Sunderland’s Top 10 Beauty Salons & Beauty Professionals

The Profile

Sunderland Hair & Beauty occupies a Grangetown address and publishes a local phone number and an email on its website. The salon advertises a combined hair and beauty menu that includes nails, facials, lashes and colour services, presenting itself as a single-location destination for multiple appointment types in Sunderland.

The salon emphasises a personalised approach to styling and skin work, noting that staff tailor trims, vivid colour services, revitalising facials and shellac manicures to individual needs. Specialist treatments named on the site include dermaplaning, microdermabrasion and semi-permanent eyelashes, indicating that hair and advanced beauty therapies are offered together.

The website shows a gallery of finished looks, mentions social channels such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and carries repeated booking prompts inviting clients to check availability. A brief 'Meet the Team' note appears with placeholders for names and the listed phone number and email alongside the gallery support planning for both quick appointments and more complex colour or facial consultations.

Why It Made the List and Why It’s Our Top Pick

Sunderland Hair & Beauty stands out as the city’s most complete single-stop option because it combines routine hair services with an extended beauty roster, including nails, facials, lashes and named specialist skin treatments, all from one Grangetown location. The on-site gallery, a published phone number and email and explicit specialist listings provide practical certainty for clients arranging both simple and technical appointments.

Good to Know

The salon, Grangetown and lists 0191 565 55 56 for bookings. For services requiring consultation, such as advanced colour, dermaplaning or semi-permanent lashes, phone ahead to confirm appointment length and any preparation notes shown on the salon’s booking page.

The Profile

Just be presents itself as a long-standing Sunderland salon, established for over twenty-five years, with a reputation for a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The site highlights a stable team of expert therapists and a comprehensive list of professional beauty treatments, positioning the salon as an enduring local choice.

Opening times and a clear booking call-to-action underline the salon’s practical accessibility: shorter Saturday hours and weekday evening availability make it possible to arrange treatments around work schedules. The salon stresses a homely feel and personal attention from experienced therapists rather than a high-volume commercial model.

Why It Made the List

Just be’s defining merit is its longevity and consistent customer-focused approach, combining decades of local experience with a compact, friendly team of therapists. That reputation for steady, personable service gives clients confidence that treatments will be delivered in a relaxed environment by practitioners who understand local preferences and returning customers’ needs.

Good to Know

The salon publishes weekday and Saturday opening hours on its site; bookings are encouraged in advance. If you require an evening appointment, check the published times and phone ahead, as later weekday slots are limited and tend to fill quickly.

The Profile

The Beauty Lounge is situated in High Barnes, two minutes’ walk from Sunderland Royal Hospital, and the website specifically notes free parking and a regular number 5 bus stop right outside. The salon presents itself as a spa-like space where qualified staff provide a broad range of beauty and holistic treatments.

The business is a stockist of ENVIRON skincare and MADE FOR LIFE organics and emphasises fully qualified therapists providing long-standing client care. Testimonials on the site reflect extended client relationships, and the salon highlights specialised work including lashes, waxing and professional facials as part of a consistent service offer.

Why It Made the List

The Beauty Lounge’s convenient High Barnes location, complimentary parking and proximity to public transport make it especially suitable for clients seeking a relaxed appointment close to Sunderland Royal Hospital. Its combination of recognised skincare brands and longstanding local client loyalty gives it a distinct practical advantage for regular treatments and targeted skin work.

Good to Know

Free on-site parking and a nearby number 5 bus stop are mentioned on the salon’s page, making arrival straightforward for both drivers and public-transport users. If travelling from the hospital area, expect a short walk of around two minutes to reach the salon.

The Profile

Polished Hair & Beauty, based in Barnes and established in 2015, advertises a combined hair, beauty and barbering offer delivered in a relaxed and contemporary environment. The salon emphasises ongoing professional development among its stylists and therapists, with an explicit focus on personalised, customer-focused appointments rather than generic, one-size-fits-all services.

The website sets out particular operational policies alongside treatment details, noting that gift vouchers can only be redeemed on treatments with Caroline and Mel and that appointments with specific practitioners require following a supplied booking link. The salon also lists medical-grade Elim nail and foot therapies and a wide nail and gel polish menu, indicating specialist nail expertise.

Why It Made the List

Polished’s distinctive strength lies in a clearly structured team and transparent booking and voucher policies: clients know which practitioners accept vouchers and where to book for specialist staff. That clarity, combined with extensive nail and beauty treatment listings, gives customers practical certainty when arranging more specific or technical appointments.

Good to Know

Note the salon’s gift voucher terms: vouchers are redeemable only with Caroline and Mel, and appointments with practitioners such as Georgia or Dr Emily require following the salon’s specific booking link. Confirm practitioner availability before purchasing or presenting vouchers.

The Profile

Glamour Forever’s Sunderland presence combines conventional beauty services with an extensive aesthetics menu, listing threading, waxing, lash and brow tints, lash extensions, makeup and nail work alongside more advanced aesthetic procedures. The salon site explicitly advertises injectables and clinical services, including anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers and skin-boosting treatments.

The business website also promotes walk-in brow bars and multiple salon locations across the UK, positioning this outlet as part of a broader network that offers both fast brow services and booked aesthetics. Their online pages include sections for offers, locations and a gallery, reflecting a cross-over between high street beauty and clinic-style treatments.

Why It Made the List

Glamour Forever’s notable merit is the combination of high-street convenience, walk-in brow bars and multiple local locations, with clinic-level skin and injectable procedures. This dual focus allows clients to access quick cosmetic services as well as scheduled aesthetic treatments, all advertised under the same local brand umbrella.

