the recent British Hairdressing Business Awards.
