Haringtons Salons

What Haringtons Salons does

Haringtons Salons is a privately held, multi-location hairdressing group founded in 1984 and headquartered in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. The company operates seven salons across South East England, covering Amersham, Beaconsfield, Maidenhead, Marlow, Wendover, Winchester, and Wokingham, and employs between 101 and 250 staff. Core services include precision cutting, bespoke colouring (balayage, highlights, grey coverage), keratin smoothing, Olaplex bond repair, and bridal or special occasion styling, with select locations offering beauty adjacencies such as Elemis facials, Jessica manicures and pedicures, waxing, lash extensions, spray tanning, and Japanese Head Spa treatments. Revenue is generated through three primary streams: in-salon hairdressing services priced by stylist level and hair length, retail of professional haircare products (Kérastase, L'Oréal Professionnel, Pureology, Redken) both in-salon and online, and gift vouchers.

The business runs on a transactional pay-as-you-go pricing model with deposits required for higher-value services (extensions, balayage, smoothing, wedding hair) and a £2 per-appointment green fee that funds the Green Salon Collective waste-recycling partnership and the Haringtons Helps community programme. Customer engagement is supported by a stamp-based loyalty scheme, a £10 recommend-a-friend referral programme, and a network of partner perks with local gyms, pilates studios, and beauty clinics. Marketing relies on location-specific Instagram accounts, content marketing through the company blog, and direct online booking through both a website portal and a mobile app. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through owned-and-operated physical salons plus an e-commerce storefront, with no third-party resellers.

Technology is mostly standard retail SaaS (online booking via s-iq.co, mobile app, e-commerce shop), with one notable partnership-driven AI feature: K-Scan hair and scalp analysis, developed by Kérastase (L'Oréal) and deployed at the Winchester salon. The company has received multiple industry recognitions including Salon Group of the Year at The Hair Awards The Cut 2026 and nominations at the L'Oréal Colour Trophy Awards and British Hairdressing Business Awards. There are no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or external investors; Haringtons Salons Limited (Company Number 06812259) operates as an independent UK private limited company, with operations run through Haringtons Payroll Limited.
