About Combers Salon
Why It's Time To Visit
Combers Inside-Out Hairdressing
In Taunton
Anyone who’s visited Combers Inside-Out Hairdressing in Taunton will tell you there’s something a little bit special about our team and the way we work.
Everything we do is centred around you, our valued guests, because we want you to look and feel your very best not only when you leave our salon, but all day every day.
We have over 40 years of living, learning and breathing all things HAIR. We are specialists and we know you will leave us with a renewed sense of self love & confidence.
Having the right haircut and colour can give you confidence and fill you with happiness every time you catch a glimpse of your reflection.
So how do we make sure you feel wonderful from the inside out? Our hairdressers turn our thinking upside down – or, as we say, ‘inside out’ - adapting and developing our service approach and consultation skills.
We actively listen to your needs and ask the right questions to fully understand how you want to look and feel. Only then can we create a beautiful hairstyle you love, that suits you and fits in with your lifestyle.
Of course, no team is complete without the right support, so we must also mention our amazing front-of-house customer service team, salon assistants, and those lovely folks who do our admin, social media and marketing.
You might be interested to learn that 95% of the Combers Inside-Out salon team were selected and educated from apprentices, many starting on Saturdays while still at school. Our Academy and dedicated education team ensure our apprentices receive the full NVQ programme and certification as well as the bespoke Combers elite Outside-In academy hairdressing programme and valuable salon experience.
So, it’s fair to say that we cannot wait to welcome you into Combers Inside Out Hairdressing Salon. We love welcoming guests old and new so please don’t be shy. When you visit, you’ll experience a warm and positive energy that bounces off our stylists, our guests… our ‘tribe’. As like-minded loving souls and kind individuals, we love winning together and sharing experiences, tears, laughter, hopes and success. After all, working as a team is so much more joyful than working alone.
Ultimately, we know and never take for granted that we are blessed. We love what we do, and our guests make it possible for us to do what we love.
Sustainable
Hairdressing & Vegan Products
Our recycling policy is a vital step toward reducing our environmental footprint. We know that many of you share our concern for the planet, and we believe that, together, we can make a real difference. Our green solution for recycling the waste generated in our salon includes:
- Hair: Collected and repurposed for various uses, including oil absorption in waterways, composting, and even wig-making if the hair is long enough.
- Used Foils and Aluminium: These materials are infinitely recyclable and will never see a landfill.
- Empty Colour Tubes: Recycled to reduce waste and environmental impact.
- Chemicals and PPE: Safely processed and disposed of, ensuring minimal harm to the environment.
- Plastics, Paper, and Bottles: All recyclable items are sorted and processed to reduce waste.
- General Waste: Anything that cannot be recycled is used to generate energy, further avoiding landfill.
We have also chosen to align ourselves with Davines hair colours and hair products which are sustainable and largely vegan. Our aim in partnering with Davines is very much an environmental one. We both aim to do as little harm to this planet as possible.
Indeed, Davines signed up to Life Gate’s Zero Impact® Project over a decade ago and continue each year to improve, recently becoming part of the B Corporation Movement. Individually, B Corps meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability and aspire to use the power of markets to solve social and environmental problems.
We love that Davines are targeting the reduction of harmful emissions and the use of electric energy from renewable sources. They make growing use of natural highly biodegradable ingredients and are dedicated to reducing harmful materials that are used in packaging.
Transparency, beauty, respect, and sustainability are part of the Davines vision. We share that vision. Combers Inside-Our Hairdressing in Taunton has a humanistic approach to business and we put family values and a need to protect our planet at the heart of everything we do.
Looking After You During Your Visit
It almost goes without saying that we will look after you during your visit, ensuring you feel relaxed and comfortable and knowing your hair is in great hands.
We will also offer you a selection of fine teas, including herbal and fruit teas, and freshly ground coffee - all either from local suppliers or our fancy coffee machine. A selection of juices and water are also included for your refreshment.
Augustus, Taunton’s finest and award-winning restaurant (next door to Combers), has a selection of breakfast and lunchtime dishes for the enjoyment of Combers guests. This is perfect if you are visiting our colour bar as you can enjoy some delicious food while your hair colour is processing. You can even have a glass of wine if you fancy!
Simply ask your Colourist or Front of House for this service upon arrival or any time during your visit. All we ask is that you pay the waiter direct upon delivery with cash or card. Please note: Augustus is closed on Mondays.
