Flying the flag for hairdressing in Leicester

Since establishing the first high-class boutique hair salon in Leicester back in 1996, Barrie Stephen has grown to become a nationally recognised hairdressing group. Our expert team of hairdressers deliver exceptional hair colouring, cutting and styling, along with outstanding service. Hairdressing is not just about technique, it’s about listening carefully to our clients to gain a deeper understanding of their aspirations, lifestyle and hair ambitions.

A talented team of hairdressers & colour stylists

Creating lasting relationships with our clients is extremely important to us at Barrie Stephen, allowing us to evolve your hair with trust and experience.

Our team understand that working with your natural hair texture is the best way to achieve a luxurious finish. Whether you want a timeless style or a fashion-forward update, a healthy trim or a reshape for a special occasion, our welcoming hairdressers will help you achieve your hair goals.

We understand that hair colouring is an art form. Our colour stylists are experts in all kinds of colour requests, from balayage and babylights, to pastel and bold colour. Our hair stylists are creatively trained to the highest industry standards in all aspects of colouring. We take time to discuss your colour preferences and explain how the process will work, what will and won’t suit your skin tone, as well as discussing hair care to ensure you get results that make you look and feel fabulous.

Love from our clients

Fantastic service by Eelize, absolutely thrilled with the results. Today I went from black hair to a blue balyage, I had been told by another salon this was unachievable. Eelize was far more optimistic after a strand test and did a phenomenal job. She knew exactly what I wanted better than I did myself and executed it to perfection, and somehow my hair actually came out feeling healthier despite the major change. Thanks Eelize, I love my hair!

Top quality service! I’ve now had 2 walk in blow dries which have been excellent

Verity Butlin

Keira gave me an amazing experience, gave a great head massage and the cut and blow dry was exceptional! Definitely recommend her for any service your looking for!

The best hair cut I’ve had for some time and reasonably priced considering what it can cost. A very good experience and I will go back 👍
