Ark Hair & The Retreat is the number one Hair and Beauty Salon in Urmston, Greater Manchester. Having already spent many years creating exceptional hair styles as Ark, we recently refurbished the salon and created The Retreat - a fully equipped beauty salon, where we can offer our clients the latest in body, face, nail, tanning and hair removal treatments.
Whether you're looking to enhance your natural colour, stand out from the crowd or just cover up a bit of grey, Ark Hair's colourists have the skills and experience to get you looking fabulous. We use professional quality colour products such as Koleston Perfect by Wella, Inoa by L'Oreal and Mood Italian Colour so you can be assured of lasting, vibrant colour at an affordable price.

Whether you want a tried and tested classic or the latest radical style, our stylists will have your hair looking just the way you want it. Take a look out our price list below and see how affordable our rates are.
If you want some subtle highlights, lowlights, or a combination of both, foil hair colouring is the way to go. At Ark Hair, our stylists are extremely experienced in this tried and tested technique, which involves colouring sections or 'slices' of hair using foils. Weaved or sliced - permanently colored highlights/low lights have as few or as many as you require.
Hair weaves are a fantastic way to instantly increase the fullness, thickness and length of your hair, be it for a special occasion or everyday styles. Ark Hair are experts in hair weaves. Due to the unique nature of every weave we do, prices are only available upon consultation. Contact us to book an appointment today.

Revitalise Keratin Treatment. Wow!!! Never ever did I think I could have frizz free hair!! especially when it rains or is hot!! Now I just wash and blow dry my hair, it is straight, no frizz at all. Thanks so much to the team at Ark for recommending this treatment.

First visit today to The Retreat but not my first treatment from Dianne. A lovely 90 minute hot stone massage to reward myself after a very busy few months, lovely to see Dianne again. Following the government guidelines perfectly. Will most definitely be back for all my future beauty needs. 💆🏼‍♀️💅🏼😁

After being there for 5 hours and the woman doing parts of my hair twice I ended up coming home wanting to cry. My hair was a complete mess when I left and was nothing like what I asked for. Lady put bleach on my hair and it went copper/Orange. She didn't use a toner so it just looked shocking to a point I had to go and buy one from boots. Also I asked for her not to take much off my hair and it's alot shorter than I wanted.
Very disappointed and I won't be going back.
Only good thing about the experience was the woman was lovely to talk to just a shame about my hair

DO NOT RECOMMEND
Horrible hairdressers.
My hair was washed with cold water and a very horrible wash itself, too heavy handed, banged my head repeatedly off the sink and was very uncareful.
The hairdresser didn't say one word to me throughout the cut, she was distracted multiple times looking out windows and chatting to people behind her. she was very rough with my hair and caused much discomfort.
My hair was rushed and not done as i asked, i knew this was due to it being rushed as soon after my hair was finished i saw her leave to go into Urmston.
Horrible experience with rude, uncaring staff
