Associates Hair & Beauty
At Associates, hair is our passion. We provide a one-to-one service, starting with a consultation taking into account your hair-type, face-shape, lifestyle and hair-care needs. A luxury shampoo in our Hair Spa will totally relax your body and mind. Throughout your experience we provide an excellent cutting, colour and styling service.

With continuous education and training, we offer the latest in styling and hair care, keeping up-to-date and ahead of the crowd. We give you a warm and friendly service from start to finish. In your consultation, we will work out what you need for your hair treatment and explain the products that we are going to use.
Services
All hair cuts at Associates begin with an in-depth consultation with your chosen stylist, taking into consideration your face-shape, hair-type and lifestyle, followed by a relaxing shampoo and conditioning massage in our luxury hair-spa. Your hair will then be cut and finished with a fabulous blow-dry, complemented by appropriate styling products.
For women, losing their hair is a very traumatic experience and often comes hand-in-hand with other distressing health issues. Philip's desire to boost women's self-esteem and confidence in their image inspired him to launch this FREE service for NHS patients. Clients wishing to use this service should speak to Philip - the service is discreet, professional, compassionate and confidential.

Friendly, skilled staff who listen to what you want doing with your hair and then do it or negotiate any changes if it's not possible. I always feel well looked after and happy when I leave

Restyle again this morning with Phillip. Great cut - totally what I wanted. The Salon is immaculately clean and only 1 person in at a time when I was there. Great job 👍🏻

I went for the first time today and wish I’d been sooner. Sally is so friendly and a great stylist. She coloured and cut my hair beautifully and I’m really happy with the result. I really liked the massage… chair and the breakdown of price on my receipt. Something I’ve not had in previous salons. I’m looking forward to going back.

Had my hair cut by the lovely kyla yesterday we had such a laugh and Phillip advised me about getting black said I needed a softer colour other than black so chose brown and he was right It was a great experience The stylist really listens to what you want, had a lovely cup of coffee made as well. I also loved listening to the banter with Phillip and his clients I was chuckling to myself in the chair Kyla did a great job in my hair which I’m pleased with. Well done team x

My absolute all-time favourite salon in Durham. A personalised, professional service is guaranteed and it is clear that the team genuinely care about their clients and the experience. The results are stunning and affordable too.

Booked hair up last minute for a wedding two weeks ago as my usual hairdresser couldn’t fit me in. I was in for half an hour max, they charged me £40, bearing in mind this is just for a pin up, no cut or colour and I had to re do most of it myself because it fell down on the way home from the salon! I would absolutely not recommend this salon. To make the matter worse when I googled the price list they list the hair up as £40 with cut 🤔 I did ring back to complain but was offered no consolation! All round bad experience!!

Sally once again I have left the salon with lovely hair. Colour and cut is wonderful, thank you. Would not go anywhere else. The staff are so attentive and the whole experience is wonderful, including the luxurious coffee they provide!

Such a Star in the face of adversity....Nothing worse than a power-cut but nothing phases Philip.
Best Hairdresser in Durham.
Thanks for today.
See you soon. 🌟

Phillip has been my hairdresser for a while, and I am always happy with what he does to my hair, he is brilliant at what he does and you won't be disappointed when he works his magic on your hair, he always knows what to do with my hair and i trust him completely!

Had my first appointment here with Phillip after being recommended by a friend and i can honestly say its the best hairdressers I have been to (and I've been to a few). I have quite difficult hair, very thick curly and in poor condition and i was made to feel very comfortable and Phillip really did work miracles on it and offered a lot of advice. Oh and I have to mention the hair wash station, it was like a real Spa experience, including the reclining massage chair! Would recommend to everyone, already cant wait to go back!