Good to Know

The salon operates walk-in brow-bar services at certain times and lists offers and multiple locations on its site; check the specific Sunderland location for walk-in hours and whether appointment-only procedures such as injectables require pre-booking and consultation.

The Profile

Bijoux Beauty lists an address at 6-7 Atkinson Buildings, Trimdon Street, Sunderland SR4 6AH along with a local telephone contact. The salon presents a broad menu including aesthetics, semi-permanent makeup, plasma fibroblast treatments and a range of nail enhancements, positioning itself as a multi-discipline beauty provider in the city centre area.

The website highlights specialised nail work such as BIAB builder-in-a-bottle overlays and sculpted extensions alongside an Elim medical-grade pedicure offering designed to treat hard skin and calluses using facial-grade ingredients. The salon also notes occasional product promotions and a presence on social channels for appointment updates.

Why It Made the List

Bijoux Beauty’s distinguishing strength is its combination of technical nail services and medical-grade pedicure options, paired with a broader aesthetics roster. For clients prioritising nail health and long-wearing enhancements, the salon’s BIAB and Elim offerings create a clear practical advantage over more generalist nail studios.

Good to Know

Bijoux publishes a local telephone number and notes promotional discounts on many luxury treatment products; for specific treatments such as BIAB or Elim pedicures it’s advisable to phone ahead to confirm available therapist seniority and appointment length.

The Profile

DOLLED UP BEAUTY appears in local mentions as a Sunderland beauty provider, but attempts to load its about pages return a 404 Not Found error. The site error prevents confirmation of a published service menu or scheduling options, so standard salon offerings cannot be verified directly from that web address.

Because the salon’s web pages return an error, available information is limited to directory entries and any social media that may be active elsewhere. Prospective clients should look for a phone number, an active Facebook or Instagram page, or a listed physical address to confirm opening times and which beauty treatments are currently offered.

Why It Made the List

DOLLED UP BEAUTY’s defining feature in the available material is the absence of a working about page at its listed web address, which means callers and browsers cannot view a confirmed service menu online. That technical issue makes checking alternative contacts such as social profiles, local directories, or on-site notices essential before making travel or booking plans.

Good to Know

The salon’s about pages return a 404 error; before travelling, users should search for an active Facebook or Instagram account, look for a listed phone number in local directories, or confirm a street-level address to verify opening times and available treatments.

The Profile

Saffrons Beauty describes itself as a salon and academy in the North East that offers a broad menu including eyelash treatments, eyebrow services, makeup and hairstyling. The site highlights both in-salon treatments and mobile bridal packages, positioning the business to serve individual clients and bridal parties across Sunderland and the surrounding region.

The salon emphasises flexible opening patterns, stating that it operates all week with later appointments to accommodate busy schedules, and mentions monthly discounts for regular clients alongside a loyalty scheme. A varied service list also includes hand henna, nail extensions and gel polish among other beauty options.

Why It Made the List

Saffrons’ defining merit is the combination of salon and academy activity alongside a clear focus on bridal and mobile work, which suits clients who want professional event makeup and hair either in-salon or on location. The extended opening pattern and loyalty incentives further support repeat bookings and busy schedules.

Good to Know

The salon advertises week-round opening and later appointment slots to fit evening schedules, plus a loyalty scheme and monthly discounts; if you need on-location bridal services, contact the salon in advance to confirm availability for your date and party size.

The Profile

Pure Bliss Spa has traded for over twenty-four years from premises in Fulwell, Sunderland and publishes a direct telephone contact for appointments. The salon lists a wide range of clinical and salon brands and technologies on its menu, including Guinot, Environ, Omnilux light therapy, CACI, microneedling, HydraFacial, IPL and 3D Lipo.

Treatment rooms are described as luxurious and sensory, with heated beds and aromatic touches, while therapists are promoted as highly trained. The site highlights a balance between deeply relaxing rituals and high-performance, results-driven therapies, creating an environment suited to both relaxation and clinical skin goals.

Why It Made the List

Pure Bliss’s notable merit is the combination of a long-established local presence with a comprehensive selection of advanced spa and clinical technologies. For clients seeking both indulgent aromatherapy and measurable aesthetic treatments, the salon’s broad technical menu and experienced therapists offer an integrated approach to results and relaxation.

Good to Know

The salon publishes clear opening hours and a phone number and offers gift vouchers and a downloadable app; check available appointment windows for technologies such as HydraFacial, IPL or 3D Lipo which typically require pre-booking and precise time allocations.

The Profile

Golden Touch is recorded in local listings as a Sunderland beauty salon but the available references do not include a functioning website, a service menu, a published telephone number or a postal address, so the exact range of treatments offered cannot be confirmed from those entries alone.

Prospective clients should therefore look for a current telephone contact, an active social media page or a recognised directory entry to verify opening times, the salon’s address, accessibility and available services; checking these sources will determine whether the business is currently trading and accepting new appointments.

Why It Made the List

Golden Touch’s defining characteristic within local listings is the scarcity of publicly available operational information; that paucity makes telephone confirmation or an in-person check essential to establish the salon’s address, current opening hours, which treatments are offered and whether step-free access or parking is available.

Good to Know

Because the online record is limited, try to find a phone number, recent social posts or a local directory entry before travelling; confirm whether the salon is currently trading, accepts walk-ins or bookings, and ask about parking or step-free access if either is important to your visit.
