Hairdressers and Barbers in Havant
Salons and barbers in the town
Havant has a good selection of hairdressers and barbers for a town of its size, with salons and barbershops concentrated in the town centre and additional options in the residential areas. The range covers everything from traditional men's barbers offering a quick trim to full-service women's salons providing cuts, colours, blow-dries and treatments.
The barbershops along East Street and in The Springs area offer affordable men's haircuts and are busy throughout the week, with Saturday being the peak day. Walk-in appointments are usually available during quieter periods, though at busy times there can be a wait. Prices are competitive and generally lower than salons in larger centres. The traditional barber's chair, a quick conversation and a tidy-up is a formula that has not changed much in decades and continues to serve the local male population well.
Women's salons in Havant provide cutting, colouring, highlights, balayage, perms, blow-dries, conditioning treatments and styling for special occasions such as weddings and proms. The salons tend to have a loyal local clientele, with many customers returning to the same stylist for years. The relationship between a hairdresser and a regular client is one of the small continuities of community life, and many of Havant's salons have been trading for decades.
Some salons also offer beauty treatments including waxing, eyebrow shaping, lash treatments, nail services and facial treatments. The combination of hair and beauty under one roof provides a convenient one-stop service for customers wanting a more comprehensive appointment.
Leigh Park has its own hairdressers serving the estate, and Bedhampton and Denvilles also have local options. The distribution means that most residents can access a hairdresser without travelling to the town centre.
For more specialist or high-end services, including advanced colouring techniques, hair extensions and bridal styling, some residents travel to salons in Chichester, Southsea or Portsmouth city centre, where the range of specialist services is wider. But for everyday haircuts and routine maintenance, the salons in Havant are convenient, affordable and well established.
Mobile hairdressers also serve the Havant area, offering home visits for customers who find it difficult to get to a salon. This service is particularly valued by elderly residents, those with mobility issues and parents with young children. Some mobile hairdressers also serve care homes and sheltered housing in the borough.
